## Review summary

Users repeatedly report connectivity and reliability problems preventing play, with frequent disconnections and camera/controller issues. Some praise PS5 compatibility and family-friendly use when it works, plus features like calorie tracking. Core frustrations center on connection stability, camera control reliability, permission needs, and subscription/purchase questions.

### Pros

- PS5 compatibility via the mobile app, enabling gaming on consoles (positive when it works).
- Fun and family-friendly experience when the app is functioning (tracks well and resets per song).
- Camera/controller mode can provide fast calibration and accurate movement tracking when it works.
- Calories-burned tracking provides a useful fitness metric.
- When on the same Wi‑Fi, pairing can be quick and straightforward.

### Cons

- Frequent connectivity issues: the app often can't connect to the game (PS5, Xbox, Switch) or shows vague errors.
- Random/disconnects: phones disconnect after minutes or when the screen locks; stability is poor.
- Camera/controller reliability problems: tracking often fails, and some devices report the feature removal.
- Glitches and navigation problems: the app can be unresponsive and may require permissions that aren't implemented.
- Pricing and in-app purchases: subscriptions are seen as costly or unclear, with complaints about charges.
