The app paired instantly with my PS4. I like the functionality and it works great as it's intended. You can control the PS4 from your phone in some ways. For example, you can power it on from rest mode and navigate menus and type from your phone keyboard to the PS4. I just don't understand why this can't be integrated into the main Playstation App like before. It doesn't make sense to have 2 separate apps when it can be an all in one, more convenient app.

So many negative reviews by folks who think Second Screen means "play games on your phone." Lol no. Second Screen means "when another (typically small) screened device such as a smartphone, tablet, portable games console, etc., provides a view, interface or even game mode into a console game that is unique from what is currently being displayed on the TV." It's not the same as Remote Play. It's not Sony's fault if you're a gamer who doesn't understand this concept. It's not false advertising.

Since you guys separated this app from the main one, can you add a few features, like, as follows: ability to use your phone as a controller, and or the ability to see your own TV screen on you phone, that way I can play games in another room, take my gaming with me. If these features are added I will rate 5 stars, and buy a PSP Plus, probably gonna buy one anyway, but still. Edit: You guys made another app that allows remote play from phone so I am happy

Great app, functions as advertised. I've really enjoyed being able to use it to remote play from a different room. No lag issues or anything like that for (granted I have a very good internet connection). Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that it only works with a PlayStation controller or touch controls. I have a Razer Kishi and I can't remote play with it in this app.

For those who haven't read what this app is supposed to do, it works great. Some users seem to think it should allow you to play PS4 games on your mobile screen. No. What it does do is allow games which support a second screen to display things like maps, help and instructions on your phone while playing. It also lets you navigate the menus and type into text boxes using your touch screen rather than a joypad. Very useful.

Does exactly what you'd expect. It's good for replacing the PS4 on screen keyboard and allows me to quickly write a paragraph rather than the clunky PS4 keyboard. No you can't use it as a controller or as a second screen to play games on. All it needs is to be connected to the same network as your PS4. Only problem I ever have is occasionally after opening and closing the app is says no PS4 found but it's easily fixed by clearing the app drawer on my phone.
