Steam Mobile

The app isn't bad. Some login features can be tricky to use and the overall experience is somewhat worse than desktop. They fixed the UI issue with the queue. I'm sticking with 3 stars though because the app is clunky to use. It's not bad, but browsing sales, checking community pages, and looking at the market are all much worse on here. Mostly things take longer to load but you'll have the occasional page error.

I like the interface a lot, I think it's easy to use. The main reason I'm giving them 5 stars is for support. I lost access to my authenticator and account due to not using it for years. When I wanted back in and realized I was locked out, the support team worked hard to help me regain access, because of my own stupidity. I got to keep the one game I had actually bought at that point and my username, which I'm pretty attached to. Say what you will, but the steam support team are awesome.

I don't know what people are complaining about, this app works fine. For clarity, no, this app doesn't allow you to play PC games on mobile, because that's not how software works. It's basically the app version of the steam website, with some additional features. The QR code login feature is VERY convenient, as I frequently need to sign into my Steam account on other devices, and this app lets do it with the push of a button.

A lot of people are review bombing this app with their personal gripes about transactions made that they didn’t read the description of. Steam isn’t responsible for your early access game getting cancelled and delisted, nor is it responsible for you losing your account cause you refused to update your recovery info for some reason? App works (a solid 90% of the time), I think if you’re looking more into the experimental features and trying to squeeze all of the functionality out of this and rely on it as a solid way to manage your steam library and purchase games while simultaneously downloading them at home, you’re sorely mistaken. This is a solid app to see sales, buy games for your library at home, message and sell your items, other than that I don’t really try to push it too hard haha. This is a solid app if you simply want to be able to browse and buy games while not at your desktop, also if you like trading items. If you don’t know how to read EULAs and point fingers when you can’t read everything laid out in front of you, this app isn’t for you.

The STEAM application on my computer told me to download the mobile application to remove the trade/market holds. This was my first time using the STEAM market, so I thought that sounded great! It worked the moment I activated the Authenticator, allowing me to sell and trade cards. Two days later, my account suddenly has the holds again. I thought I’d simply refresh the Authenticator and it would fix it. I was horribly mistaken. Adding the Mobile Authentication to your account does NOTHING. It does NOT remove trade holds consistently and it extremely frustrating to try and understand. After authenticating for the second time, it not only didn’t release my trade hold, but removed my ability to use the Community Market for 15 DAYS!! I’ll forget all about my trades and badges I was crafting by then! There’s no button to prove that it was you that made the trade, you just have to suffer in silence for 15 days. THIS IS AN AWFUL SYSTEM! If you’re downloading this app just for the authentication, its more worth it to just buy the cards straight up or farm gems than go through sell/trade side of the Community Market. 0/10 experience. All I wanted was badges for my favorite games. P.S. Same thing happened to my friends in the past. NOT JUST ME! VALVE, FIX THIS!! All we need is a “I made that transaction” button! That’s it!! No more holding our stuff for 15 days!

I really like a lot of the new features added in the recent overhaul, being able to redeem codes in the app itself is a huge plus. That said, it’s clear this update was not made with iPads in mind, there’s no support for Landscape orientation. There are major issues with the search function too, typing into the bar doesn’t offer suggestions and tapping return just clears the bar without taking you into a search page. This means i cannot actually search the store within the app. Which, given that this is a storefront first and foremost, is a major problem. With those issues fixed, this is a 5-star app easy. But until then, i can only give it a 3. Please fix this soon! EDIT: landscape support has been added and makes the app much more functional but the search bar still does not work at all, this needs to be fixed asap
