There was no warning from LG and I’m out shopping on the App Store all over again. ### 1/5 — Worst app and company ever *2025-01-23* They will charge you $6 a week as soon as you start the app! for a stupid useless app that anyone can build, shame on you do something useful ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work unless you subscribe for £5.99 a week *2024-12-08, version 1.3* Replacement for the lg tv plus remote app is a scam. Extortionate weekly subscription. Not worth it. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all *2024-11-17, version 1.3* This product doesn't work at all or provide any useful instructions on how to actually connect the television. ### 1/5 — Too Expensive *2024-10-24* Seeing the LG ThinQ in the title has you think this is an LG App. The free LG app does most, if not all of what you would need on a phone remote. This app is subscription based and cost six dollars a week. In other words about 300 plus dollars a year. WOW! That seems quite high to me. To the seller, did I misunderstand something here? If so and your app is a good value, let me know and I will redo my review. Update No response from seller and I see others with similar negative reviews. Use the app that’s free from LG over this app. This app does nothing worth paying 6 dollars once little alone as a weekly subscription or 300 a year. ### 1/5 — Only worked for a few minutes *2024-10-08* This app only worked for a short time and then no longer controlled the tv. Very disappointed in the quality. ### 1/5 — This apps a joke right? *2024-10-05, version 1.3* You expect $10 per WEEK for the use of this? LMAO Get lost. ### 1/5 — I want refund *2024-09-21* I’m disabled you charge me before free trail an remote still didn’t work i cancelled same day right after download it please fix this issue and remove the charge I low income mom ### 1/5 — Immediately charged me 5.99 instead of a free trial *2024-09-05* As soon as I accepted the terms and conditions, assuming I would get a free trial, I was immediately charged 5.99 and the app isn’t even compatible with my TV. I want a refund. ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2024-09-01, version 1.3* Can’t use a use features without paying over £300 a year. I’ll stick to my TVs remote thanks. Would give 0 stars if possible. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2024-08-03* Must pay weekly! For volume and to change channels. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Subscription *2025-10-08* Ready to pay weekly to turn on the tv? Why use your video game console or other remotes lying around the house when you could pay for this app! You download the app and then “something goes wrong” if you don’t instantly pay a fee. Amazing ### 1/5 — Malísima *2025-09-26* No deja ni conectar el control así tenga la misma red wifi perdí mi tiempo, no la descarguen ### 1/5 — $5.99 *2025-09-25* No thank you too expensive & when downloading never mentions price. ### 1/5 — Not for you!!! *2025-09-12* This app is trash!!! it forces you to pay $5.99 a week just for you to not be able to use the functions on your TV and still have to watch ads! I do not recommend this app to no one and I hope you do not. I hope you do not add this for a trial! They have been taking money out of my account without me annoying because I did not read the fine print! So I am helping someone that that reads reviews to stop before you get exhausted like me ### 1/5 — It took my money with no option for cancellation even thought it clearly stated that in the bio. *2025-09-04* It took my money and won’t give me a refund it disappeared even have an option to cancel the subscription. ### 1/5 — Can’t replace the physical remote *2025-08-16* The physical remote died while connecting to a new network. The app is useless if the tv is not already connected. ### 1/5 — $6 per week to use *2025-08-14* No thanks! I’ll buy a replacement for $10! ### 1/5 — You're Kidding?? *2025-07-18, version 1.4* What the??? You expect us to pay $10 per week for ever for a remote control app? Are you serious? So if I keep the tv & remote for 3 years, I would spend $1500 on the remote which is more than the tv. Let me guess, your mantra is one born every minute. ### 1/5 — Worst remote app *2025-06-26, version 1.4* Keeps disconnecting ### 1/5 — Connection failure *2025-06-12, version 1.4* No matter what I touch on the remote control it takes me to settings. Access to local network is enabled. Click add device and back to settings no option to add tv as on the screen shots. Happy to change rattling if I get it to work.
