User Reviews for Smartify - LG TV Remote

Needs Improvement

It’s so handy when you need it most and it decides to finally work without giving you problems. The ads are so annoying after each button you click though. Sometimes it won’t connect to the TV at all. All the other TVs in the house will pop up in the list besides the ONE TV your actually trying to use it for. The app is bipolar, it works when it wants to. Definitely needs lots of improvement

Works perfectly

Installed and tested on the free version and it worked fine. Purchased the upgrade and it seemed as if I was stuck on the screen with the the least functionality (the screen with home button, fast forward, rewind, and the four colored buttons). I then realized that at the bottom of that screen (kinda looks dark grey) works like a mouse pad and I could see a cursor moving on my tv screen. Each time I swiped to get back to the other screens, keypad and volume controls it wouldn’t work because I was swiping in this pad area. So I swiped at the top of the page just above the function keys and it worked perfect. Once you figure out that little glitch the remote is awesome. Hope this helps out others.

Not giving you guys more money

So loved this app at the beginning, not quite sure exactly what I paid when they offered the “full access” this was prior to the “pro” but anyway I made my purchase, ignored the constant glitching and having to relaunch the app anytime I put my phone down (really annoying but ok) so anyway I was fine for months then I just noticed that now since there is another “upgrade” my original purchase now comes with ads. And I mean 5-10 seconds of trying to use the frickin slow, glitching app almost to what I need to select and there it is the dam ad... honestly I made my purchase why is it that now that there is a “pro” I have to pay again or at least leave my version alone that there isn’t any pop ups or ads when I made my original purchase!

LG remote app

This remote is very good, but still fails in key areas. If I use this app and close out of it, I can’t come back to my remote if I want to change the channel or or turn the volume up for example. I have to delete this app from my iPhone’s background process, and then go back into it in order to have functionality. It’s so annoying. LG recently updated the app and yet, it’s the same business. Also, the home button control button is on a separate page from the most used control like volume and so I have to go back and forth on different pages to get the buttons I want. Thanks also super annoying. The magic remote set the bar to high LG. Please fix this app.

Contradictory

I got this app because my dog ate my remote. It was useful- when the TV was already on. It takes forever to load. When it does load and I use the remote how I please, then my phone off and back on, it has to load all over again! And when the TV is off, there is no way to turn it on because it won’t connect with the TV when it’s off! How is this app supposed to work when you still need the help of the remote to turn the tv on for you?! It’s so contradictory! The app works fine when I’m using it when the tv is on but only when it’s already on. Please fix this.

Could be better if....

At first I couldn’t get my iPhone to connect. I was connecting to the same router, but it turned out that it wasn’t the same broadcasting channel. My router broadcasts in 2 bands. That may be what the other people that couldn’t connect were experiencing. Haven’t tried connecting with the TV hard wired to the router. Once connected it works fine except.....I want to know how much Final Fantasy is paying these guys to throw their ad up in your face every 60 seconds. For the app to be useful, you must buy it. At least let us use it enough so we can decide whether we like it or not. I do know that I don’t want Final Fantasy.

It’s a good app could be better

I got this app because my own remote wasn’t working at first I’d give it 5 stars and for awhile it was doing great until recently it would take so long for the remote to connect to my tv and wouldn’t connect at all I know people would say well it’s probably your wifi but that’s not the issue In this situation my wifi is fine so I got kinda upset and found 6 more apps just like it and they all don’t work but now the remote will connect sometimes and half the time I have to delete it and re download it it’s just I’m amazed how it won’t connect like when I connect my Ps5 to my wifi is says I have a strong connection but still won’t connect

So many ads 👺

Nice remote…but this app is riddled with ads. The app connects to my LG Smart TV well but sometimes after I press a button an ad pops up, and I have to wait a while for the ad to end so I can continue to use the remote. It becomes irritating 👺after a while and I can’t really browse as quick🏃🏾‍♀️💨as I want to. However, it’s not really that big of a problem for me but for others it might be. Just a heads up for ya 💃🏾🕴🏾Also, I refuse to pay $20 a year for the ✨premium✨ version of this app, since I’m using this as a backup remote. But, again, this is just my overall view of this app, the basic features work well though 🙂. It’ll have to do 🥲.

Could be great, just falls short

Downloaded this app after my two kids managed to make our old tv remote completely disappear from he face of the earth. Was hoping to not have to buy an expensive replace or a cheap universal one but found this smart app. The connectivity of it asked like a nice feature and for what it’s worth the first time I opened it seemed to work fine. Used it for an evening and got quickly tired of the ads so paid for the full app. Literally the next day it started giving me a ton of trouble, random crashing in the app, 15 mins to connect to the tv while it’s syncing on starts, and the most common error is it will “successfully connect” and not show any of the remote interfaces like it can’t load them. Tried updating and reinstalling with same results. Essentially now if i open the app, I can expect to have to restart that app 5-6 times during use. Another fun thing is if it’s connected, and you are watching something but just leave the app open and put your phone to sleep, when you need to use it and turn it back on it does just go back to working. Cycle sync icon for 2-3 mins and then crash. It’s basically now something I spent money on that will sit useless in a folder on my phone. I’m giving it two stars because I saw it working well at start and would love if it was consistent. Guess who’s just buying a universal from Walmart now?

Kinda works, lots of ads, have to pay..

Downloaded this app because our tv remote got packed into a box (and thrown in storage) when we were moving. It kinda works, but you have to swipe between the first 2 screens and use different buttons to play/pause (in free version, didn’t waste my money on paid because I can’t imagine it was better) the last screen was only able to be used if you paid. There are a CRAZY amount of ads. If you accidentally turned the tv up too loud you’re screwed cause you have to wait 30 secs for the ad that auto started out of nowhere to finish.I legiterally (legit/literally) deleted this app as soon as I was able to find my actual remote.
