### 4/5 — Widget funktioniert nicht unter ios 18

*2025-04-21*

Nach ios update auf ios 18 funktioniert das widget nicht mehr. Bitte um update der app damit dies wieder funktioniert sonst sehr zufrieden bis jetzt… seid oktober immer noch kein update damit das Widget funktioniert schade muss wohl nach einer alternative suchen. Fand die app bis dato wo das widget noch funktionierte, super

### 2/5 — Almost there but too far

*2024-10-30, version 2.1.1*

This is the ONLY app that works with iPhone, iPad and (a native app for) MacOS so from that perspective it’s amazing. Where it falls short is support. Wish it could support Apple TVs and Google TVs. As it stands, it dosent support so many devices that is dives into the realm of unusable.

### 3/5 — Widget does not work with iOS 18

Please update this app for iPhone widget. 😢

### 1/5 — Broken?

*2023-11-24*

Used to be great, haven’t used it for some time, now it doesn’t work anymore… it finds my LG TV and connects to it but I can’t push any buttons. Really disappointed :/

**Developer response:** The implementation hasn’t changed… isn’t it a network issue?

### 4/5 — Nice app with some rough edges

*2023-07-16, version 2.1.1*

This app works great for my TCL Roku TV. I ran into a few minor issues, but the app still does everything I need it to.

The app didn't auto-detect my TV, but that could be an issue with my network setup. I was able to add it manually using the IP address. I found my TCL Roku TV's IP address by going into Settings > Network > About.

Another issue was with the status menu remote. I use light mode (I know, I know...) and the icons on the buttons are white, and the menu background is light grey - so it makes it really hard to see the icons. I think it would look best if the icons and text were black. If I switch to light mode then everything looks great.

The only other feedback I have is regarding the area under the remote buttons. I wish you could have it show favorite channels AND favorite apps. It seems like the only option now is to have it show favorite channels OR all apps.

### 2/5 — Не работает

*2023-01-29*

Не работает на LG C2. Кнопки управления заблокированы

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2023-01-26, version 2.1.1*

I’m missing button for outputs (live tv & HDMI) for 2022 LG 65NANO80 ThinQ webOS TV. Thank you

### 5/5 — Auch kostenlos super nutzbar

*2022-10-20*

Die App ist ohne große Umwege sofort aktiv nutzbar. Mein 10 Jahre alter Panasonic Viera TV wurde tatsächlich sofort erkannt und alles was ich möchte funktioniert damit. Auch die 3D Funktion lässt sich aktivieren.

Das einzige was ich vermisse, wäre eine Widget-Funktion, (---> darum 1 Stern abzug) aber dafür lässt sich der TV über die Statusbar ebenfalls verstellen! 

Volle Sternezahl gebe ich darum trotzdem, da der Entwickler die Pro-Funktion für jeden bezahlbar gemacht hat und außerdem auf ein Abo verzichtete! 

Ich empfehle die App darum sehr!

### 5/5 — супер

### 5/5 — Best TV remote app!

*2026-03-12*

It’s the best remote app I’ve found for my LG tv. And one of the only ones with a working watch app!

### 5/5 — Best TV app for LG

*2024-11-13, version 2.1.1*

Love this app for my LG TV.

### 5/5 — Все супер, но

*2024-05-01*

Все хорошо, но приложение не обновлялось год к слову в Кodi нет поддержки русской кириллицы, когда я делаю голосовой поиск или просто печатаю, в Kodi вместо текста квадраты, в отличии от официального пульта, но главное отличие от официаки, тут удобный виджет на экране блокировки, за что вам жирный лайк , исправьте ситуацию с вводом текста на русский. Купил полную версию, удачи вам.

### 5/5 — Best TV Remote app on the App Store!

*2024-04-15*

This is seriously great and amazing. No ads, no invasive pop up’s begging for premium subscription, simple customizable UI, it has everything you want, that no other TV remote app has!!! 5 stars!!!

### 5/5 — )

Работает . Телевизор Philips . И нет назойливой рекламы . Вообщем супер приложение

### 5/5 — Stopped working on LG recently (10/23)

*2023-10-19, version 2.1.1*

Used this for years, but something about a recent LGos update seems to have broken it. Sees TV and connects but nothing works.

### 5/5 — Перестало работать (

*2023-10-16*

После послденего обновленя WebOS не видит приложение TV

### 5/5 — Best for my LG tv

*2023-03-25*

I tried a lot of remote apps, even the native LG tv app and this works even better then it. The best part is the Apple Watch functionality. It works almost flawlessly and more consistently to control my LG tv using my Apple Watch then any other application I’ve used. Only downside is I cannot turn on the tv from the app but that’s fine, a small price to pay for an amazing app. You don’t have to pay for the pro to enjoy using the Apple Watch as a remote or any remote features but I paid anyways for the pro version to support the developer. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2023-02-10, version 2.1.1*

The Apple Watch and Mac apps are extremely useful

### 5/5 — Upate has made this near perfect

*2023-02-08, version 2.1.1*

A recent update fixed my issues, it now works while full screen! It's still a bit hard to use on light mode (white text on white background) but it works now! Thanks to the devs
