App Profile: PS4 Second Screen

I’ve been playing on PlayStation 4 for a long time now and I travel a lot so I like bringing it along with me, hotels however do not support consoles but can connect to my phone, I saw this app and wanted to try it out thinking I could have WiFi from my phone connect to the PlayStation. I’ve tried at least ten times to connect the ps but each time I type in THE CORRECT NUMBERS it says that the numbers were not correct. I don’t know if the PlayStation also needs WiFi to connect the phone but it still kind of aggravates me that it’s the “Incorrect number”. I think that it would be nice to actually connect my phone to my PlayStation.

It’s a separate app, not a separate paid app. They didn’t do this for money or any conspirical reason. They most likely did this to streamline the second screen feature into its own thing instead of having to open the “3 in 1” app. I, for one, would rather have this separate so I don’t have to wait for the main app to load. This goes for the Messages app as well: I hated having to wait to navigate the menu just to get to messages, messages should be its own thing. The bottom line is that this does what the main app used to, but without the menu navigation. If you don’t like it don’t download it, it’s not a big enough feature to care about this much. Although the complaints about it being slow or not conmecting should be looked into. Since they have gone and made into its own thing it should be working perfectly or at the least as well as it would on the main app.

I love playing on the PlayStation 4 it is one of my hobbies and with the recently added remote play I thought it was really cool and when I saw this I thought ‘wow I can see the screen on my phone and use the controller to play!’ But sadly this is not the case. Instead it is designed for people who want to swipe up and down, side to side, press the ps button, options, and back. Also it features a almost useless 2nd screen only compatible with very small games that support the feature. It is rather useless. It wouldn’t however if they made it where it mirrors the screen and lets you use your controller instead of the awful ones on remote play. Sorry but that is all I’m saying that people would enjoy.
