Hardware recommendations

• A wired Internet connection for your PS is strongly recommended
• Smartphone should be connected to a 5GHz WiFi for minimum delays
• A high-speed internet connection with upload and download speeds of at least 15 Mbps

PSPad connects to your PS via the Remote Play protocol. PSPad allows you to remote control any PS game which supports Remote Play.

Main Features

- Easy Connection Setup
- Microphone support
- Motion sensor support
- Use PSPad as virtual D-Shock controller for your PS
- Forward all connected Android controllers commands to your PS
- Create individual controller button mappings

Limitations

- Because of how PSPad works, using Remote Play will not work while using PSPad
- You cannot connect multiple PSPad apps to your PS at the same time
- To connect a controller to your PS while using PSPad, you need a second PS profile
- Connection can only be established via WiFi

PSPad connects to your PS via the Remote Play protocol. PSPad will only work in applications and games which support Remote Play (almost all games support Remote Play). As PSPad is connecting to your PS via the Remote Play protocol, the PS is sending audio and stream data to your smartphone. Despite no audio and video will be displayed, PSPad does receive that data which may have an impact on your internet traffic so please keep that in mind.

*Please note: If you want to use PSPad as second gamepad in addition to your real D-Shock controller you must have at least a second PS guest profile on your PS. The real D-Shock controller must then be connected to the PS profile which is not currently used by the PSPad Remote Play session, otherwise PSPad will be disconnected.

Ratings and reviews

This is an amazing app that deserves at least 4.5 stars. Firstly, this is the only app not made by Sony that doesn't let you use it like 3 times before needing a subscription. In fact, you don't need to get a subscription. Secondly, connecting to the PlayStation is fast and easy. And thirdly, there are ads but there aren't any ads while using using the controller. 100% recommend.

Pretty great app! My PS4 controller decided that it no longer needed to charge, which meant that I couldn't use my PS4 for streaming videos. I decided to do what any 21st century person would and turn my Smartphone in to a controller! The ONLY downside I can figure out is that the PS4 recognizes it as "Remote Play" which does limit the use somewhat. Obviously I wouldn't recommend using it for actual gaming, but navigating the menu, streaming, and other services are super easy. Great job!

This app is very amazing when it comes to Mobile PS4 & PS5 Gamepad of when you don't have enough controllers for a multiplayer game. I noticed when I customized the gamepad layout, it looked similar to all the other apps like DroidJoy and etc. One thing that would be very cool that beats other "Mobile Gamepad" apps, I'll suggest you add the background of your liking (like an image) for the gamepad layout. Iwould like lit even more if this happens. Hope my review and suggustions are helpful!
