Ratings and reviews

Works, until the screen refresh popup appears, then none of the buttons (left, right, up, down, ok) work. You cannot disable the popup with this app, you have to go get the proper remote to suspend the screen refresh, which is very annoying if you're disabled and only have 30 seconds to get across the room, find the remote and suspend the update. PLEASE FIX IT!

Useless. Used to be good to use with my 65OLED807/12 but the app hasn't been able to find the TV for months now, even with inserting the manual IP and multiple reinstalls, nothing is found. The TV's UI and system were already hideous, and now it's even worse without being able to substitute the terrible controller with this app. Spent well over a grand for a system and controller resembling a £100 setup. The only good thing is the display and lightsGo LG instead! the lights just ain't worth it.

One of the main things this app would be useful for, would be reordering and favouriting TV channels as this is a tedious process using the IR remote. Unfortunately with my 77OLED810 not only is it incapable of reordering the satellite stations without messing up the order of the other channels every drag but it can't even manage to select the channel to view it.
