A home should be our haven of peace, a place where we relax, recharge and cut out the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Someone smart once said that while art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time.

What do these two statements have in common? They meet together and merge into one in Calm Radio.

It’s an app available for LG Smart TV that is a collection of over a thousand of channels with various relaxing sounds. From jazz to classical, from guided meditation to nature recordings, white noise, piano, wellness music, podcasts, audiobooks – Calm Radio truly has it all.

With numerous original series and movies coming out each year, it’s definitely one you should check out!

Contrary to Netflix, Disney Plus doesn’t have a lot of region-locked content. It is, however, entirely unavailable in some countries. But if you’re from the US, you’ll be more than fine!

Disney Plus cost

Just like all of the biggest streaming services, Disney Plus is free to download, but requires a paid subscription of $7.99 per month of $79.99 annually.

13 | LG Channels

Similarly to Plex, LG Channels is a free streaming service. It boasts a collection of over 190 IP channels and 5.000 movies as well as on-demand content.

It delivers those to your LG Smart TV via the Internet and not the TV antenna. That means it requires a solid Internet connection or better yet, an Ethernet cable. If you have a Smart TV, you’ll have either of those!

The app is native to LG Smart TVs and is supported by Xumo and Pluto TV, two popular free streaming apps.

14 | DuplexPlay

Do you have an extensive library of content? If your answer is yes, then DuplexPlay is the app for you!

DuplexPlay is a media management app and a player that allows you to organize all of your content in one place. Watch all of your favorite channels, movies, series, and listen to audio from one location and without a mess.

How much is DuplexPlay?

DuplexPlay is a free app!

15 | Spotify app for LG Smart TV

Spotify is a streaming giant and you will most likely find all of your favourite music artists on there. Are you more of a podcast person? Spotify is also your guy! Into discovering new things? With multiple curated and user-specific playlists, this has never been easier.

This is an especially good app to have on your LG Smart TV if you have a good soundbar with detachable ends. That way, you’ll feel like you’re in a middle of a concert!

Spotify Premium cost

You can use a free version of Spotify, but that means ads and very limited functionalities.

A Premium subscription will set you back $9.99 per month. Luckily there are also Family ($14.99 shared between up to six users) and Student ($4.99 monthly) plans.

16 | YouTube Kids

YouTube’s choice in ads and autoplay options is sometimes…. questionable. And if you have a small child, you don’t want them to see anything brutal or inappropriate.

Youtube Kids is the answer to that. It offers filtered video content that’s tailored to your kid’s age. That way, they can enjoy their favourite cartoons or songs and you can have a little moment to yourself!

Apart from that, Youtube Kids offers educational content and an ‘explore’ option. Additionally, you can dial back many of the normal YT functions such as the search bar, casting or video availability that your kid can accidentally use.

Is YouTube Kids free?

Yes, it is! You can download it for free from LG Content Store. Set up a Google account to access all of the functionalities of YouTube Kids.

17 | YouTube TV

Ready to go a bit up on the age bracket? YouTube TV is a dedicated TV streaming service with more than 85 live television channels. It’s like cable, but… without cables! And confusing contracts, and hidden costs!

Instead, it gives you news, movies, sports, regional channels, kids entertainment and very importantly – unlimited cloud DVR. You can record your favourite show or a sports match to watch it later and not worry about it overwriting the movie you recorded a day before!

YouTube TV cost

Currently, YouTube TV will set you back $64.99 per month. There are also many optional add-ons that cover sports, movies or TV series. You may also have to pay some extra region-dependent taxes.

18 | Amazon Freevee

Formerly known as IMDb TV, Freevee is Amazon’s free streaming service. It has plenty of classic movie and TV series titles in its collection as well as a growing collection of originals.

IMDb is one of the leading online services for movie and series reviews and rating. Anything that comes from their stable is sure to contain amazing content. Go for it if you’re a movie-head!

19 | Flying Fish 2

Remember Flappy Bird? The game was all the rage back in the first half of 2010s. And similarly, it made everyone rage with its trickily simple, yet hellishly difficult gameplay.

Flying Fish 2 is Flappy Bird’s younger and much easier-to-play brother. The mechanics are pretty much identical except it won’t have you throwing your remote across the room. Crucially, the game is divided into levels and if you find yourself hitting one of the walls, you will respawn at the start of the stage you ‘died’ on.

Additionally, you will play it on your LG Smart TV screen instead of a tiny smartphone – that’s always a treat!

20 | Tubi TV

Tubi TV is a free streaming app with a Netflix-like interface. There are some familiar elements such as the ‘Featured’ or ‘Most Watched’ sections organized in horizontal rows. But that’s not where the similarities end!

Similarly to world’s biggest streaming service, where Tubi shines is in its expansive library of content. It’s almost too good for a free, ad-supported service!

From movies, to TV series, local live TV, on-demand sports, originals and especially a kids section, Tubi packs a solid selection, making it a top-tier fee streaming service.

Tubi is currently only available in the USA.

21 | Peloton

Peloton took the fitness community by storm. You know it happened when people start saying ‘I’m going on my Peloton’ instead of just ‘I’m going biking’!

Watch workouts on your LG Smart TV with the Peloton app! One catch is that Peloton only works on LG units with webOS 3.0 or higher. That means any LG TV made before 2016 might not be compatible with your Peloton.

How much is the Peloton app?

If you have a Peloton unit at home and pay the $44/month all-access membership, then you can download and use the app for free. But if you just want the app without the bike, it will set you back $12.99 a month.

Want another way to stream Peloton to your LG Smart TV? Click the button below and find out!

22 | Landscape

Remember that DVD screen saver that never hit the corner, leaving you frustrated?

How about replacing that for five 4k video screen savers? They are: fireplace, rain, waterfall, snow and sunset. Each of them containing an ambient soundscape that reflects what’s being displayed, they’re a world within themselves.

Landscape is a must-have LG Smart TV app, especially if you own a 4k unit!

Original LG Services Country

If you want to go back to your original LG Services Country you may be worried if the region-restricted apps you downloaded will still work.

The answer to that question is – they usually do!
