Spotify launched its first app on Samsung Smart TV in 2012. It works with TVs running the old Smart Hub platform. Today, Spotify has launched a new app for the 2015 and 2016 Samsung Smart TVs. These are TVs running on the new Tizen operating system. The app works for everyone whether you are on the premium or free subscription plan. I bought a new Samsung smart tv in December 2016 and there doesn't seem to be a Spotify app available. Is this correct??? All the forums I've found related to Samsung smart TVs and Spotify are from 2015 and I can't find an answer for this anywhere. One of the main reasons I bought a smart tv was for.
Spotify on TV You can play Spotify directly from your TV, or by using your phone, tablet, or desktop as a remote. To see if your TV supports the Spotify app, go to the app store on your TV and search for Spotify. If your TV isn't listed, you can upgrade it with a soundbar or streamer that supports Spotify Connect. Once you've downloaded the apps you want, it's time to enjoy them. There are two ways you can open an app. Press the Home button to open up the TV's Home screen menu. If the app is listed on the Home menu, use the remote's directional pad to navigate to it and open it. Those specific sets will soon be followed by the rest of the 2012 Smart TV range and Samsung's Smart-enabled Blu-ray players and home theatre systems in making the Spotify app available.

Spotify has announced that free users will have full on-demand access to the music-streaming service on Samsung’s smart TVs for the first time.
So far, one of the perks of being a $10/month Spotify subscriber has been things like offline and ad-free access to on-demand music across all platforms. Up until now, free users have been able to access on-demand music through the web and tablets, while those on mobile phones could only access shuffle mode rather than play what they like. Samsung Smart TVs, on the other hand, have often offered free trials to entice people to sign up, but other than that, big screens have largely been limited to paying members, though Android TV is one notable exception as of May 2016.

The “new and improved Spotify experience” will be better optimized for the big screen, according to Spotify, while it also ushers in support for Spotify Connect, meaning you can control the interface using your smartphone. But arguably the bigger piece of news here is that Spotify is opening unlimited, on-demand access to all members.
Free listeners will still, of course, have to put up with ads, but this represents a notable evolution for a music-streaming service that has been criticized for its free tier in the past — the argument being that ad-supported music doesn’t properly recompense artists and devalues their work.
Rumors continue to circulate that Spotify is considering placing some restrictions on its free tier in the future, but if today’s news is anything to go by, the company isn’t planning on ditching its free tier anytime soon. If anything, it’s looking to expand its free offering, and to shoehorn more users on the premium tier.

It’s worth noting here that the new Samsung TV app will only be available on Tizen-powered TVs produced after 2015 — older models created from 2012 to 2014 will still be limited to premium members.
