Ratings and reviews

this app is to be great, worked well enough on PS4, and PS5. But the last 6 months it never connects other than on the same network, I've checked my settings but nothing is different. Same issue with the PS Portal, never able to connect outside of the same network. Which completely defeats the purpose of "remote" play. The only thing I can remote play from seems to be my laptop, once I jump through a bunch of loops to establish a NAT 2 connection.

I love this app! Since I've taken up school, i haven't had time to play often, so I've been playing on my breaks at work using my T-MOBILE 5g unlimited cell data. I play on a Galaxy S24 while pairing my PS5 controller and some Sony bluetooth headphones. I was amazed at how functional it was! There is a split second controller lag, which is to be expected. So, I would recommend sticking to single-player games. I am looking forward to getting a Backbone controller for my phone. 5/5

the app is easy to use and nice for doing simple tasks and activities, especially with a controller paired to the device. That said, it would be nice at times if it allowed the option to just share the screen of the related account, being able to be used as a way of maybe continuing an activity that was begun on the main console in another room without having to disconnect any controller anywhere
