Remote for LG TV

Control an LG TV from your phone

Remote for LG TV turns an Android phone into a remote for a compatible LG Smart TV. It suits people who would rather use their phone to control the television, provided the TV and phone can connect to the same home network. The TV can use Wi-Fi or Ethernet; the phone needs a network connection that can reach it.

Pairing and everyday use

When you first open the app, it searches the network for the television. To establish the connection, you enter the code shown on the TV. Once paired, you can use the phone to control the TV. The app’s usefulness depends on whether it can find and connect to your particular TV and network setup, so it may not suit every household.

If the television does not appear, check that it is switched on and connected to the same network as the phone. Network settings and TV compatibility can affect whether the remote works as expected.

Check the fit, not just the score

Remote for LG TV is published by AppAgency Labs and is listed in Video Players & Editors. It has a rating of 4.06 from about 82,800 ratings, with more than 10 million installs. Those figures show that many people have tried it, but they cannot tell you whether it will connect reliably in your home or feel comfortable to use. Your TV model, network and preference for phone-based controls matter more to that decision.

Not an LG product

This app is not an official LG product, and its developer is not affiliated with LG. If you prefer a remote made or supported by the TV manufacturer, this may not be the right choice. If you are comfortable using a third-party app and your LG Smart TV is discoverable on your network, it may be worth trying as an alternative to a physical remote.
