Transform your LG smartphone into a functioning remote control for your LG model television set

An Overview of LG TV Remote for Android

A lot of people misplace their phones, but typically find them. A lot of people who have misplaced their television remote controls have still never found them. Some people have lost remotes from back in the CRT-model days of square television. The obvious answer: Turn your smartphone into a television remote, with the LG TV Remote for Android app.

This is an official app from LG Electronics Inc, so you know it's going to work for any LG model television. It doesn't have to be a smart TV, even though the app has the most functionality with those particular newer models. The app is also available for iOS mobile devices, though that would be a different download.

The Features of LG TV Remote for Android

In terms of features, there's really not a whole lot to speak about. Basically, the LG TV Remote for Android app just turns your phone into a remote control. To that end, you're going to see a remote layout on your screen, featuring channel, volume and numbered buttons, as well as home, menu, exit, return, etc. It's literally just a remote.

So it's very simplistic in its feature set. The only thing to be aware of here is that the ads might pop up and interrupt your experience as you're trying to control your television functions. That can get quite annoying, if you're not ready to click those things off.
