Well, for those of you which decided to hit delete and free up space the app took up, I now can tell you that it is time to re-install. Due to the released PlayStation 5, they have redesigned the app to finally work how you may expect. For the first time in history, you can now talk to your friends through ‘PS party’ via your mobile phone, and cross party PS5, Mobile & PS4! You’ll find you finally receive timely and prompt notifications, and finally you can remove friends from your friend list with ease. This feature received a solid yes to that from me, having racked up hundreds and always facing the dread of removing them on the console itself!)
The new update of the app, also explains the reason for the new party system on the PlayStation 4 console, where you must set up a messaging group before actually going into a party. However, once you have everyone in the right groups, it works surprisingly smoothly. (Bare with it, I promise it will get better).
As additional and fun features, you can receive up to date and interesting official PlayStation news in the app, via the ‘Explore tab’, as well as read the PS blog.
The user Design is very much similar to that of what we have seen from the PlayStation 5, with sleek curvature, panels & a hearty minimalistic black, grey and white design. It looks and feels slick, responsive & opulent.
Browsing the PlayStation store on mobile has never been easier. With its own deal section, separate PS5 area & ‘subscriptions’, which houses PS+, you can navigate it with ease. What has been mentioned though, is the lack of the Wishlist feature, which seems to have been left behind in the past. The Wishlist was a much loved feature by previous users of the app, and seeing numerous play store reviews of the app, you can sense the anger around it no-longer being available.
All in all though, I think PlayStation have finally implemented the features that were seen as needed and expected by us- the gamers.
Finally, the app is now a successful addition to the PS experience.
