The app paired instantly with my PS4. I like the functionality and it works great as it's intended. You can control the PS4 from your phone in some ways. For example, you can power it on from rest mode and navigate menus and type from your phone keyboard to the PS4. I just don't understand why this can't be integrated into the main Playstation App like before. It doesn't make sense to have 2 separate apps when it can be an all in one, more convenient app.

Issues with second screen option. I got it to work before with no issues and was playing FO76. Now, all I'm getting is "Second Screen Not In Use". Works fine as control for system and can type messages and such. Doesn't do any good otherwise. Pretty useless app if can't use second screen capability. App is updated to newest version and so is PS4. Just annoyed overall as only have one TV and sometimes husband needs to use it so it makes it hard to play games.

I was able to connect to the PS4 and navigate on the home menu, but the app doesn't navigate in any games/apps (I wanted to use it for Netflix), and the "use this to input text" feature doesn't work either, so what's the point? If I have to use a PS4 controller anyways - for both navigation AND text entry - then there's almost no reason to get this app. It's completely worthless, unfortunately.
