Smart Remote for LG Smart TVs

I’ve tried a few different smart remotes for my LG TV, but overall this app has performed the best and been the most reliable alternate option to the OEM remote. It’s really handy when the TV remote is across the room (kids leave it wherever) but my phone is right with me, I can change the volume, channels, mute, and navigate menus all from my iPhone. It’s great! Keep up the good work ;-)

This is the third remote control app I’ve purchased for my 55” LG OLED tv from Costco. This app works perfectly. The other two only partially worked, such as would change channels but not adjust volume. This one does it all. When we misplace the actual tv remote, I only have to grab my phone.

This is a review for the upgraded paid version. The free version is unusable, and I have no issue paying $4 for a working remote. The app is stupid and there are glaring issues that make it unusable. The keyboard is non functional because the developer literally didn’t put a space bar into it. Meaning you cannot type spaces in anything you input. This is trivial to fix for the developer, it’s not a app limitation because the LG official app has a space and it works normally. The developers here are just too dumb to figure out a space bar. The first input key of the keyboard doesn’t work either. You have to double tap the first input key to make it start working. Does this make sense or is it a technical limitation? No, it works fine on the official app. Again the developers are stupid or lazy. Until these obvious issues are fixed, this gets one star because there’s no excuse.

Works great, although it doesn’t turn your tv on - but that’s expected because it works over WiFi and your tv isn’t using WiFi unless it’s already on. No big deal. Saved $30 on buying a new remote. Thanks to the developers.

So I purchased the paid “pro” version and after a while it stopped working. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it worked, except that it was the free version again asking me to upgrade. So I clicked on “restore purchase” which upgraded me back to pro version again but in pro version it doesn’t connect to my tv at all. So in summary, if you download the free version, the app will work sometimes but if you upgrade, you are pretty much just donating 3.99 to the developer as the app becomes useless.
