"Wow....what a let down!"
Version: Kies 2.6.1.13105
Pros
NONE! Stay away!
Cons
Used this software in version 2. Worked perfect backing up and restoring. Now I just used Kies v3. What can I say???? Did NOT back up my urgent messages....lost them all. What a JOKE!!!! Stay away from at all cost! I am not the only one...Google it. Bunch of morons...do they actually test their software before realeasing it?????????? NOT HAPPY!!
Summary
Absolute joke, Pity their incompetence has lost me all my important messages!
Where did they get their programmers from? Kindergarten? Oops...even they could do better!

"Not only useless, but FRUSTRATING"
Version: Kies 2.6.1.13105
Pros
It's Free.
Cons
Where do I start? Let's just say that as I write this, I have to restrain myself from using swear words to describe how FRUSTRATING and non-intuitive this piece of software is.

"screwed up all of my mp3 files, doesn't work at all."
Version: Kies 2.6.1.13105
Pros
none. None at all. Been attempting to use for a year and nothing works.
Cons
Utter garbage.
Summary
Messed up my computer, my mp3 player and has never properly worked. It took music OFF of my mp3 player!

"If only I could rate Samsung Kies a "0""
Version: Kies 2.6.1.13105
Pros
-There is nothing positive to say about this app. It's CRAP.
Cons
-Will take a while to start up for phone sync and backup.
-App is unable to sync with phone (connected via USB or Wifi) most of the time.
-SLOW, SLOW, SLOW.Summary
I would not recommend this Samsung Kiew to anyone unless Samsung makes some major improvements with this app. Stick with Android File Transfer, fast and quick file transfers.

"Kies 3: Banana Software"
Version: Kies 2.6.1.13105
Pros
none none none
Cons
junk. does not sync with outlook. does not sync music.
Summary
This is typical "banana software": it is delivered "green" and then left to mature with the consumer. Samsung test your software before you release it. Outlook sync does not work. There is no music sync and playback works unreliably (cannot not skip to next songs.)
-
"a nightmare"
Version: Kies 2.6.1.13105
Pros
wth... Samsung looks unable to develop a decent Sync for its hardware ... at least Kies 2.6 synced something with android 4.2, but not with 4.3 and Samsung "tried" with Kies 3.0 to fid a solution. They r still trying... 4 months not enough? What do they need, 4 years?? Incompetence pure.
Cons
Suicide or Hope?
Summary
and call centres look not informed about that... or they r briefed to deny the evidence.

"possibly the worst bit of software i know"
Version: Kies 2.6.1.13105

uhhhh

Summary
not only does it not help it actively makes ur pc worse off.
BELIEVE THE ANTI-HYPE! -

Samsung is committing corporate suicide in its cavalier attitude and response to this serious issue.GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER samsung.

"The update gets even worse."
Version: Kies 2.6.1.13105
Pros
It detects your device!
It updates several times!
Samsung has managed to introduce Bloatware on your PC too! (Sorry this not a PROS for users)
Yeah!Cons
First the downloaded application turns out to be more bugs than features. Then comes an update! You say hurray! I say go ray! It is worse than the update, slow and buggy. If you need to really recover anything from your samsung device, then please do yourself a favor and not install and hope to do anything with this piece of software. I was just trying to upgrade my Samsung Tab. Guess what I ended up doing? Installed a Custom ROM. Anyways, I am sure the times this software has worked, it has helped people to backup their contacts, music etc, but I expected Samsung to do more.
Summary
SAVE YOURSELF TROUBLE, DONT INSTALL IT. IF YOU DID, CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR IT TO WORK. IF IT WORKS GOOD FOR YOU. :)

"To not use it until they make it actually work."
Version: Kies 2.6.1.13105
Pros
Cannot find any. Only thing I manage to do with it is to save some imgs and vids to computer and delete them from the phone. Using Samsung S4.
Cons
1. It is slow
2. It too often ends up unresponsive
3. It gets unresponsive on backup trial
4. It gets unresponsive on cancel backup
5. so many things
The fact that this makes unbelievable is that this is top notch smart phone, one of the biggest companies in the World and it produced this bad application.
Very disappointed.Summary
Very bad application and terrible user experience.
