LG TV Plus can transform your Android phone into a fully functional remote control for your smart television.

With this installation, your mobile device can instantly synchronize with every LG TV it meets. In truth, LG TV Plus eliminates the need for an external remote control, because it can execute every standard function and do even more. All it takes to get linked is a simple Bluetooth connection.

The app features a built-in TV Guide that provides detailed live schedules to accompany your real-time viewing. In fact, it is outfitted with the recognizable My Starter interface that supplies essential information including programming recommendations, weather alerts and automatic timing functions.

Currently, LG TV Plus is intended for exclusive use with LG electronics. If you own appliances from other brands, a universal smart remote may be a better option to prevent switching between apps. The biggest downside of LG TV Plus is the inherent difficulty in simultaneously using basic mobile functions like texting and calling.

Still, it’s hard to top this software’s home screen, which showcases tabs for Live TV, Movies and Shows. The interface makes it easy to set up reminders, and the menu at the bottom provides direct access to the Launcher and TouchPad.
