Enjoy the show on your big screen with the no#1 web video streamer.\n\nWith Video & TV Cast for LG Smart TV you can browse the web and stream any web video, online movie, livestream or live TV show you want on your LG Smart TV. Mp4, m3u8, hls livestreams and also video-over-https are supported.\n \nThere is no time limit at all! You can watch videos of 2 minutes or 2 hours or even more. Just open Video & TV Cast, navigate to a website and wait for the video link detection. The video link will appear below the browser. Tap it and the video will be sent to your big screen instantly! Streaming personal media from your device is also supported. You don't need to install a big media server like Plex or any other third party software.\n\n\n>>> Important Notes\n\n* To enable video casting, please open the LG App Store (LG Smart World / LG Content Store) on your TV, search for 'TV Cast' and install the companion app.\n\n* Please enter the IP address of your iPhone/iPad by using the number pad and up/down/left/right buttons on your TV Remote or scroll wheel on your Magic Remote. Just enter the numbers, no need to press the enter key.\n\n* iTunes movies and DRM-protected videos like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, DirecTV, Xfinity, HBO Now are not supported!\n\n* Please use the Remote Playbar for video control while browsing (see more info below).\n\n* The app streams only the video part of a website and not the whole website content (No screen or tab mirroring!). \n\n* Sometimes it is necessary to play the video on your iPad or iPhone first before it gets discovered by the app for streaming. It may also be neccessary to start casting multiple times until it works with specific videos.\n\n* If a specific video is not working, please check the FAQ on the app startpage. If that does not help you, please drop us an email before leaving a negative comment on the App Store. We will try to add support for that website as soon as possible.\n\n\n>>> UPGRADE FEATURES (available as in-app purchases)\n\n* Premium Edition: Unlocks all of the features listed here. Also future features are included, so you do not have to pay for them when they are released in an updated app version. \n\n* Remote Playbar: Use the Playbar for advanced video control while browsing, including video scrubbing, forward, rewind, play, pause, stop. The playbar works on all LG Smart TVs. \n\n* Local Videos: Cast your camera roll videos from an iPhone or iPad. Supports mp4, m4v and mov videos that were saved to the camera roll via Apples SD-Card/USB Adapter, iTunes Desktop Software or third party apps.\n\n* Ad-Blocker: Blocks ads & popups on most websites and removes the sponsoring ads from the app. You can update and enable/disable ad-blocking at any time in the settings. \n\n* Bookmarks: Save unlimited website bookmarks. Synchronize and transfer them between different TV Cast apps and iOS devices by using backup and restore via iCloud.\n\n* Desktop Mode: Change the browser user-agent and cloak your iPhone/iPad as a desktop PC to load the desktop website instead of the mobile website. Please note that this will NOT enable video casting on websites that serve Flash videos in desktop mode.\n\n* Change Homepage: Set your personal homepage in the settings.\n\n\nDisclaimer: This app is not affiliated with LG Electronics or any other trademark mentioned here.","facts":{"developer_id":477998014,"developer_url":"https://video-tv-cast.com/lg-smart-tv","first_released":"2016-06-02T16:04:24Z","support_url":null,"privacy_url":null,"website_url":null,"app_version":"3.8","release_notes":"- Bug fixes","rating_current_version":3.70386,"rating_count_current_version":23033,"star_counts":null,"genres":["Photo & Video","Entertainment"],"languages":["EN"],"content_advisories":["Unrestricted Web Access"],"device_families":null,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-10-22T06:54:12.659Z","catalog_read_at":null,"reviews_checked_at":"2026-10-17T10:08:13.401Z","summary_written_at":"2026-10-14T15:08:19.853Z","placed_at":"2026-10-14T13:34:19.780Z","scored_at":"2026-10-22T07:48:12.693Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Casts web videos, online movies, livestreams and personal media from an iPhone or iPad to an LG webOS Smart TV.","what_is":"TV Cast for LG webOS lets you browse the web on an iPhone or iPad and send detected video links, including MP4, m3u8, HLS livestreams and video over HTTPS, to an LG Smart TV with webOS.
