Ratings and reviews

It works well, using Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra connecting to PS5. Lag isn't too bad, much better with a controller than trying to use on-screen controls which don't seem to register multiple touch points at the same time (using a "control stick" and pressing "X" at the same time for example). Disappointed that I can't use the app when connected via Samsung DeX or screen sharing my phone to my laptop. I'm fine using my phone if I had to, but I'd like the ability to play on a bigger screen.

After messing around with my PlayStation's wifi settings, the app has started working much better. Although, it just isn't the app that I wanted it to be. I just want to cast what is happening on my PlayStation to my phone. Although, while casting, controllers connected to the console seem to be disabled. You have to connect your controller to your phone. I don't like the idea of both the visuals and my input being streamed over the internet, since that's just another thing with delay.

In my experience, the app has been pretty decent and usually works okay. My biggest issue with the app, however, is that it doesn't work on mobile data and without a Bluetooth control, the in-app controls are pretty bad and don't always function properly, which are the biggest reasons I wanted to use it, considering my playstation is in a house I'm not usually at. If they had the app work with mobile data and improved the control scheme, it would be an easy 5 stars
