★★★★ Secil Yanik 6/29/2026
Terrible app with a new problem with every update. I had problems using my Amex card on multiple occasions and every time a software update fixed the issue. Samsung support is as bad as the app as they don't do anything other than trying to sell you more Samsung products. The latest update seems to have introduced a step to login to the Samsung account before displaying the cards but I never can complete the authentication, so I can't use my watch to pay anymore.
★★★★ Joshua Sobieralski 6/24/2026 v8.0.20.20806
I can't even use the app, it keeps redirecting me to an unavailable page in order to get me to install Galaxy wearable, an app that I HAVE. I wanted to use this app, but I can't. thus the 1 star.
★★★★ Basalt 6/23/2026
Straight up did not let me download, saying I had to use the "Samsung Galaxy Wearable App," then gave me a broken link. When I found the app myself, this stupid thing just locked me out still
★★★★ Somenath Chakraborty 6/21/2026

Samsung Wallet itself does not appear in Samsung's own UPI app selection menu. I have multiple UPI apps installed, but One UI limits the payment picker to only 10 apps with no "More" option. As a result, Samsung Wallet often cannot be selected at all, making the app useless despite being installed. It's frustrating that Samsung's own wallet is blocked by a limitation in Samsung's own OS. Please allow access to all installed UPI apps or add a "More" button like the Share menu already has.
★★★★ Ammar Bokhamsin 6/15/2026
Why Samsung shut this up down if people have any scammers or any sort of these people across the trick you for your money they can grab all your data from the watch and if you have a Gmail account the account will come all to them and then all your public property stuff and personal stuff will be leaked into their hands They can spend all of your money with no of your nose you're not going to know who did it or whatever happened or somehow you're just going to be super confused

★★★★ K Mena 6/14/2026 v8.0.20.20806
I've tried importing & simply adding the cards, it will not accept them. My phone does, though.
★★★★ W Murdoch 6/14/2026 v8.0.20.20806
The app will not register my card, claiming it is the bank's problem (Capitol One). The bank says it is a Samsung issue. We have been going around on this for almost 2 years. So, the app is non-functional, and Samsung has no interest is addressing the problem.
★★★★ josh gable 6/11/2026
It is constantly trying to sink from my phone to my watch or my watch to my phone which then wasted my battery down to 18% every day because it's trying to sink and it will not sink nothing constantly trying to say it's sinking from my watch to my phone and it never does sink

I recently redownloaded this on my Pixel 7 to use with my old Galaxy watch. The 'sign in' button is greyed out and won't let me attempt to login. Years ago, this app was fine and worked as expected.

★★★★ Wanda N 5/9/2026
Apparently Samsung Pay no longer works with Wells Fargo. Now I can only have Samsung Wallet, which does not work no matter what I do. It won't even open. I REALLY don't want to use Google Wallet. Samsung please fix this.

★★★★ kunal roy 5/3/2026 v8.0.10.20806
I'm unable to use the wallet as it keeps on asking for confirmation of password. After confirmation also the same screen keeps on coming.
★★★★ Pritam Mondal 5/2/2026
Absolutely abysmal experience, I downloaded this app, it never worked, it made my watch performance worse, and I cannot uninstall this.
★★★★ Lei 4/28/2026
My galaxy watch active2 keeps insisting on installing this app. I did it to make it stop but the watch keeps opening the Samsung pay app which I don't use. Samsung no longer supports other phones (mine is a Motorola razr) My watch is useless now because the prompt consumes the battery. There's no solution to this issue whatsoever
★★★★ Arick Marak 4/28/2026 v8.0.10.20806
not working ❌
★★★★ Big Boo 4/27/2026
Managed to log in once, and only add one card, every other card i attempted to add would result on the cards not being able to validate. Then after a few days of use, it wiped my user and card data, and doesn't even let me login, rendering the whole experience of paying with my watch using samsung software an annoyance. The easiest solution was switching to Google Wallet, all my cards were registered in a minute there, and i can pay with my watch again without issues.
★★★★ Susan Fender 4/18/2026 v8.0.10.20806
states watch is not compatible and crashes. The watch in question is a Galaxy Watch 8.
★★★★ Julio Ortiz 4/17/2026 v8.0.10.20806
