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

Since the update, it seems like the connection to my PS5 has improved. There are still some slight framerate drops and connection slowdowns, but overall, not terrible. However, the touch pad refuses to work, either on my DualSense controller or on the app's own virtual controller, which makes no sense to me and locks me out of vital functions of some games. This definitely needs some fixing up.
