LG ThinQ review
A free appliance-management app with voice control through compatible assistant services.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
LG ThinQ is LG Electronics’ connected-home app for monitoring and controlling compatible LG appliances. It is intended for LG appliance owners who want to check device status, adjust supported settings remotely, and receive notifications from a mobile device. The app is available on iOS and Android, and its core role is appliance management rather than general-purpose voice assistance.
The app’s main value is bringing supported connected appliances into one place. Owners can monitor appliances, receive status notifications, and remotely change settings that their model supports. Voice control is available through compatible voice-assistant services, so ThinQ can link appliance control to a voice ecosystem rather than acting as the voice assistant itself. Compatibility depends on the appliance model and connected service, making model fit an important consideration before relying on particular controls.
ThinQ is free, according to its pricing model, and the published details describe a mobile app with cloud deployment. Its fit is strongest for households already using compatible LG appliances and seeking remote visibility or voice-linked control without a separate appliance-management workflow. It is less suitable for buyers looking for a standalone AI voice assistant or broad smart-home control independent of LG appliances. Features, voice-service compatibility, and availability vary by model and region, so capabilities are tied to the specific appliances and services in use.
