Just got a Samsung tv and wanted to install the Movies Anywhere app but can’t seem to find it.  Have tried searching but the search function is not very good. Is it available?

Hello @PastorRunner, I would recommend reaching out to the devs of the Movies Anywhere app. As there may be compatibility issues with the app and may not work for your model, if the app is not showing up in your search then it is not available for your TV.

unsure what site you are referring to

I have a movies anywhere account; but I can’t locate the app anywhere on the tv to download.  I have been able to find other apps and install fine eg fandango

Do you have a media streaming device like Roku, Apple TV, or Fire TV by Amazon? The app can be accessed through a media streaming device and not directly on some TVs. Per Google.

yes. I can do it that way. A bit annoying that they don’t have major app like that available on a brand new tv.  Thanks. I did some searching and all my results kept saying that it was now available on Samsung.

I think The Movies Anywhere app isn't available on Samsung TVs. You can use a streaming device like Roku or Amazon Fire TV to access it.

There are multiple sites that say it's available on Samsung TVs; including on the Samsung site: Smart TV | Apps with Smart Hub | Samsung US

The page above does say "Varies by region" perhaps not in the US. 

I tried multiple chats with Samsung and those went nowhere.

Again, this is a major app and makes no sense why they don't have it.

Hi there, Thanks for asking about this. You should be able to use the steps in the link below to locate and download the app you're looking for.

However, if you are still having trouble after these steps, I would recommend checking for software updates and resetting the Smart Hub as the next steps. I'm providing links below on how to do this. 

1. Update Software:

I understand how to install apps. My question is if the "Movies Anywhere" app is available. I search (as in the link above) but don't see it anywhere, even though the Samsung website indicates it is available.  I have Updated and Reset the Smart Hub.
