Apple TV app for LG UI issues

Wondering if anyone else has had this and found a solution, or setting adjustment for it.

I'm not having any issue with viewing quality or stuttering, it's more with UI of the app.

If I start a show and leave it partway through, when I eventually come back it defaults to a 'start from beginning'.

In addition, any shows that I'm currently watching, if I'm not fully aware of the last episode I watched, it takes some sleuthing to figure out which one I finished with since it defaults to Season 1, episode 1 no matter what season I happened to be watching.

Is this just a problem with the LG app? Is it a setting? Or is it intentional to push people toward purchasing an AppleTV rather than relying on native apps?

Ok, great news. I have discovered on the LGTV AppleTV+ app, in Settings>Privacy>Use Play History.

This was set to OFF by default. Not only has turning this on sorted it out on that app, but that setting has impacted all of my other devices. This setting doesn't appear on my other devices and was only accessible from the LGTV App.

It's weird. It's unusual. I'm not certain what I'd do if I didn't have an LGTV in the mix. However, this has solved it for me and perhaps it might help others.

you could be right here. I have only just realized the same is true of my laptop and mobile apps.
