PS Deals

I downloaded this a couple days ago for black friday deals expecting it to be more or less a scam app but it works amazing! i don’t usually rate things but i need other people to see this. you can set up wish lists for games and even put games onto a list that will notify you when it goes on sale. you can look at things like vr games, ps+ free games, and just games that are on sale right now. i haven’t gotten the premium version but there’s some functions that are probably very worth it there too. All in all a great app that I will be using for a predictable couple years from now.

Great free app for compiling a wishlist and a (separate) price change notification list aggregated from PS Digital Store. I’ve been using the free version for 3+ years now. Honestly it’s likely helped me save conservatively well above $1000 on games/DLC cumulatively over that period. Cons >>Unpolished UI >>“Featured” tab a bit cluttered >>Ads are occasion but mostly rather short {typically 5 secs if not instantly closable} compared to most other app’s ads {30+ sec} at least in my region YMMV >>free version doesn’t offer handful of additional features I don’t miss e.g. compare region prices, price stats, full price history >>can’t add more lists than the included notify-me list / wish list / owned list Pros >>Comprehensive filter/sort controls on all tabs >>updated daily >>email or push notifications for specified games >>lists discount end dates >>game pages contain info: release date, developer, available add-ons, metacritic, limited price history (high | low | low w/PS+) links to video reviews etc >>DLC/add-on content can be tracked with premium or on free version if you watch an ad. PlayStation appears to be slowly rolling our SOME of this functionality with their services but in my experience both their website and app are sluggish and pretty useless for anything except confirming a single price. Highly recommend as a utility for tracking a list or games and never missing out when they’re 85% off.

A remarkable amount of ads — nearly every screen from the start page to the search results is 25-50% filled with advertising. In addition, every 2-4 taps I was interrupted by an unskippable video ad or interactive ad, and when the ads repeated, the (X) close button would change position from the last time, to help you accidentally tap the ad when you are trying to dismiss it. Sometimes the video ad is followed by yet another non-video ad you also have to get past to get where you're trying to go. Some advertised features require you pay a monthly subscription instead of a one-time unlock, which is very disappointing. I'm happy to pay for apps I use, especially if it removes ten billion ads, but I certainly don't need to be billed $3 a month for an app like this. No way to import your wishlist from PSN. This may not be technically possible, but if I'd known that I'd have to search and enter every game manually (while being constantly interrupted by ads, making it very time consuming) I might have skipped this app. Easier to take ten seconds to skim the specials on PSN once a week.
