Samsung doesn’t make you pay for their app. Just think about that. ### 3/5 — This annoying *2026-02-09, version 2.0* I like it overall, very easy for when i dont want to use my remote. But like having to pay to use things i want to use like to project videos, are we serious? ### 1/5 — Blocks functions *2026-01-11, version 2.0* I get the ads being required if you’re not paying for it. But to not allow the keyword function after a while keeping it behind the paywall after you’ve already viewed adds is weak ### 1/5 — Развод *2026-01-07* После активации подписки и списании средств. В это гамно начинают заливать рекламу **Developer response:** Dear User, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. We understand your frustration regarding the ads after subscribing.

Does not work! ### 3/5 — Unable to Cast music *2025-12-17, version 2.0* Even though there is a music tab, and I have music downloaded on my iPhone, it’s says “only content stored on this device is support”. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-12-15, version 2.0* Not good! Couldn’t get app I have. Zzz ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2025-12-10, version 2.0* Waste of Money ### 1/5 — Just Awful *2025-12-08, version 2.0* The POS never stay synced. ### 2/5 — Tries to frustrate *2025-11-15, version 2.0* Works but brings up ads nearly every touch of a button unless you purchase premium. ### 1/5 — App inútil *2025-11-03, version 2.0* Um lixo de app ### 1/5 — Basura *2025-10-29, version 2.0* No vale para casi nada, solo si no tienes tu mando a distancia convencional y además repleto de anuncios ### 1/5 — Si vous aimez les pubs *2025-10-28* On passe plus de temps sur les pubs qui durent longtemps que sur les réglages. À moins de payer elle est inutilisable. C est mon dernier téléviseur LG car une applis payante est honteux pour moi. ### 1/5 — Дно! *2025-10-27* Lg место на свалке! Телик купи, подписки на смарте купи, даже (…) пульт на телефон купи! Я в магазин за теликом на андройде!

The developer doesn’t update it and buying a subscription is theft. *2026-07-28, version 2.0* Download TVRem for Free it’s better ### 1/5 — Mostly non functional *2026-06-30, version 2.0* Remote part only works for basics, volume and power. I couldn’t get any of the other features to work. I mainly got the app to play family videos on the tv but it would only play the first 20 seconds and then kick me out. Not worth your time unless all you need is those three buttons ### 1/5 — No free use ability *2026-06-21, version 2.0* After using the app to make about 5 controls, the app pushes you to go premium for $4/mo. outrageous that the developers even have the courage to make a app like this ### 1/5 — ADS *2026-06-14, version 2.0* Way too many ads, you can hardly use the remote without a AD popping up every 2 seconds. You practically have to pay to use the app. ### 1/5 — Can’t do any apps and is very difficult to use *2026-05-22, version 2.0* Poor ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-12, version 2.0* Keeps lagging and buffering.
