"Galaxy Apps" store not installing after the lollipop update

[OverLordOfYou]

Ok so my main problem is that the stock app "Galaxy Essentials" that the S5 has is not what I like and wont auto update apps that I've had installed from the "Galaxy Apps" store.
I had the "Galaxy Apps" store installed before but the update wiped it out.

For example I use S NOTE
Well there's been an update pending for this app for over a month that I didn't get until I search for it and manually updated it. The Play store obviously wouldn't update it because it's an app you only download thru the "Galaxy Apps" store

So I tried going on Samsungs website and downloading the latest version of the store. But it doesn't matter is I use the new apk or the old apk the result is the same "application not installed"

Is there something I'm missing?

Welcome to Android Central!

I think they just renamed there app store to Galaxy Essentials. Are you not able to update the apps through the new store? Have you tried going in to your settings, application manager, all apps, and going to the Galaxy Essentials app and clearing the data to reset it? That could fix the issue and cause it to update itself.

My problem with "Galaxy Essentials" is that it doesn't have "purchased" section meaning I have to manually look for any app I run and previously installed to see if I have to update it.

Can someone send me the link to the APK as well?

My new Note 5 does not have the app loaded on it per se. It makes me use a widget to get to the app...stupid.
