TL:DR Was good, now ads every time it's used. Made worthless by current ad implementation. Imagine being forced to watch a 20 second ad every time you pushed a button on your TV remote... app forces you to scan for devices every time you use another app. That scan incurs a 10-30 second ad before you can perform ANY action. Turn up the volume 1 click after responding to a text? 10-30 seconds of ads. Set the TV's IP manually? Nope. It still has to 'scan for device' so it can show you an ad.

This app was great for a very long time after I purchased the add free version, but suddenly and without any information at the app itself, I got back all the advertisements which make this app impossible to use. I would really like the developer comments on this regard because the app works great after you buy the add free version, but clearly they changed their mind and the app offers zero explanations.

Leave it a couple of mins and you have to go through the whole routine of waiting for a video to play , pressing " skip Video , " doesn't work " so you cant even change volume , mute or do anything without going through a painfully long routine EVERY TIME . Dont bother downloading it , waste of time , lots of other free apps do the same job without all the hassle .

Very good user friendly interface. A good replacement for my original remote which stopped working. I have tried most apps but this one is the best especially that it operate not only via WiFi but also ethernet connection.

Amazing!! I have been looking for ages to find a remote app but none of them worked until I got to this one and it worked!!! I only needed an app because we lost the actual remote and couldn't find it and the TV was 96 percent on volume and was too loud and now it is 49 percent volume so thank you for this amazing app!! 😊

Unlike many remote control apps, this one seems to actually work, surprised me when I tried to turn off my TV, only to find it actually did turn off lol, geez didn't expect that to happen. Yep this one works ok. Thanks devs

Okayish app I guess, but way too many ads. Every 5 taps gives me an ad. Its really annoying while I'm tapping the phone screen and looking at the TV, not realising an ad came up and it takes me to the app store. I've already uninstalled it and downloaded another app without ads.

No mouse pad for easy swiping and selection; has user friendly button setup though. Can't turn tv on, from standby. You have to physically press on/off button on TV set, for connection/detection to be made. Turn off TV from app, then you have to physically get up and turn TV on, for detection to reconnect. Also couldn't use app to confirm 1st time connection between TV and Phone. Had to use another LG app, to confirm connection. Paid to have no ads. Mediocre. Does the job. Nothing too exciting.

Functions just as advertised. In fact, you can even turn the tv off, which was not possible in the official app. Kinda saved my life after the official app was for whatever reason removed from google play..... The measly one star comes from the fact that a fullscreen ad appears every eight clicks. Horrible.

Every like 4-5 clicks there is an ad popping up on the entire screen. So if you are clicking the arrow through app options or channels you will inadvertently open an ad every few seconds and it is a hassle having to close what it opened, and go back to this app. Not worth it. I uninstalled it.
