Description
Screen share on LG TV from your iPhone or iPad with the best screen mirroring app. Easily enjoy series, videos, movies, sports or apps on your big TV. Try it today!
Application to mirror the screen of your iPhone or iPad to any LG Smart TV. No wires and no additional hardware needed! You can mirror any app on your iPhone or iPad to your LG TV.
This works on any LG Smart TV from the 2012 models onward.
In using the app, there will be a couple of seconds of latency (usually between 1 and 3). So this mirroring is not suitable for gaming.
However, it is very suitable for watching movies, giving presentations, watching photos, and much more!
How the app works:
1. Make sure that your iPhone or iPad is connected to the same local network as your LG TV. Don't use multiple VLANs, a VPN or subnets.
2. Launch the Mirror for LG TV app. It will start looking for your LG TV(s) on your local network. When a TV is found, please select it. When you use this app for the first time, depending on your model LG TV, the TV might ask you to "allow" the connection. In that case, take your TV Remote Control and press OK to allow the connection from your TV to your iPhone or iPad.
3. Turn on notifications for this app. We will not spam you, but we will use this to let you know if your TV is working correctly or not. So please, please allow it, otherwise when things don't work as they should, you are left in the dark.
4. Click on Start Mirroring to start mirroring on the TV that is currently selected. After that, you can just go to any other app on your iPhone or iPad and the mirroring just continues to run.
5. To stop mirroring, there are two options. (1) click on the red top bar that you will see on your iPhone or iPad. (2) Go to the Mirror for LG TV app and click on Stop Mirroring.
Limitations and known issues:
DRM
Some apps block Screen Mirroring. This means that application developers can choose themselves if they want to block Screen Mirroring. For instance, Netflix, Disney and AppleTV+ have decided to block this.
There is a simple test that you can do to see if the app that you want to mirror has blocked Screen Mirroring:
Open that particular app and slide up Control Center on your iPhone/iPad. Then, click on Screen Recording and start recording the screen to your Camera Roll. Watch the app that you want to mirror and at some point stop the screen recording. Then go to your Photos app and watch the video that was recorded. If the recorded video shows the app you want to mirror, it works fine. If the video is empty, then the app you want to mirror does not allow Screen Mirroring.
About Screen Recording and Privacy
Even though there are notifications about Screen Recording, we don't record your screen into files and we don't send any content to a server. We only temporarily store data in memory, before it is streamed to TV. Upon streaming, the content is removed from memory.

Ratings and Reviews
Mirroring App
UPDATE
I have used this app for other things and I believe i was rather too harsh i accept that it is a third party app that caused the delay but lots f other apps work really well and the best of it is they work first time so I have updated my review
This works ok but there is a noticeable delay which does not help when doing Zoom Meetings and i assume because of the delay that is the reason the sound down not transfer across as well. Update i realise that you can stream videos and photographs but the purpose of the app purchase was to stream family chats to our TV during our lockdown for which it does not work as well as expected, which is a pity as it does everything else quite well but it has more of a lag than the other mirroring app i was using initially
Developer Response ,
EDIT: Thanks for your update, we appreciate it! Happy Mirroring.

Hi, Zoom is blocking audio for screen mirroring because of some privacy reasons from there side, unfortunately there is nothing we can do about that. We do hear better results from our Mac app. However, you can use our app in many other ways, like sharing photos and videos with your family, friends or colleagues. We hope you can improve our star rating with this information.
What's the point of allowing free download if there isn't a free version?
As far as I can make out, while the app can be downloaded free of charge, apart from an ultra-short trial period, it does not seem to have a free version. In my opinion, that makes it useless. Not everyone is made of money and I already subscribe to Britbox and pay my TV licence fee. I cannot afford more TV-related expenditure. I would much rather have to pay for, say, 3 months to purchase the App from the App Store and then have to decide whether to subscribe. That way I would know either to pay or look for another truly free app. However, I do give the app two stars rather than one for two reasons, the first being that it seems to work very well and the other because it does offer a one-off lifetime licence. If I can get the money together and can't find a truly free app, I might buy the lifetime licence, but the fact remains that I am disappointed that I can't use the app for free with advertising providing income to the app developer.

Hi! Great news! Our app and all its features are free to use, however, the mirroring feature is limited to 5 minutes, for those who haven't purchased the app. When u decide to "Go Pro" this limitation will be lifted and you will be able to enjoy our unlimited mirroring experience!

LG mirror screening app
I bought this to improve mirror screening from my iPad. The default mirror screening in the iPad and iPhone is extremely tempermental and something that needs to be improved with the link between these devices and the tv. However the app works very well. There is a short lag between what is showing on the iPad screen and the tv but you get used to that. Also found that you can’t use FaceTime or Zoom properly as there is no sound on the tv. Again just a small annoyance .
