Sony has just updated their official PlayStation app for iOS and Android, allowing new owners of the Sony PlayStation 4 to have a tie in experience with their mobile devices and console. The update brings version 1.5 to the app with some new features and improvements including a second-screen function for select games, social networking and purchases.You can download the app directly on your iOS or Android device through the respective App Store or by using the following link:
| Android | iOS | |
| Download |  |  |
| Price | Free | Free |
| Requirements | Android 4.0 or greater | iOS 6.0 or greater |
On the social side, the app will let you do many of the things you'd find on the system itself like checking what games friends are playing, chat with friends, and check trophies.
On the purchasing side, of course the app makes it a lot easier to spend money on the PlayStation Network. The app allows you to browse the PSN and purchase games, which will then be automatically pushed to your console. So, that means you can buy games from Sony's site, from Amazon, in the store on the console, or through the app. The only trouble you may have is if your Internet connection is slow.
Lastly, the app will send you game alerts, notifications, and invitations, as well as letting you use your mobile device as a keyboard for your PS4. No more typing with the DualShock controller!
