For those who haven't read what this app is supposed to do, it works great. Some users seem to think it should allow you to play PS4 games on your mobile screen. No. What it does do is allow games which support a second screen to display things like maps, help and instructions on your phone while playing. It also lets you navigate the menus and type into text boxes using your touch screen rather than a joypad. Very useful.

Does exactly what you'd expect. It's good for replacing the PS4 on screen keyboard and allows me to quickly write a paragraph rather than the clunky PS4 keyboard. No you can't use it as a controller or as a second screen to play games on. All it needs is to be connected to the same network as your PS4. Only problem I ever have is occasionally after opening and closing the app is says no PS4 found but it's easily fixed by clearing the app drawer on my phone.

This used to work fine and was excellent for sharing images to Twitter. It no longer works and simply times out when trying to connect. This issue appears to be associated with the most recent update of either the app or the PS4 operating system. Either way it is now obsolete as what's the point of a second screen app that cannot connect?
