Ratings and reviews

it works great when it works. my only real issue is with remote play on mobile networks. the whole point of remote play, is to play without interrupting someone else using the TV. it completly defeats the purpose of it, if you have connect to the wifi again, and enter an 8 digit code you get off the console, every 3 attempts of remote play, especially when all it takes is a spam phone call to disconnect it.. it's an easy fix.. wouldn't be hard to overcome...

Reasonable app but definitely needs some tweaks. Specifically connection stabilization and how fast you're able to connect to your console. Playing games like Nightreign where you have to be connected and can be penalized for a loss are risky business to play. Even with a great connection I can sometimes get disconnected. Please fix this, otherwise it's pretty solid. I've been out of state for example in Hawaii, California & sometimes even out of the country in Canada and have been able to play.

Used to work okay (though it was really slow to start up). Now, I can get into the launcher, but every time I try to play a game I get the error: "Can't display the screen on the connected console. The screen contains content that can't be displayed using Remote Play" and the only option is to go back to the PS5 home screen. This happens no matter what game it is, even ones that worked fine before. So the app is effectively useless.
