### 2/5 — Não consigo conectar minha conta psn

*2026-07-25*

Tento entrar, de todas as formas mais não vai… e sempre foi pra esse app muito bom e sempre usei… mais depois que atualizou não consegui mais!

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2026-07-21*

App is wonderful for letting you sort your trophy list by game title alphabetically, but there are times where I need to re-login and it doesn’t recognize my name and password. Also the profile picture it has for me isn’t the one I have active on my PlayStation account, it’s an older one I used.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-13, version 7.7.5*

Great app been a pro member for a long time, however it signed me out of PSN and won’t let me sign back n to track anything, tried reaching out to customer service and get nothing?

### 1/5 — The fun doesn’t last long!

*2026-06-24*

At the beginning, I thought this app was really good, but then it flopped on its head. I mean it’s probably since I never bought any of their stuff that they wanted me to get. After I got many trophies, it just stopped working. It wouldn’t count any trophies that I got for any games that I would recently start playing. And wouldn’t tell me if I had already got them or not or how to even get them so I tried to delete but it won’t let me get back in at all. You’re welcome for me saving you all the time looking through all of your passwords and trying to reset them to get back into this.

### 5/5 — Definitely recommend

*2026-06-22, version 7.7.3*

Fantastic app, its constantly add new features and an overall great way to track your gaming achievements.

### 3/5 — Good but

*2026-06-17*

It’s a good app but I don’t like you have to give Psn login when other apps do similar without needing it

### 1/5 — مشاكل تحميل

*2026-06-17, version 7.7.2*

مشكله في تحميل

### 1/5 — unable to fetch games

*2026-06-13, version 7.7.1*

everytime I try to refresh my games list it says: unable to fetch games and it doesn’t sync with ps

### 1/5 — Failed to update Games

*2026-06-13, version 7.7.1*

Over the last two months the app stopped to work correctly. It does not update game progress any more and returns this error. iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 26.5

### 2/5 — No reset password menu

*2026-05-24, version 7.5.5*

I’m a new user but i cant register because my unique username is already registered. I cant reset password because no forget password menu
