Any developer interested in creating and delivering new mobile applications can submit their applications to LG. If you want to submit a business proposal to LG, feel free to contact us.

1. Before submitting your mobile application, please test your application for stability, functionality, and compatibility against LG mobile phones to avoid application rejections and testing failures. You can test your mobile application on remote devices through the LG Virtual Developer Lab or on your devices through the OTA download service.

2. Submit your application to LG for consideration. Login, go to Go To Market > Business Proposals, and click the Submit Your Application button. You have to provide detailed application information with your application.

3. Your submitted application will be reviewed and evaluated using our evaluation criteria. Applications that are determined to be a good fit for LG’s mobile business are tested internally to verify their functionality and usability.

4. After the evaluation and testing of your application is completed, we will send you an email regarding the result and the next step.

Once you submit your application and it is received, you will receive an email confirming the successful submission of your application. You cannot change any details of your application after receiving the confirmation email.
