Ratings and reviews

For those who haven't read what this app is supposed to do, it works great. Some users seem to think it should allow you to play PS4 games on your mobile screen. No. What it does do is allow games which support a second screen to display things like maps, help and instructions on your phone while playing. It also lets you navigate the menus and type into text boxes using your touch screen rather than a joypad. Very useful.

Does exactly what you'd expect. It's good for replacing the PS4 on screen keyboard and allows me to quickly write a paragraph rather than the clunky PS4 keyboard. No you can't use it as a controller or as a second screen to play games on. All it needs is to be connected to the same network as your PS4. Only problem I ever have is occasionally after opening and closing the app is says no PS4 found but it's easily fixed by clearing the app drawer on my phone.

The app paired instantly with my PS4. I like the functionality and it works great as it's intended. You can control the PS4 from your phone in some ways. For example, you can power it on from rest mode and navigate menus and type from your phone keyboard to the PS4. I just don't understand why this can't be integrated into the main Playstation App like before. It doesn't make sense to have 2 separate apps when it can be an all in one, more convenient app.
