Smart TV is a must-buy device for users who are looking for a new TV and that’s not without reason. When compared to regular TVs, smart TVs are much smarter because they are equipped with support for several applications, especially for streaming content such as movies and TV series.
One of the best smart TV brands is LG which runs WebOS as the main operating system. Even though it’s not the same as Android TV, WebOS still has many recommended applications for download. Here’s the list.
1. Spotify
The first is that which is often and must be installed on smart TV, namely the song streaming application. One of the most popular and widely used by people is none other than Spotify, which has hundreds of millions of songs to listen to. Spotify on a smart TV is not much different from that on a cellphone or PC, where users can listen to their favorite songs both free and paid for with a monthly subscription. Apart from Spotify, several song streaming applications available on LG smart TVs are Pandora and Sirius XM.
2. Movies Anywhere

Nowadays, there are so many movie streaming services available and of course it’s not very effective to keep switching from one service to another when you want to watch your favorite movie. Luckily, LG smart TVs have an application called Movies Anywhere that can collect all movies or TV series from all streaming services into one so they can be accessed more easily. The application is free and users can even get information regarding promos from supported streaming services.

When using a smart TV, users do not have to maintain cable TV services and are instead recommended to switch to TV applications that are easier to use. The application store on smart TV, namely the Content Store, does have many interesting TV applications, but YouTube TV still holds the best. Even though the subscription fee is expensive, this application offers more than 85 channels and several premium bundle options. Apart from YouTube TV, Sling TV and Hulu TV are also recommended.

Just like song streaming services, smart TVs must also have the best movie streaming services installed. Of the many movie streaming services currently available, Netflix is at the top. Not without reason, Netflix is very popular and has lots of quality movies and TV series, especially original ones. Apart from that, the cost of a Netflix subscription per month is also affordable, if you look at the complete content offered. This app is highly recommended and must be installed on LG smart TVs.
5. Plex
At first glance, Plex looks like an ordinary movie streaming service where this application packs movies and TV series of various genres. However, Plex has the big difference that it can be used for free. This application combines a variety of free content with the ability to connect to other movie streaming services so that it can be accessed easily in just one application. Plex also has over 200 TV channels for interested users.
6. Funimation

The subscription fee for this application is quite affordable and Funimation offers up to hundreds of the best anime to watch. Users can also see the rating of each anime before watching so they can find out the quality. In 2022, Funimation joined another popular anime streaming service, Crunchyroll.
