LG Remote Customer Insights

1. LOLI think this is so useful if you lose your physical remote but the problem is that you have to keep connecting to you TV because it will disconnect and sometimes it will stop connecting but otherwise this app is amazingUnderwhelmed!, the remote does function, but with ads and 30 sec video ads popping up all the time,, its pretty much pointless.

2. Are you absolutely kidding me? You've locked features behind a paywall? LG SMART TVs already use outdated systems to make readily available apps installable, casting has been available since 2013 at the very least, and instead of making it easily available for some apps you've locked it behind your own remote with a paywall.

3. A monthly subscription for a remote controller? or a one off payment equivalent to what you would pay for some huge game franchises???? I know developers have to make money, but this seems way overpriced.

4. Unlike my Roku TV and app, you can NOT turn the power on with this remote as it can not connect to a TV that is off.

5. This is deceitful and I'm reporting this appContinously disconnects, ads pop up while you're trying to use the remote to find a show.

6. You only have so many button presses before the ads takeover, so you end up having to watch a video ad to complete the function.

7. Very annoying, looking for recommendations for a better LG remote?I do think it's really good.

8. I have tried to pay for it for a couple of weeks thinking that it will connect to my tv right away but it still disconnect EVERYTIME!If I could give this less than one star I would.

9. Takes stupid amounts of time to get anything done because every few clicks it suddenly pulls an ad that if you aren't quick enough sends you out of app.

10. It's usefulI love my remote.

11. Which can all be undone when an ad pops up, and you hit the strategically placed X button that also is right over the TV power button.
