How many people are going to run to their PC or are sitting next to a laptop to use an app like this? Plus the PC app will probably need to be more robust and fully featured, they'll have to actually try hard. Can't have that.

I wish the PS Store could also open with the PS App on iOS

Skate-AK3981d ago

I know. Having it just open a page in the browser is stupid.

JDabney243981d ago

Actually, opening the ps store within the app works on iOS! I just tried it!

PhoenixUp3981d ago

I just used the updated app and I can confirm that they finally implemented this feature. The article neglected to mention it only listed it on the Android side.

Now give the PS4 an update plz!!!!! :( We haven't had a PS4 update in months..

I just want friend notfications and friend-list sorting.

Custom wallpapers wouldn't hurt either..

psplova3981d ago (Edited 3981d ago )

We just got an update last week dude...

blackblades3981d ago

I know right I don't even own one and I knew about it. It was the media support.

KwietStorm_BLM3980d ago

We got a media player app, not a system update, which we haven't gotten in quite a while like he said. But disagrees because n4g.

Shazz3980d ago

The media app was just something added to our xmbs it wasn't a firmware

Introducing a new way to invite PS5 players into your multiplayer sessions

Playstation writes: "Today, we’re excited to share that in the coming months, we’ll introduce the ability for you to generate a shareable link on your PS5 console or on PlayStation App, and send it to other PS5 players through any messaging or social media platform. By opening the link, the recipient will be able to hop into your multiplayer session even if they aren’t already friends with you on PlayStation Network."

Sounds like it opens the floodgates for more Dr Disrespect-likes.

Also, a Google Stadia feature that was never implemented but was spoken about in a way such that streamers could invite viewers into their game with just a link.

Creepy and encourages creeps to be even creepier.

It's just an optional way to make it easier to invite people into groups for multiplayer...

Ps always had a good app. you can buy dlc, for instance, and have it ready when you get home,
check status of friends online,
use the phones keypad to type messages quicker (now ps5 has a mic in controller and voice recognition, that advantage goes away somewhat)

They dont advertise some of their stuff very well in my opinion

Einhander1972659d ago

Just to add on to what you said.

You also can buy full and PS+ games and start them remotely and even access your whole library and set anything you own to download remotely. You can even manage your storage and delete games from the console, M.2, and USB.

Pretty handy.

Tacoboto659d ago

Another thing Sony should do in their app is purchase-related too. On the system, you can buy a game even if you "own" it through your PS+ membership (whether it's through Premium or the Monthlies). In the app though, you don't have that capability - only to Download to Console if it isn't already installed.

The program has been incredibly popular, some of the collectables are pretty cool too. I like the ones for classic PlayStation hardware that you owned like the exact PS3 models you had VITA PSP PS4 models, as well as characters from games that you often get from the "Hard Game Challenge" are pretty fun too.

Hopefully they add it to the PS5 dashboard, apparently it's in the works.
