Negative review New Update Is Awful by anonym
Please put the older version back. The new app opens up on the friend activity page and I can't navigate outside of the community related pages. There's no way to get to the catalogue or even the shopping cart anymore as the entire left menu bar is gone completely. Horrible QA. 1/5
Neutral review Needs more work by anonym
Updates have removed basic connectivity options, but added more other features. Needs work as it doesn't show broadcasts yet lists them. Keep up the constant updates and it will be a great steamos companion. 3/5
Negative review Buggy and over complicated by anonym
I loved this app prior to the update. It wasn't perfect but the layout made sense and things were categories in a mobile friendly way. I like some of the things they've brought in like the user reviews but the overall design change is awful; Especially the catalogue page which might as well be a web page. Before, you click catalogue and it took you to a menu with clearly subdivided categories for new, popular and sale games. Now it's just one page that you must scroll through to get to the specials. 1/5
Negative review Irritating by anonym
It's good to use for chat. I was trying to look in the store to find a new game to buy, but the page kept refreshing over and over again. 1/5
Neutral review It could do with more features. by anonym
Not so good but can keep you up to date on all games in your wishlist (when they are on sale). But I cant find a way to leave a review, or look at reviews - meaning I dont use the app because I have to use the pc to determine if I want a game. Also now I cant view my own profile because it is private, also where has the library gone? 3/5
Negative review Incorrect login stuff by anonym
I don't know why after I logout,I can't login after that. It keeps saying incorrect login even though I type everything correctly. Waiting for further help thx 2/5
Positive review Loveeeeeed it by anonym
I really love last update. Now I can use steam android same as steam pc. Great job. 5/5
Positive review I CANT CHANGE MY PFP in new update by anonym
It says to upload file which I kept on clicking for ages, and when u click upload it says u haven't chosen a file (duh cos I can't even get on to uploading a file -_-) 4/5
Negative review by anonym
Looks like a web browser now 1/5
Negative review Why very limited options??? by anonym
Why are there only a limited options now?? This new update makes Valve seem like they dont give a rats behind about their users and probably even define them as consumers rather than users. The new options menu looks like a dumb downed version of the older style options menu and not only that but now there seems to be LESS options to choose from...??? What happened to the ongoing app icon i could leave in my notification bar? It was taken out of the Android version of Steam many many updates ago... 1/5
Positive review Eh by anonym
So far so good but I click the upload picture on my profile and it wont work when it does ill give 5 4/5
Negative review Buggy by anonym
This was great until the new update which made it completely unusable making me sign in to disable phone codes but not being able to log in because the phone codes dont work. Had to reset it manually on my pc. Please revert the last patch so i can change my review. 1/5
Positive review New features are wonderful, but should have been there in the first place by anonym
Requests log in info when loading some community pages, such as notifications, despite an account already being selected. 4/5
Negative review Interface by anonym
This new interface is so horrible! Why would you guys change it?! 1/5
Negative review Notifications, always on by anonym
I used to really like using the app as a way to communicate with friends from games, but now it's really hard to keep a convo going. Really would prefer the app to be always on after you check it once. 2/5
Neutral review Chat Groups by anonym
UI is good, but not great. Please let users access the group chats. That would really be a cool feature. 3/5 3/5
Positive review A good app to make use of Steam's community features on the go by anonym
The Steam app was a terrible mess at first and the only thing you could do was just chat with friends and buy games. But now Steam has greatly improved over these months to bring a much needed facelift with a little bit of material design. Although most of these features like trading and the steam market are web coded with a UI similar to the desktop view, it works well enough to justify it. 4/5
Positive review :^) by anonym
Works well 5/5
Positive review Finally we get to see some progress by anonym
The community market games list lags when you drag it out and scroll. Everything else looks fine. Now get the round icon back. I keep telling this after every update. Ffs 4/5
Positive review by anonym
Everything I ever wanted 5/5
Positive review Update, all good now by anonym
*update - seems to be working fine now, thanks a bunch devs!* Using a Galaxy S4 Zoom on 4.2. Steam opens to the friend activity page and I can't navigate out other than selecting games/friends on the feed. The left side bar appears to be missing, no hamburger button on the left, sliding from the left dims the screen as if it's supposed to appear so there's no access to the catalog or settings at all. 4/5
Positive review Latest update bridges the gap between the mobile version and the browser version by anonym
But broadcasts can't be set to run at full screen. Everything else is working fine tho. 4/5
Negative review Steam Guard problems by anonym
It never remembers my browsers especially on mobile devices but thats not my gripe with this app. The problem i have is with the browser within the app, whenever i try to browse the store from within the app it asks me to login which is rediculous enough, so i try to login and i get the steam guard code prompt which is impossible to enter since everytime i switch to the code generator and back the page is gone.. Steam guard doesnt recognize its own app. So to me that confirms just how broken steam guard is. 2/5
Positive review New Features looks cool.Still no group chat. by anonym
Seriously, there have been so many unnecessary updates, and we still don't have group chat.I'm beginning to wonder if Valve is even working on group chat."HERE ARE SOME MUCH MORE COMPLEX FEATURES.STILL NO GROUP CHAT."As an RPer, I would really like group chat so I can RP with more than just 1 friend at a time. 4/5
Positive review Buggy by anonym
Good but chat notifications are sometimes bugged, not telling who messaged me and then telling me that someone else messaged me but nothing. Often need to restart the app every now and then. 4/5
Positive review Used to be Bland, Now Looks Fantastic! by anonym
The news feeds and friend activity page used to be a mess, but after the most recent update the app is easy to navigate and looks visually pleasing to boot. I'm glad Valve's making huge improvements on this side of things. 4/5
Negative review Used to be good by anonym
Notifications used to display in top Taskbar and the app would flash LED for new messages. There should be an option to turn this off or on. With the push notification system now I miss messages constantly or they come in hours after the fact. Add a LED option and fix the atrocious push notification system. 1/5
Neutral review by anonym
Getting better but still needs more fixes 3/5
Positive review Better... by anonym
all the new updates are nice and all but still a few bugs here and there. Also still waiting for stable background connectivity. It was so nice to have in the old apps when it told you in the status bar if steam was running and if it Dc (like doing maintenance or if phone dc from net would just say reconnecting ) Now im never sure if the app is running if i close out to do anything. Other then that and few other things here and there. this app is better. 4/5
Positive review Took 3 Years... by anonym
But we FINALLY have offline messaging! They also can be pushed to your phone if you receive it. I've had the problem with the first chats of the day with someone on PC that the very first message is pushed to your phone regardless, but no biggie. Looks good too compared to what it was--always hated the Apple UI. 5/5
Positive review I love it.! by anonym
This app seems to fulfill everything I need. Easily search games, view catalogs, news, buying, this app is perfect for someone who isn't extremely picky and judgmental about what should be included. 5/5
Negative review WTF by anonym
New update i cant buy or reload steam wallet,everytime trying buy a game,it asking username and password and steam guard.and everytime press steam guard and re-entered cart it will asking again a damn username and password login and steam guard.What a shame Steam 1/5
Positive review Awesome update! by anonym
Seeing the full profile is a huge step, and I love it. It's just a bit clunky, with the profile art showcases flashing. 4/5
Positive review Great by anonym
Took some time, but now the app works really well aside from some small things 4/5
Positive review Has an annoying bug by anonym
When I want to check my friends feed, I have to log in to steam although I'm already logged into the app. So then I have to enter my username and password, followed by my mobile authenticator code. But to get to that I have to go to that part of the app, try to memorize it (bacuse I can't copy-paste) only to be asked for username and password again having to start all over again, while trying to remember the code. But if I check my profile first, it suddenly works..... 4/5
Positive review Looks great, works well with plenty of functionality. by anonym
Just like Steam for Linux-based operating systems (such as Ubuntu), this looks fantastic and works perfectly without issue... I especially like the fact that this application can notify users when an item on their "wish" list is on special! I've given this four stars because let's be honest - there's always room for improvement... But other than that, this application comes highly recommended. 4/5
Positive review Much better! by anonym
The app has been completely redesigned. It is much better! It now basically looks and functions exactly like steam on your desktop. 5/5
Negative review What happened to the features by anonym
Steam guard has been removed, along with the entire menu on the left side and all the features it contained, making this pretty useless. 1/5
Positive review Looking great in 2015 by anonym
I don't know who valve hired, but it is looking great now. After years of languishing in the background, Android steam is finally getting some love. One question though, why add broadcast viewing functionality if the built-in browser doesn't support it? Or is it because my version of Android is too old? If that's the case, please tell me that, or anything about why it fails! 4/5
Negative review Push notifications by anonym
Loved this app for communicating with friends easily over mobile. Now the push notifications aren't working so fluent conversations are hard to come by without constantly checking back on the app to make sure there's no new messages :/ it also no longer has the icon for the notification bar on my phone which I find disappointing. It used to be very straight forward to see the connectivity or if Steam/my network was having any issues. Half the time I wonder if the app is even on. 1/5
