We build the tools LG TV owners actually need.
LG Remote started with a simple frustration: the LG TV remote was never where you needed it. Somewhere between the couch cushions, in another room, or out of battery — it was always missing at the worst possible time.
We knew the solution wasn't buying another physical remote. It was building something better on the device you always have with you — your phone. So we set out to create the best LG TV remote app for iPhone: one that connects instantly, responds without lag, and gives you more control than a physical remote ever could.
LG Remote launched on the App Store in 2023 and has since grown to serve over 50,000 active users worldwide. We're a small, focused team of developers and designers who use LG TVs ourselves — which means we build features based on real everyday use, not theoretical feature lists.
The principles that guide how we build LG Remote.
A remote app that takes 10 seconds to connect is useless. LG Remote connects in under 3 seconds because that's what real-world use demands.
We don't try to control every device in your house. We're specialists in one thing: making the best possible remote experience for LG TVs.
LG Remote communicates directly between your phone and your TV over your local network. We don't collect personal data, track your viewing habits, or require account creation.
Our team has deep experience with the LG webOS platform. We understand the technical details of how LG smart TVs communicate over WiFi, how the webOS interface is structured, and what users need for efficient daily TV control.
This expertise shows in the details: our touchpad implementation closely mirrors the feel of the official LG Magic Remote, our app launcher knows which streaming services are available on each TV model, and our connection process is optimized specifically for the LG webOS discovery protocol.
We also maintain an active blog covering LG TV tips, troubleshooting guides, and setup instructions — sharing our knowledge to help LG TV owners get the most from their televisions, whether or not they use our app.
