### 2/5 — It works

*2026-07-22*

It works but I constantly. Have to reinstall it for it to keep working. And the voice command feature doesn’t work at all

### 2/5 — Premium

*2026-05-31, version 1.4.1*

Not sure why you want to charge me for something I get on my actual remote.???

### 2/5 — app makes actual remote work slower

*2026-04-14, version 1.4.1*

once this app was activated the actual remote started lagging…

### 4/5 — Power on

*2026-04-06*

I truly do not like how you can't power it on from your phone other than that it's great

### 4/5 — Download the app!!

*2026-04-01*

Actually it is easy to connect and it is the best thing instead of LG remote i recommend everyone who uses LG tv to use this program but anyway i have a point which is some times it suddenly stop workin well and after 40 seconds it make the thing i want.

### 2/5 — Why pay for volume

*2026-02-07*

When I first downloaded this app, let me change the volume, but I’ve had it for like a couple weeks now and now I have to pay to turn up the volume and I turned off the TV with this remote and I lost my other remote and I couldn’t turn my TV back on but other than that, it works fine

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2026-02-01, version 1.2.11*

Doesn’t work at all - demanding a full refund after 1 day!!

### 1/5 — Buy a tv and have to pay for the remote app

*2026-01-31, version 1.2.11*

Roku tv remote app works fantastic with my other Roku tvs and is free! Bought an LG tv and now in order to use this app it wants me to pay for a yearly or monthly subscription

### 1/5 — LG Sucks!!

*2026-01-24, version 1.2.11*

For no reason TV stopped connecting to app. Tried everything and nothing works. And customer service, please. You are customer service.

### 1/5 — frustrating

*2026-07-13, version 1.4.1*

need to reboot the app after every few minuetes that it’s idle 

refresh doesn’t help
even when connected it mostly doesn’t work until closed down  opened up & re connected 

it’s better than nothing but annoying

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2026-06-27, version 1.4.1*

I tried connecting it to my tv and it can’t find it (never downloaded

### 1/5 — Don’t ask all the time for a review !!!

*2026-06-25, version 1.4.1*

No more review please!!!!!

### 1/5 — .

*2026-05-03, version 1.4.1*

Should be free. Why keep paying for a remote over and over and over again. Barely even lets me turn up volume basics aren’t worth it to keep using.

### 1/5 — This is a joke

*2026-04-17, version 1.4.1*

So you want $10 a year for what?  Like everyone else you put out a totally useless app, and want $10 a year for it. Get real.

### 1/5 — Deceiving

*2026-04-05, version 1.4.1*

There is “LG ThinQ” that is free. This one only works for a short period before you have to pay for functions like volume to work. This one is a scam.

### 1/5 — Cancelling Subscription is Hard

*2026-04-01, version 1.4.1*

I tried to cancel the subscription as i didnt use the app but its only draining and charging my card repeatedly

### 1/5 — Worst tv remote app

*2026-03-29*

My controller somehow broke in half. I was happy to find this remote. However it is super disappointing because the ap has a hard time connecting to my tv. I spend a lot of time fighting it. Turning the tv off and on manually. Hard closing the ap. It is so not worth it. I have both Roku and google tv which neither ever have this issue. Time to trash this lg tv and upgrade to a Roku or google tv. Also why would anyone want to pay for a in ap remote when both google and Rokus are free? Buyer beware.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-02-16, version 1.2.12*

This app is useless unless you pay a subscription a absolute joke.

### 1/5 — Super frustrated

*2026-02-03*

Toddler lost our actual remote so I found this app to navigate our television. One night it refused to work unless I paid for a subscription. I paid the $30 and bought the “lifetime” package. Next day, same thing happened- I was unable to use the app unless I purchased a subscription. Super frustrating. Tried emailing company via the “contact us” link… no response. Emailed a SECOND time… still waiting for a response. 
Feels like a scam even though it looks like it’s endorsed by LG.
