### 3/5 — 機能面に問題は無いが

*2026-05-08*

週1くらいで使用するのですが、使用する度に機器の登録を要求されます。しかも毎回登録済みの機器情報を消す必要があるので地味に面倒です。
前までこうはならなかったのですがなぜなのでしょうか

### 3/5 — Atualizem pada PS5

*2025-12-16*

era muito bom no PS4, agora falta funcionar no PS5

### 2/5 — Good when it works

*2025-12-13, version 21.6.0*

Used it once and then I was no longer able to use it after that. It would continually say “couldnt connect to network”

### 3/5 — 助かるけど繋がらない

*2025-12-06*

文字打ちやすくて助かるんですがps4となかなか繋がりません。
原因が分からないので対処も難しいし…

### 4/5 — Ps5

*2025-12-05, version 21.6.0*

Hi can you update this app for ps5 please and thank you.

### 2/5 — Can work but one time use only

*2025-10-21, version 21.6.0*

I downloaded it signed in and it worked fine but next time I have to delete the app and reinstall it to make it work

### 1/5 — 🙄

*2025-10-20*

「接続中です…」から一向に接続されないままタイムアウトします。
さらに5日間ぐらい使わないと勝手にPS4とのペアリングが切れてることがあります。その度にコードを入力して登録しなおす必要があるのでとてつもなく面倒です。

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2025-08-27, version 21.6.0*

Can’t even get past the login screen to enter my info

### 4/5 — Good but…

*2025-08-23, version 21.6.0*

It’s good but it’d be better if it let you navigate through YouTube and other streaming apps

### 1/5 — décevant

LONG LIVE DISCS

### 1/5 — Support Physical And Older Media!

*2026-07-04, version 21.6.0*

Keep fighting until they keep supporting physical media and keep the PS3 and Vita stores open!

### 1/5 — 皆さんこのアプリは絶対にインストールしないでください

*2026-03-12*

そもそもPSアカウントと連携ができません。
本体または機器に番号が出るらしいですが説明書きも一切ありません。
ご自身でご勝手にと言われているようにアプリとしての価値などありません
だってインストールしても何も出来ない
インストールするなら別の方法を考えましょう

### 1/5 — HTTPS status

*2026-02-26, version 21.6.0*

It says to many requests and I didn’t do so many requests

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-02-14, version 21.6.0*

I tried signing in with my password but it wouldn’t let me! I tried signing in using my gmail and it wouldn’t let me! I tried singing in with a QR code and it wouldn’t let me! I even tried using a different phone and it still wouldn’t let me sign in. Disappointed.🤦🏼‍♂️

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-01-18, version 21.6.0*

Tried to connect this one to my PS4 as well on multiple different networks, but my app would not connect. It just immediately said can’t connect to PS4 or PS4 not found after showing my PS4 as an option to connect to. They should’ve just left this as part of the normal PlayStation app like it used to be

### 1/5 — PS4 not found

*2025-12-28, version 21.6.0*

It will come up on app as connected but when I click on it, it says cannot pair in time limit when it says on PlayStation 200+ seconds yes it is activated and yes the account is the same just want to know what’s up with it

### 1/5 — restricted

*2025-11-02, version 21.6.0*

I can’t even get to the second screen because it says"restriction".

### 1/5 — Проблема

*2025-10-30, version 21.6.0*

### 5/5 — C’est pas mal

*2026-08-07*

Bonjour à tous j’utilise cette app que je trouve utile. j’ai regardé les avis des autres et je vais vous répondre. Cette appli déjà elle ne sert pas à jouer sur le téléphone, mais à d’autres fonctions : par exemple sur THE PLAYROOM si on installe une des extensions gratuites on peut utiliser l’appli ( je n’e vous dirait point pourquoi. (à vous de le découvrir. )). et pour le clavier je ne sais pas car moi aussi j’ai le bug.

### 5/5 — I recommend check out and all generation world people

*2026-06-21, version 21.6.0*

This app awesome and i hope see new update everyday day and good day u

### 5/5 — Amazing app!!!!

*2026-05-07, version 21.6.0*

Second screen is great! On the playroom I find it quite useful. And there is way more to the second screen! When you broadcast gameplay you can see spectaters comments! You can type to your ps! Voice chat turn to Text! Even Control your PlayStation with second screen! Go download second screen if you Wanna have a great Time!

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-04-19, version 21.6.0*

This is very handy and I wish for Sony to update this for us in 2026 on the playroom thank you
