About this app

Turn your phone into the best remote control for your Netcast or WebOS LG Smart TV, and get a set of features that no other app has, even the official LG remotes. Control multiple TVs over WiFi and stop searching for the plastic remotes. Use the keyboard for easier text input, touchpad for navigation, etc. Just connect an SmartPhone and a TV to the same Wi-Fi network and you will be able to control the TV using a mobile device after a simple pairing routine.

Compatibility: the app supports all WebOS models of LG Smart TV as well as Netcast models of 2012 and later.

Some of the features that make this a better remote than your plastic remotes:
- CONTROL TVS from a single app
- JUMP TO ANY CHANNEL straight from the app, without having to scroll through channels on the TV
- JUMP TO ANY TV APP straight from the app
- CREATE CHANNEL SHORTCUTS on your homescreen. Do you want an ESPN shortcut on your phone's homescreen ? Now you can do that!
- CREATE APP SHORTCUTS on your home screen. Have a "Netflix" button straight on your phone's homescreen that launches it on your TV!
- MUTE ON CALL mute your TV when the phone rings
- Text input limitations: Text input is only available in the TV apps which support LG keyboard.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely sucks battery. But...1. The side menu is a mess, it needs making into two menu's, inputs and apps with the option to remove the ones that you don't use. 2. Having to reconnect every time you use it after the device has been closed is a pain. 3. Needs stop, play pause buttons to use with apps. 4. The price, c'mon subscription based....lol, outright purchase needs to be lower and you would sell lots. 5.Repeatedly having to press the volume, instead of press and hold. Tiresome

Immediately asked to leave a review before I could even pair the app with my tv. Once I paired it worked great except for the ads I got trying to control my tv. Press the home button to view available apps? Gotta close an ad first. Turn down the volume? Close another ad. Turn off your TV? Watch a video before confirming you want to turn off your television. This works in a pinch, but the instant I find my remote or buy a new one, this app is being removed. Which means tomorrow this trash is gone

Just installed this app because my dog chewed up my remote, and I'm already uninstalling it. I get that developers have ads to offset costs, but to have an ad pop up every time I press a button is overkill. I can't even see if I like the app enough to pay for it because the pop up adds killed it for me right out of the gate. Buying a new remote instead.
