Ratings and reviews

when it works, it's adequate. However, it's highly inconsistent in its connection and performance regardless of your Internet connection. it often says it can't connect, would drop in performance, disconnect, sign you out the app, etc Xbox, Nvidia, Amazon, and my favorite, the long home Stadia have( or had) significantly better performance and user experience.

I love my PS5, but the remote play features are garbage. It's almost impossible to link up with my PS5. Then when I do, it let's me play for about 5 minutes, then it freezes, and disconnects, and then refuses to link back up with the console. To be fair I've had a couple times where it worked the way it should. But mostly it's just broken. Xbox is lightyears ahead when it comes to this feature. Just trash.

Can't use the app without it saying I disconnected from my console due to not having a stable connection, I could be anywhere with high signal, and have testing speeds of 100mbps or higher for upload and download. And yet still get told connection isn't strong enough. Always some sort of issue with PlayStation, they are greedy, and don't care for what the customers want. Look at the subscriptions they have now, compared to what it was a few years ago. I may as well just switch to PC.
