Get freedom from your phone’s obvious limitations. Use Remote for LG ThinG TV & webOS, made by BoostVision, a Tools app on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, and level up your experience.
This app basically turns a phone or tablet into a remote for LG TVs, letting people toss the actual remote somewhere and not care. It handles pretty much everything a normal remote does—power, volume, switching inputs, jumping between apps—so users don’t need to go digging in the couch cushions looking for the controller or messing with old batteries that never seem to last. The layout is simple and straight to the point, not a bunch of complicated menus or annoying pop-ups. There’s even a keyboard so typing in passwords or searching YouTube doesn’t mean clicking around forever.
Most LG TVs made after 2012 are supported, so just about any model sitting in a living room should work fine. The only real catch—both the TV and the mobile device have to be on the same Wi-Fi, which is reasonable for how these things go. What people seem to like most is how easy it is to get started: just open the app, tap a button, pick the TV from a list, and it connects. Once that’s done, everything’s good to go, no physical remote needed. There are also a couple bonus features like screen mirroring and casting photos or web videos directly to the TV, which works well for family stuff or showing off a quick video.
Playing with it on a PC using BlueStacks gives this remote a bit of a twist: it feels larger, and inputs are quick, so it’s easier to manage if someone likes to control the TV from their desk while working or gaming. The whole thing just feels convenient—it’s one less thing to keep track of, and all the basics are right there, making it a solid pick for anyone who’s tired of remote control headaches.
BlueStacks brings your apps to life on a bigger screen—seamless and straightforward.
