Remote control for LG

Use it when you lost your remote but there are ads

I might be missing something, but this app is a waste. In my case, the blu-ray player has to be on the same network as the app on the phone. Who dedicates an independent hardwired connection directly to the network for a legacy blu-ray player? That’s absurd. I’m not going to worry with that, going backwards 10 years just so I can then access it from my phone. I imagine doing what people really want from an app like this and the millions of pointless duplicates is hindered by protocols or something, but there’s got to be a better way. I want to connect it with HDMI and then be able to control the device from my phone and access it like any other components (sound bar, TV, AppleTV, cable, Roku). Is that not possible? Maybe not considering the concept of a truly universal smart phone remote app, though desperately wanted, seems to be unattainable though people keep downloading things like this which infer they do something similar in a technologically relevant way. They do not.

I got the free version. It has a picture of my Blu-ray remote. I opened the app and it immediately got caught in my ad blocker. I have no issues with buying an ad-free app that works, but I don’t want to waste money on one that doesn’t. This one says that the device needs to be on my WiFi network. I think that my blu-ray player doesn’t have WiFi access , so it would not work with this app. I have rated it 1 Star because it hits me with ads so quickly I can’t even find out.

It’s so frustrating to be using the remote and get constantly interrupted by ads! Also you can’t even turn the tv on with the remote app and it has to be connected to WiFi to work. Then sometimes it doesn’t even work so you have to close completely out of it and reopen it . This app made me want to order a real remote for my tv just so I didn’t have to use it anymore . Horrible.

While this remote does detect my tv, after being idle for a period of time, I have to force close and reopen to reconnect in order to do anything. If you use to simply go to a certain channel or not in a hurry to adjust volume, it works great.
