I bought it not knowing that I would not be able to add apps to it. So an app that I had installed on my previous smaller tv is better for me than this one!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there - we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback! We are constantly working to bring new, exciting content to SmartCast. Your V-Series 55" features compatibility with Apple AirPlay and Chromecast Built-in, so you may be able to cast the app you want directly to the TV from your mobile device. If you’d like any help, we have a How-To Playlist on YouTube or you can go to support.VIZIO.com and text message, chat, or call one of our great support agents.
If there is only one thing that I would add to this comment, would be that thire should be an app that allows people to download any apps that they want to download. Then waiting and hoping to download the app that they want. Like HBOMax.
