05.70.30 is likely the firmware version not the WebOS version - that TV probably shipped with WebOS 3. LG dont usually update the WebOS on previous TVs - they just fix bugs. New Tvs comes with new WebOS versions. Most apps do run on all WevOS versions but some need WebOS 4 or newer. 

This seems to have been resolved by LG - was affecting 2018 models

A Paramount+ app has been added to the Content Store

I'm now seeing the Paramount+ app in the Content Store

To be fair LG - who wont be reading this anyway - dont develop apps - its the streaming companies themselves who you need to contact. LG provide WebOS and libraries for which the apps are really just fairly simple GUIs - so there's not that much effort needed.

An ATV 4K box was an option to get iTunes before that came to WebOS but now it has more apps like Paramount+ - or there are cheap sticks as another option.

Apps were one of the benefits of LG in the past but over time several LG advantages are disappearing.

WebOS isnt awful - from the user point of view its just an app launcher and its very quick and easy on a C8 to do that - the apps themselves are quite simple too as they're just GUIs really - the hard work is really done by the libraries within the firmware.

I bought a ATV 4K back when there was no ATV app on WebOS but its still useful from time to time like the TvOS ITVx app does support live. 

For the issue of apps always showing needing update in the Content Store when they dont - then LG support quickly fell back on "try a factory reset before we can help" but its a big job to put back all the settings for each of SDR/HDR/DV for all sources and inputs

You said "WebOS version 3.21.30" - thats a firmware version not WebOS version 

The C2 has WebOS 7

So you dont need a WebOS update - we need a Paramount+ app to be made available

Are you confusing f/w version with WebOS - a C2 would have WebOS 7 and even a C8 has WebOS 4?

Is there a Paramount+ WebOS app available at all?

I have a similar issue. Apps are updating but then showing they need updating again.

 

I believe the apps that content store My Apps says need updating are already up to date so its best to ignore them until this issue is fixed

If you get a pop-up message of apps ready for update when you turn on the TV then you need to check each of your apps under All Apps - one of them will genuinely need an update - so manually update it - it wont be same app as My Apps says needs updating

This will get rid of the pop-up message but not fix the content store issue 

The My Apps section of the content store has been corrupted on my LG and the apps have old icons and names

It did not detect the update to ITVx and shows the wrong apps needing updates

I scrolled through All Apps (not My apps) and found ITVx and was able to update ITV Hub that way 

ITVx app has been released but the My Apps section of the content store has been corrupted on my TV and would not update ITV Hub app to ITVx

I scrolled through the All Apps section (not My Apps) and found ITVx and was able to manually update

The My Apps section of the content store on my LG has become corrupted and the apps have old icons and old names

It shows the wrong apps needing update and the TV did not update ITV Hub to ITVx when the update was released recently

So I scrolled through the apps under All Apps (not My Apps) and found ITVx and was able to update the ITV Hub app to ITVx

ITVX does not support live TV on LG TVs

I am still investigating my update problems with My Apps section of the content store

I have a variation of this issue

- I got the "apps available for update" pop-up message so I went to content store and under My apps there are two apps needing update (UKTV play and Disney+)

- I tried to update them - but they are already up to date and and they stay as needing update

- Also looking at My Apps - the app icons are old icons with old name and if I click on an app it gives Wrong Region error

So I checked the apps under All Apps (not My Apps) and found one app genuinely needing an update (ITV Hub update to ITVx)

- now I dont get the pop-up message

- but My Apps is still corrupted and wrongly shows two apps needing update

I'm trying to resolve with LG support to avoid a factory reset
