I am learning it by ear! 👂. If you would let me out of this review I would try to learn a little bit more. Give me more time to read your remarks because my vision is poor. ### 1/5 — Nags to upgrade to paid all the time *2026-07-20, version 2.2.41* Any option seems to prompt you to get the premium version ### 5/5 — Bueno *2026-07-20, version 2.2.41* Es algo que es muy indispensable ### 1/5 — Don’t! *2026-07-17, version 2.2.41* Once you get the app, to get somewhere, you have to click on it about five times because it keeps bringing you to a page that wants you to get a subscription, super annoying.. ### 4/5 — Works *2026-07-13, version 2.2.39* Great for when I lose my remote ### 1/5 — App *2026-07-13, version 2.2.39* It will not connect to my lg app. All network connections are connected ### 5/5 — Bdhehh red u ed ur *2026-07-11* Ensure Skss as k re ### 5/5 — Magic remote from LG *2026-07-05, version 2.2.39* Highly recommend! Easy to use -Access to different type of remote, it’s really worth the money. ### 5/5 — Quick Install *2026-07-05, version 2.2.38* Easy to use for multiple tv Sets ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — STOP PUSHING SUBSCRIPTION *2026-08-31, version 2.2.42* Having a subscription notification after every attempt to use the app is redundant and a turn off. It gives the opposite intended effect. ### 1/5 — Too many pop up ads *2026-08-23, version 2.2.42* Why does the ad for a REMOTE subscription keep popping up every other time I click a button?! Heaven forbid I need to raise or lower the volume ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-20, version 2.2.41* Exactly what I said, it doesn’t work. It won’t even locate my LG TV. I did finally find one that works good but it definitely wasn’t this one. ### 1/5 — Terrible Scam *2026-08-16, version 2.2.41* Downloaded this app to try and pair with my TV. Immediately spammed a yearly subscription across screen, causing apple pay to scan my face and purchase a $26 subscription I did not want or consent to. App is essentially useless. I would recommend staying away from this one… ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE!!! *2026-08-14, version 2.2.41* If you are seeking a method to become increasingly irritated by the persistent advertisement of their $20 subscription that appears every time you tap on the screen before utilizing your purported remote control, this solution is ideal for you. Good Luck! ### 1/5 — Costs money to use the app. *2026-08-10, version 2.2.41* Shouldn’t have to pay to use the remote. Vizio has an app that is free. ### 1/5 — Too complicated *2026-08-10, version 2.2.41* Couldn’t get it to work or follow the directions. ### 1/5 — 30$ or useless *2026-08-09, version 2.2.41* 29$ subscription just to get any use out of it… if you don’t your limited on what remotes you can use so you use and even after that every time you press any button (half the time it doesn’t register) you get a pop up showing the subscription at 30$ trying to trick people into buying it accidentally ### 1/5 — Stupid Subscription *2026-08-05, version 2.2.41* Our remote broke so we're using the app for now, It constantly throws the subscription in your face when you're trying to use the remote. My family & I have to click where we wanna click really fast before the Subscription pops up and blocks you from using the remote again unless you click out the app & start again. ### 1/5 — Is it free or not? *2026-07-23, version 2.2.41* Is this remote free? If yes why do I keep getting this pop up for a free trial. Deleted this ASAP. My Norton keeps flagging it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Living Room *2026-09-01, version 2.2.42* LG ### 5/5 — Great remote *2026-09-01, version 2.2.43* Easy to use and reliable! ✌️😊😇 ### 5/5 — L *2026-08-23, version 2.2.42* Hh ### 5/5 — Best Lg Remote *2026-08-22* Hamdan ### 5/5 — LG remote. *2026-08-20, version 2.2.42* The primary button, which controls most on the remote, has caved in and is longer functioning.
