Remote for LG ThinG TV & webOS

Control your LG ThinQ and webOS TV with speed and precision

Remote for LG ThinG TV & webOS turns your phone or tablet into a full-featured controller for almost any recent LG Smart TV, and it does so with an emphasis on speed and stability. If you constantly misplace your physical remote or its buttons are wearing out, this app offers a convincing replacement.

Once your LG TV and device share the same Wi-Fi network, the app quickly discovers compatible sets, including webOS, AI ThinQ, OLED, and many Netcast models from 2012 onwards. The on-screen layout mirrors a traditional LG remote, so you can adjust volume, switch inputs, or navigate menus without a learning curve. Response times are generally snappy, with minimal delay between taps and on-screen action.

One of the highlights is the built-in keyboard, which makes typing search queries, passwords, and app logins dramatically easier than using the TV’s directional pad. Quick-access shortcuts to favorite channels and streaming apps further reduce the number of steps needed to reach what you watch most.

The app also offers screen mirroring, letting you project photos, videos, or presentations from your handset to the big screen. While performance here depends on your network quality, it is a welcome bonus that expands the remote beyond simple button presses.

There are a few caveats. The requirement for a shared Wi-Fi network means it will not help if your TV is offline, and power-on functionality can still depend on your TV’s settings and network standby features. Still, for everyday control, Remote for LG ThinG TV & webOS is a polished, eco-friendly alternative to juggling batteries and hunting under the couch for your original remote.
