It often freezes soon afterwards. Maybe it’s just the game No Man’s Sky. If that issue ever gets fixed, I’ll give it a 5. ### 2/5 — Won’t connect *2026-08-19, version 9.0.0* Unfortunately my app won’t connect to my PS5. I keep getting the connection error message ### 2/5 — Touchpad issue *2026-08-16, version 9.0.0* For the love of god fix the touchpad feature. It gets stuck on every game play on my phone. Do better! ### 2/5 — Не ворк *2026-08-10, version 9.0.0* не подключается чета нехуя хотя все четко ### 2/5 — Did something happen *2026-08-09, version 9.0.0* I’ve been playing with this app for about a year, at first it was amazing. But for these past three or four months when I use the app, my right Trigger (R2) just completely stops responding whether I use the controller or try to push it on the phone. This has made things rather inconvenient because I play a lot of games where the main action button is R2. Please fix it and the app would be amazing again. ### 2/5 — i stream to my friends and the quality is trash *2026-08-05, version 9.0.0* dont even work not recommended ### 1/5 — Touchpad *2026-08-04, version 9.0.0* Terrible touchpad as soon as you hold it too hard it gets stuck who designed ts ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-03, version 9.0.0* I was on a road trip and I’m trying to play my PS5 while we are on the trip. It won’t even let me do it while we’re on the trip. I have to go to my house. Turn on remote playing too much work. BTW, the ride was eight hours ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-03, version 9.0.0* To come from a so called leader of technology this app really _ _ _ _ _ you can fill in the blanks the truth shall set you free ### 1/5 — Wtf is this *2026-08-03, version 9.0.0* Bro I was using it normally then it started glitching and putting stick drift on my controller when u didn’t have stick drift and it made my controller feel stiff ### 1/5 — I simply need it for text input, because Sony does not support the PS4 Second Screen application *2026-08-03, version 9.0.0* I simply need it for text input, because Sony does not support the PS4 Second Screen application, which is much more efficient. Please make the PS4 Second Screen app compatible with the PS5. ### 4/5 — 💙 Suggestions to Improve PS Remote Play *2026-07-31, version 9.0.0* PS Remote Play Suggestions I’d rate PS Remote Play 8.5/10. It’s a great feature, but I think it could be even better. Here are my suggestions: * 🎮 Improve the streaming quality. * ⚡ Reduce input lag and make gameplay feel more responsive. * 📶 Make the connection more stable so the quality doesn’t keep changing between blurry and clear. * 🚀 Improve performance so it runs more smoothly, even on good Wi-Fi. * 🛠️ Add more quality settings, such as higher resolutions and better bitrate controls. Overall, I really enjoy using PS Remote Play on my iPad, and I think these improvements would make it an even better experience..Thank You so much for ur time ♥️ ### 1/5 — No disc *2026-07-30, version 9.0.0* No buy ### 1/5 — Work no *2026-07-30, version 9.0.0* no work ### 1/5 — Login page not fitting the screen and blank *2026-07-30, version 9.0.0* Downloaded the phone app to try and set this up because my computer app wasn’t loading properly and parts of the login box was falling outside of the window. Download the iOS app and run smack into the same issue staring at a blank text box. How does Sony of all companies have a broken app? ### 1/5 — trouble reconnecting controller to tv *2026-07-27, version 9.0.0* when I was disconnecting my controller from my iPad, it would not let me connect back to my TV and I was very disappointed because I wanted to play Fortnite on my TV. I do not like the quality from the tv ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, *2026-07-27, version 9.0.0* When I try and connect my child’s IPad to the PlayStation so we can all play together it either says that I can’t connect the PlayStation or it says to put in the number on the PlayStation, I find where the number is and I put it in, then it says that the PlayStation isn’t on the same WiFi as I am, and it is, time wasted :( ### 3/5 — Resolution *2026-07-26, version 9.0.0* It’s 2026 add better resolution unlike your ps portal a phone a has a good WiFi antenna ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do better *2026-08-23, version 9.0.0* As loyal as I’ve been to PlayStation, their insistence on switching to digital only shows a disrespect for their client base that I can’t tolerate. I was looking forward to playing Kingdom Hearts 4 on my preferred system, but unless they reverse their decision it seems like I’ll have to get a Switch 2 before then. ### 1/5 — Why *2026-08-23, version 9.0.0* I can’t even login I keep getting met with the same error message “connection to sever timed out” ### 1/5 — terrible connection consistently *2026-08-17, version 9.0.0* this irritates me so badly it literally disconnects every 5 minutes and I can’t even play games properly and I receive like 30-40fps or even lower ### 1/5 — It suck *2026-08-14, version 9.0.0* I don’t really like this app because I don’t know how to play on my mobile I use this app is not working and I search it up on YouTube. It’s still not working. ### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible *2026-08-11, version 9.0.0* I have tried this multiple times when going out of town and it never works. If it’s not one thing it’s another, like this time I get an error code and it turns out most of the time home WiFi just blocks the connection. And the only way to fix it is to actually mess with the port numbers in the WiFi settings. Every time I try to troubleshoot the tell me to have access to ps5s WiFi. BUT IM ALWAYS OUT OF TOWN WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED SO WHATS THE POINT. The only time this app has ever worked is when I don’t need it to work. Truly disappointing. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-08, version 9.0.0* doesn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Get *2026-08-07, version 9.0.0* Get ### 1/5 — Cant log in *2026-08-07, version 9.0.0* It keeps asking me for a passkey qr code but I can’t scan it on my phone and it just goes away when I screenshot it this is so dumb I literally cant log in even if I send email it doesn’t work it just asked for passkey again ### 1/5 — Nah *2026-08-07, version 9.0.0* LOVE LIVE DISCS ### 1/5 — Bruh *2026-08-04, version 9.0.0* I did everything I turned on Bluetooth the ps4 was connected to the same network it doesn’t work I tried again and again nothing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ps5 *2026-08-24, version 9.0.0* Omg it I love it but(it laggy and little problems my ps5 won’t connect when I play) it say u have a problem connect it.
