PlayStation App for Negative User Reviews

Good, but definitely can be better.Coming from the Xbox side of the “console war”, the PlayStation UI on consoles are definitely cleaner than Xbox. However, the app for the PlayStation could definitely do better to reflect that. For starters, why have it broken up into different apps like PS Remote Play and PS4 Second Screen - the latter of which is essentially using the device as a second remote. That can all be incorporated in the main PS app for simpler use. Also, coming from Xbox, I really miss the ability to stream my gameplay clips. You’d think that, this being the beginning of a new console generation, the app would’ve changed by now. The Xbox app sure did anyways..Version: 21.4.0

DisappointingFirstly, I find the app not particularly easy to navigate or intuitive. But frankly the most disappointing is when I receive messages from clear fraudsters asking me to reply to receive nude pics, but when I try to report the message I get told “You are not signed in”. Erm, so you’re fine to send me these messages despite apparently me not being signed in, but I can’t report them? Seems pretty rubbish to me. Especially as frankly I have about 1,001 different logins for various organisations these days, each asking you to have separate passwords etc. so I sure as anything can’t remember my Sony login details since my PS4 and ps5 remember it for me all the time. I really can’t be bothered to go digging around for it - or worse, use the “forgot password” feature and have to sign in again on my ps devices - maybe that makes me lazy but welcome to human nature. Long story short, I don’t like receiving messages that I can’t report and I can’t be bothered to log in again so I’ve deleted the app. Sony is proper getting on my nerves in all sorts of ways these days..Version: 21.1.1

Worst navigationHi guys I am really frustrated with the game navigation and slowness of this app and console, I don’t know what design of app is in background but it’s clearly legacy The messaging social side of the things like is all secondary or later chit chat All I want is as a user first and most important I should be able to view browse games fast and see game play video fast,some games have some don’t , make decision pay move on. In as less time as yesterday Add more filters a-z z-a by date that’s it ? Even in ps4 pro when I start browsing games it’s just become slow and laggy going back and forth, god forbid if have to scroll up or down after 20-30 titles It’s so time consuming I hope you guys fix this ASAP You are throwing data in bulk at user without faster way of consuming it Your app should be the primary source of information , it’s like there is fixed set of games coming up or under some category but rest of them are lost and no way a user can get to know about them fast so only way Is to do internet search and then filter on Sony app or console what’s the point ? Ok Thanks in advance.Version: 19.15

Cannot sign in on this app any moreConnection to the server instantly "times out" when trying to sign in. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app but it no longer functions because of this bug..Version: 18.12.1

SucksOld messenger was better. No notifications for this app. Slow... lags... can’t paste anything in chats... can’t zoom in on pictures... why change what works? Smh....Version: 20.11.1

No landscape modeI NEVER use my ipad in portrait mode so I consider it unacceptable that an app does not support landscape mode . Please fix this !.Version: 17.11.0

Im being 100% honest.Okay so the clips are what really get me. they literally take forever to load onto my phone. and my phone isnt an old one so its not my device. whenever i would watch a clip on the app, the video would randomly crash and show this stupid grey screen. so when this happens i just click on another clip and guess what? GREY SCREEN. this happens alot and it makes me really mad. yes ive closed the app but it doesnt make it any better. AND sometimes the clips wont even LOAD they literally sit there for the full FOURTEEN DAYS LOADING and i can never watch them. im not normally one to complain but this just happens to often and it makes me lose my patience. also whenever i would join a party on my phone and try to literally do anything else that has sound on it on my device while in the party, it kicks me out of the it. fix your application please..Version: 22.7.0

Missing feature for PS4 users that PS5 users hasOnly commonly used it for replying to messages but since they announced they’re removing X (Previously called Twitter), it’s limited sharing our experiences. Although it’s only PS5 consoles who only has this feature, it should be considered for PS4 users to have the capture galleries on this app as well so we can easily share experiences via downloading our videos and images rather the complex route of using a USB stick. Please can the developers consider this suggestion for the PS4 community..Version: 23.10.0

Broken. Does not workGood luck signing in or event trying to get a reset email. This trash app no longer works. Delete..Version: 22.4.0

Lack of safety is astonishingPlayStation cannot guarantee the safety of your data, their defences are extremely weak and make it possible to hack it during the least convenient times. But things happen, there’s always support, right? Wrong. Their support team works such short office hours they will not be able to assist you even as you watch your bank account dwindling in real time. The only choice you’ll have is to exist cardless until the workers comes back to their 9-5 job. PlayStation does not seem to care for the feedback they get and keep reducing human contact to minimum. If you’re gonna use an AI, at least give it a bigger range of possibilities..Version: 23.6.5

Fix your appThis app is broken on my iPhone 12 its stuck at the sign in screen, when you press sign in nothing happens 😕.Version: 20.9.5

Practically flawless experience, but capture syncing stopped working inexplicablyAuto upload of captures was a super convenient feature, it allowed me to take a screenshot and quickly share it online. But for a few months now, probably longer, it has not been working as it should be. I do not know how to troubleshoot this, I shouldn’t have to. I look forward to PlayStation/Sony addressing this issue..Version: 24.2.0

My game UNDOWNLOADED ITSELF.My game ( marvels spiderman) has to redownload, and unfortunately i can’t download it again. i don’t even have wi-fi. i have used multiple hotspots and waited for days so it would download along with ALL 3 of the add- ons. this is really frustrating because i have already beat the game and all the add on missions and now i will lose all of my progress. if my playstation is gonna continue to do stuff like this im considering switching to xbox because i don’t have the time or wi-fi for this to keep happening. i waited days for this to download because the game itself was 61 GB. and the add ons were about 5 GB all together. i don’t know what to do at this point and i am beyond frustrated. i play this game almost every day and i love it. if this isn’t fixed by playstation soon then i am giving up on this company and switching to xbox because i can’t afford for this to keep happening. i have invested so much time and money into this company and it can’t even let me atleast keep the games i love..Version: 21.11.2

Missing wishlists and game/achievement sorting/filtering optionsThe new PS5 app feels very archaic and out of touch. It is missing the following: - No wishlist functionality - No ability to sort/filter games and achievements - PS3 & Vita games have been removed from our library!! (Should still be able to see digital purchases and filter by PS3/vita, 100s of games gone) - App doesn’t notify you when new PS Plus games are and when available. - Remote play should be same app instead of needing to install a different app. Accessibility - Backbutton is hard to see, gets lost in on screen elements - Toggles are hard to tell if on or off..Version: 20.9.5

Not a bad app but needs improvementsThis app is good but it needs improvements like if someone invites you to a party, and you don’t have a mic to connect to your controller. This is a repeating problem, but with my suggestion. It’s to add a function of joining your friends party or heck even having a function even having a mic setting and yet you can’t use it. Here’s another improvement that I suggest, Make sure that if you get an invite to the party, you can actually join the party and chat not giving us the option to get a mic. No doing that., just makes it a waste of time. Do the most good thing and do it. Don’t leave the people without mics. Make sure that they get the best gift from you Sony. Do these improvements and you won’t have a BAD rating. That’s why I’m giving Sony and the PlayStation app, a 3.5 stars. If you do these improvements I’ll even give you a 5.5 out of 5 for making the best app. So without furthermore I bid you a farewell..Version: 18.12.0

Not a review of the app it self but more of the PSN network as a wholeThe PlayStation app works quite well, as I’ve encountered few glitches or bugs, though it can be hard to navigate compared to the old way. However there are some issues that I have with the PlayStation Network that apply to this app. First, you can no longer change your cover image from the app, or the website for that matter. I have no idea why they removed this feature as now it’s much more difficult to change the cover image, and it often looks worse because you’re having to take a screenshot of something rather than download the image. Second, Playstation does not allow you to delete shared media so if you post anything, it stays on your profile. This is another feature that seems so obvious to have, as sometimes you post something and later don’t want to see it. Third, when you become friends with someone, you automatically follow them and they follow you back. But if you unfriend them they will still be following you, and you can’t make them unfollow you unless you block them. Once again, it seems only logical to have the ability to control who follows you and who doesn’t but Playstation does not allow you that. If PlayStation could give more freedom to users it would make their network much better..Version: 20.11.1

I AM NOT A ROBOT!!!!How many times do u have to complete that little picture challenge before u can prove u are not a robot?! I’ve completed 10 straight and this app is still testing me because it seems to think i am a robot. So annoying man... fix it.Version: 18.10.0

EhThe problem with all the PlayStation apps is that you have to constant resign into PSN. It’s incredibly obnoxious and makes it pointless to use them over just opening up your PS4. The design of this app is also pretty bad, and it runs poorly..Version: 19.07.01

Horrible captcha puzzlesI had a visual captcha which had 20 puzzles, all of which were largely ambiguous and difficult for a human to figure out. I eventually switched to the audio, which had 10 puzzles but when I managed to get them all right, I came up with a tick and then brought me back to the login page?! I even had another person to help me and even they were absolutely stumped! As a first time playstation owner, this is really leaving a poor experience in my mouth, so please fix your captcha puzzles for crying out loud..Version: 23.9.3

Hate this version of the AppJust opened up the app for the first time in a week to see if any new PSVR apps have been released. First I had to enter my credentials, which is not so bad, but one logged in, the disappointment continued, to such a point that I no longer want to use this app. I use the app from an iPhone X and before I used to go straight to view PSVR games, scroll through them and review ones that take my interest with very little effort, but now, I have to zoom in and out all the time to read stuff, then the screen jumps around and I loose my place. Some kind of options bar drops down from the top filling nearly half the screen and seems difficult to get rid of. The whole look just looks messy with a pictured background that everything else floats across, pleas bring back a solid colour background. Thanks Sony for the worst update ever!.Version: 18.02.0

DisappointingI really don’t like this app as it’s just disappointing they just take out things it already had and make them into other apps for no reason. And they still have not added party chat since the app has released. They really need to add party chat or make a party chat app because this app is basically pointless as you can’t do anything great with it besides check if your friends are online and what there playing or going on PlayStation store or checking trophies. And adding party chat would improve it a lot and get more people to download the app so you can talk to your friends on the go or if you don’t have a mic. The Xbox app is so much better than this app as it has everything including viewing game clips that other people made communities party chat so you can actually talk with friends and you don’t even need our console to be on or anywhere near it as you can create a party in the app and your friends can join from Xbox they also have messages trophy viewing and Microsoft store all in one app and is just a way better app in general. They really need to update this app and add more features and stop making other pointless apps that can be added to this one. And they really need to add party chat..Version: 19.03.1

Room for improvementI hate that the App kicks me out of a party chat if I receive notifications or play videos/music on my iPhone. Makes the phone unusable until you leave the chat. Other than that, some bugs where if you are in a party chat, you cannot go to the App home screen, your stuck on a frozen party chat screen. Happens few times a week. Meanwhile some great positives with its functionality, great to connect to the PS console or use the app when you doing cross play, etc. Hope they address these issues and continue to improve it..Version: 20.11.1

Looks pretty, not nearly as usefulNew version loses a ton of features, no easy way to do account management, assumes you only have one console, no camera for redeeming codes, no easy access to family management.Version: 20.9.5

F””k you PlayStation securityI wish I could give 0 stars for this app but I have to give you f””ckers at least 1 star.Version: 22.4.1

It’s too hard to click anythingThe icon for getting rid of wishlisted items and other things are way to small so I just end up clicking on the game when I want to remove it. It is also just way to slow and laggy for some reason. I have good wifi and it’s always so slow.Version: 19.02.0

3 starsThe app is great but its suuuuuupppppeeeerrrr slow thats why i give 3 stars but pretty sure its gonna get fixed.Version: 21.1.0

Potential to be amazingThis app has had its ups and downs with updates eg broken links, unable to send pictures, its 5 march 2021 those are fix atm, ypu can already send videos from playstation 5 to app would like to be able to do the same with app to messages, the old app also allowed you to look at every photo sent in a message group this does not, thats all can think of atm..Version: 21.2.0

Something wrong with this AppHave to keep deleting & reinstalling app to get it to work! It only works upon installing after set up! Then when it logs you out, nothing happens when I push to sign back in.... so I have to delete and reinstall to get it to work! So far I hate this app even the messaging is confusing! The old ps messenger app was soooo much better!.Version: 20.9.5

Makes no sense at all why this has happenedIts a shame they have decided to change this app to such an extent. It is a total inconvenience to use now, it worked before and all within the one app, literally at the touch of one button. I understand the thought behind giving it a facelift as it has been the same format for quite some time now and it did need a freshen up, however this is far from a minor update, its now an over complicated collection of, i think 4 apps now! meaning the usefulness the former versions provided for many years with success has vanished. I regularly used this app before (most days in fact) and am disappointed that in this current version its pretty useless to me now, its cumbersome, clumsy and untidy work from Sony here, it needs to be ONE app, an updated version of the original format please. Please sort something out soon as poss please as this was a very useful/vital tool for me and many many others. Don't over complicate it with bells and whistles, it just needs to work quickly in the heat of the moment during gaming sessions! I wait in hope. Thanks.Version: 17.11.1

Needs some work.I would have started at 4 stars and then given you 5, but I felt like you wouldn’t fix what I’m asking for. I think the UI is pretty good and works fine on iPhone X and I have few issues with it. BUT, there are 2 things I REALLY want changed and I don’t know if I’m alone here, but I think they would make the experience a lot better. 1.) On the PSN feature of the app, it is confusing to navigate. The part that is confusing is the back button. It is too hard to find and the X button kicks you out of PSN leaving you to start all over. This is annoying esp if you are shopping. 2.) I use the PS Communities app ALOT and I like to post photos. Offline! It would be nice if I could access my photo gallery from my phone, even if it meant being hooked up to WiFi and being in the vicinity of my PS4. Now, is that asking too much? If not, please change this. Thank you!.Version: 18.03.0

Sign-in screen?It’s not a bad app overall. I’m glad they put messaging back into the main app. But it’s been…how many years since Touch ID and Face ID were invented? Yet, Sony still hasn’t figured out a way to have the app connect to either one, and worse, it doesn’t even connect to Apple’s password system. You still have to exit the app, log into whatever password app you’re using, copy and paste the password, go back to the Sony app, etc. PLEASE just make it so that there’s a fingerprint or Face ID scanner within the app’s login field. For a tech company like Sony, it’s been more than enough time for you to figure out how to do this already! Or better yet…maybe stop logging us out constantly on our own phones? This isn’t a banking app; it’s gaming! On an approved device, give us the option to stay logged in. I don’t have to log into Reddit or Pokémon Go every single time I open the app; not sure why I’d have to do it with my PlayStation app..Version: 22.11.0

Don’t waste your time.I was extremely excited about getting this app and being able to upload my captures etc. At first it worked perfectly and then all the problems started. After awhile your captures just stop uploading all together for no reason at all. You can’t delete the captures from your phone if you want to you so you can free up room for other captures. Ive tired looking for multiple solutions, there isn’t any. For how big PlayStation is you would think these issues would be resolved in a swift manner or none existent. If PlayStation fix this problem then this it would easily have 5 stars unfortunately it seems like there won’t be a solution any time soon. Therefore don’t waste your time as one of the main and for me the biggest feature for this app doesn’t work..Version: 23.2.1

UILike the new Ui of app it much simpler than previous app just want sony to add ps3 support as well along side with ps4.Version: 20.9.3

Impossible to get into if you forget informationI forgot my password before logging in and it wants to email me so I can reset it and the email never comes. A month later after trying it finally sends so I can reset my password… or so you’d think. They want the birthday to the account. Which doesn’t accept the correct birthday, after that your stuck with some customer service no one wants to deal with so your best bet is to guess your password although after a few wrong guesses your locked out for a while. Sony sucks.Version: 21.8.0

PS Video ReviewApparently the PS Video app is no longer available because Sony does not care about its customers. I have been a life long PlayStation user and began building a library of movies through their store only to have Sony stop selling movies and television in their PlayStation store. Now viewing my purchased movies is a nightmare. Not only am I unable to download my films to my console but even viewing my films through the trash ps video app is terrible. I downloaded some movies to my phone and the film still has issues loading and will frequently restart my movies rather than picking up where I left off. Sonys handling of videos purchased through PS is hot garbage and leaves loyal customers out to dry. This conduct is a huge middle finger to anyone who has purchased tv and film in their store. The more time that passes the harder it gets to view purchased content. Sadly many of the movies I love were purchased through Sony and PS and I will have to buy them again (definitely not through Sony or any extension of Sony). Sony should do the right thing and offer some form of compensation for discontinuing the services that are needed to view purchased content. I shouldn’t have to stream movies I bought and should be able to download them to my console if I choose to. Even one star for this travesty of an app/service..Version: 22.4.0

Cannot accessApp has started sending me notifications I really couldn’t care less about. I go to log in and it’s personalised recaptcha doesn’t work so I can’t even log in to turn it off. Why fix what wasn’t broken? Glitchy pile of junk which is promptly being deleted. What a ridiculous problem to have.Version: 23.2.1

Poorly designed appThree out of five sections are devoted to what is basically the same thing - PS Store, Putchased games, and Search for Games. Where is the ability to view Activities? I thought interaction with friends was the primary purpose of this app. At least this is what you promised. But when you open it it’s 70% PS store app. Who needs « Purchased games » folder, anyway? It’s obvious that you haven’t thought this through and just made « something ». That gives you one star.Version: 21.3.1

Constant notificationsPlayStation is having a winter sale. I have numerous games on my wish list that are on sale. I’ve received about 50 notifications for the same games, over and over again. Even when I remove them from my wish list. I still get notifications. I’m uninstalling the app. Terrible..Version: 23.11.0

2/5Apart from no full screen web browser, laggy PS4 remote play on the ps5 in conparison to PS5 remote play on the PS4 and no media player on the PS5, I set up a new account because I cannot even change my gamer name and I wanted a name that doesn’t show my surname. And now I learn that I cannot play games that I own on my other psn account… I don’t want my ps5 to be associated with me directly so staying logged in to the old account is a problem but, if you’re fixing systems when will you allow the ability to either transfer purchases or to allow two psn accounts (who have been verified to have the same owner/identity) to use the same content. Sony, if you like wasting peoples time, at least waste the time of those who haven’t invested in your products or you may end up on the boycott list. I also thought that by now, you’d have a built in Bible… apparently not..Version: 23.11.0

Can’t login!!!Every time I try to login it asks me to do a puzzle. You need to complete 8 of these puzzles to login. EVERY TIME I’ve tried it says try again. Then I tried the audio version of the puzzle which also is around 8 puzzles you need to pass. When I complete the puzzle it takes me but to the login screen and loads for a few seconds then does nothing. I’ve been at this for DAYS!!! I’m using an iPhone 15 pro and the latest version of the app. Whoever decided to add those puzzles instead of a simple recapcha must be going through some things..Version: 23.9.3

Give Us Push Notifications Back!!My PS4 notifications are OFF because it seriously annoys me to get pop-ups when I’m playing a game, especially when I’m in an intense fight, in a cutscene, doing Shareplay with a friend or broadcasting. Sony took away the main reason WHY I have the app in the first place; TO GIVE ME PUSH NOTIFICATIONS!!! Not only was it a bad decision, it was STUPID, Sony! I’m not the only one who is absolutely dumbfounded that you did this! The app is deleted until we get Push Notifications returned. Make better decisions based on your customers, NOT your company! Stop being so bloody selfish!.Version: 20.11.1

Fixes NeededGreat to see the app finally getting a major update. With this new release there are some teething problems. When receiving a message you get two notifications. One with the content of the message. A second with a notification that you have a notification - hmmm iPad rotation. I have a keyboard attached and the app is in portrait mode! Come on! The app is design to be layered. So when you’re five pages deep into someone’s profile, their trophy list, you go into one of the games on that list. You have to constantly tap back to get home. Have an ever present home button. You can in fact have two pages of depth and you need to tap backwards on both - this is a horrible concept. You need to rethink this instantly. No profile backgrounds (might be getting removed with PS5) Can’t see Friend Requests Sent Can’t add a message to a friend request to explain why or where you seen them. The app of fast, content seems very well presented within in, no search button in the store tab (there’s universal search though) Navigation needs rethinking the most in my opinion. I hope this helps the developers and anyone else reading..Version: 20.9.3

Fix this please its trying me mad!So out of no where my app is telling me i have 30 notifications by giving me a little red bubble with the 30 and ive got no new notifications. Ive uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and it clearly a glitch because when you click the app it sometimes makes the bubble disappear. Also even when i have the notifications on im still not getting them properly so please fix.Version: 21.1.1

Can’t openI tried to open the app multiple times but it keeps saying an error has occurred please fix this..Version: 18.10.0

Looks great but missing key featuresThe new UI is great. Navigation is smooth, and it’s fairly easy to get around. However, I just skipped the PS Store Black Friday sale because of this app. Why? No Wish List. And no filters in the store. I am new to PlayStation (lifelong gamer elsewhere), and I did hours (HOURS) of research on the best PS-exclusives when I got my console last year. I added all the ones that interested me to the wish list, and that wish list is how I buy games. I previously opened my app, looked at my list, and boom. After spending the last 20 minutes trying to find the Wish List, I realized it simply wasn’t there. I don’t want to spend any more of my day scrolling through countless games, with no easy way (that I can ascertain) to filter games or find a wish list. Please bring back the wish list, and please add easy-to-use filters on the store. Side note- the app seems like a great place to edit and share screenshots and such, but again, no easy way to do so. So much is so right; it can be much better..Version: 20.9.5

This is getting stupid!I don’t know what you guys did with the update, but every time I try to use the camera, the app crashes! And now I can’t even use the other original app to upload a picture. I don’t know if anyone else has this problem, but I’m getting miffed. You need to fix this problem, ASAP, yo. How am I to upload jokes if I can’t use the camera?.Version: 20.9.5

🤔The PlayStation app has lots of good features and helps me know when to play on PC or PlayStation. The big problem is that for user that doesn’t use the PlayStation app very often I often find myself signed out of the PlayStation app every update! Is insanely frustrating because I would love to be able to talk with people that are messaging me through my phone instead of having to turn on the PlayStation but I have to sign in again and again and sometimes my password doesn’t even want to work on here. The worst part about the app is that it’s separated from the other two core features of PSN! Communities and messages are both part of separate apps where as with Discord there are no separate apps for different features. Even Xbox is better than PS in this area. The PlayStation app needs to be turned into one app not three, And the app needs to calm down with its security settings. I’m not hosting a US nuke control server via PlayStation... or am I?.Version: 18.03.0

Too many apps!Its a pretty easy app to use however you usually have to go through many menus to find what you want. The biggest problem is how if you want to do everything this app should let you do you must download 3+ more apps so it turns into a whole folder or half your page dedicated to what they could of put in one app.Version: 17.11.2

Various issuesWhile the app is good for other things such as looking up on your trophies and going onto the store to look at games, the app is horrendous lately for party and messages. Every time I receive a message I’m unable to open it to view as all it keeps telling me is that there’s an error and tells me to try again. I reload it and I still keep getting the same message no matter what I do. I’m up to date with the latest version and regardless of what you try to do all you keep getting is the same error message. I’d recommend that no one installs this as it just seems like a huge waste of time and memory on your phone..Version: 21.2.1

Bad bad experienceConstantly signs you out and you have to sign in almost anytime I open the app. Considering I never do this on my PS4 it’s almost impossible without going through a password reset option. Honestly sort it out. The UI is terribly unresponsive. Build a proper app and stop thing to cut corners! It’s very obvious when using the app.Version: 18.06.0

Update glitches invites on PS4This new update is pretty bad, has added a number of issues in the PS4 system, as well as not being able to add people to your friends list from the invites you receive. It’s extremely annoying, and I’m almost wondering if it would be easier to switch to XBOX. I’ve been an avid ps fan since the ps1, have had every system available. Now it seems like they don’t care about the people playing anymore, or people who stream. Why can’t we use remote play to play from our PS4 and stream the gameplay as a secondary screen to a PC or Mac, to then use things like OBS. Instead you have to connect your controller to the pc, yet be under the same network. Why have the lag when you could just have the controller connected directly to the PS4 pro and stream from the computer without the lag? What’s up with these issues? I’ve contacted Sony support for the PS4 and have gotten the messaging system ended as soon as I ask any question. It’s seeming extremely dishonorable what SONY has done in the past 6-7 years. I’ve even offered to buy the M.A.G. Streams back to create a new game comparable with the PS4-ps5, with no luck, no contact information, and absolutely rude feedback from SONY..Version: 20.9.3

DumbI’m stuck on the email verification page won’t lemme change it to the right email Even tried deleting the app and it’s still just brings me back to the email verification page I can’t do anything to get off the email verification page.Version: 22.2.0

Does not display the Spring Game Collection ProperlyThere seems to be a recent fault when showing games from the PlayStation store. The spring games on offer when you press show all games fails to show the games you just get a black screen on the IPAD AIR3, IPHONE 7 Plus with IOS 14 and if you are lucky it shows a moments glance of the games before going to a black screen. If seems to be a new fault so Sony needs to address this in the new update as it is very handy to look at the games on offer on a mobil device prior to deciding and purchasing new games. This is of quite concern and could effect the sales of games on the PS4 if this problem is left to persist. The recent easy lay out is very easy to follow..Version: 21.2.1

This update is wackFirst of all, what happend to being able to change your cover image? Secondly, viewing profiles arent as detailed as before. Putting in messaging in the app doesnt make up for the fact that this update sucks.Version: 20.9.4

Classic case of form over functionThey have totally over designed this rather than using UI elements Apple gives them that are specifically designed to create a positive UX. As a result, this app is a buggy mess. Notifications don’t clear, chat feeds don’t update properly, trying to compose a message is a total disaster (worse than any app I’ve ever used), and so on. For the love of god just use the tools Apple has given you. They’re much better at this stuff than you and they give you all these tools so apps are consistent, intuitive experiences. This app is currently about as far from that as you can get..Version: 21.1.1

Convenient but slow and buggyIt’s nice being able to check messages, see trophies, manage points and collectibles, see what friends are up to, and look at stats like the amount time a game has been played for. But the app is crazy slow and buggy compared to modern apps. It takes one to three minutes to load. This is absurd. Abysmal. Embarrassing. Trying to message someone real quick? 30 seconds for it to stop bugging out enough for you to tap the messages button (longer if it gives you an in app notification first). 30-60 seconds to scroll down and open the message. 15s for the keyboard to come up. 15-30s for the message to send. And don’t you dare try to click back to the main menu, because that’s at least another minute. Sure, these times are not technically very long. But compared to, say, discord, which gets it done in a fraction of the time…it’s just embarrassing for Sony..Version: 23.11.0

HonestlyWhy does it keep signing me out? I lost my account because I forgot my password and that it signed me out. Honestly this is dumb. And now I am making a new account and that won’t even work. I’ve lost more hair and brain cells from this than trying to teach my mentally ill little brother who has the same intelligence and my little sister who is 6.Version: 21.2.1

Awesome some of the timeWants me log in out of the blue Pressing the login button doesn’t do anything Worked fine up until now.Version: 21.1.1

Really hard to search for gamesThe searching engine needs some improvements. The basic search tends to miss keywords and show the wrong games, especially when titles have multiple versions (I.e if I type assassins creed iii , I get first 10 of the latest assassins creed games before the actual assassins creed iii ). Additionally, in the search function there doesn’t seem to be able to filter games from add on packs, levels, characters, season passes etc. so, often, you end up with a long list of useless entries making the search frustrating. Finally, results that are not supported for my console (ie ps5 only versions) should be hidden from the results by default, and visible only on demand...Version: 22.9.0

Horrible reliabilityEvery time I use this app there is something wrong. Payment doesn’t work, screen is blank. Really irritating for a company that makes technology.Version: 21.1.0

It’s… okayThe app is passable but is quite laggy no matter the connection speed. Additionally the download to console feature is totally random for if it will work. Sometimes it will be fine, other times it will either do nothing or will actually work but the app will show no feedback to indicate as so. Finally, at least for my phone (iPhone 8 Plus) it crashes constantly. Using the app for more than a couple of minutes or going back it after using other apps for a while is guaranteed to crash immediately..Version: 23.5.1

A nice change but a few steps backwardsA nice change for sure as the old app was getting a little outdated. Pluses - Interface looks really nice and organized well. Setup is easy and overall a nice update from the previous app. Minuses - Portrait mode on the iPad has been removed. This is a big bummer as using an iPad Pro 12.9 in portrait mode for browsing and typing is a awkward. Not sure why that feature was removed. All iPad apps should support both orientations. Also, they removed the ability to add favorites from the online store. This was a great feature as you could essentially add a bookmark to a game or games you may want to purchase in the future. On the Nintendo Switch not only can you favorite games but they’ll let you know when those games go on sale, which is really nice. Overall a nice start but needs some improvement to make it really great..Version: 20.9.3

Constant authentication issuesI use a password manager, so I can log in to the website just fine and dandy, and you know I’m not using the wrong password. Now, if I try to log in to this app using the same password, it says authentication error. So therefore the app is completely unusable..Version: 22.8.0

New change sucksI don’t like how you can’t see who you played before. it’s stupid! The change was unnecessary! I liked how ps4 was before it tells you everything!!! !!!! Now it’s all about purchases and THEM making money . They shouldn’t have changed it in my opinion.Version: 20.9.5

The puzzle system to loginI’ve never had an issue with this app until today, I went to sign in and now I have to complete ten different puzzles just to enter??? What a joke! I literally have been trying for a good ten minutes and nup not happening, just send me a ****** text message or something other then this ridiculous verification system..Version: 23.9.3

PlayStation Is a ScamIf I knew my first amendment rights were going to be violated without a hearing of either side, having robots that are the “best” at looking at detail while a report is in, and it doesn’t matter if one is reported first after also the other sending links to hack my account and also acts like he is a minor. And then there isn’t a way to appeal the fact it’s a short amount of days… but it’s something I paid to use. I pay a monthly fee. So this removal of some days should be refunded. But there isn’t also a way to call them or start a Robot chat. The app is honestly trash. Use the crap console instead of this app. Use the trash plastic junk Until it either sounds like it’s finna explode or it just doesn’t work because honestly it’ll be outdated once ps69 comes out. Honestly the developers of this could’ve been used to fix the gaming community and the toxicity. Maybe separate the age gap in matches and less cross play because fps is another issue. but instead heres a app that is honestly like, there’s better phone calls apps then this. It’s also weird how they go back and fourth with the message app which is also trash. For whoever who doesn’t have a McDonalds drive through headset use it, but honestly use a different app or switch to pc or crap Xbox..Version: 23.4.0

AnnoyingI’m having problems where I’m not getting notifications so I can’t see the messages and the party invitations. How do I fix this?.Version: 23.11.0

App stops uploading Share media.App stops transferring media from the console after a short time of regular usage. After testing around with some friend’s PS apps we’ve come to the conclusion that PS wants you to get habituated to using the app to share. But then, PS stops loading the media to the app quite abruptly. The use of only the “Share” and “PS App” is incredibly convenient, but Sony gathers little in the way of data during that exchange. They want you to link your Twitter and YouTube accounts to continue to share as that opens up a much larger data trove for these companies to exploit. By making the app stop uploading your shares, it forces you to share your videos and images directly to an intermediary, in this case YouTube and/or Twitter, and in the process gathers a wealth of user data they simply couldn’t have access to if you only used the “Share” function and “PS app” to get the media off your console. This problem is pervasive. Just search and you’ll find it’s been going on for years with no solution from PlayStation customer service. That’s because this is not a glitch, it’s baked into the functionality of PS app. Never forget, your data is worth money. So PS doing this media transfer service for free is only meant to get you in the door. Then they pull the rug out and you’re forced to link these accounts to share. A workaround to this is to use an external HD or USB, but it’s not nearly as convenient as the instant console to app sharing the app initially offers. Linking to Twitter and YouTube is also not as convenient, but it’s still faster than the USB method. It’s a disappointment all around from a company that already asks way too much of its user-base. Really shady of you Sony..Version: 22.11.1

App is absolutely horrendous!Hello, I want to give this a 1 star review because of the quality of this app. First of all, whenever you enter a Playstation Party, your mic is absolutely horrendous! Your friends can barely hear you. The audio also is very bad and cuts out from time to time and I absolutely hate how you can’t speak while playing mobile games or watching a video. Please fix this..Version: 22.2.0

Getting kicked from party when going on another appReally good and useful app but whenever I play e.g Minecraft it kicks me out the party chat and sometimes the ps4 app is the only thing I use to communicate to the friend/person so I can’t play with them while I’m talking. Also sometimes when I want to vibe to music/Spotify or watch YT while talking to my friends every time I load in the app (Spotify/YT) it kicks me out the party which really annoys me so I have to go and get my other phone and listen and watch things on there and the only apps it hasn’t kicked me out of is Instagram and a few of the games I play like COC (clash of clans).Version: 21.4.0

PS Store browserThe back button doesn’t work anymore, if you press a game to look at you can’t go back to the previous page. Very annoying especially when trying to add the PS plus monthly games to the cart, you have to go back to the page from the start and can’t just go back and forth and add all the games to the cart. Please fix the back button, it used to work a few months ago..Version: 18.08.0

Some important things missing.Please can we have a landscape view for ipad. I have an iPad pro and it sits on the keyboard in landscape format so I can’t use the app on the ipad cos I can’t be bothered to remove my ipad from the keyboard to use the app. Last thing, where are wishlist items, the most important feature in the library is missing. The wishlist is only on my ps5 but i like to browse and buy games on my computer or ipad, now I’ve lost track of my entire wishlist, I don’t remember what I wanted to buy. Please put back the wishlist on the website and iOS app. I spend more money this way because I remember what I wanted to buy..Version: 20.11.1

Don’t bother buying games hereWhy did you take away the ability to sort games in the store by release date? Or any other criteria for that matter? Do you not want people to buy games anymore? It sure seems like it. This applies to the PS5 UI too by the way. I really don’t want to see the best selling games and have no way of changing the sorting. In fact, I find myself not browsing for new games at all anymore. I used to buy games all the time on impulse, but now I never do because you have made it so hard to find new games and add-ons. Great job Sony! I hope you are compensating indie developers somehow since you obviously only want people to see the most popular games that everyone already has on the storefront in the app and on PS5. Like for real, maybe let people choose how they want PSN games sorted. The way it is now is total trash and I can promise your losing money because you have made it so hard to look for new releases now. I guess you are selling so many new systems you don’t even care. Cheers! I’ll add this to the growing number of apps that are now less functional for the sake of a new slick user interface. Good designers apparently are in short supply these days in the App world. I’ll pray for you..Version: 21.3.1

Much better than it used to be, but seriously rough around the edgesAs title says: really rough around the edges. The store pages are missing search or filter functions so you end up just endlessly scrolling unless you go to the specific ‘search’ page. The messaging.. it does everything it should, you can send and receive messages to individuals and groups. However, quite often the messages don’t update unless you fully close and reopen the app. Pictures and videos shared directly into the group often don’t update properly and then when you eventually can watch them, you can’t actually rotate them, so you’re watching landscape videos on a portrait phone, which isn’t an ideal viewing experience. As a good thing: being able to remotely tell my console to boot up into or download a specific game is fantastic (when it works) This app is a great improvement on what it used to be. But as I say, it’s rough around the edges..Version: 20.11.1

Getting Worse and Worse.The latest iteration is dreadful to use on a tablet and a significant step backwards in comparison to previous versions in general usability terms..Version: 17.11.1

Crashes everytime I open itThe app doesn’t even work for a billion dollar company this shouldn’t be a problem.Version: 21.1.0

Fix costumer serviceMy friend and I told me to game share. I said yes like a good friend would because him and I need each other games. While i was gonna give him my account my PlayStation signed me out, because i have like 5 passwords and i signed me out on my (I think) 3rd try. After i found out what my password was my Playstation was bugging out and being hard to control. So what a normal person like me would do is go to customer service and talk to this Bot. The bot did almost nothing but self check myself. After this I verified my e-mail and my Playstation said I didn’t verify my e-mail. So then I waited for 2hours thinking i was locked out of my playstation, because it provided information saying “You could be either locked or not verified” I assumed that was the cause. Me and my friend always had problems but this has never happened before. Then again my friend got signed out twice before and lost his account and he wasted more than 100$ on his playstation. #WhatAWaste #FixYourProvidence.Version: 21.4.0

Not as good as it used to be!The app itself has grown as far as U.I. For example, the Playstation Store is now easier to navigate and find, such as most everything in the app, but I give it such a low rating because, for me, the past version of this app had two really important features that kept me using this app often. The first feature is the where it allows you to turn on and off your PlayStation while connected to the same Wi-Fi as your PlayStation. I used to always do this when I was too lazy to get up and turn it off while I was laying in bed on my phone, but now this feature is gone. Not only this, but another feature with the ability to text other players and friends is gone as well. They have another app for these features, but it would be such an inconvenience to download two different apps to do the same thing you used to be able to do in one app, and thus this justifies my rating of the app. One star for one feature plus one extra star for the importance of the features..Version: 17.11.1

2nd Screen???Can you fix second screen instead of something that doesn’t need fixing.Version: 18.10.0

Ridiculously poor user experienceThe single most frustrating company to deal with in every aspect. Genuinely shocking to me that anyone would sign off on the work done. The “prove you’re a human” puzzle was so time consuming and needlessly complicated that I lost any and all interest in even attempting it further after it bugged and rejected clearly correct responses. Genuinely so aggravating, let alone trying to get any kind of customer service support..Version: 23.9.3

A sad, pathetic joke - Now even worseThe new app is, to put it mildly, pathetic. Putting messaging back into the main app IS a good idea. Unfortunately, they’ve changed the name from PS messaging to “well, that didn’t work.” Purely apart from the fact that they’ve stripped even more functionality from the app so that it now shows virtually nothing, it now appears that Sony have, once again, forgotten that there’s a thing called an “iPad” that works really well in landscape mode. Which this app doesn’t. NOTE FOR ALL NEW USERS WHO THINK THIS APP IS GOOD: Once upon a time, Sony had a PS4 app that worked reasonably well. Not perfectly, but reasonably well. Note that I said “A PS4 app”. Yes, ONE app that did everything. Then some moron decided that they would split it into two apps. Then three apps. Then four apps. And none of them are of any use. To get part of what you got in a SINGLE app, you now have to switch between four apps. ALL of which forget that you’ve used them before and force you to sign in again. With two factor authentication. Which fails two times out of three. Yes, I said PART of what you got in the single app. All four together have LESS functionality than the single app had. Personally, I think one star is being pretty generous. Put it back as a single, usable app and you might actually show that you care a tiny bit “for the players” instead of “for the payers”.Version: 20.11.1

Looks great, buuut pretty disappointed1st, there is no wishlist. I don’t know why the felt like this feature was unnecessary. Having a wishlist actually got me to spend MORE money. Now if there’s a game I’ve been waiting to go on sale, I just have to remember which game it was in the first place and scroll through all the deals to probably not find it anyways. It was a nice way to have a list of all the games I thought looked interesting that I might pick up someday. But nope. It’s already hard to find indie games on here so if you come across one you might pick up, you’d better write it down somewhere. Makes me think they want to make it harder to get deals so they can get people to pay full price more often. 2nd, it’s glitchy. I’ve put 3 games in my cart, but when I try to pull up the cart it’s just a blank screen. Like nothing on it. In conclusion, it looks nice. It’s easier to scroll through. But I don’t really think they have the consumer as the priority right now. It seems more like they care about the look and pushing the Triple A titles. I hope there are updates that make improvements because PlayStation has always been my go to..Version: 20.9.4

Mostly goodI like the app apart from the fact that the notifications can’t be marked as seen without going into every individual one. Also my parties don’t sync between my phone and my iPad, and I’m completely unable to start parties on the iPad all together.Version: 20.11.1

“The network connection has been lost”I am unable to open the app! When I first installed the PlayStation app, it worked fine. But for some reason, it has stopped working, and both this app and the messages app does not open. I am, for some reason, getting PlayStation notifications for invites and such, but when I attempt to open the app, the following message appears: “The network connection has been lost”. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times, but it still refuses to open. Please help! Would definitely give 5 stars if this gets fixed! :D.Version: 17.11.2

Horse sh1tThis app is absolute horse sh1t i can’t even sign in cause the app glitches when i do my password which is put in correctly and it won’t log me in I’ve had to changed my password over 5 times.Version: 22.1.0

Old app did some things better!I really like the look of the new redesigned app and that it includes PS Messages, no need for separate apps anymore.... However.... PS Messages seems to have taken steps backwards, in the old PS Messages app any screenshots/pictures posted in your message groups could be zoomed in on and/or device rotated to enlarge in landscape so you could actually make out what’s going on in screenshots and it actually looked good because let’s face it... screenshots posted in message groups look terrible when viewed on the PlayStation itself! The app was the only way to see a good quality version of the screenshots. However with this new app it is no longer possible to zoom in on posted screenshots or rotate device to enlarge in landscape view, instead if you want to actually make out what’s going on in screenshots you currently have to download them to your device photo album, minimise the PS app, open up your album, find the screenshot/s and open them in your devices photo viewer to be able to zoom in/rotate to see the screenshot properly! It’s a really stupid oversight, especially since Sony is pushing the whole share your experiences thing!.Version: 21.1.0

Activities FeedPlease bring back the activities feed!.Version: 21.1.1

PS4 appI had the app set up with my account for a awhile and one time I tried to open the app and my account wasn’t signed in i put in the wrong email on accident and now someone else’s account is showing up and I can’t quit out of it or anything and I used one of my emails so someone else is using that? Now I can’t use the app because it has another account and I can’t quit out there is no “this is not me” button which I recommend.Version: 19.02.0

Finally the update it needed. Took long enough.I wrote in a previous review that this app seriously needed an overhaul and update, because compared to the Xbox app, it was abysmal. Hard to use, constantly crashing, poor store access and many other defects that just made the app pointless. Now though, this much needed update is a breath of fresh air. So much easier to navigate and once people get used to it, I’m sure that it will get better. However, the biggest downvote for me, is the fact they haven’t given it landscape mode when using an iPad. What were you thinking, or was that not?? It makes accessing the store completely difficult, because the store doesn’t change to an accessible function in portrait mode, meaning you have to scroll around to see what’s in it. I will give it one extra star from 2 stars but unless landscape gets added, I’m going to be using it less and less overtime. Compared to the Xbox app, it’s still lacking in usability. It’s a great step forward, but not enough..Version: 17.11.2

PlayStation Doesn’t Care About Its CustomersI am a long time PlayStation consumer. I’ve had the 1st PlayStation and stayed with PlayStation instead of going to Xbox to date. Which tells you a lot about my next statement, PlayStation DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THIER CUSTOMERS. When it comes to interacting with customers even at the simplest level of good business, PlayStation gets an F. As disheartening as this is, PlayStation has not even the slightest care about making right of any customer complaints( unless of course the disgruntled customer has a large platform or following where a negative review from this particular customer could result in a large enough decline in money for it to matter). As for the millions of average gamers, forming the main source of PlayStation's profits, our complaints are like echos of a ghost, crying out to the life it no longer has; never to be answered. So in conclusion, I urge EVERY customer, GET AN XBOX. It’s way easier to talk to somebody, ANYBODY, about issues you have with their service(including tech maintenance) and ACTUALLY getting satisfactory results from the company. PLAYSTATION HAS BECOME GREEDY EMOTIONLESS ROBOTS, WITH GREED ACTING AS AN ACTION, NOT AN EMOTION..Version: 23.11.0

Can’t Buy GamesOverall the app looks great aesthetically. However any game I attempt to buy keeps giving me an error saying unable to add to cart. Running latest version of iOS..Version: 20.9.4

Improvements NeededI like PlayStation BUT I would like to edit/delete a child’s profile and I can’t which I absolutely hate. This needs to be fixed. Parents/adults should be able to remove/edit the child’s info. To be honest I prefer Xbox cause of things like this 🙄.Version: 22.7.0

SlowThe app is so bugged out and slow. Makes using it not a good time.Version: 21.2.1

IOS 13Please make a version for those that do not have iOS 13. This is very annoying having you lose my app just because of an iOS change..Version: 22.4.1

0% trophiesWe wants the delete button back on the app so that we can delete games that have 0% trophies. I no longer have those games and I want to get rid of them since I don’t have any trophies for those games but can’t delete them without the delete button. Bring back the delete button so we can delete games with 0% trophies.Version: 18.03.0

Reduced functionalityThis app is an absolute downgrade having had key features removed as opposed to improved: 1) PS newsfeed - no way to review friends’ game activities on phone anymore. 2) trophy compare 3) easy format to review games where players have obtained platinum trophies.Version: 20.9.5

MehThey shouldn’t have changed the app, I can’t even look at my wishlist now, and its so clunky. Also I can’t look at the Black Friday deals, the screen goes white and the app crashes.Version: 20.9.5

Okay but add clipsOverall the app is pretty good, you can access your friends and see what they are up to which is pretty nice. The only thing this app needs to add is a feature where you can access your clips just like the Xbox App. I will now proceed to delete this app as it is a waste of space until they add this. What annoys me the most about this lack of feature, is that earlier I filmed some clips of my building on Fortnite and forgot to record them. I need to quickly get them to my phone but I cannot log back onto my PS4 until tomorrow so now I have to wait which really annoys me. I hope you guys see this and take action on the feature or maybe make an extra app called ‘PS4 Gallery’ or something.Version: 18.12.2

Pathetic app!Although I love having messaging integrated, I prefer the functionality of the old apps, the only saving grace for me is the ability to use the iPhone to join a party but it’s hardly ever needed. Firstly, why is it I’m only receiving a banner & sound notification for half of the alerts I get? If someone starts a party or invites me I need to know about it! Never had this issue with the message app. What is up with the back button? It keeps changing location with different menu’s & doesn’t work half the time, it’s actually quicker to kill the app & restart. If I’ve viewed all new messages then why on earth leave the ‘notifications’ icon highlighted & consequently the badge icon until I specifically go into the notifications section to clear both??? You removed filters & sort options from the store? Are you kidding me?!? I’ve literally given up searching for a random cheap game to buy as I simply don’t have the time to sort through page after page after page instead of just being able to sort by cheapest price or highly rated, yet again you limit capabilities (in what I can only assume is to reduce maintenance time fixing all of your poor implementations) only to lose more sales. Not only that, it takes several seconds to load the next lot of like 10 images...seriously?!? Clap, clap for Sony!!.Version: 21.1.0

Became worse with the new redesignYou guys made everything harder to browse now, in the old design there was a carousel where you can easily view all your recent trophies and their details, now to see the trophies details you need to open them one by one. Also the back button is not working, so when you are in the store, with some search criteria and you have gone through some pages then opened a product, there is no way to return back to where you left off in the search results or even the normal paging, you have to return back to the original listing and start over. Also an app that just hosts a browser to view the store is slow versus a native store browser inside the app..Version: 17.11.1

Too hard to verifyI’ve solved their stupid puzzles 14 times and it still won’t let me in..Version: 23.10.0

Please fix the Back buttonOn the whole it’s not a bad app, but with the ‘Back’ button inoperable it is a nightmare to use. The operation of just adding the handful of PS Plus games to cart takes three times the clicks it should because after adding each game to the cart you need to return to the main menu for PS plus, click on free games again. It used to work so not sure what’s happened - I’d give it 4 stars if this worked as it used to. Edit - 8 months on and still no fix for the back button when browsing PS store through the app. Come on developers!!.Version: 19.05.0

The absolute worst messaging app ever createdThis app is trash! Takes forever to load anything, photos don't work half the time and there is no zoom option, when you leave a party you remain in the message chat which is another 4 steps to leave that, there is no easy message delete option, no quick option to kick players from chats.. its bad enough they record everything but to put out an app that’s so pathetically worthless, it’s inspiring me to get a pc.Version: 21.1.0

Horrific Confusing UI ExperienceThere was nothing wrong with the old app layout, same with the old web store. This new system is ugly, cluttered, and (intentionally?) confusingly laid out. It’s very difficult to search for and specific content in. Worst of all, I can’t find a shopping cart or wish list option anywhere. Also, WHERE IS MY PS3 and VITA CONTENT?!? It seems specifically designed for browsing and impulse buys..Version: 20.9.4

Internet problemsHi PlayStation idk y ur internet service keeps going down but for anyone out there buying a console don’t buy PlayStation seriously learn to fix ur network or some people probably need to be fired from the job because it’s ridiculous and annoying fingers cross u guys aren’t lazy idiots and actually read this I couldn’t play with my friend because if ur lazy asses I hate people on this community bad service and when people report a message and it’s not even bad u guys still ban it that’s a poor service I think all of u should be fired not kidding.Version: 19.10

Needs WorkI would have given this a 4 star at least, but it definitely loses one as a result of how SLOW AND LAGGY the app itself is. It’s so frustrating to be in party chat when you have to click the mute icon about 3 times in order for it to register. Moreover, the share screens take a year to flip when turning your phone horizontally, and the screen remains black on the share screen for a good 5 or so seconds before it decides to display the stream. When pulling up the volume slider for an individual party mate, the tab goes so high up it overlaps with other on screen icons like the battery icon on the iphone. In this state it struggles to minimize whenever you hit the ‘x’ icon to cancel the window. There’s a slew of other functions that need to be refined. The idea of everything they have on here is great, and I’m in chat with friends every night while at work. Fixing the latency would allow for a pleasant experience as everything allowed on the app so far is very useful..Version: 23.11.0

GarbageThis app is absolutely horrible! I will not recommending it, nor will I continue for the 6th time to do your pathetic verification process. How dumb do your designers and developers have to be to make someone go through the verification puzzle 8 times. What kind of idiots design a verification system that makes you rotate a cartoon animals in the direction of fingers pointing and the right puzzle has to be on the animals head. I mean c,mon you idiots don’t have any regard for the consumer do you. Waist of oxygen the lot of you..Version: 23.9.3

No way to view clips/screenshotsI’ve been through all PlayStation apps and haven’t seen this and honestly the amount of times I’ve wanted to show people clips without access to my psn profile is annoying, it’s such a simple thing and yet it’s something many people would appreciate and yet it doesn’t exist, please find a way to do this because it would make many people happy.Version: 18.12.1

A complete failure of an appWhen it works it was still clunky and inefficient (the way you accessed the store felt like logging in twice - which many times needed to be done for real). However biggest gripe is that apart from sporadic periods of working, the app almost never opens on my iPhone 6s+ or iPad Pro (9.7). All updated with latest iOS. What a joke... for all the money we pay for PSN plus you would think they could work out a stable app. Also the error messages that come up don’t appear on any online error log. Wonderful..Version: 18.03.0

Cant redeem points. Wasting time and real money.I just wanna redeem the points I’ve earned. I do actually spend money on my own account buying games, add-one, etc. and even do the campaigns for the collectibles and occasional 50 points. But since the wrap-up or October 2023, I have been having non stop issues with just the app. It crashes if you go to more than 5 links guaranteed. Even if one is you going back to previous screen. Example: I open app, click on STARS icon if it’s there (oftentimes its blank), then click rewards, scroll down to select a $10 card, next it goes to white screen and crashes. Or it takes me to redeem screen. I select redeem, white screen and crash. Or I get option to enter password, then crashes while keyboard is up. Even redeeming the free 0points wrap-up collectible took me weeks before I was able to get it today with same steps. But directly afterwards, cant redeem anything else..Version: 23.11.0

MehhThe design is good but the app is super slow and very laggy. Plus it keep logging me out of my account almost every time I close it :/.Version: 21.1.1

Logging inThis app is useful when it comes to checking notifications wherever and getting photos/videos of your gameplay. But there is one big problem thag I personally have run into countless time; the login. It either says my email is wrong or my password is, and I know you might think “just re enter it, it’s probably wrong.” No, it isn’t. I have been logged out for no reason when trying to update my profile photo, and when I try to get back in it sends an email with a photo that never loads. The photo itself is god knows what, it won’t show anything but a small “?”. I have called the PS support number MANY times to no answer no matter when I call. This has been a problem for months, there is nowhere to make a report for my problem, and the number used on your website only leads to me getting hung up on..Version: 23.8.0

Issue with signing inEvery time I try sign in no matter how many times I try. Apparently it can’t connect to the server. Please fix this.Version: 23.10.0

AwfulEvery update makes it worse. Just admit it, like your customer service in Scotland, you just don’t care, huh? Did you try to purposefully make your app even worse than it already was!? As you succeeded. You would be better off intentionally downloading a virus. That’s how bad this app is..Version: 19.05.0

Good UI but voice chat annoys meTo start this review I love the UI and features the new update has, and I think it was a lot better compared to the one one. my problem comes when I try to join a voice chat on my phone. I have tried multiple times to use a wireless headset connected to my phone in order to use the voice chat feature but the app doesn't seem to support that function so I'm forced to use earbuds or my speaker in order to talk to someone on the voice chat. I find this incredibly annoying that the app, which is made for phones in order to be easy to use, does not let me use the audio device of my choice to communicate via voice chat. I don't think I should have to be forced to use specifically earbuds on the app when I prefer to use my Bluetooth headphones which have better audio quality. It would be nice for the voice chat feature to be more accessible when it comes to what audio devices you can use with it..Version: 20.9.4

GreatNice update, you screwed up landscape mode. Have one star.Version: 21.1.1

Looks good but no landscape modeI find this app useless to use alongside my PlayStation since they have taken away landscape mode I can’t prop my iPad up. I only ever used the previous version in landscape and found it quite useful..Version: 17.11.2

Poor UXDear developers, There are a least two horrible bugs 1. Auto fill for login and password doesn’t work with the keychain - when I click on the suggestion above the keyboard after the Face ID verification nothing happens, both fields are empty 2. Cannot buy games with PayPal, I see a messages that it should be done via browser and nothing happens.Version: 19.07.01

Erm what the heckSo basically i was literally just in the app trying to cancel my playstation plus subscription FOR LIKE THE FIFTH TIME? bc it wont cancel it and the money keeps coming out my account. and i’m just doing my thing and then it tells me error so i restart the app. AND IT SIGNS ME OUT? LIKE GUYS WHAT R U DOING PLS???? i’m just trying to cancel my subscription like i get it u don’t want me too bc u guys want the money but come on now. so i try to sign back in and it’s telling me i’m signing in on a different device when i’ve logged on with this device for ages… can u guys like update u app pls bc wth r u doing..Version: 23.8.0

NotificationsNotifications don’t come through when they are supposed to and the badges don’t go away showing you have multiple notifications when you actually have none..Version: 20.11.1

What the hell?While reincorporating PS Messages, this new redesign completely obfuscated or flat-out removed general PSN account and store functionality. Where is my wishlist? What’s my wallet balance? Why are store tiles untitled—and how am I meant to guess the difference between these 3 identical ones with different (or sometimes the same!) prices?? Why aren’t there rating stars, let alone reviews, on store listings? Why don’t my trophies appear when viewing a “Played” game? Why FOR THE LOVE OF GOD can I not even make trailer videos FULL SCREEN, let alone push them via AirPlay? Why do most store list pages not have any (or only poor) sort or filtering options? How can I find new people near me (or even just in my country)? Why did Sony bother with this abysmally poor UX of an app rewrite? (bonus question: why is “Second Screen” still a separate app?).Version: 20.11.1

Listen to the complaintsYour loosening ppl and if you don’t fix the complaints so my advise is to read and fix the peoples complaints and stop ignoring them btw i still cannot sigh in on ps5 i just reset my pass for google typed it in and it did not work i tried getting costumer service and no one is there to help me reset my pass now im still struggling to reset my pass don’t make me say the f word cuz i will if yall don’t take responsibility for ppl complaints im very disappointed 😔 with you sony and i just never touched the ps5 in sooo long cuz there is no one to help me and get support now im by my self doing all of this alone gl sony better watch out.Version: 23.11.0

Worst “update” ever!BUYER BEWARE: I bought almost $100 worth of WB Games on sale for PS4 via this app and it took my money but didn’t add the games to My Library, I have to actually search the games on the PlayStation Store for PS4 and download from there, which means not only much more inconvenient but also when the games get delisted like most games do I will lose them for good, I’m at the mercy of what’s currently offered on the PS4 Store just because I bought through the mobile app while my PS4 was turned on and logged in. This also happened to me on my old account when I bought the complete Call Of Duty: Black Ops III bundle via this app, so the problem repeats, not just a 1 time thing. Everyone should buy and download directly from the console instead from now on to avoid this infuriating error. Also no longer can you buy, download, or manage great legacy PS games; PS3, PSVita! Know your roots, respect the system that INTRODUCED PS Trophies: PS3! Deleting this trash PS App!.Version: 21.5.1

Poor qualityWhen I first started using the PlayStation app it worked very well because I would only use it to check which of my friends were online when I was away. Now however I want to be able to look at what I have clipped on my PlayStation to be able to show people. But sadly that is not a feature on the PlayStation app. Another thing is that PlayStation makes 5 different apps (messages, second screen, vue, the actual PlayStation app and communities) when all these could just be one app. On top of this is have 3 of the above apps and every time there is a update I have to log back in on all 3 apps and go through 3 different spam tests which are just downright annoying. Finally when I go to access the PlayStation store I am taken to a website that for the most part is hard to work and confusing. In the end until Sony makes a better app that works well on iPhones and is all one big app I and many other users will be forced have limited use..Version: 18.10.0

When messaging, would be nice to see the messageI get no notifications from my phone. If someone responds to me while I’m in the app, looking at the message thread, I will see them respond on my TV, but the message will not show up in the app until I shut it down and re-open. If people don’t or can’t use the mic, PlayStation has made it infinitely more difficult to stay connected. If this changes, I will change my review.Version: 21.1.0

BuggyGames I’ve never played show up on my profile. Those games are on the console, played by my spouse in his account. And those games show up on my ps app as recently played with zero progress. Except I haven’t played them at all..Version: 22.4.1

Captures aren’t workingI’d love to use the features on this app for sharing content from my games with friends, but, honestly, it’s in a sorry state. It is incredibly inconsistent with uploading screen caps and video clips, even under 20 seconds long. Trying to save or download media sent even by myself through the PlayStation Messages feature proves pointless, as the only option that exists is to delete said screen cap/video clip. No option on the PlayStation 5 itself to directly upload to the app. The only sure-fire way is spending several minutes using a USB-drive to import to computer, and then to phone. Not the worst task in the world to accomplish by any means, but having the app function seamlessly with game captures would make the all around experience much easier and less of a hassle. App’s interface has a clean appearance at least, but please work on the captures feature 🙏.Version: 23.1.2

Could have improvementsThere should be a way to watch download progress remotely.Version: 18.05.0

Great app but no push notificationsI downloaded this app on my Google Pixel and it worked very well, sending me notifications when games were downloaded and such. However, ever since I downloaded it onto my iPhone, I haven’t been getting the same push notifications. It’s really disappointing because I’ve turned on push notifications in the app and in my phone settings and haven’t been able to receive updates on my downloads and stuff. If anyone know how to fix or if they could fix that would be great thanks.Version: 23.3.0

Push Notifications bugged, Support NonexistentAll support contacts are generic and nothing references my issue, or offers any solution (beyond stopping push notifications altogether) - whenever a game I’ve wishlisted AT ANY TIME IN THE PAST (eg not currently on my wishlist) goes on sale, I get a notification about that game every 10 minutes for the duration of the sale. I had Doraemon SoS on my list about a year ago for my niece, until she became distracted by another piece of media - and the spam notifications for this game have been relentless. RE4, RDR2, both I already own. Ryza 3 currently on my list - if the game has at any point been on my radar, it’s in the spin of eternal notifications. Turned off Wishlist Update notifications - still getting the Wishlist spam. Had to turn off all notifications to end the nightmare, but it means I don’t get community updates & messages like I was using the app for previously. It seems to be a ridiculously rare issue you likely won’t encounter, but I’d be wary about how empty the support options are for anything out of the most generic and common issues - it’s seemingly nonexistent, and it’s made the app mostly unusable for me..Version: 23.11.0

TO SONY!!!!!!The verification puzzle is the worst!!!!! Everytime I go to sign in I need to complete a puzzle, the puzzle is you have to use the arrows to line the animal up to it facing the same direction as the hand, but there is two and they both have an image on top of there heads and it says to line the animal up with the hand that is matching the image to the animal, very confusing and terrible. Please remove it!!!! And change it to something else.Version: 23.9.3

A slight improvement but this app is not Next-Gen!I was really looking forward to a new app with the new generation PS5. While this app has improved it is only marginal and is extremely disappointing. The main reason I use the app is for family management to ensure my kids are only on it during certain times and for fixed durations. The first big miss is the lack of fingerprint recognition to stop the constant logins every time you want to use family management. The app is also very slow and it is not easy to find the functions you need. This app has clearly not been tested in focus groups or in market research. You should be able to set favourite tiles to quickly go to the areas you use the most, in fact, in a next gen console, this should happen automatically using AI or at the very least machine learning. Sony, you really need to work hard on this to deliver the user experience we should be able to expect..Version: 20.9.5

Worried for the future of the platform.The removal of PSP, PS3 and PSVita games from the ps store and the library has me weary about the future of my PlayStation backlog. While I’m happy to finally have a catalogue beyond the awful “download list” their omission seems to only herald the inevitable removal of my PS4 backlog. It is ironic that these legacy platforms have been axed since this app has a truly ugly 2006 aesthetic that could have launched beside the PS3..Version: 20.9.3

Confusing timesMade everything difficult now Go here go there download this that Just for one stupid profile picture.Version: 19.15

Can’t use the app anymoreI have iOS 5 and can’t use the app because it says to download the new version. But to update the app I need iOS 13. I was able to use it just fine before they released the most resent update, but now, I’m literally unable to do anything with it..Version: 22.4.1

Needs ImprovementsThe app doesn’t allow a connection to the internet, meaning I can’t log into my PSN account through the app. Hardly ever loads properly from the home screen. Really needs some development changes..Version: 18.07.0

Needs workThis app is definitely better than the old PlayStation app now that it combines everything, although it does not do this very well. The UI is decent but it’s not as fluid as the original UI and has some pointless screens especially in the messages/parties/friends tabs. The overall PlayStation search a user system is broken and annoying now too. You used to be able to search a player’s gamer tag and see the 1 and only result of their name, but now searching a gamer tag often shows a list of unrelated users and friends who share key words with the name you searched and lists the one person you searched somewhere in the middle of all of that and if you’re lucky they’ll appear as the very last result. Sometimes the user won’t even appear at all and you have to go through the same process on the console to get what you want. Also I miss the feature to turn on the PlayStation from the app if both were on the same network. Overall combining all the PlayStation apps was definitely a necessary move, but in doing so we have lost key features from each of the individual apps and some very simple features are too hard to access on the new app now..Version: 21.5.1

TrashApps garbage I’ve deleted and reinstalled multiple times but still get a error where I can’t use the app.Version: 18.09.0

Broken sign inUsed to use the app a lot. However since upgrading to a newer phone, I am unable to log in. Firstly it gives you these complex puzzles that you have to solve and even when doing them correctly still says you are wrong. Then when you have to re do the puzzles it adds more until you get up to 10 to solve. So I tried the audio, got them all correct and still won’t sign me in. Until Sony fixes this it is an unusable app as you can’t log in. Multiple sights have detailed this and Sony still have not fixed this. I will be uninstalling until Sony fix it. I get security is an issue but making complex puzzles that don’t work and take a degree to figure out isn’t the way to do it..Version: 23.9.3

Incompetent & CarelessWith all the resources Sony has, they’re utterly incompetent & honestly, I think they intentionally try NOT to make good applications. This is across the board. Only their TVs, console, and phones are good, but the application support across the board is disgustingly bad. This simply doesn’t work, or work inconsistently to the point it’s not usable. I get an error when I type my password in to purchase every time. Works online but what’s the point of the conscience for an app that doesn’t work had the time? The chances of it working is like wining the lottery. Game/screenshot uploads or if it uploads, I can’t download it. It fails and asks me to retry to only fail again. Closing the app and even turning off and on my phone again doesn’t work. I’ve had nothing but frustration for years with any of their applications. I feel like if apps aren’t even functional, they shouldn’t be allowed to be on the App Store. That way it can ensure it works for the most part and have a higher standard. The same for their applications for their cameras too. They have it just to say they have it, but to work? Nope..Version: 23.9.3

Why not?Can you guys add a app or something like that where you can view saved video clips?.Version: 18.07.0

AnnoyingTrying to use the app put in the wrong email to verify and it won’t let me enter another email(the correct one) untill the one I got wrong is verified iv uninstalled app a few times and it’s still the same unfortunately.Version: 22.11.1

No support / Advice for PARENTSCan’t call to get anyone to help me, trying to log back into my ps4 account after a few years both my gmail and password is correct but you keep telling me it’s wrong. I try resetting my password but you tell me my gmail is wrong ( when it’s not ). This isn’t the reason why I left PlayStation, after being a customer since I was a child, but this just adds the cherry on top. I don’t know who needs to read this last paragraph but if you was thinking of becoming a customer of Sony just don’t, save some money a just buy a pc. You have to buy PlayStation plus just to play multiplayer games with your friends, (don’t need to do that with steam). More content in general on a pc and you don’t have to buy the next gen of plastic. I’ve definitely saved more money ever since I switched and it feels like I can reach more friends that way as well. If your a DAD OR MOM just save up the extra cash a get your kid a PC they’ll have more fun with it anyway and you’d save more money in the long run..Version: 23.11.0

Horrible for messaging-Messages never arrive, even when I have my mobile data on and I am on my phone doing something, the notification never comes until I go onto the app myself and select the chat from the person who sent me the message, then it slowly refreshes and the new message pops up. But this means I don’t reply to my friends’ messages asking me if I want to play together with them for hours because the message never pops up. -You can only send one photo at a time, and you cant zoom in on it through the app. Gotta save it to your photo library first which is annoying. -very slow performance in general.Version: 21.3.0

RUBBISH! CHANGE IT BACK!!Honestly, in my opinion the app was fine how it was before. The theme change isn't so bad but the layout is terrible. At least make the theme so that you can choose what colour you'd prefer. And it takes longer to actually navigate through the different options in the app. Also, when viewing a friend's profile from within the app you can't see their profile bio, followers or friends. It's ridiculous. I'd suggest changing it back to how it was before or at least make the few changes. If it's easier and quicker to be able to do all the things that we were able to do on the actual PS4 itself then there is no point in the app!.Version: 20.9.3

Captcha puzzles are brokenIf I could give this a 0/5 I would. You’re puzzles for signing in are the most frustrating thing on planet earth. I have done the point the animal 10 times puzzle over 20 and times every time I get them right, it tells me it’s wrong, so I do the audio one and got it right it then took me back to the log on screen and I had to sign in all over again. So have to do it again and it tells me I’ve done it to many times. You have made it impossible for me to log into the app..Version: 23.9.3

Be careful when buying!Unless you enjoy jumping through burning hoops to try and get your Pre-order or Unplayed games refund, then make sure what you’re buying is exactly what you want. Because your money is as good as gone once you hit X on that purchase. Instead of a simple button somewhere on the purchase screen or in the settings, you can expect to go talk in a chat to a robot for 15 minutes. After you provide the robot with all your details (already exhausting), you can expect to wait 30 minutes in the chat window for a “Live” agent. Once you get to that part he will ask for all of the same information you already provided the robot. About 15 minutes into that, he will then tell you that he has wonderful news for you and you will be getting your refund! Mind you I didn’t get to this part when I tried to cancel my previous $100 Pre-order, because “Error loading the page. There are too many requests…” This time I was determined! I got my money back, but BE WARNED! It is designed to discourage returns, which in my opinion, is an unacceptable business practice..Version: 23.7.0

Way too many appsThe PlayStation ecosystem on iOS just feels like a wasteland of terrible apps, where each one does very little. I’ve ended up deleting them all..Version: 19.05.0

App fan. Hate the new security puzzles.I’m such an avid fan of PlayStation. That app is great, I often use it to manage my downloads, check who’s online and to browse new games. However, there is a ridiculous security feature that makes me go through endless puzzles just to prove I’m a real person. I tried the visual option without success. I tried the audio option which was better for me but it actually took 4 minutes. Then, it didn’t record my password entry and so I had to start the puzzles again. 4 minutes to sign in is not a desired state for such an app. This needs to be better and it needs to be fixed soon. Essentially, I cannot access it..Version: 23.9.3

Unusable on iPhone 6 nowCan’t use the app now that it requires the update. Sick of these developers forcing me to buy a new phone.Version: 22.4.1

PlayStationThis app console and everyone that works there is so beyond the special class in 5th grade you can’t send anyone anything that’s says one bad word in it you can’t do anything from now one I’m done with this dumb console and PlayStation wouldn’t recommend buying this junk if you are just getting into gaming be a man and buy a Xbox that has more outstanding reviews than a Chinese Peice of junk atleast Xbox was actually the number one selling when it first came out and when the 360 came out PlayStation had nothing to work with just slapped a few peices of plastic together and said $300 if PlayStation came out with anymore consoles I would buy them and use them as a stand for my dirt bike if any of these smelly people know what one is my point is don’t them for the look or anything atleast Xbox is a you know what a female dog when it comes to sending one or two bad things to a person that was being a female dog in a game that’s for children I play bc atleast the season 1-8 was actually but no we had to move to chapters and this other stuff bottom line don’t buy a PlayStation!!!.Version: 21.1.1

It’s okYou can’t watch clips. Also you should be able to join party’s and stuff if your on a phone..Version: 18.10.0

1 step forward 2 steps back...The app has potential, but now it’s missing so much. The ability to post things from your phone to the What’s New section and the fact that the What’s New section is completely gone (no bueno) being able to comment and like your friends achievements or posts is what made the PS app stand out on top of any other gaming app that’s out there. Messages being intergrated into the app and the fact that you can actually buy things off the PSN are both welcomed changes, but all the accessibility that was in the original app needs to return. Profile customization, themes, I personally enjoyed the fact that close friends or family could see your actual picture with the Avatar made it so much more personal. If those changes are to occur I would not just recommend this app, but if you have a PlayStation, you NEED this app. As of now though the app is just...meh*...hope to see these changes in the future, but this is a decent start..Version: 20.9.4

Thanks to the update I can no longer use this app 👍🏻😐PlayStation sucks.Version: 22.4.1

Not working on IPad ProDoesn’t allow me to sign in, always can’t connect to server. Everything is up to date and tried deleting and restarting . Works well on my iPhone though.Version: 23.11.0

Doesn’t let me sign inI recently have moved my data to my new phone, along with that I have signed in to all my other social media apps! On the ps app though (I think it’s due to the new update) when I press sign in it loads me on a black screen for a second and then takes me back to a screen that says let’s go! And underneath sign in. Although when I press either of the two, now it will completely do nothing until you close the app and re open it again and then do the same process. Sony if you see this please fix it as I wish to access this app as I know it is good overall. Many people may be experiencing the same issue I have and instead, just delete the app. Thanks and please fix this soon Sony!?.Version: 20.9.5
