Posted .rizzo,
I apologize for the inconveniences you have had with your apps not working properly.
You can try cold booting your TV, updating your TV's software, deleting, and downloading the app again, and a completing full reset of Smart Hub to correct the issue with the app
Here is a link to a step-by-step trouble shooting guide to get you started:
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01003027/
You may want to go through these steps to resolve the connection issue:
1) Check the distance between the TV and your modem or access point. The distance should not exceed 50 ft. (15.2 m).
2) Minimize interference by not using or turning off wireless devices. Also, verify that there are no obstacles between the TV and the modem or access point. (WiFi strength can be decreased by appliances, cordless phones, stone walls/fireplaces, etc.)
3) Perform a network test to check if there is a network problem.
Press the Home button on your remote. Navigate to Settings >Support> Device Care> Self Diagnosis> Smart Hub Connection Test
If the test concludes that the unit needs service, please contact us via any of the following options:
1) Phone: 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for TVs), available 8AM – 12AM EST 7 days a week
2) LiveChat: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/#contact_us_for_support

Posted .Brindha,
I am very sorry that you are experiencing issues turning your TU8000 TV on. Please try the following troubleshooting steps:
(1) Make sure that the AC power cord is securely plugged in to the TV and the wall outlet.
(2) Make sure that the wall outlet is working and the power indicator at the bottom of the TV is lit and glowing a solid red. If it is off, the TV either does not have power, or it is on and the screen is black. If it is blinking, your TV may need service.
(3) Try pressing the TV Controller button at the bottom of the TV to make sure that the problem is not with the remote control.
(4) If the TV turns on, your issue may be with the remote control
If your issue persists, please contact Samsung Customer Support, and a representative will gladly assist you.
