REVIEW
Ben Azelart on webOS is a single-creator channel hunting for a TV reason.
A dedicated LG app for the prank-and-stunt YouTuber's catalogue. The content travels well to a 65-inch screen; the app around it does not add much beyond a remote-friendly grid.

Single-creator TV apps are a strange genre. The pitch is straightforward — a YouTuber with tens of millions of subscribers wants their own tile on the home screen, sitting next to Netflix and Disney+ as if the comparison were fair. The Ben Azelart app on LG webOS is firmly in that genre. It is a dedicated channel for the skater-turned-prankster’s back catalogue, packaged for the living room rather than the phone.
What you actually get is a vertically scrolling wall of thumbnails — challenge videos, stunt builds, big-cash-prize formats — playing back at full TV resolution with the LG remote handling navigation. For a viewer already deep in the Azelart universe, it is a more comfortable way to binge than fishing the channel out of the YouTube app every time. For everyone else, the question of why this needs to exist as a separate install is not really answered.
The production on the underlying videos is genuinely strong: drones, multi-cam, tight edits. That carries to a big screen better than most YouTube content does. The app wrapper, less so.
The app is essentially a curated YouTube playlist with the LG remote in mind, and it shows in every direction.
FEATURES
The app is a flat catalogue of Ben Azelart's recent uploads, organised into a few grids — newest, most popular, occasionally a themed playlist. Each tile is a thumbnail, a title, and a duration. Selecting one drops you into a full-screen player with standard playback controls mapped to the LG remote. There is no account system, no comments, no creator-side interaction. Autoplay rolls you into the next video when one ends, which is the closest the app gets to a "lean back" mode.
There is no search inside the app and no filtering beyond the prebuilt rows. If you want a specific older video, you scroll for it.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The app does the one thing it sets out to do: it puts Azelart's videos on the TV without requiring a phone, a cast button, or the YouTube app's own algorithm getting in the way. For a household where a younger viewer wants exactly this creator and nothing else, that is a real win. The remote-first navigation is competent, the player is stable, and the thumbnails look fine at TV scale.
It is also free, which is the right price for what it is.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
The case for installing this over just opening YouTube is thin. YouTube on webOS already lets you subscribe, pin a creator, and resume across devices — none of which this app does. There is no continue-watching, no cross-device history, no way to mark a video as already seen. Drop into the app a week later and you are scrolling past the same thumbnails trying to remember which ones you watched.
The bigger gap is editorial. A creator-channel app could lean into archival framing — eras, themed runs, a "start here" for new viewers. This one is a reverse-chronological feed and a popular-videos row, which is what the YouTube channel page already is.
CONCLUSION
Install it if there is a specific Ben Azelart fan in the house and you want a one-tap path to his videos on the big screen. Skip it otherwise — the YouTube app already does this job, with subscriptions, history, and a recommendation engine the single-creator app cannot match. Worth watching whether the format evolves into something more curated, or stays a thin shell over the channel.
