I decided to try this app for PS5 streaming, but the experience was subpar. First, the UI is extremely primitive and the UI/UX design is unintuitive, making it feel like an unfinished product.More importantly, the streaming performance is unacceptable. Despite having both my Mac and PS5 hardwired (Ethernet) to a high-performance router, I still encountered significant input lag and frequent screen tearing.Additionally, the app lacks modern features: it only supports AVC encoding and lacks HDR support. For a remote play app in 2026, the technical limitations and poor optimization make it hard to recommend.

Stuttering is caused by Apple’s AWDL service, and it can be easily fixed with a simple setting change.Game stuttering or mosaic artifacts:Set your router’s 5G Wi-Fi channel to 149 (EU/Japan: 44), the channel bandwidth does not enable 160 MHz.On iPhone/iPad/Mac, turn off system location services.The UI/UX is designed with a clean, minimalist aesthetic, it’s a matter of personal style.HEVC HDR will be available, so don’t worry.

At first, I was skeptical about this app—it seemed too good to be true, and I worried it might be a scam. However, after using it and communicating with the developer, I can confidently say it’s the real deal! The app works amazingly well, delivering exactly what it promises with impressive performance.Initially, I had trouble connecting, which made me doubt it. But I reached out to the developer, who was incredibly responsive and helpful. They guided me through troubleshooting, and it turned out the issue was with my device setup. Once resolved, the app ran flawlessly. For anyone struggling, I’d suggest checking your device settings and contacting the developer—they’re genuinely dedicated to making this work for you.This is a fantastic app backed by a responsible and caring developer. Don’t let first impressions fool you; give it a try and reach out for support if needed. Highly recommend!

This doesn’t work on any of my M2 macbooks air, the developer sent me an email claiming I don’t know how to use the app. When you open it, it goes straight to a black screen with the words NO VIDEO, the only options you get is to close out, minimize, or change the size of the screen. i can’t log into anything, can’t do anything with the app

Hi, Watch my YouTube tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMWDp8AbGJc and follow the steps shown in the video. When setting it up, please enter your own PS5’s IPv4 address, make sure your Mac and PS5 are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, ensure that the PS5 is not connected to any network booster or accelerator device, and make sure that no VPN is enabled on your Mac. Unable to sign in to PSN ?, The PSN page is temporarily inaccessible. Try reopening Console Remote and logging in again. Or switch the registration method, finish pairing the PS5 and wait for the PSN page to be restored tomorrow. Open [Connect Device] → [PS5-Local] → [Edit] → [Obtain Account ID] → select [Via External Login]. Under these conditions, PS5 streaming should work properly. If you have any questions or run into any issues, please feel free to contact me directly. I truly hope we can resolve this smoothly.
