If the idea of spending time away from your PlayStation 4 is sending shivers down your spine, then you may be delighted to learn that the PlayStation App is available for iOS and Android devices in North America right now. A pivotal part of Sony’s next generation strategy, the smartphone software will allow you to keep tabs on your PlayStation Network friends, gaming social feed, and even purchase PlayStation Store content – which will automatically download to your system – on the move.
Furthermore, you’ll be able to send text and voice messages to your associates, multiplayer invites, and even connect to the next generation console in order to unlock second screen experiences in titles such as The Playroom. Don’t worry if you don’t own a fancy smartphone, though, as the latest PlayStation Vita firmware update also added a lot of this functionality to the platform holder’s pocketable device.
Have you given the PlayStation App a go yet? What are your initial thoughts on the digital download? Slide to unlock in the comments section below.

It doesn't support Android 3 right now, so I am unable to get it. I hope they update it to be able to support my phone, even though it is considered by many to be ancient at 2 years old.
Not compatible with my Samsung tablet (GT-P3100 4.0.3 Android). Anyway I have a Vita anyway.
I can't find it in iTunes.. What's the name of it?
What is the name of the app
It's beautiful and I'm surprised my phone is supported.
@BarrettJChris @Cowboysfan-22 It should pop-up if you type in "PlayStation App", worked for me.
I was really excited for this until the Play Store said "This application isn't available on your country" T_T
@Lelouch ok I'll try it. Thx
I downloaded it yesterday. It's pretty cool so far. For those needing the iOS version here is the US link.

Going to be downloading it here today.
Already have it on my Nexus 4. Pretty good but a bit sloppy that it goes to a b links.
Still a great first effort.
Arrrrg I was really looking forward to it but then I get a message that my device doesn't support this app. WTF? Its a Samsung Galaxy Blaze which is Android so I am at a lost here as to why I am getting that message.
@Tasuki Galaxy Blaze is running Android version 3.6. The app is for versions 4 and above.
Accept/Send Friend request + Send/receive Message is currently the only benefit with this app over let's say PS3trophies app.
