## Review summary

Most reviews describe the app as unreliable for PS4 second-screen use: frequent connection and sign-in failures (including SSL errors), long load times and disconnections, PS5 incompatibility, crashes during livestreams, and problematic login/code delivery. A few users note it works for older PS4s, but overall compatibility and stability are poor.

### Pros

- Some users report it works on older PS4 models.
- There is occasional positive sentiment in reviews.

### Cons

- Cannot connect or sign in; SSL handshake errors and other connection/authentication failures are common.
- Not compatible with PS5; upgrade issues make it unusable on newer hardware.
- Frequent disconnections and long loading times with multiple loading screens.
- Stability issues including crashes, especially during livestream or when monitoring comments.
- Login flow and code delivery problems (passkeys not arriving, emails not received, codes not shown, character limit issues).
