### 2/5 — What happened

*2026-04-26, version 1.5.1*

This remote worked for years. And would’ve give it 5 stars. I even paid for the full access some time back. And now in the last two weeks nothing. It will not connect to my LG tv anymore. Which the only tv I’ve needed and used it for. So now it’s worthless to me. Someone please fix this!

### 1/5 — Don’t bother downloading

*2026-04-22, version 1.5.1*

It only lets you turn on or off if you want the ok button you’ll have to pay

### 3/5 — Remote for Lg TV

*2026-03-09*

Gute App , leider zuviel unter-Kategorien , hätte gerne Funktionen die sofort erreichbar sind, ohne Swipen der TV App Teil könnte dafür 
mehr in Hintergrund, und mein LG 55LA9659 lässt sich mit der App nicht einschalten, schade , für den Preis hätte ich gerne Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten welche Fernbedienungs-Set per Knopf sofort erreichbar ist. gut, dass die App auch auf dem iPad funktioniert neben der iPhone App für den gleichen Preis.
