The best webOS TV apps are created here
We engineer for real TVs, real users, and real certification rules.
Backed by decades of hands-on expertise in streaming architectures and webOS TV app development, we’ll help you de-risk the submission process, expedite time to market, mitigate submission frictions, and deliver smooth playback at scale.
Our core LG Smart TV app development services
Custom development
Our webOS app development services focus on creating reliable products for real LG TVs.
We design architecture and navigation upfront, mindful of platform limits and certification rules, and leverage Widevine L3 expertise for reliable DRM-protected playback.
Performance optimization
We optimize OTT apps through real-device testing across LG TVs and webOS versions.
Proper lifecycle handling and tuned playback and DRM workflows reduce buffering, prevent playback errors, and keep startup fast and responsive, even on older TVs.
Cross-platform expansion
Experienced in smart TV app development, we design webOS TV apps for cross-platform growth from day one.
Core logic, playback workflows, and UI architecture are built to scale seamlessly to Titan OS, Samsung Tizen, and beyond without rebuilding.
Aspire your webOS TV app to be perfect?
Then LG webOS app development must anticipate and eliminate these challenges:
Environment volatility
“Even a mature streaming stack can hit a wall, as you’re forced to navigate hardware constraints and real-world issues that simply crush any standard assumptions or emulator testing.”
Our approach
We validate streaming behavior on real LG TVs, not just in emulators. To reduce platform risk, we:
- Test playback on physical devices across multiple webOS versions and TV models
- Simulate real-world conditions such as unstable networks and long viewing sessions
- Tune player configurations specifically for webOS limitations and hardware constraints
- Verify edge cases including reconnects, pauses, resumes, and background transitions
Certification friction
“LG Content Store certification often becomes a serious blocker for teams without deep webOS experience, as each rejection is costly and consumes valuable time.”
Our approach
As a webOS TV app development company with a long track record of projects, we know the LG certification process in detail and how to pass it on the first attempt. We guarantee app readiness for submission by:
- UX designed specifically for LG webOS TVs
- Predictable remote navigation using TV Navigation Library (React Spatial Navigation for example)
- Verified behavior on exit, resume, and background transitions
- Explicit handling of network loss, recovery, and streaming errors
- Guaranteed stop of video playback when the app goes to background
- Validation against LG certification checklists
Making every webOS detail work for you
Reliable DRM and secure playback
Ensuring DRM works flawlessly on all LG webOS TVsHandling Digital Rights Management during webOS app development requires attention to the platform-specific details. We address this by tuning a selected player option specifically for LG TVs, testing on real devices across models and versions, and checking Widevine compatibility early with DASH or HLS streams.
Instant launch and agile updates
Fast startup and effortless app updates without republishingOn LG webOS TVs, a hosted application is an app shell that links to content, similar to a website inside the app. This setup allows us to deliver updates and new features without publishing a full app release, making improvements and changes available to users much faster.
Design once. Deploy everywhere.
We build streaming apps on shared logic and reusable components, so core functionality isn’t rebuilt for every platform.
Your webOS app can be extended to other TV platforms with clear scope, predictable effort, and no restart from scratch.

FAQ
WebOS app development for TVs includes building navigation around the remote, adapting layouts to large screens viewed from a distance, handling app launch, exit, and resume properly, and making sure playback and network errors don’t break the experience.
Look for a team that tests on real LG TVs and can explain how they handle DRM, playback failures, and certification issues. A trustworthy webOS TV app development company knows where apps usually break: during resume, quality switches, or network drops, and designs around those problems early. This reduces rework, shortens certification time, and avoids last-minute fixes before launch.
LG webOS app development requires deep knowledge of webOS features, Magic Remote support, and LG certification rules. Apps built without this expertise often fail in playback, navigation, or certification.
Yes. When architecture is handled carefully during LG Smart TV app development, apps built for LG webOS can extend to Samsung Tizen, Titan OS, and other platforms without a complete rebuild, keeping development efficient and consistent.
