3.2 out of 5
Good idea, Bad start

I wish I could provide deals on my experience, but PlayStationFamily crashes and closes after 2 seconds…

It opens and instantly crashes

I open PlayStationFamily and it instantly crashes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling PlayStationFamily and it still won’t work. I have the latest iPhone so it should work

Child Removal Impossible?

Seriously… one of the worst, most useless apps to “manage” one’s family.

Many others have said it, but that’s fact that a child member can’t be removed BY THE PARENT blows my mind. My kids aged out (they are BOTH adults)… one doesn’t even play games anymore and the other has his own PSN account. Literally trying to follow the principle of least privilege, and PSN’s stance is to leave as much access open as possible — it’s almost as if Sony *likes* to be hacked/exploited.

Fix your app

Downloaded it to see my sons activity. It crashes every time I open it. Market a product that works.

Crashes on Startup

Logged in and it crashes as it's opening the page with my daughter's info. I see a glimpse of her name and then PlayStationFamily crashes.

Counterproductive

Received a notification within the PS app to download this. When I downloaded it, it keeps crashing when I try to open the application. Why not just expand the PS app with this built into it. Looks like someone wanted a bullet point on their yearly evaluation. Good attempt to fix the issue of doing extra steps to do family management within the PS app though.

Crashes on launch

Tried reinstalling and PlayStationFamily just crashes after enabling notifications.

Crashes every time I try to open it.

I wouldn’t know how the actual app itself functions. It crashes before it ever loads up.

Crashing immediately

Needs an update on iPhone right away. It immediately crashes when I try to open it.

Doesn't work

PlayStationFamily crashes. Can't add family members. Too many authentication steps. Gets you out of PlayStationFamily to the browser all time. Time limits don't work. PlayStationFamily is a piece of sh.... Works better the browser and just add it to home screen. I uninstalled it.

Would have given it 5 stars

PlayStationFamily is really good at crashing. I would have given it more stars if it did anything other than crash instantly.

Please fix!

PlayStationFamily force closes on iOS 26

Doesn’t work

Love the concept, has been several days and multiple reinstalls, app simply fails to open. Hope they can fix it soon.

This app very useful my family

my childhood with we addicted game and I got marriage and my kids follow my dna and he have serious play addicted to gamer and he stop going to school and he not listen me and I lucky found PlayStationFamily PlayStation family app and I show how much time spent gamer and then real life and good day

Cool

As a long-time PlayStation fan, I’m really happy to see an app like this launch. keep up the great work!

Amazing

I’ve tried PlayStationFamily for my son so he doesn’t play overnight, it worked because I know when he is on other apps!

Awesome

So much easier than the regular app. Overdue and welcome.

So easy to change playtime

I absolutely love that I no longer need to login every time I want to change playtime. Past web experience was so frustrating! PlayStationFamily make is so easy!

So much better!

Finally Sony has robust parental controls I can access anytime from my phone. My kids two accounts were already loaded and I could start creating their restrictions. Highly recommended!

So glad this now exists

Let’s be honest it was an arduous chore to adjust a family members play time through the main PlayStation mobile app. I dreaded it and was doing it constantly because I’m a soft, weak willed parent who is regularly adjusting playtime 😬 In any case this is much easier and definitely gives me back MANY collective minutes per week. Thank you for releasing PlayStationFamily, I hope they continue to support and improve it.

Also it didn’t work at all when it first came out, crashed every time, but now it’s fine. 👍
