  Great new update BUT...
  By wheatbloom
  I love the brand new UI, a completely renovated look, easy accessible to what I need and where I need it except, I feel like you guys missed out HUGELY on the Capture Gallery. This was that one feature I was looking forward to ever since I made the switch to Playstation. As of right now I can edit and share captured screenshots/videos exclusively only on the console itself and nowhere else. I'd understand if editing would have to be done on the console but sharing clips from my library/profile should be an option on the app! Especially with the new PS5 coming out it'd be a great addition to the PS app to be able to seamlessly share our content/trophies etc. to any social media or be able to forward to our friends. Except there's only one option and that too on console, which is Twitter. It's really sad to see how much Playstation emphasizes on 'Sharing' to the point where there's a dedicated button on the controller for it, yet no support on the app itself. It still has the basic most features the last PS App did, but this time it was just revamped with a nice and clean look. I'm hoping that changes once the PS5 is officially released but I'd love to see a sharing/editing feature integrated within the app. I know it's 100% possible and definitely can be done. Overall, great work on the app so far. Hope I'm heard and can expect something out of it in the near future!
  New update could be better..
  By Mel Vz
  I love the new update, It looks great! But there are so many things from the older version that i believe makes it better than the newer version. Being able to customize your profiles look by changing your cover image, profile color, and more was a huge deal for me. Customizing group chats was another cool thing. You can do it in the new version, but it has to be with more than two people. In the new version you can't do as much as the older version. profiles just look so dull to me now. When you start the app you can see what your recently played games are. When you go to your profile, you can also see what your recently games played are. I think that's unnecessary and boring. I preferred the old layout. Being able to see your friends, who you're following, and followers was a lot better. Same goes with seeing friends profile. I really don't want to see just mutual friends. The what's new page was also removed. I thought that was a great way to see what your friends are up to. what games they started playing and trophies they're achieving. I love that you can download games to your console and make purchases though the app. It's a lot faster than doing it on console.
  Not a review of the app it self but more of the PSN network as a whole
  By gschraer
  The 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.
  Update glitches invites on PS4
  By ScottIsHot96
  This 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.
  Don't bother buying games here
  By jeff806
  Why 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.
  wonderful update, but having an issue...
  By Itz_Dogzforlife
  after just recently switching to the ps4 after a long time of my buggy ps3, i'm still new to not only ps4 but also the ps app. the app is useful don't get me wrong and the update was really nice but as a gamer who's always on/in a voice chat the update is kind of annoying. i've seen a couple other people have the same problem and i really suggest you fix this for people who like to use wireless gear. my problem is that i don't own any wired headsets, and in order to do my voice chatting from my phone it needs that. i know, i can just go to my nearest store and get a decent wired headset but it's a waste of money if i spend all this money on wireless gear just for it not to be compatible with playstation. on a good note, the UI is way easier. i used to have a lot of trouble on the older version and often some features wouldn't even work. (such as buying games) luckily this update is better. and now since we can link our consoles it's 10x as easier for me to get games since at times of the year i'm across the country from my ps4.
  Looks great, buuut pretty disappointed
  By dansington
  1st, 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.

  I really love the newly designed look and UI of the PS App, a great leap in my opinion, but still lacks behind the Xbox/Game Pass Apps. They have the Photo Gallery right there in the bottom of the interface that lets you see your captures, photos or videos. Just like Stadia. Theirs is right at the bottom of under the games you have. I realize how much work it might take to implement this into an all new designed app, and how much space it could take up to build servers or cloud service to store all photos from the PlayStation family; but your app is behind. 5 stars once it's added as a feature but it's just great for now. I only use it rarely because of this lacking (important mind you) feature. Because having to upload to Twitter then save tends to degrade not only the video but wastes time when I could just open the app and save or download the video/photo. Then I'd use this religiously. But still, great job Sony/PlayStation and devs that develop all these, it's still phenomenal.
  By Susanoo83
  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.
  By CoolGuyDennis
  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.
