You're always going to get barrel distortion with wide angle lenses. I believe there exists PC software that can help correct but I don't think they are very effective.

If you take pictures of scenes with straight lines
(Buildings, electric posts etc) with a very wide angle camera like the LG G5, you will notice that at the extremities of the photo, straight lines appear curved like a barrel. Hence the name 'barrel distortion'

I use Lightroom to correct it. I have yet to find an Android app that does as good a job, but you can try these two which I use in a pinch:
