Upgrade to GALAXY Apps
Your Galaxy Tab 4 comes with the Samsung Apps app pre-installed. However, the GALAXY Apps app replaces Samsung Apps, and you’ll have an opportunity to upgrade to GALAXY Apps automatically when you start Samsung Apps.
- Tap the Apps icon on the Home screen.
- Tap Samsung Apps if you see it within the Apps screen.
After a couple seconds, you see the Upgrade screen, as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6 The Updates screen informs you that a new version of the app is available to download and install.
- If you want to keep the app updated at all times, tap the I Want to Keep Samsung Apps Up to Date check box. If you use a carrier’s data plan instead of Wi-Fi, doing this could result in additional data charges if you’re close to your monthly data plan limit.
Tap Update. After a minute or two, the app closes and the GALAXY Apps icon replaces the Samsung Apps icon in the Apps screen, as shown in Figure 7.

Now that you’ve upgraded to GALAXY Apps, it’s time to use the app to shop for apps that are optimized to work on your Tab 4.
- Tap the Apps icon on the Home screen.
- Tap GALAXY Apps in the Apps screen (refer to Figure 7).
- A page of featured apps recommended by Samsung appears on the home screen. Scroll up and down the page to review groups of apps as well as individual apps. You can view more apps in a group by tapping See More.
Tap the Category icon at the right side of the menu bar at the top of the page, swipe up and down the category list if necessary to view all the categories, and then tap a category to browse the list of results for that category (see Figure 8).

- If you know the name of the app, book, magazine, or movie you want, tap the Search icon at the right side of the menu bar to specify a search term.
- Type a search term into the Search field. Possible matches for your search appear in the list below the field.
- Tap the app in the list if the product you want is listed as an option.
- Swipe up and down the list of apps in the Results page, and then tap the title of the app you want more information about.
Read more about the product. You can purchase—or download, if the app is free—the app on the description page. In this example, install Fraction Calculator Plus Free by tapping Install (see Figure 9).
