LG



It's the same with LG TVs. The remote app on iOS for my 2018 LG OLED TV does not launch without granting it location access. I don't understand why a TV remote app would ever need location access?


Don't bring up a BLE packet sniffer around a LG soundbar, it's spamming about 10 UUID packets per second. Pretty annoying.


I thought apple didn't allow that.


Yesterday, the app refused to even start up until I updated it to the latest version.


That's really disappointing as LG has been my go to brand for many of my appliance purchases including a washer and dryer a few years ago.


Do you HAVE to use the app to use the machine though? Can you just not enable wifi on itand use it like a dumb washer?


The washer absolutely works without the app.

The app provides some benefits, but they're not required.
