Multiple tvs and now I bought a new tv and can’t sign into my account. It’s always hard to find or can’t access. I can’t use the remote on my phone because of this or access any tvs from my phone. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2026-10-24, version 5.4.0* Wow isn't this intriguing. I buy a tv forced to use an app. Take up space and storage in my phone all so this damn app doesn't work it never works What does one need to do to be able to use the remote on the app to work !!!! I requested support AI was forced on me I requested a human and the support system disabled my support function because I asked for help from a human and not a bot. This app never works ever. It could never link to my WiFi but somehow I am able to turn my tv on. ### 1/5 — Try not to use if you can *2026-10-23, version 5.4.0* Most of the time the remote doesn’t connect to the tv ### 1/5 — YOU AND WALMART+ ARE ENDLESSLY MESSING WITH MY ACCOUNTS!?! *2026-10-23, version 5.3.0* -490% ### 1/5 — THE WORST APP *2026-10-21, version 5.3.0* WHY DONT IT HAVE LG SUPPORT?!?!?!!?
