[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
Thanks for your feedback. I will answer all of them explicitly. Sure it's worth to mention other apps and I even know some of them. I share information with the developer of Chiaki. He helped me once and since then we share information if we found something out. The developer of Chiaki is pretty awesome he has my total respect by the way. I'm playing around with the PS4 protocol for more than two years now, I developed PSJoy a workaround Remote Play client (requires a PC) and finally I was able to implement PSPlay. Of course I know PSPlay is not perfect, an app is never really finished or perfect. There is always room for improvements, and that is what I will do. If someone like other apps better that's okay, I'm not saying that other apps are not good :)

"- allow app profiles..."

Well not sure if I have understood correctly, in regard to auto adjust the bitrate while streaming this will be implemented soon. If you leave bitrate at auto it will be set according to your resolution. Fps chan't be changed during the stream as far as I know, only bitrate and that has to be implemented. Since the last update gamepad handling should be improved and button mapping should work better.

"- REPL4Y has PIP mode (super useful), button rumble, and voice chat and doesn't require PSN login"

Pip is planned, but as there some features which has to be implemented first. Rumble and voice chat as well. Voice chat will be more effort and I don't know when it will be ready, but of course also planned. In regard to the login, well that's not possible that way because PSPlay is a standalone application which doesn't need to register or sign in to a 3rd Party server like Repl4y. The server of Repl4y is performing the PSN login request automatically for you in the background and all it needs is your PSN-ID. Since PS4 firmware 7.0 the account id is required for the registration process. This account id can only be queried by performing an OAuth request. You are not really performing a login what you see in PSPlay, it's only requesting your account id. So if you have already performed a registration on another device you can view your account id and enter it manually. Well, I know it's not ideal but in return no need to register and sign in to a 3rd Party server.

"- give ability to adjust deadzones.."

Deadzone detection was improved in the last update and should work better now. Manually adjusting the deadzone would be possible too but is not yet implemented. It should not be needed anymore to adjust it manually but of course having that option would not hurt.

"- enhance controller control further by with, for example HOLD L1 + HOLD R1 Is different hotkeys than L1 + R1"

Sure adding more options will always be possible but at some point you can always over engineer a feature, making that would probably lead to a lot of false button presses. I think with the current mapping functionality most of the users should be satisfied. Not saying that I will not enhance the current mapping options but there are a lot of todos with higher priority for me at the moment.

"- enhance on screen buttons by not requiring them to always be on. "

At the moment the buttons will disappear after 10 seconds and will only show up again when you touch the screen. You can enable that the buttons should not disappear but I could add an option that they should not be shown at all of course :)

"- enhance analog stick with replicating turn acceleration as well as ADS acceleration"

Not sure if I have understood that correctly, could you please explain that in more details?

"- update the interface: make a material icon and material resources. Align it with material design in whole. On-screen buttons are often stretched. Make setting them up easier."

In general PSPlay tried to follow the material guidelines from Google and uses material design icons. Of course not everywhere all gamepad button interfaces are made by myself but I'm not a designer please have mercy on me :D In regard to the stretched buttons, which button exactly? No button should look stretched, they should always keep there aspect ratio. If not then this is clearly unintentional. You said "make setting them up" easier, are you referring to the customization feature? Even though I'm not a designer I spent a ridiculous amount of making all these buttons in GIMP, so I will try my best to improve them at a later point.

"- link the profiles to Google play so different devices don't suffer. At the very least allow cloud import/export"

Thought of an import/ export feature, will also be implemented at a later point. Google account would be possible but I do not want to upload the PS4 registration info to somewhere else because of security reasons but at least the gamepad mapping and customization features should be possible.

"- add a new start screen that runs through all the options for first use and make them pretty"

Well, the only thing you can do when you first start the app you can click register. It's always hard to make a screen look tidy and not cluttered but make all information visible at once. I tried to make it as easy as possible but there is room for improvements I agree.

"- include or add anything that makes it run smoother, quicker, more fps, better quality, less artifacts"

That sounds a little bit trivial, a lot of time during the implementation was spent to guarantee a smooth streaming experience but there are so much factors which can influence these experience that's really ridiculous believe me. Sometimes it's a ****ty decoder sometimes even a bug on a specific Android device which requires a different logic etc. At the moment PSPlay uses FEC (forward error correction) to recover some lost frames but of course Software can't magically fix everything on a ****ty connection. I have tested PSPlay on at least 12 different devices some of them I bought for testing reasons only. More FPS than 60 is not possible because the PS4 is limited to 60FPS, higher bitrate values will be possible and I will enhance that in the future. A smooth streaming experience one of the major things and I will of course always try to enhance that :)

"- Some of the settings are a little confusing so maybe adding a beginner vs advanced toggle and be more specific on some of the options"

Agree, I tried at least to add a little explanation on most of the settings but of course some of them are still confusing and there is definitely room for improvement.

Thanks anyway for your detailed feedback, I really appreciate that. Like I said most of the features I will implement soon or are at least planned. All I can say is that I will constantly try to improve PSPlay (like all of my other apps). I really like such projects and I appreciate all your support. Thank you.
