  1. 4/5Screenshot problem resolved! Thanks, Sony!

    I’m not sure what happened to cause it, but the automatic uploading of screenshots has been restored as of today! I didn’t have to update the app to get it back. The auto upload of screenshots is the primary reason I use this app, and it works wonderfully. I love how easy it is to open this app, download a screenshot or 15 second clip, and upload to Discord or Bluesky to share with my friends. The only thing I don’t like is when my video clips are stuck “processing”, which makes sense if they’re a few minutes long but not when they’re 15 seconds or less. Sometimes it’ll gum up the works and make it impossible for me to download my screenshots too, but that’s nothing waiting 15 minutes won’t solve. All in all, great (but not perfect) app for sharing my game pictures with friends. Old review: Suddenly, last week, the primary functionality that I downloaded this app for has disappeared. Why can’t I download my screenshots anymore? What is the purpose of this app now? It’s not as if I can upload them through Twitter now, so what am I supposed to do, buy a USB stick and take them off my PS5 to transfer to a laptop, then email them to my phone? More work than it’s worth if you ask me.

  2. 3/5Finally landscape for iPad

    I’m going to give a bump in my rating for the addition of landscape support. UI is still wonky with weird swipes and close menu buttons. The store is fine if you know what you want to buy before opening the app. But browsing games and looking for deals is still an awful experience. Different editions of the same game are not clearly listed and differences between editions are not clearly listed in the product description. Steam does a good job of clearly listing all the included dlc, bonuses, etc. that are included in different editions but the ps store does not. It’s also easy to miss a sale because the ps store sales often have a single version of the game on sale like the base game while the “definitive” version is not (or vice versa). An example of how bad the store is: I know that The Outer Wilds has a new piece of DLC that was just released. I forgot what it’s called but I do a search in within the ps app for “outer wilds”. I see an “archealogical” edition listed 2nd which I’ve never heard of but the pricing looks like it includes the base game and the dlc; but this is not clear within the product description. But I already have the base game and just want to buy the dlc. The search results are poorly ordered and after having to google what the name of the dlc is because the ps app search is awful, i find that it is the 11th entry in the search results and it’s listed as an “episode” which is weird. It says nothing about needing to own the base game. Do I need to redownload the game or is this a standalone episode? Guess i’ll find out.

  3. 5/5Love the app but one suggestion

    Hi, I’m kind of new to gaming but I love your app so much, it’s easy to message people back instead of in game with the controller, easy to filter invite spamming to just your phone instead of popping up on the screen repeatedly while you’re in the middle of a game, but why I’m writing this review.. one of the first I’ve ever written without ever being prompted nor asked how I’m enjoying the app (kudos for that too!) is the capture gallery! I love how it saves the clips for a certain amount of time and you can easily just download them to your phone camera roll or send them as a message on play station! I make a lot of random gaming videos to post and the only issue I’ve come across is that they sometimes take days to actually load on the app and be ‘ready’, also (so I guess two things), I can only find the clips from the most recent game I played until I reclip in another game again and then those will pop up. It could be because I clip a lot, but there is an ‘other’ folder at the top now, but it doesn’t lead me anywhere. But overall, 5 stars of awesome for design and ease of use, yes some things are slower but probably one of the best social apps I have! Thank you!

  4. 1/5Used to love it but

    Since sony gears new technology/gaming devices catered to only ps5, I decided to leave sony and go to Microsoft. I will spread my voice wherever I can until I can persuade many more people to switch over since sony doesn't care about its existing customers and Caters only to New customers while focusing on kids 7-12year olds by making games made for kindergartners. With that said. The new high prices of ps plus membership with lack of quality or horrible b-listed free monthly games that aren't even worth my time downloading is worthless while raising the monthly plan? You used to get the 12 Month membership for $59 since ps4 has been out but since they released the ps5, they raised the prices and made 3 tiers of membership , all worthless and I'm here to educate you that you don't need that monthly plan just to play games online. Most games are free to play online such as fortnite and U don't need a membership. Also; you can buy the 12 month membership somewhere else for $30-40 for 12 months and now sony offers it's for $80 for 12 months but it's still a SCAM!!! With this said, I've had a PlayStation 1,2,3,4 and I just purchased the Xbox series X because the game pass is unbeatable !!!!! Make the switch and don't give sony another cent since their games cost $80 just for a game and the quality of the game is garbage because it's low fps and they release games that are unfinished and all they do is REMASTER GAMES ANYWAYS AND THEY CANT THINK OF ANYTHING NEW, too MAKE

  5. 1/5PlayStation is hurting Gamers everywhere

    I grew up playing PlayStation games on my consoles. Now they announced the end of physical discs. Sony is taking away consumer rights to ownership, resale, and the ability to choose where to buy your games for the best price. Prices will skyrocket for games and a monopoly will occur with the PlayStation store being your only option. Sony also announced recently that digital games/movies can be deleted from your library at any moment without a refund. 500+ movies were just deleted from people’s libraries digitally this week. Sony is taking away the ability to see the stats of physical games on this app. And PlayStation is getting rid of disc drives which will hurt consumers who want to play older games from previous consoles and from those who enjoy watching movies they actually own. This will hurt gave preservation and jobs everywhere. If you have a PlayStation acct and it gets hacked, you lose all digital movies and games that your previously bought. If your account gets shutdown due to inactivity for three years or for any other reason, you lose your complete digital library. Sony does not care about its customers. If they did, they would always have disc drives and go all in on backwards compatibility like Xbox. Vote with your wallets by cancelling your subscription and by cancelling all digital preorders. I cancelled my digital preorder for GTA6 and for others and will wait for physical discs.

  2. 1/5

    The PlayStation app is terrible for messaging. The moderation system feels completely unreasonable. It seems like you can be reported for simply disagreeing with someone, and account penalties can lock you out of games you've already paid for. The lack of transparency is just as bad. You're penalized without a clear explanation, leaving you guessing what rule you supposedly broke. Players deserve fairness, context, and real accountability.
