Erica App PS4™

Very inconveniently designed, and disintegrated from the PS4 experience. The control is not intuitive either: while I'm OK most of the time, my friend totally got lost and couldn't even perform the basic actions. There are a few sections of the game that require you to swipe the entire screen. Those are straight up tedious, as they take about half a minute to finish! Perhaps it's because my phone has a large screen. Oh, and wake your controller halfway, or your PS4 goes rest mode at 2 hours.

Doesn't work for me using WiFi, even using my phone WiFi and connecting my PS4 to the same WiFi doesn't work. The only way it works for me is using my PS4 system as a hotspot. It does work pretty well and as much as I love the style of game that it is, I wish it was a little more responsive or being able to turn my phone to landscape rather than portrait would help immensely. I tried as it gives you a bigger window of movement in line with your TV screen however, the controls did not work.

The app suggests that I can become fully immersed in the game by using this app but, unfortunately, all it does is act as a replacement touchpad for that wonky and absolutelyuseless controller one. While it does this much better than using the controller's there is nothing in this app that couldn't have been done with the sticks of the controller. Connects to the PS4 automatically so there's no need to sign in to the PSN so that's good too. It's not fair to rate the game here but it's good.

Pixel 4xl, worked great. Nice control method but I would have preferred the rock pad on the dual shock. Plus because my dual shock was not used, after a while it would turn off. After a while the PS4 would notify that it was going to sleep. Only was to stop that was to turn the controller back on. I guess I could have gone into system settings The game / movie was ok. Took about 2h to run through to the end. No idea what the other endings are like as I don't have enough interest to find out.

It's ok, but I prefer the controller so I don't use the battery on my phone needlessly. I thought it would show more on the phone, be more interactive or collaborative somehow, but it just literally turned my phone into the touchpad from my PS4 controller. Worked smooth though, and had no issue connecting to my system using the wifi. Just not my cup of tea 🤷‍♀️

Technically works very well, but using the phone is completely pointless. The phone is only used as a touchpad and there's no reason not to use the controller, I was hoping it would do something like calling your actual phone or have you read text from the phone or something like that. But no, just a touchpad.

So it wasn't bad. The app is responsive with no screen delay. But sometimes the motions were a little weird. It's something I got very used to by the end of the game but in the beginning I looked dumb as hell trying to get everything to work. As for the game eh, story is quick and out there drawing long amounts of time on things that don't need explanation but also single handedly completely leaving you in the dark on harder concepts. I liked the game I liked the app. Just didn't love any of it.

Works as advertised. Adds a more tactile atmosphere, by which i mean, it feels much more intuitive compared to the default Dual Shock controller. Personally i think these guys need a pat on the back, especially since it's a free companion app.

I had absolutely no issues with this, in terms of performance or ease. Is it *necessary*? No. But we're so used to holding a mobile phone, there was something quite nice about just casually gliding a finger over the screen to control the narrative.

Worked wonderfully for 5 seconds. Second time I paused became completely unresponsive. Would have honestly rather it not worked at all, because it seemed cool for 5 seconds, but it has to work 1800 times as long. Furthermore, it forces you to stay in portrait mode when every tv ever is in landscape, so good critical thinking there boys. Misguided attempt reeks of producers wanting to shoehorn the latest technology to the detriment of the product.

Best experienced with smartphone my a**. On Note 10+ it runs in wrong resolution so I can barely pause it (there's no button shown, but I can click on the corner), gestures are terrible, I have to repeat them two or three times for them to go all the way, it disconnects immediately when I go out of the app or lock the screen and even the error messages don't show properly, upper line (or lines, how am I to know...) are cut off. Playing with Dualshock is much better. You should be ashamed!

Not being in 100% control of my answers or miss-clicking was really annoying, especially since I can't go back and fix it to the answer I had originally wanted. Other than that, I liked the game mechanics. Also, the gameplay was not totally clear on explaining why or how anything was happening.

The app works fine, but I really wish I'd known this game was played on a smartphone before buying it. If I wanted to play a game on a phone, I wouldn't have bought a console game. I tried playing it with the ps4 trackpad, but the surface area isn't large enough. They've formatted the game so that you really do need to use your phone for this.

I wouldn't play the game without the app. It seems pretty darn cool. Artwork is really cool. I've only played it for about 6 hours and hope it's a very long game. It really does hold your interest. Clear winner in my book on the PS4. Don't know about other game systems. This program functions really well with the game.

It worked for maybe an hour but then I got a text. The app kept sticking after I paused to check the text, it kept getting disconnected or just wouldn't respond. I restarted the whole thing but it didn't stop. The controller isn't as cool but the app is glitchy af

Cute... kind of like Heavy Rain style controls. All these people saying it was hard to find... I literally opened the App Store and typed Erica, it was the first thing that popped up. It really doesn't get much easier than that.

The app works great, I thought you'd have to connect it with your PS Account or even have make an account for Erica to link up, but it's surprisingly fuss free! The game itself is amazing. Really weird and very very different from your average game. I think it's something you would love or hate, personally I LOVE it!! I hope FlavourWorks make more game that are so gripping!

I love this game on ps4 but I don't like the controls for the DualShock I think it should have been something like you move but analog stick in you click one the buttons to select this configuration with smartphone is somewhat better granted it is hard because I have to concentrate on two screens but it's a lot better than the DualShock mostly because I have tremors which makes it harder to keep my hands Stihl

Sadly this didn't work for me. Despite both devices bring in the same 5ghz network, the app couldn't find the ps4. Additionally, because both were in a 5ghz network, the ps4 could not successfully be turned into a hot spot. Game is absolutely beautiful though, these are the graphics other games advertise and fail to produce (which i wouldn't mind so much if they would stop advertising what they aren't selling)

The app does not work with the PS5 at all, which is a shame because the game is almost unplayable on a PS5 controller pad as the sensitivity is insane (my cursor flies all over the place and I can't even hover in one spot, which is sometimes necessary during the game) and I'm annoyed that PlayLink promised the games were compatible on the PS5 but neither mentioned or rectified the incompatibility of phone play, the gimmick they pushed and wasted with poor implementation and ignored potential.

Im not sure if I would call this a game more like an interactive movie. Regaurdless this is an awesome interactive movie/game each decision you make changes the out come of the movie. not only was the interactive part fun the movie itself was really good. I highly recommend watching/playing this movie.

The game is trash. If it was just decision making to advance the plot that would be fine. But on numerous occasions it ask you to flick to open a box or flick to light a lighter etc... there is no choice in that, just a gimmick to lengthen game time it seems, annoying as the plot is quite thin and they try to drag it out. If this game was a normal movie/TV show there is about 45 min worth of plot. But it so padded out with gimmicky motion controls to make it a 2 hour or so game.

Mandatory for all the right reasons, we all know dualshock is great, but it is known to have issues. This app runs like butter and the seamless connection is honestly brilliant.

Really enjoyed the game and app works perfectly for me. My only complaint is the game could have been longer but with all the different endings it's worth playing through multiple times.

Loved the game and the companion app works great. I wish there were more games like Erica. My phone connected with the ps4 almost instantly. The phone control felt way more immersive than the standard controller.

App itself works, no issues there, but beware of your power saving settings... Both dualshock and PS4 will try to turn off due to "inactivity" while playing the game. That's stupid... And immersion breaking :/

I liked using it on my phone and I definitely had better control then when I used the controller pad. The game itself is very interesting and not to long, about a 2h gameplay for one ending. 10/10 I would recommend
