Need to take a break from the action? No problem—the Monopoly app lets you pause the game as long as you want. Enjoy a piece of pumpkin pie or a round of gift unwrapping, and then pick up right where you left off, with all your game pieces, properties and Monopoly cash exactly where you left them.

Set a festive atmosphere with holiday carols, or choose chart-topping hits and classic tunes from every genre, like Country, Dance and R&B, plus songs in English, Spanish, Japanese and more, with a library that’s growing all the time.

The Kontrol TV app brings touchscreen functionality and a super-easy multi-user experience to your Smart TV. No need to pass the remote around when you’re in the middle of a hot competition—Kontrol TV lets multiple game players get in on the action by controlling the game right from their smartphones.

App Extra: SwipeIt


The holidays are a natural time to revisit special moments from the past year, share memories of bygone holidays, or instantly snap and share party highlights. For a better way to share, download the SwipeIt app and turn your Smart TV into a brilliant gallery.

Once SwipeIt is downloaded and installed on your Smart TV and mobile device, just use your device to select a photo or video.

You can view all of the photo and video content from your mobile devices on your Smart TV just this easily, and because multiple devices can share on the same TV at the same time, everyone can get in on the show.
