Samsung Smart Switch user reviews :
It helped restore my all data from my old phone whenever the screen was cracked. But it didn’t install the apps it had before, so some apps I couldn’t remember, but overall it helped tons!
The apps installed perfectly, there is a small but fatal error that i couldn’t scroll down on the terms screen to check the agree button. So it will never work thou it’s installed.
Worked first time with no failures or ann0ying errors
Very nice apps
