### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-03-09, version 1.01*

STILL doesn’t work with PS5. There’s no PS5 version of the app or anything. Poor!

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2025-02-13, version 1.01*

This app is completely useless. 
Got the game free on ps plus one month and decided to give it a go. Not sure if it still works for people on ps4 but if you’re on a ps5 and trying to connect, even with a hotspot, it just no longer works.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-12-24, version 1.01*

What’s the point of keeping this app up if it’s not going to be supported in any way?

### 5/5 — Doesn’t Work with PS5

*2024-10-01*

Title says it all. Tried it myself and then went to Google and says it isn’t backwards compatible. I’ll still give it 5 stars for working with PS4 since this is Sonys fault for making a next gen console incompatible in the year 2024

### 1/5 — Barely works

*2024-06-26*

Doesn’t stay connected longer that just a couple minutes. It’s annoying

### 4/5 — Playing this game is better with this app👍🏻👍🏻

*2024-06-18, version 1.01*

The

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on ps5

*2024-05-26, version 1.01*

Since this game is still on ps5 and you kindly suggest that this game runs better on this app. But it doesn’t work at all

### 1/5 — Does not work with ps5.

*2024-05-24, version 1.01*

Kinda stupid, but the game runs on a ps5 however cannot connect to the app, only works if you have ps4 hardware. Seems like a massive oversight

### 1/5 — Will not work with newer Wifi router

*2024-02-24, version 1.01*

The game insists it’s better to play with your smartphone however it is unable to make a connection to play “connected to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network.” Prompting for connection to “a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.” 🤷🏻‍♀️ Probably better to skip the whole process and just use the controller from the get go

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with ps5

*2024-02-18, version 1.01*

Annoying
