### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER!

*2026-08-13, version 3.1.0*

This app is the best this app gave me a lil lag and PS REMOTE PLAY IS SO TRASH IT GAVE ME SO MUCH LAG WHEN I STARTED USING PXPLAY I GOT A LIL LAG 100% Recommend.

### 5/5 — Great app better than ps remote play app by a mile good job guys 👍

*2026-08-09, version 3.1.0*

Amazing

### 5/5 — 4K upscaling is a game changer

*2026-05-21, version 3.1.0*

Makes Sony’s official app look amateurish. Quick to connect, amazing performance, fantastic visual fidelity with the upscaling. Bought the paid version an hour after trying the basic version with no upscaling and just seeing the performance.

### 5/5 — e

*2026-05-20, version 3.1.0*

the app is good but it needs microphone from controller

### 2/5 — Too much Lag

*2026-05-18, version 3.1.0*

Tested this app initially for my iPad and was impressed.  There was some lag over WiFi, but reviews suggested a wired connection would be better.  I purchased an Apple TV and upgraded to the pro version.  Apple TV 4K version 3 wired in.  Lagging still persists.  Some games such as FC26 are almost unplayable and the pro version I paid for looked good, but again lagging caused a difficult play and visual experience.  All the reviews suggested Apple TV 4K version 3 was one of the better options on the market.  I now have an expensive paper weight.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2026-05-15, version 3.1.0*

What an amazing app the quality on the iPhone 17 pro max WOW! With the ps5 pro it is perfection, better than Sony ps remote play app.

### 5/5 — good app！

*2026-05-12, version 3.1.0*

I hope you can add a feature to set a default profile. I have three PSN accounts registered, and every time I reopen the app and start streaming, it connects me to a random account. There’s another issue: after enabling 4K upscaling, HDR stops working.

### 5/5 — Perfect companion to Apple TV

*2026-05-02, version 3.1.0*

I got this app to try it out mainly on my Apple TV, after just a day of playing Death Stranding I was hooked on how convenient and easy it was to stream my PS5. Getting the additional features was a no brainer and I immediately made this my primary gaming app over the official PS Remote Play. Besides the UI of this app everything has been excellent. I’m sure the interface will get a touch up soon and this doesn’t affect the primary function of the app. Keep up those consistent updates and one day Sony will purchase your app rights because this is it buddy.

### 5/5 — Better than the official app in every way

*2026-04-27, version 3.1.0*

There is no better PlayStation remote play app than this one. Buy it and enjoy the best experience remotely possible.

### 5/5 — Ps5 had technical issues

*2026-04-24, version 3.1.0*

Originally gave 1 star because of failing to connect but the problem was with my ps5. It’s now resolved and working fine.
