For example apps don't transfer. I'll not list the apps that didn't transfer and God knows I tried. Samsung writes:
"When I transfer apps using Smart Switch, does it transfer progressive content as well? For example, if I have been playing Angry Birds for six months and I've cleared nearly all the screens, does that information get transferred along with the app itself?
No, the app is simply reinstalled, not reinstated."
Try this. Use Samsung's app from samsung to move your data to the new tablet.
Here's their site on that -> http://www.samsung.com/us/support/smart-switch-support/#!/
