### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-12-03, version 2.2.22*

Brand new lg tv and app can’t find it. Also price shows $.99 but I got charged $3.99. 🤬
Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-10-24, version 2.20.21*

Не покупайте данную программу: она не работает. 2 телевизора LG усилило, но не соединило. Постоянно выдает ошибку. Обратился в резолюшн центр. Там мне было отказано в претензии. Как это может быть я не знаю: программа не работает, а ты должен доказать почему она не работает. Готов приложить и фото и видео. Избигайте этой программы и продавца.

### 1/5 — The app shows the TV in the list but doesn’t connect to it

*2025-04-28, version 2.2.14*

I’m not sure how valid this app is. I paid for an app first time ever and I don’t see it working properly. Not sure if the issue is with the app or with my setup. The app does show the TV in the list so the connection should work, but it isn’t

### 1/5 — No funciona en televisores nuevos?

*2025-04-24, version 2.2.14*

Llevo usando esta app desde hace años en mi antiguo televisor LG pero con mi nuevo televisor no conecta. Espero lo puedan solucionar pronto, aunque parece que la app está abandonada desde hace años. Una pena por qué funcionaba muy bien.

### 2/5 — 20 Stars!

*2025-01-30, version 2.2.13*

This iOS program is by far the greatest for controlling an LG TV. Installation was easy, and you can’t beat the price! As a former programmer I can find nothing wrong with it!
