User Reviews

Users praise the Smart Remote for LG TVs as a convenient phone-based remote with wide range over Wi‑Fi, compatibility with older LG models, and features like a mouse pad and an ad-free, one‑time‑payment upgrade. However, recurring issues include unreliable connections to TVs, gating essential functions behind a payment model, missing the ability to power on the TV, and inconsistent navigation controls. Several reviews note performance has declined over time, with some calling it unreliable or not worth the cost. Overall, it’s a useful but finicky option with mixed value depending on expectations.
Pros
  • Convenient phone-based remote control over Wi‑Fi with broad range.
  • Works with older LG TVs (including 2013 models).
  • No ads and a one-time payment for full features (no ongoing subscriptions).
  • Mouse/trackpad navigation is a useful feature.
  • Saves on batteries and reduces the need for extra remotes.
Cons
  • Unreliable connectivity: frequent TV connection failures.
  • Core features are gated by payment; inconsistent monetization.
  • Cannot power on the TV from the app.
  • Free version is limited; navigation features often require paid upgrade.
  • Reliability appears to have declined over time.

This remote worked for years. And would’ve give it 5 stars. I even paid for the full access some time back. And now in the last two weeks nothing. It will not connect to my LG tv anymore. Which the only tv I’ve needed and used it for. So now it’s worthless to me. Someone please fix this!
