The new PlayStation App for iOS and Android has landed on opposing sides of the Atlantic.
The Android version has been released over here in Europe and can be found behind this link, whilst the iOS version has made its way to iTunes in the United States and can be found behind this link.
The app lets you see what your friends are playing, compare trophies, chat with friends, browse the store and push purchases to you PS4 so they are ready to play when you get home. It also let you use our mobile device as an on-screen keyboard for the PS4 and as a second screen.
Presumably both sides of the Atlantic will get both versions of the app at some point in the very near future.

The link to the android one presents me with a “Not Available in your country” message…..
Tuffcub
Which country are you in?

Judging from his name, probably somewhere around North America.

I get this “Not available in your country” too, I live in the UK.
MrLeeches
I live in the UK…..when clicking on the link it takes me to the Google Play store and shows me the app but tells me its not available.

Ha! How is my name reflective of my location?

It is available in Slovenia but my Samsung Galaxy SII is not supported :(

I clicked it and it just shows me the PS App I’ve had installed for ages.

Update the preinstalled app and your golden :)

It seems to just be an update to the old playstation app rather than an entirely new one. It does require you to accept new terms and conditions in order to login

Can’t log in :/. says my password or email is wrong. Works fine on every other playstation releated site.

iOS is US only and you’ll need to create a US account to get it if you’re impatient like me. :) Seems as though it’s not Universal yet though. No iPad GUI for me.

Works great on Nexus 7 V2, if a little limited without PS4 being around yet.

Works for me here in UK on Xperia Z and tablet Z. Hype train is overloaded for me. It has been for months anyway.
jimmy-google
Works on the z ultra as well
double-o-dave
16 days!
Kennykazey
And it works on the Z1 too.

Got it. A million times better than the original app! Looks good.

Works for me just fine.
Shame it kicks you out into the browser when you look for games, the actual thing that’s most useful about a PlayStation app, that’s a pretty poor experience made all the worse by the fact Sony can’t code a store to save their lives as it’s s-l-o-w as fuck.

It is one area where Sony do seem to struggle. The store on web, PS3 and even Vita is too slow.

Works fine on my Nexus 4. Looks nice, bit slow but liking Sony’s integrated approach with mobile, Vita, PS4 etc…
