PS4 Second Screen Customer Insights

1. This Second Screen is optional for its very own Remote Play Application, and the only features you're able to do is pause a game and the PS button, and browse through the hub, which is indefinitely easier to do from the ps controller.

2. 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.

3. There is a reason why this only has a 2.6 rating!!! Booo for Sony!!! 5M downloads???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.

4. Going to get the Remote Play app for my laptop soon so I can try to play games without the main TV.For those who haven't read what this app is supposed to do, it works great.

5. It also lets you navigate the menus and type into text boxes using your touch screen rather than a joypad.

6. Some users seem to think it should allow you to play PS4 games on your mobile screen.

7. But every time I try to switch to the 2nd screen it says "this screen is not currently being used" which isn't right because I have the system on, and a game currently running... please if I'm just doing something wrong, somebody please let me know.

8. For example, you can power it on from rest mode and navigate menus and type from your phone keyboard to the PS4.

9. It's completely worthless, unfortunately.Issues with second screen option.

10. Make a screen with dedicated media controls/buttons mimicking a physical remote.

11. Pretty useless app if can't use second screen capability.
