The mobile app on my android devices is sluggish, it loads slowly and often doesn't load the psn messages or cannot connect to the server, so it's mostly useless but the concept is good, just as with most playstation software is buggy and unreliable.

Use it all the time on a 4yr olds Galaxy S2 and a Nexus 7 (2013), the app is good if it can connect to the servers, which is like 50% of the time.

@MarcRecon: I have it for my iPhone 5 and it's great.

What I love:

being able to pick up my phone while I'm playing a game and quickly "text" one of my PSN friends a message, instead of having to type it out with the controller.

Being able to send friend requests/see what my friends are doing/basically anything that increases the social media aspect of my PS4.

Most importantly, I can see who is online and who is playing what. I often will be sitting in class and message one of my friends online something like, "hey I'll be home around 6:30, wanna get on Factions with me?"

on a scale from 1-10, I'd give it a 7, it's not outstanding but it is good.

What time of day do you use it and where do you live? That probably makes a huge difference.

@MarcRecon: Haha Apple OP as per usual. I would give the app a 10, just because I have no real issues or problems with it. I dunno what else they could add to it, I mean damn I'm pretty sure I can turn my PS4 on from it? lol

Also, I live in northeastern Ohio and use it on and off throughout the day. Only had connection issues a few times in the 5 months or so that I've had it.

Well, I haven't had any connection issues....just wish they would add some more features.

I have had the exact same issues. I have downloaded it on multiple occasions and each time it never works. When it does want to work, it is sluggish and doesn't work the right way. I stopped using it a month ago. The XBox app works fine though.

^ This. I'm far too poor to afford an apple device so I guess I'll just have to put up with it.

It works pretty good for me on my android devices. Obviously, each device is different with older hardware, etc.
