Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Turn your phone into the best remote control for your Netcast or WebOS LG Smart TV, and get a set of features that no other app has, even the official LG remotes. Control multiple TVs over WiFi and stop searching for the plastic remotes. Use keyboard for easier text input, touchpad for navigation, etc. Some of the features that make this a better remote than your plastic remotes: - from a single app - nobody hates full-screen ads more than us - to control your TV from any app or even lockscreen - straight from the app, without having to scroll through channels on the TV - straight from the app - on your homescreen. Do you want an ESPN shortcut on your phone's homescreen ? Now you can do that! - on your home screen. Have a "Netflix" button straight on your phone's homescreen that launches it on your TV! - mute your TV when the phone rings
