Postparty is the simplest way to capture, store and share gaming moments with friends and followers. How? Well, you know greatness when you see it, but you may not always think to save it. Postparty will fix that. And save your personal highlight reel in an easily accessible place. Whether you're a pro streamer looking to quickly share a victory with your followers on social media, or a casual gamer just trying to save a memorable moment with your squad - sharing gameplay clips, regardless of whether you're playing on console or PC has never been easier. Now when you make an awe-inspiring move during a game, Postparty won't just be there to save it for you, it will even remind you to clip your awesomeness to share with others. After clipping it, you can use Postparty to edit the clip and then easily share it through social media (or messages or email or however you want). You can finally get the recognition you deserve. Or you can save it to share later. With Postparty, you can store clips so they are easily accessible when you are ready to share them or just rewatch them over and over again for your own personal enjoyment. How does Postparty work? 1. Login to Postparty with your Epic Games account in order to directly upload content to the Postparty app. 2. Capture moments from Epic Games Fortnite or Psyonix Rocket League with the press and hold of a button on your controller. Postparty will save, store and even organize your content in the app. 3. When you're ready, you can easily trim your clips and share them however you like.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Postparty at 63% against PlayStation App's 25%. Postparty also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2). PlayStation App's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
