Data Breach for hacker bots. I have a new computer that made a steam account a year ago. I bought seven games to start. Someone signed into their 10 year old account on my device and now I see over a hundred servers in tools and every game they own on MY account. They then uninstalled my two games on my computer from their account. It’s like steam switched the accounts. They then deleted their 10 year account. (It’s in the process of being deleted.) When I sign into my account I see all their games and tools. When they sign into their account, that’s being deleted, they see only two games, mine. We can’t stop steam from hijacking my computer doing whatever they want. So technically right now they are deleting my new account, and then they expect me to autoupdate over 100 game servers from the account that signed into my device. This is a disaster for anyone with cptsd from hacking abuse like me. I guess in the end I can’t use steam at all because they ignore you when you’re telling them what’s going on. My new account is banned from participating in the community when I’ve never even talked to anyone because I have no friends. Thanks to steam for compromising my brand new computer and thanks for forcing me off your platform for no reason at all. To those reading this never let anyone else sign in on your computer even your sibling or they will switch the accounts and destroy your computer. And never let your mom and dad put you and your sibling on the same authentication.

Great to have the app, but too buggy. I use this app constantly when I don’t have my computer, but it’s just too buggy. When I’m viewing lists of games, I can’t tap on games to view their store pages, it just reloads the page. Additionally, when trying to view my inventory in the market when I press the “sell” button, I can’t see my inventory items. Additionally, I get caught in an inescapable menu pop-up sometimes when viewing my library. There are other issues too, but those are the big ones. Hope these get resolved soon!

Terrible, only get if you have to.. Terrible App. You’d think they would have at least a semi-decent app but you can trust the App Store reviews for sure on this one. Actual trash. I’m completely locked out from using the app with my account or any account for that matter. I changed my password because someone logged into my account from another country, and now it has me in a non-stop loop of trying to log me in and acting like it did, not actually logging me in though, verifying my account info when I’m trying to go on community page/look at my profile, and then giving me the same error message over and over. Sometimes, the screen just freezes gray in the app and I can’t do anything in the app unless I delete the app and re-download, AND THEN it still only works for a little bit before it starts crashing again. To top it all off, because I’ve been trying to log in since I’m trying to verify that everything in my account is OKAY after someone tried getting into it, I have been locked out of my account for trying to login too many times. I still don’t know if my account’s okay. Not worth the migraine.

Functions well enough but…. When I do a search and hit return, any of the search results do not take me to the actual games when I tap on them. It just puts me at the top of the list. It works fine when I don’t hit return, but usually the visible results are a limited list. Otherwise things function well enough. I can buy games. I love the ability to use the app to log into my Steam account on other devices. I wish more services would do the same. The app definitely could use a good bit of streamlining, too. I agree with other reviews that talk about how cluttered it is.

Cannot Create New Account; Valve Does Not Have Customer Support. I am a new user trying to create a new account. However, I cannot create a new account due to Valve using broken “Recaptcha.” It makes you click boxes of grainy images to verify if you are a person. Well, you go throw Recaptcha multiple times for it only to tell you it’s wrong, EVERY TIME. I know it’s not wrong!!! Upon searching this issue, it turns out this is a common issue. However, none of the “quick fixes” worked. I have tried so many times now it locked me from creating an account! After this, I attempted to contact Valve via the phone. THEY DO NOT HAVE OVER THE PHONE CUSTOMER SUPPORT!!! How can you, as a multi-billion dollar company, not even have customer support set up? You’re telling me I cannot set up this account for my children because the picture box thing won’t work? Unbelievable. I will not be using any of steams products, ever.

An underwhelming experience. It has come far from the days of just messaging people or opening up steam pages and crashing, so I thought with this new update it might be able to breath new air into the app. I was half right, the update/overhaul to the UI and some needed QOL of changes such as not crashing anytime I do something have been helpful and while the UI feels cleaner and less clunky; I cannot say the same for its navigation experience. Often times I will be wanting to wishlist or buy games and the icons simply won’t register being clicked and it isn’t very clear that clicking on a title vs clicking on the thumbnail will warrant a different result. Search bar is mediocre, often clicking multiple links within the app confuses it and can result in certain processes not loading and requiring a hard reset. In conclusion the app has lots of potential but as of now it’s a 6/10 from me.

3.0 was long overdue!. Holy molly what a change update 3.0 has brought to this app. It looks modern, feels snappy, and is incredibly simple compared to the mess the app was before. I didn’t realize (probably more like I didn’t care) the state the app was in before, it did its job and for me that was good enough but now looking back it was a nightmare compared to what’s there now. Only thing I’ll miss is the messaging part being apart of the main app.

Could use more features. The desktop app is way better in my option. But having this on go is alright. The app could use more features like loading into store and seeing steam achievements maybe even seeing the cards. Feel like settings could be it’s own tab. Customize tabs would be a good feature. I would like to see my library of games built into the app. Having more access to download a game would be great. I have seen with PlayStation sort of. Just some recommendations but I wish it was a little bit better.

Idk what to do. I got this on my phone because I don't have a laptop/computer to begin with, I can't find a way to create an account on this and if there isn't a feature for that let me know because then this review isn't necessary. I can only sign in, I can't sign up. I don't know if it's me or if the app just doesn't have that. I gave this five stars so it doesn't change the star count for the worst, this is just a question and I'm too lazy to find somewhere else to ask.

iOS 17.2 sideload update. Dear valve, I’m wondering when will be updated to support sideloading I would also like to know what this means for your computer exclusive games like team fortress two or half-life will you add mobile ports for those who really want to play the game but don’t have enough money for a computer or don’t have enough money for games like half-life. I really hope that a sideload update happens and I really hope I get to play with my favorite games on mobile.

Steam Can’t Sign in Due to Poor or No Connection. I was in the middle of posting screenshots on Steam on my PC when Steam suddenly can’t due to no connection. I tried logging off and then logging in, but now it can’t log in because there’s no connection. This is ridiculous because I have full Wi-Fi on my computer. I tried restarting it and tried to sign into Steam again, but still nothing. All I ask is that this issue is resolved ASAP so that I can still finish posting screenshots and access other features of Steam.

Missing features. I use this app often, as my computer is very slow and this (mostly) loads a lot faster. However, there are quite a few features missing in regards to the points shop. The main two are: 1. There is no way to search the points shop 2. There is no way to access the points shop for a specific game Also, the app gets more and more laggy the more actions you do (I am no expert, but I would guess that this is due to the fact that you can press the back arrow to go to wherever you just were, and it is probably keeping those loaded). Ok app, very useful, please fix.

Terrible, yet what I’ve expected from Valve. This company has had steam mobile for at least 8 or 9 years now and it was broken the entire time. You couldn’t change your profile picture, your name, messages would resend nonstop, you’d lose connection literally nonstop, then valve decides they’re going to make two separate apps and you have to download them both. And guess what? Same issues! Can’t change your profile pic, can’t change your name, messages resend, connection loses constantly. Valve is laughably bad at making apps, they haven’t figured out how to do it in 9 years and they never will.

Terrible Customer Service. I understand the refund policy is within 14 days and less than 2 hours played. I just had ACL reconstruction surgery and had family over to check on me. During this time a game I just purchased finished downloading and sat on the main menu for over 4 hours. I played 30 minutes of character setup and the tutorial to find out this game wasn’t as expected. I explained the situation in the refund request, and subsequently 4 others, which were declined. I cannot believe any company would not take exception in this scenario, especially for a loyal customer wanting to exchange said game for another. This company does not care about their customers at all. I will use another platform to pass time during my recovery.

I was disappointed. Honestly, I’ve seen a TON of videos showing great games and how great this app is! And it looked amazing! So I tried downloading it. I snapped and was disappointed. It wouldn’t even let me CREATE AN ACCOUNT. I tried tons of passwords and usernames and nothing worked! There is no edit button so I can’t go back to see if there’s a “create account” button or something. So I deleted it and retried, opens it from app, and just about everything more! My own PHONE saved the account but I still couldn’t even create an account! There was a sign in. That’s it. I couldn’t acces or do ANYTHING AT ALL. I didn’t even give the dang app a experience!!!! Please fix this.

New update massively improves things. Some things I’ve noticed: The app crashes whenever you hide notifications in the notification tab When you click store, then free games, it has an oval icon with tags that run over and past it I don’t think there’s a way to see my library as I have put my games in folders on the Steam desktop app Community market does not seem to work, gives message “The market is unavailable for the following reason(s): Steam is having trouble using your browser’s cookie. To remove this restriction…”

Purchasing is broken for months and remains so.. The app is mainly useless other than browsing the store. If you try and purchase something , at least with PayPal payments , the checkout process just hangs. Forever. Most of the time. Tried purchasing a game in April 2023 and again now in July 2023 and both times the PayPal checkout just hung. Known issue - there is a steam message board thread about it. Just uninstalled the app and used the phone web browser to use steam. That works fine. The iOS steam app is just broken and valve seems to have zero interest in getting it fixed - odd as it’s like an department store with a broken register they refuse to fix so customers keep leaving without buying product.

Fun. It would be great if I was even able to select the option to get steam guard codes sent to my phone but it just refuses to do so, no matter which way I try to do it, so now I’ll just go back to the email so it can get hacked by yet another Russian to sell my items I will never get back and never even got a notification that they had been sold til months later. Thanks steam, super helpful!!! (Also whoever was in charge of this new UI update needs to be immediately fired, anyone with eyes can tell this is a severe downgrade. And just move everything around justttt enough to anger us when those hackers change the language to chinese again)

Finally an improvement!. While I'm glad the app is finally updated I feel it's still flawed in some ways. I like the direction you guys are heading but I still feel the UI is a bit cluttered, quite easy to get lost for a second... especially when the first thing you open to is the QR Scanner. While I can see the probable reason for it being done that way, I was kind of confused and lost at first.. maybe that's just because I'm used to the old app layout.. lol. I also feel the store page is a bit cluttered and crammed.. feels like you guys just tried to make the desktop store page shrink to fit a phone's resolution. It'd be nice to see a more mobile friendly, less crammed store page.. Reduce recommended, new and promoted content. Compartmentalize games a bit better, behind genre specific tabs/buttons that lead to pages that'll infinitely scroll. "New and trending" "Top Sellers" "Popular Up and coming"... these are all high traffic tabs that should be at the top of the store page amongst the genre specific buttons I had mentioned earlier. I feel as though I had to scroll too far to find these things, someone may lose interest or become overwhelmed by the amount of clutter on the page to find the things they're looking for.. Try to deviate from the desktop store and go for a more mobile friendly aesthetic. Please push updates more frequently!!!!!

The new version adds much needed features but…. 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

EDIT: Good redesign. I have replaced my previous negative 2 star review with this new four star review thanks to the redesign, which has greatly improved the app. However, we shouldn't need a dedicated two factor authentication app just for steam. I would want this app just for it's library perusing/ store browsing features, but OTP Auth is already a technology with a generalized format that can be used in multiple password managers. Please integrate with wha everyone else is using so that we can have a less disrupted experience logging into steam.

Finally, A New Era. At last, the Steam mobile app has been updated. Long have we awaited this newly refreshed interface, graduating from its old, archaic roots. It appears as a breath of fresh air, though it still lacks efficient accessibility in some ways. If only we were able to access our closest of friends and our conversations with them from the bottom bar. The update has been a grandiose evolution, yet the masses still crave more.

Horrible navigation, not user friendly at all. Somehow it's worse than the old app. Navigation through the app is almost impossible. You get stuck and it loads stuff that you don't even click (example: after browsing something on the community page, pressing friend activity doesn't load what it's supposed to and just keeps it on whatever the last community page was). It's like this through the entire app. While it looks better (not even that great), it performs way less and hardly works.

easy and pleasant to use. I don’t understand why this app has so many bad reviews. They redesigned it and it’s very easy to browse the store on your phone. Some people are complaining that they can’t play games on their phone. That’s just stupid. Obviously, a game made for PC and only downloadable on PC is not playable from your phone. The purpose of this app is to give mobile access to the steam store, not play games.

Years of absolute frustration. For the record, I was a early adopter of STEAM for PC. I have a long standing account and a huge library. I was excited for this app when it came out. But after years of constant frustration I’m done with it. It’s amazing how you guys can make your PC app work flawlessly 98% of the time but cannot seem to fix the blatant issues with this iOS app. Today I was locked in family view. I could access everything fine through PC. I could even access family view settings with my family view password. However, I still couldn’t get to the store page because it kept giving me a error for validating the password. I removed and reloaded app and it just became worse. Got it to work once and then black screen of death. Delete/reload again (3times) to same effect. I’m done with this disaster and having to use it for steam guard for the safest version of steam guard is a joke. I’m convinced you folks don’t care because it’s been a craptastic app since it’s inception!

The Attention!. Thank you for finally giving this app some attention. This app is an important part of your eco system. A feature that I have always wanted: being able to download and play purchased soundtracks in this app. The only reason I never buy soundtracks through steam is because I don’t know how to listen to them. I have some soundtracks and they sit on my computer and that is not desirable, convincing or practical. Please consider the soundtrack feature. Thanks for updating the app. I hope this is only the beginning of your journey to make this app great!

Great app, but also pretty broken. I love the idea of being able to access Steam from my phone when I’m not home, and it’s convenient if I don’t have access to my PC. Overall, it’s a great app to use when I’m away, but this app also has quite a few flaws. The user interface is kinda buggy and slow, kind of feels like a website on a console. Whenever I add funds to my wallet, I usually have to restart the app for them to appear, even through the payment has been processed. There aren’t a lot of problems in the app, but when there are, it’s pretty annoying. Besides the cons, this app is very nice to use and gives a great user experience when it works.

I go to my favorite games on here. So I really liked Garry’s mod and people playground and my cousin who I don’t see a lot let me play people playground and I loved it and I asked my mom if I could get people playground but it didn’t work Later a few months later I get it to work and it turned out she did it wrong and I got it to work and asked her if I could buy these games with the rest of my money and she said yes and I got them and now I am literally addicted to the games

The app feels out of date.. For an app that’s supposed to be for convenience and ease of use, it lacks in that department. Most apps nowadays usually off it as a helping hand on the side if you’re in a browser especially on a mobile device where sometimes seeing everything is key. Another issue is being able to use the store. Why does the app redirect you to a site that doesn’t even load completely especially if you’re trying to use PayPal as a form of payment? They have an app now so if people have that app and this app is directing them to either a site that won’t even load or something worse then how can I trust the app?

Notifications wont ever load.. When the app updated for the first time I was able to see my notifications just fine, and this lasted for about a week. But after this week, I haven't been able to load my notifications ever. Ive tried different wifi networks, different parts of my house, different places in general (i.e. the park, a donut shop, etc [all using their wifi]) but nothing ever makes the notifications load. What's frustrating about this is the app will send a push notification saying that I have a new trade offer, but I can't go to the notifications tab to see it. I have to manually go to my trade offers to be able to see it.

Completely broken. In general I’m a fan of Steam, but this app is a mess. I’ve always put up with minor bugs, like not being able to click on search results (the screen would just refresh instead of opening the game page), but after changing my password on my pc the app is now completely unusable. At first it wouldn’t let me in at all, then after disabling the app based authenticator and logging out on all devices, I can now get in, but nothing works. Everything I try to do now causes the app to attempt to verify my login, then times out. And every time I close the app, I’m logged out entirely again. I can still log in on my pc and phone’s browser with zeros issues, so the app is definitely the issue. I’ve tried reinstalling it multiple times, and even logging in with different accounts, and the result is the same — the app is fried. I filed a ticket, so we’ll see what support has to say, but given the lack of support other users are getting with this buggy mess of an app, I’m not hopeful. A company this big, profitable, and successful needs to do better.

Clunky updates worsen user experience. Just updated for the first time in a long time. The only good thing to emerge from the update is the ability to use steam guard QR codes. Beyond that, some “bright” young dev took away the ability to access steam chat directly via the app, and the app instead reroutes you to your internet browser to log in to steam’s website… Why would I bother using your now worthless app… instead of just booting up safari and going to steam to log in??? Further, the UI is garbage for a mobile app… it’s like they only ever had devs who made website UI try to blunder their way thru making an app UI. No one cares or needs a “news” tab. This isn’t a social media site - no one cares about having a list that shows them EVERY update for EVERY game they own. In conclusion, it is sad to see the mobile app fall into such a state of disrepair (thru bad updates no less). I used to use the app frequently to text friends while they were in game, and to check out new games. Now I’ll only open it on rare occasion for steamguard. I hope the devs read this, and maybe make changes. I’ve always been a fan of the steam app up until now. Wish I wouldn’t have updated it.

Horrible and Annoying. I’ve had it for about 2 years and i finally started using it again. I tried using the steam market to sell something, i need a conformation to sell it. I open up the app and it immediately crashes. I tried for 5 minutes turning the Wi-Fi off and on until i gave up and deleted it. I re-downloaded it and i have to sign in. I finally sign in and i have to wait 15 days to use the market again. And even when it didn’t crash, it wouldn’t even put the item on market, it would just stay on hold. Only reason i use this is for the couple of times it works. Hate it and a waste of time

Getting Better. I like that it is getting better to navigate, however, it is still impossible to put in keys while in the mobile app. I missed out on timed deals because of this. The only way you can do it on your phone is on the website. But, now if you access the site from a browser on the phone it auto opens the app 😡 Getting really frustrated with this. Please enable entering keys on the mobile app! Some of us are too busy and can’t be around our pc!

The best thing that gives this five stars. A lot of people don’t like this app for some reason. But this small little detail perfects the app. The reason why is Fez is in the picture! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Fez is the best game on Steam, yet no one’s heard of it. I won’t bore you with it, but I have to say great job Steam! I also saw a sliver of Portal 2 in there as well. And I was thinking to congratulate you. But the thing is, Portal was an amazing game series made by Valve. Valve made steam. So Valve, if you’re reading this… MAKE A PORTAL 3 ALREADY YOU DID IT WITH HALF LIFE ITS PORTAL’S TURN

Looks better but isn’t. The new interface looks better so that’s good I guess? To be honest, who cares what it looks like when it still doesn’t function that well? It was a bad app before that people, in general, only used for messaging but the new interface actually makes messaging even harder thus making an almost useless app even more useless. Steam has been around for a long time and I still can’t think of something that is this unfriendly to the user. Steam on PC doesn’t even work that great but this app is really bad.

Issues. I’ve used steam for years. Its been easy to download & buy games and I’ve had no issues with it. However, last month I got a new computer and I needed to login to my steam account on it. I wrote down my passwords and I have them all saved in my phone, but it kept telling me my email or password was wrong. So, then I went through and reset & changed my password MANY times and it still wouldn’t let me. I wanted to get back into MY account because I have many purchases from stream, and stream support does not help whatsoever. So id advise you try to stay signed into your account🙏

App is broken since overhaul. Ever since they updated to the new look, the app barely functions. The app locks up 100% of the time upon opening now. I have to open background apps and close it down completely, and even that doesn’t work every time. If I search for a game in the store the only way I can see the store page for the game is to select it from the suggested games list that pops below where you type. If I complete my search and try to pick the game from the games list, nothing happens. And it’s been like this for months. I like the visual style, but at least make sure it actually works before forcing everyone to update, or at the very least make some updates to improve this awful app.

Very polished, but a couple issues. The majority of the bugs that used to exist in this new app have been patched, which gives this new app a very polished experience. There is still one bug which kind of translates into 2, which is the scaling of UI elements. For people who use larger on screen text for accessibility or have a smaller screen size, the app just breaks. Buttons to accept Steam Guard confirmations don’t fit on the screen and the app can’t be properly used. Landscape mode also works on phones, even though it really should only work on iPads. If you try to tilt your phone sideways on the Steam Guard screen, things get crazy. And the notch blocks things as well. I also wish the video player would be fixed too, you have to tap where you think the unmute button is, and then tap to go fullscreen, but you just get a black window. You then have to close the video and re enter it repeatedly until it works in fullscreen, which is very aggravating. This is on iOS 15 on an iPhone 12.

No support. So my account started to get hacked from Russia per steam email I went to my computer logged into steam. Not from the email off my phone but straight from steam website. After that I got a email from steam saying my password has successfully been updated. Great but then when I try to login it won’t except either the new or old passwords. It locked me out and says I have to contact steam. 1 day later no response from steam and they have made it impossible to contact them. My account still lets me access the recovery and lets me change the pad and confirms that the new password was excepted but then nothing still says wrong password. Can someone help me figure out how to get them to respond?

Steam customer service is “steam”ing alright. I understand that me moving a lot is going to complicate things when it comes to cellphone numbers being wrong and being updated. So when it comes to authentication I just use the app… oh wait the app randomly logs me out of it anyways and then asks me to authenticate myself with the app!! Excellent!! Also why does it seem like the Steam help personnel think that freaking super villains are trying to hack my account? Why should I have to remember the entire debit card information I used 4 freakin’ years ago to confirm that I am who I say I am? I would love a 24-hr help line where I could just talk to someone instead of sending a dumb little form over the internet that takes 2 days to get back to me with a reply with a question that no normal person can possibly answer. The help center needs improvement because at its current state I think I would rather just off myself!

Too buggy. Seems poorly optimized, this app frequently stalls and freezes on me. Especially for running on an iPhone 13. Very frustrating. For example, I literally just clicked on a link in safari to a steam forum discussion, which took me straight to this app. However the app would not load the actual discussion. It just froze as a blank page. I tried this multiple times with the same result. I literally had to uninstall this app so I could even view the forum since it kept opening this app automatically. Steam, you’re a multi-billion dollar company, why does you’re app run worse than the ones from even new startups? Come on!!

Can’t believe steam cant fix their app. As the title says there’s multiple problems with this app. Everyone says that to verify your email you have to download the app which sounds like a pain. Even when you try to use the app however it’s riddled with bugs and remove so many things i don’t understand why. The 2 biggest for me is how you have to download a separate app to text people when they had that option before. The other is how buggy the store is. If you apply filters and look at a game that interests you, the filters reset. Not to mention you cant see the price of games UNTIL you click on the game, reseting yours filters. Sometimes the page would just randomly reset the filters and you’re back at the start of the page. Want to choose what page you were at? Too bad you have to keep pressing load more to view more games. These are just the bugs that come to mind for now but theres many more.

They actually listen!. I wrote a review over the recent update, which heavily improved the UI into a much cleaner experience, but also removed landscape mode, which made using the app on iPad a bit of a pain. They wasted no time in implementing yet another update, now adding landscape support for tablets. I can’t give this anything other than a 5 star review now. I love the interface, and the fact that they’re quick to fix things instead of leaving it broken is a massive plus.

Adding a phone number for 2fa and PayPal is garbage. Xbox and PlayStation have entering 2fa and PayPal be the easiest thing on the planet. Valve has made it beyond miserable just to do the basic features. They have my phone number but I still can’t set up 2fa via mobile and PayPal on the app NEVER works. Instead I’ve got this Steam Guard that could not be anymore confusing. Why can’t Valve just spend some money and hire competent coders for a better app & mobile system. I’m sure my problems are nonexistent on a full blown windows pc but I don’t have one of those. Just like tinkering on the Deck, I’ll have to scour the ends of the earth to resolve these mobile & app issues. Be better

Item store is broken. There’s an infuriating bug that happens way too often where I buy game items, and the cart won’t let me proceed with a purchase. I use any number of mobile browsers as a workaround, but all comes back to the app at the Authorize stage, and then the app opens to a blank page and won’t let me finalize purchases. Sometimes, when I try to open a skin to purchase, the button to add to cart is so tiny, but there’s old items in the cart that don’t belong there, and, once again, the checkout is blank. Please fix this!

No Customer Support. Apparently, you can only contact customer support if you’re logged in. Long story short I was trying to log in and it kept saying my password was wrong. I decide to reset my password and after following the steps I get a message that says “self-recovery is not available for this account because additional security verification is required. Please contact customer support.”. Every time I try to find a way to contact support it asks me to login. There is no email or number to be found anywhere. Where do I go from here? Literally spent money on this platform and can’t even get help lol.

This app is horrible…other than verification. I’ve never had issues with the verification side of this, so that’s a plus. But if you want to use the app for literally any other function, it is not usable in my experience. The app is incredibly unintuitive, and has been made somehow worse than it was before. I can’t tap of friend’s profiles, I can’t open games within the store if I search them, and the community tab has been made worse than it was. Maybe for other people the new update made the app better, but for my phone it made an already mediocre app unusable (other than the verification, that works great).

Account changes break the app. I had to change my password while the app had the authenticator active using the app. First of all, it would not let me do this using the app even though everything on the website redirects you to the app. It asks you to confirm the password change using the app, but since it’s basically loading a webpage within the app itself it never registers that you’re already in the app and you can’t confirm anything. Second, when you finally change your password using a browser and app combo, if you have the authenticator active on the app, the app completely breaks. You’re still “logged in” using the old password, but since your password has changed nothing works because your credentials are wrong. It also won’t let you log out because the authenticator is active. This problem continues even after you remove the authenticator from your account using a browser. For as much money as steam has you’d think they could afford to pay someone with competence to not have everything fall apart when you try to simply change your password. It’s like the steam webpage, authenticator, and app are all made by separate conpanies in separate countries and nobody speaks the same language or has any way to communicate with each other. Pathetic.

Was a great app until this new “improved” version. I loved having the Steam app on my phone. I could easily check which friends are online, send and receive chat messages, steam guard two factor,browse the store, purchase games, and remote install games all in one, single, intuitive app. Now this trash juice wants me to install a whole other app just to check my messages??? Oh hellllllll no. It takes a lot for me to install a company’s app on my phone. Absolutely no way I am installing multiple apps to keep the same functionality that I’ve had for years in a single app. Uninstalling this after years of use soon as I’m finished this review.

Latest version cannot see wish list. It now says cannot connect to steam server when I try to view my wish list. But can view games in the steam store

No landscape mode. Why are so many apps being released currently with no capability to rotate to landscape? With the release of the new app, we are stuck in portrait mode. Landscape mode gives me easier access to the keyboard, allows me to use my iPad stand, and provides a more comfortable view for most apps. I’m an app developer myself. Providing flexibility in layout is important. Being stuck in portrait mode stinks. Please fix it.

Update unnecessary. They decided to change the layout of the app for no reason and moved friends and chat into another app. I ain’t downloading another app just to access that.

Useless. On iphone it works for about 5 minutes before you need to close the app down and restart it because it glitches out and is unresponsive. Its worse than before they updated it

Search still BROKEN. What is the point in redirecting mobile Steam store links to the app if you cannot use the store to search for games & go their page? This has been broken for ages.

horrible. Huge step down from the old, completely functional version. Terrible update, would give zero if I could.

It’s amazing. It’s amazing I love the new updates but just doesn’t work on iPads but I don’t used a iPad anyways!

Great breath of fresh air. What a great breath of fresh air the new app is - finally Steam has decided to be merciful of mobile users and fix their app! New app is great; responsive, consistent with PC, and fixes the sign on issues of the previous app. Well done devs!

New look, same broken mess. If you launch the app in landscape orientation, product search flat out doesn’t work. A lot of the time tapping Wishlist takes you to the page of the last product you were looking at, and you have to close and reopen the app to restore correct functionality. I could easily go on; there are just so many glaring bugs like this. Absolutely disgraceful for a company with such a huge user base.

Hate the update. I guess I found out why the old app was around so long… Really dislike the new app. Aside from my personal hatred of the new Steam Guard (no I don’t want to scan a QR!!), the app is buggy and broken. Every time I use the app I discover another thing broken. Given the app is a glorified browser for the steam website I don’t know how there are so many problems.

Now they have all our money. The new PC client is pathetic and you can’t downgrade to older versions. The have all our money from buying games now we forced to accept app updates that have removed customisation that let us control how the store and library looked.

One feature missing…. Would love to see the ability to look at my games based on the categories I made. Having over 300 games makes it hard to scroll through. Categorising makes looking through them much easier than scrolling down through one massively long list.

Lacks landscape mode. The removal to view the app in landscape has essentially killed the app for me. Looks like I’ll only be using the app for the Authenticator. A real shame since before the new updated redesign I actually used the app a lot to browse the steam store and to make purchases.

Forced to install and use now useless app. This app is now only on my phone for 2 Factor Authentication It used to be useful as it had chat and friend integration. Now it does not, which makes this app completely useless to me other than 2FA I will never install the separate chat app and thank you to whoever the brain dead individual(s) who thought it was a good idea to split a key functionality out of what was once a useful phone app I used to use on almost a daily basis. You people won at complete and utter stupidity!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡

Sigh Valve.... You absolutely botched this app into oblivion. I can't even open searched games in the store. It just glitched the list back to the top. So I can't even buy games from my mobile app while away from my PC. And there is so many other bugs and issues plaguing this app. Absolutely terrible experience, we never asked for this "new" broken version...

Instant crash under iOS 11. Just updated to latest version that claims to support iOS11 and above and it just instantly crashes on launch. Unusable.

1 step work, 2 steps broken. First positive about this latest version is the store page looks new and accessible. Now the negative Last version I was able to open the game pages through the list of new releases and upcoming games now this feature doesn't even work. Every time I'm on the games list and tap on any game to access the game page it would just refresh the games list and does nothing. This has been a problem for awhile now and still on this version and even on PC. Every time I want to rate a review helpful or not Steam would give me a process 13 error which is the most annoying thing that's been on Steam for a long time now.

Reinvent the wheel. App worked fine before update and UI overhaul, now it just crashes all the time and doesn’t work

Browser works better. Open links and it directs you to the app, need to login to view and when logged in does not load properly. Steam works better in a browser

Terrible, inefficient app. Was trying to login through the QR scanner, only to find out it doesn’t work since there is no button for it. The whole layout in general is absolute garbage and there is barely any features. Horrible app, do not recommend.

significantly improved over the old experience. while steam mobile is a somewhat niche app, it completes its core functionality of providing steamguard and gives you a mobile way to use the store. there’s only so much they can do to mask that steam is and always has been a thin UI over a web browser, but it’s certainly better than it was.

Buggy mess. I search a game and can’t even open it to view the store page. It just refreshes the search. Tells you all you need to know about this horrible buggy app. I rarely leave reviews on apps or the App Store but this app is so bad it deserves the 1 star

Great update. Finally the mobile app gets an update. It’s well designed, easy to navigate and for what the app is intended to do (Library and Store management) it’s great.

Good app. I wish you can stream ganes from my pc to my phone

Cant create an account. I downloaded the app and it takes me to the sign in page and there is no option to create an account

No keyboard. No matter where I click, including search bar, no keyboard comes up. To register my mobile I had to write it in a different app and it Jen copy and paste it in.

Garbage. Freezes and gets stuck on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Tapping an item on my wish list doesn’t take me the to store page. This app is hot trash and the developers clearly don’t know how to make an app that works.

Completely broken. The app search function is broken, and has been for about a year or so, with absolutely no word from valve on fixing this most basic feature. You search for a game, get a list of results, and then clicking on one just refreshes the page and refuses to link to the store page. This is on iPhone and iPad, currently updated to the latest operating system. That’s literally all I want to use this app for, searching for and then purchasing games and it doesn’t actually work for that, so it’s useless. If valve would even acknowledge the problem and that they’re working on it, that would be nice, but they haven’t so I guess they’re not? In which case, why push this new app out when the old one actually did what it was designed for? Ridiculous behaviour and support for such a large company.

Cannot complete purchase. Tried purchasing games as a gift for people over Christmas some 3 months ago and now today. The PayPal button takes me off the app and just shows a yellow banner saying PayPal. Cannot complete purchases please fix

4 and a half stars but 2 possible really good features…. 2 things pls Valve, 1) pls make it so that you can save your steam replay as like a PDF file or something like that. 2) please add like a cloud gaming thing so that on the steam app (or another one) you can like use like the Xbox cloud gaming thing, because t for STEAM. Thank you, and overall, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2⭐️

Notifications. The app is a huge step up from what it was like before. It works pretty well but with the exceptions of a lot of bugs and a bit laggy. One thing to note is that the notifications don’t work, I have push notifications enabled in settings and turned on what I want to get notified but I don’t actually get the notifications on my phone, only in app. Otherwise the features on the app are really useful just needs improvements fixing the bugs.

Needs updates. Please bring back messaging people,this new update is difficult to learn as now the ability to chat has been removed

Slow and frustrating. This app doesn’t respect video autoplay settings, doesn’t remember what community discussion you had open after you browse the store and is slow. An absolute joke from a multi billion dollar company.

Complete and utter Junk. Try again, Valve. Epic Fail.. What’s the use in the app if you can’t search anything and open the page for the game ou’re looking at? Total trash. I do love the service Steam provides in terms of being a store, but this is basic stuff Valve, come on. Also the buttons on the bottom of the app screen have no accessibility labels so they’re utterly useless to those with a screen reader. You have failed, it’s junk, burn and start again. You lose,. I don’t like being harsh, but this really is basic, simple stuff here. If you can’t get this right, you get roasted from me.

Keyboard does not come up. Trying to search for something in one of the text fields but keyboard does not pop up no matter how hard I try. Embarrassing fail 😡

Absolute garbage. The Steam app was bad before, but this new update (3.2) is something else. Chat's been stripped out of the app, several buttons only work once - if at all, parts of the screen are cut off and landscape mode - the one thing that barely made the app usable on a phone - is completely gone now. If you have a tablet or a very large phone, the app might be tolerable, but if not, everything is completely oversized to the point of illegibility. A lot of text in the app loo... lik.. thi... with no way to expand it and the app ignores both iOS's text size setting and Safari's website zoom setting. The Steam website's "view desktop website" setting is absent from the app, too (although that's also useless without the ability zoom the screen in/out). I recommend only using this app as an authenticator and sticking with the desktop client or a regular web browser for anything else.

Garbage. Complete useless garbage. It’s just a browser window for their mobile steam website but it barely works on iOS. Can’t do anything properly except landing page for steam store. I can’t really understand how a software company can release something so awful. Devs should be ashamed of this.

10/10 app 1/10 for bugs. Well the app is good but there some bug that change your language and I tried to find every way possible to change but won’t do I tried uninstalling but that did nothing

I need help. For some reason when i go to play a game it doesn’t let me. I click the ‘yeah i have steam’ option, but it wont process it. I’M ON THE APP, and it won’t let me play

It’s good now.. They’ve refreshed and redesigned this app ALOT. Now it’s much faster and overall better to use with a new look.

Steam more like sceam. This is a scam if you had a computer you would’ve just went on computer to play but on mobile you need to waste hundreds of dollars for a computer so you can just play on computer and make steam make you forget all about your mobile device it’s…a…scaaaama…don’t download this if you have a computer just use it

Steam. The steam mobile app will not let me sign in because every time I make a password it says incorrect and I try every thing but it won’t allow men to get in?

Horrible update. Seriously the format and everything doesn’t work, the way it was before was far better, I can’t search for games as it literally just doesn’t work when I enter what I typed, the no landscape option is absolutely horrible. Trying to figure out a completely new layout is just annoyingly unnecessary, please just upgrade the app by taking this abhorrent update down and rethinking what it is the app really needs.

Useless. This app is so bad, it wouldn’t even let me type the correct characters in to verify my account. They were pressing properly on my phone but the app wasn’t registering the correct input. Deleted.

New update. While the new update visually looks good, the app functions more as a store now than the social app I once used it for. The decision to separate chat into its own app is not a good one. Why can’t they both be integrated into one app? The friends tab in the new update is hard to find and difficult to use, with the mini profile appearing halfway off the screen. Needing two apps to do what I only needed one app to do in the past is incredibly frustrating.

Trading now issuing bans on this app?. After 3 trades and a market listing, i get the following message when trying to access my inventory: You've made too many requests recently. Please wait and try your request again later. Why is this even a thing? this renders the app somewhat useless for me.

3 stars. I give this 3 stars because for some weird reason when it try’s to get the guard app up it keeps bringing me to this app (I have already downloaded) so it is kinda weird other then that it is pretty good.

Fixing what wasn’t broken. The new update literally just made the app worse, stripping chat out into an entirely seperate app for literally no discernible reason. And making the UI annoying to navigate with its current implementation

Somethings not right here. Messages not going through, chat app asking for photo ID? Authentication no’s not going through. In today’s world I need a app that secures my steam accounts and is reliable, if you are going to integrate technology like this, make sure it works, or allow other authentication apps to fill the need. Fix it or ditch it.

Steam Guard fail. Logging on to this app, after many years, suddenly resulted in a black screen. The problem was that I needed “Steam Guard” from this app to logon to Steam on my PC. This way annoying, to say the least, and it took hours before was able to logon to Steam on my PC again. I’m not sure if I’ll be using Steam Guard (or this app) again. Addendum: After removing and reinstalling this app, it did fix the problem. I’m still unimpressed and I’m still not inclined to use this app anymore.

trash now. just revert back good old times when steam and chat all in one app

Finally updated. Finally updated and works so much better now.

Why. Can’t even log into my account and the steam app wont even load like all I want to do is login into my account

Worst app. Never use steam the captcha on pc is not working so you cant go on your acount you should try an other app to play your game

Update killed it. New update requiring a different worse app to use messenger has made me uninstall both as they have become tedious and no longer convenient. Tried it again now some time later, still awful, they made it somehow so much worse don’t download

thumbs down. worst experience ever on a mobile app. need to go through a cyclical process of 7 different authentications so i can sell anything on the market, for THEIR OWN currency. absolute trash and needs a complete rework for all apple users, also known as 90% of the population

Still not fixed after release. Lots of navigation issues when pressing the back button. Still can’t view other profiles inventory when trading, it locks you out. Severe issues with security, QR codes don’t always work. Chat has been taken away to another app so others are harder to contact. The changes are not for the better, why were they necessary?

This app is trash. Authenticator keeps on getting error. Can’t sign in because the authenticator doesn’t work. It keeps on giving errors and it prevents you from logging in. Even deleting the authenticator from my account gives error. It is trash.

add the friend chat back. Add the friend chat back

Broken App.. I’m very frustrated at the app. When signing in, because I have family mode enabled, I have to sign in/authenticate from my phone every time. This is frustrating, but wouldn’t be over-the-top. In the last few weeks, even when I approve the login for my computer, it doesn’t authenticate and I have to use the QR code. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and now the app completely freezes, and hangs out on a grey screen. I can close it, but opening it doesn’t make a difference. Very frustrating and a waste of time.

,. Only thing is that steam chat and link are different apps, but it does what I need it to.

Issue. I enter my username and password correctly. I literally have it saved. When I try putting it in here on the app, it says it’s incorrect. Please fix this issue it’s getting really irritating.

Not working. I got a new phone recently (IPhone 8 to IPhone 13) phone number is all the same. When I try to log in to Steam app, it says I need to verify from my steam guard which I’m trying to log in to… and some how I can’t receive text messages from steam as well. So annoying.

Amazing facelift!. Since the revamp, the steam app is so much easier on the eyes. It’s nice to be able to easily navigate the steam app now:)

Searching does not search.. Hey guys, crazy idea, and I think I’m the first to come up with it. How about, when a user selects your SEARCH feature in your store, it actually SEARCHES for the item in question. Giving a list of what we’re looking for is great, a wonderful start! But I’d like to be able to see and click the product, not just stare at it.

You guys did good with the app, so keep it up. You gotta keep Steam mobile on the App Store because just because just please keep it on the App Store

Bad!. Can’t play can’t chat Hecker can get your account can freeze before u can setup everything at least ps app is better

No. No

New version is so low…. New version is so low Valve dropped the limbo bar in the lowest sub-sub-sub-basement of heck and then grabbed a spoon to start digging. I have this for two reasons: Authenticator and Chat. The app has to access my iPhone 13 camera to get a QR code that it can NEVER identify, so then I have to resort to a code it tells me it doesn’t want me to use. And now there is a separate app for chat, so it is completely missing! Never opening the app except for the Authenticator ever again.

I can’t make a brand new account. I don’t know why but you need two things before you can have this app (actually 3 things) 1. Enough Money To Buy A PC 2. Have A Steam Account On Your PC 3. And If That Dosent Work, Make A Review Like This (I am rating this 1 star because I literally don’t know what the app is like)

Updated now I can’t login. Freezes at startup

Bad. Very bad honestly sad

Do the developers even use this app?. One of the worst apps I’ve ever used. 90% of the time when opening a game to look at its details, nothing happens, the list of games just reloads. Try clicking on the poster, the game hyperlink, nothing. Strangely if you open from the search box, it works every time. Again, do the people that make the app even use it? It’s been like this for years and isn’t the basic purpose of this to look at games when you click on them? Epic fail

Ne dl pas. Je dois systématiquement supprimer l’app et la retélécharger pour qu’elle s’ouvre correctement…

Broken. can’t log in…

Steam is life. Love my steam deck and the platform.

It wants me to use the Steam Mobile App to confirm my log in on the Steam Mobile App?. Why?

A talentless creation of utter garbage. There is nothing remotely functional about this app.

Only a grey screen?!?. I guess this app is an after thought (considering the number of bad reviews). It is simply unusable. Quality control is obviously non-existent (I am getting the same issue on two separate devices).

Eek. I deemed the latest update a massive security risk to my account and have uninstalled it for the moment. Being able to circumvent my account name and password using a QR code is not what I want and require from this app. Bonus uhoh: they got rid of the chat function, forcing you to need a secondary app to access it.

Broken. Broken doesn’t work

De la dompte. Tellement ben protéger que ont peut même pas rentrer sur notre propre compte

Error ValidatePassword:2 is locking people out of Family accounts. Current workaround is to add a new account and sign in with the old account’s known working credentials. This, however, does not work with Family Accounts because virtually EVERYTHING is locked behind that pin including the ability to add a new account. This renders the bulk of mobile app unusable and as of today, hundreds of people posting on the Steam forums have yet to have this problem acknowledged.

Chat separate app. Bring back one app and my review will be re written. For now ridiculous you need a separate app to use chat/ friends list.

IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT PLEASE CHECK IT !!!. Do not remove all authorized devices on PC Steam Casually. Because you will find out you can’t scan QR code or confirm any log in process on your phone. The solution is log in your account at the steam guard UI again even if it reminds you. After that everything should be ok. Lots of people faced this bug and steam still not fixed it yet!!!

Terrible update. This update is awful… how do you take this long to make an update and then decrease functionality. Let us chat with friends, browse the store, browse the community market and access our inventories all on one app again

An app so bad it made me back out of a new pc deal and sell my steam account. I want nothing to do with this privacy thieving company any longer. Why is the first thing the steam app asked me for was camera access? Gotta sell pictures of minors to the obvious pedo gabe Newell?? Gotta give a bunch of creepy game devs I know nothing about access to my phones camera just to get into my steam account on my brothers pc?! I

Login issues. Consistent login issues observed. After login to the app, I stay logged out in the webview. Please fix

Moronic re-design. You can’t go to a friend’s profile anymore if they’re not logged in & they took out the chat to force a second app on users. Valve, you should fire the whole team assigned to this app re-design project. What an absolute fail. I wish we could 0-star it.

Why can't we upgrade the server when we make so much money?. Every time it tells me "Network connection error, please try again." So what do I need your app for? I can't log in, how can I check my code?

Improved but still bad. I have to download another app to chat??

Where is the Authenticator. I don’t know when steamguard moved to the app, but I can’t log in because I need a code from the Authenticator, and I can’t log into the Authenticator because… I need a code from the Authenticator. What a smart system, security so strong no one gets to log in. 👍

Good app but the search doesn't really work.. When searching for a game it comes up, then when I click on the game to see the store page, it doesn't proceed.

cannot login. why?

App legit doesn’t work. Went to remove my old Samsung device from Authenticator and swap to the iOS version which legit will never load… apps completely busted on iOS 16.6.1 and won’t even get past the sign in screen except on the first time setting it up then after that the app just stops working.

Launch error. Hello I put 1 star because when you launch the application you just have a gray screen

YEAH! GOOD!!!. Indonesia Language Update!!!!

Why. So i got this app and was curious to the concept of steam on a mobile device. Yet my curiosity went down the drain when I couldn’t log in, now i tried everything and to prove to myself i wasn't insane i logged in on my browser and it worked just fine and i used the same account name and password. Ive tried for about 20 minutes and it wont work so i guess Valve don't want me to have steam on the go.

Terrible update. Hardly functions. Doesn’t even have chat integration.

Valve/Steam’s app is an embarrassing mess.. I don’t know how, in our modern era of apps, this particular one continues to defy being a solid thing. Separate app to chat. Other issues. The news scroll times out and vanishes if you scroll too fast. Lol It’s been like that a long, long time now. The entire app is just… yikes. This is especially disappointing, it being the main app for a service as important as Steam. And don’t look for it to improve anytime this decade. Gabe Newell and Valve move very slowly. Very slowly. Very, very slowly. After all, they practically have the monopoly on PC gaming. Sad times. 🤷🏽

Works well, but issue with searching. Oftentimes when searching, tapping on a result will just refresh the search page and not actually take me to the game. The only way I can get it to work is by searching for a specific game and tapping on the autocomplete dropdown from the search bar, but the actual results page won't work.

Not an app problem. Been trying to contact you guys about your terrible download speed for updates on games. So, I check my download speed and it’s 811 mbps. Also weird enough my upload speed was over 900. So it was weird when I was trying to update a game and it maintained 5 or so mbps. Isn’t that funny? Oh wait, not funny, it was more sad. Oh and yah I followed all the “helpful tips” you people provided which definitely did not help. Idk just something you all should consider and fix. It’s definitely you and not me 🤷🏼

A bug doesn’t allow me to see any kind of game. There is a Bug that every time I look for a game and touch anyone it doesn't let me see that game, I look for the shape on either side and it's still the same, many updates have passed and it's still the same. It's annoying to have to go to Google to be able to see or search for the games, they must fix it as soon as possible. Excuse me for my English, I am using a translator.

Wow Bugs Bunny. This is the first day I ever downloaded the app & I have to say wow. I’m blown away by how many bugs the app has. First, it can’t let you set up the authenticator without the screen going blank, then it can’t even allow you do something so basic as to change your avatar without glitching out. This is one of the most horribly put together apps in the history of applications. Apple should force steam to release a version without as many bugs. This is ridiculous, how did they even get approval for this much of a mess up???!!

App is usable again!. Congrats to the steam mobile devs for finally getting this out there. A major improvement upon the last version. Will still need some time to see if it’s perfect but right now it does everything I need flawlessly. 10/10 would update again

Revamped. The newest update has been a game changer. Like others have said the mobile app has been difficult to use for years but now it has finally reached a point where it’s enjoyable to use. So happy they have revamped the app. It’s feels very similar to the desktop app.

Great app but bugs. When looking at a list of games tapping a game takes me to the top instead of to the game Horizontally scrolling game lists don’t scroll These basic navigation issues have been present for over a year, how are they not fixed yet?

I honestly don’t understand why people hate it. This app is really nice. I get notifications for when my wishlisted games go on sale, I can check my store credit, and I can browse the store from the comfort of my couch. I really don’t get the 3 > star rating. What more do you need?

Wow! What a redesign. Just opened up the app after updating it and it’s beautiful. Before it felt like this forgotten app who's only purpose was to serve as steamguard with some other minor functionality. Definitely worth getting now. My hat is off to the engineers and designers who made this change!

Search is Broken, Still…. Trying to search for games works, but while browsing the results it will eventually, or IMMEDIATELY just shoot to the top of the list when you tap on a game. It just straight up won’t load the game’s page unless you search the game directly by name. Which obviously leads to all kinds of issues with going back and forth trying to browse games and also look at them. It’s been doing this for a year. Reopening the app doesn’t fix it, neither does reinstalling.

Great Improvement. The UI and the experience overall has greatly improved, complete with some security and customization options. There are some issues, but the app is usable and convenient, and i bet whatever hiccups are still left will be ironed out with time.

steam is great but the app is trash. My husband use the steam all the time I decided I wanted to try it. I downloaded the app and proceeded to try to do my date of birth it wouldn’t roll around to the right here and you couldn’t see where anything was it was just one big chaotic mess my husband said it’s best to just play steam on the desktop but in my opinion if you have an app please have the airport properly and at least answer people if they’re trying to get support through the app. I recommend using steam on the desktop.

Valve can do much better. I’m unable to even watch the videos previewing the games, it’s just a black screen... Go to genres and it’s a terrible menu system which blocks half of the options when you scroll. It’s been broken since the app came out. Does anybody at valve use this on an iPhone? It’s crazy that I’ve personally bought 2000+ games from them and they still have the one of the worst iOS apps in the store. They made half life and counter strike but completely negated both with this abomination of an app. And now that it has been updated it’s somehow even worse.

Embarrassing app from a truly professional company. It’s puzzling how poor this app functions when you consider how high quality steam is on computers. The app will often bug out and send you to error screens. When the app doesn’t throw out errors, trying to search for games is literally impossible. A bug that’s affected the app for several months causes the app to not be able to open games with you search for them. I repeat: THIS APP THAT YOU’LL USE PRIMARILY TO FIND GAMES, WILL BUG OUT AND NOT ALLOW YOU TO OPEN SAID GAMES. Until this is fixed, you might as well forget this app and use the website for better results.

Finally. It’s not perfect and there’s still work to do, but they finally updated this app after years of neglect. I can finally do normal stuff like make a purchase on my phone. Keep going and don’t listen to shortsighted children who can’t see past a month into the future

Long Awaited Update. I’m glad that Steam finally decided to update their mobile app after 2 years. I’ve been waiting for this update for some time. The old app was clunky and had issues. This new update is definitely a step in the right direction. Hopefully Steam continues to push updates regularly for this version of the app.

Great game store for PC games. Steam has been my go-to storefront for PC games. They revamped the UI for both the Desktop client and released this update for the iOS app. It's alright and works creat as a 2FA app for Steam and signing in via QR. The amount of spam reviews from people not understanding the purpose of this app is astounding and Apple should remove them as spam. Definitely closer to a 4 star experience.

The app needs improving. You cannot message anyone on the app; you have to log in through a web browser in order to do so. It also doesn’t tell you who’s online accurately. When you check your phone compared to your PC, you cannot see what games your friends are playing, if they’re online vs. away, or even when they have been last online accurately. The app needs some serious work. Why have an app when I have to go to my PC or a web browser to get this information?

Barely works. It’s fine for quickly adding one or two games to your wishlist and for getting one or two games, but other than that it barely works. Tapping on a game tab feels like it has a 1 in 50 chance to actually go to the game’s page, and on top of all that it’s slow and glitchy. Given how polished the desktop version of steam is I’m shocked Valve is okay with the app in its current state. I expected better from them tbh

Works fine, No clue what everyone is complaining about. This app works fine, I’ve had it for a little over a year now and I’ve never had any issues or anything. I use it for 2fa and also to trade with people when I don’t have access to my pc. Id say at least try it out instead of listening to the soyboy nonsense that these reviews are flooded with

Nice app but pretty annoying bug. Whenever you search for something in the standard showing for games you can’t click anything. It just redirects to the top of the page. Its pretty annoying and makes it borderline impossible to look for games through the search. Fix it and I have no other complaints.

Only works on phone. Trying to sign in on pc with the pictures of the fire hydrants, crosswalks, motorcycles, buses, traffic lights etc is literally impossible to do. The whole system is completely broken and is literally impossible to get through. Steam clearly doesn’t have a clue because it’s been broken for at least a year. It works if you sign in on mobile though. I installed battle net and will be purchasing games through there from now on.

Cleaner Layout But A Big Step Backward For iPads. Just what it says in the headline, folks. The layout and fonts are updated and cleaner, but with the new update, the app no longer recognizes landscape as a viable orientation. For those of us with keyboard cases, especially, this ruins the app for use on Steam Forums, or even comfortably while we have our iPads set up as “second devices” next to our main work computers or workstations. Please, Valve - bring back landscape functionality!

Installed on 8/24 app doesn’t open next day. Installed this app yesterday, logged into my steam account and browsed games. No issues. Today tried to open again, app loads up to a gray screen, hi flashes in for a split second and goes back to a gray screen. Tried quitting the app and restarting and same behavior. Kind of shocked that in this day an app can really be released with such obvious bugs. iPhone 13 Pro Max and latest iOS software. Shame.

Cannot Buy Using PayPal. One would think Steam would want to make it possible, if not actually easy, to buy games using its app, but you would be wrong. I tend to use PayPal to purchase things online so that every website and its brother doesn’t have my credit card info, but attempting to use PayPal from the app does not work at all: It just opens a webpage in Safari (I also tried Forefox) that is completely empty except for a PayPal banner at the top. Good job Steam!

PayPal authorization not working. Fix your PayPal login authorization so I can purchase things on mobile instead of my PC and I will change the rating. Right now when it tells me to log in to PayPal via the PayPal button it brings me to a page that just says PayPal at the top and doesn’t load no matter what settings I put on my browser or the app. Works fine on PC. Guess I will have to remember to save my login info on PC again when I get the time, doesn’t change that it shouldn’t block me from using PayPal on the app…

Annoyingly buggy and terrible UX. With all the money this company has, you’d think they’d be able to afford a decent mobile dev team. This is by far one of the worst ipad apps I’ve ever used. It even bugs out when doing basic stuff like navigating to a game page. And after all these years with web search and search boxes on almost every store website, this app seems to try and prevent you from using its search features by making it so clunky. It’s almost like this app is a game in itself, like an escape room experience lol

Barely functions. Finally after over a DECADE of waiting for an update… all we get is a facelift. It barely functions, but at least we can watch videos now! … if you can even get to the page of the product. Half the time attempting to go to a game does nothing but show a tiny loading bar flash across the top for a few seconds… before doing nothing. This app needs a MAJOR overhaul. I actually prefer the old app. While it couldn’t play videos at all, at least it worked!

A fixable step backwards. This new update focus on showing store content face on, but complicates usage on your account content. Previous version was a breeze to navigate from your inventory, library, friend list, store, etc. Now it is not. Either working it to simplify back the interface while keeping the new features or please add classic interface back as an option. I am hating this one so far…

New layout is bad. Every clear button has been replaced with a vague icon with multiple unnecessarily nested menus. The built-in chat was also fully removed and instead made an entire separate app for some reason? They could have just added all the technical improvements WITHOUT sacrificing usability of the app. Now this app is on-par with other shoddy companion apps people only have and use for authentication. Edit: They finally added landscape orientation for tablets, so raising review score

July 2023 - OMG What did you do?. The app has had issues with links not working in the past, and it was really annoying but I could work around it using other submenus. But now pages just don’t load intermittently - meaning if I load the app and it actually works for 60 seconds, I will shortly get the dreaded “There was a problem losing this web content” message. It is NOT my ISP or my phone because I can test speed (I’ve got a 300 x 10 connection that was reading almost 40” this morning) and other apps work fine.

Unstable update. The new app broke since day one locked me out of my account and after a restore I couldn’t use the community market for a month. Since the upcoming updates it’s been slowly fixed there are still a bunch of bugs that cause the app to either crash or become unresponsive. I have to constantly kill the app and to get it to work. Pretty annoying. I’m slowly moving away from this platform. Towards more polished experiences. Meaning somewhere else.

Update ruined the app. I am not a big fan of the updated UI for the app. It’s too cluttered, and finding stuff is more difficult than it should be, but that’s the least of the problems with the update. Now when I check notifications, the app constantly sends me to the wrong pages, and the app also crashes a lot now, so I’ve had to stop using the app and now I have to use Steam on a mobile web browser. It’s very obvious to me that this update is not finished and was not tested before going live, so please, at least fix the issues with the crashing, and the glitches.

Steam Mobile 3.0 ??. All good on paper but on my iPhone 6 the app is not even fullscreen I have a tiny image of the app in the middle of the screen reason of why I cannot type codes or press buttons because they are all stacked all on top of each other, sort of like the iphone Apps on iPad.. is very weird and wonkey, I dont want to fully delete the app and reinstall it because I dont want to lose my accounts (or better the steam guard codes) getting banned and what not, so pretty please fix the app, thank you!

Making an account. Doesn’t have any option to make an account only sign in and going to the website doesn’t help either because after you put in your email and verify it, it still asks you to sign in with your account name and password but it never gives you the option make one in the first place and now it says that “this email is already in use” so now i’m basically locked out of the app since there’s no where to make and actual account.

remove offline and whos playing. I was playing farming simulator 2013 and farming simulator 2011 and steam was not working and because i try to get in to steam and it say whos playing that word was stupid and was in the Xbox steam you are not allow to get the word from xbox and the word is not allow on steam you are making steam lover mad the update remove offine and who’s playing if you don’t remove it i will rue you for 10,00,000$ and you will lose and you will be poor Edit more of the story don’t make steam lover mad

Good but needs fixing. I like the simplicity of it plus being able to customize the lower tabs however majority of times I use it to view sales I click on a game and it just sends you to the top of the list again instead of showing you the game's page details. That hasn't been fixed for months now. Makes it harder for me to want to use the mobile app since the desktop web page doesn't have this problem.

v3.0 is exactly what this app should be. 6 years since the v2.0 release and 2 years since the last minor update, Valve have finally given this app the massive facelift it needed. Previously it was clunky and hard to navigate. Now things are laid out much better and its easier to get to what you want. Thanks Valve! P.S. when can we expect HL3?

I miss the old UI. The app is now confusing on where the basic tabs are, and on top of that some of my actions aren’t responding. Trying to view my friends list is a hassle and then going to friends activity…forget it. I hate to be that person to complain and give no ideas how to make it better, but I didn’t have any issues with the last UI and they just made it confusing. At least for me. I will definitely change when I feel it’s improved.

An update that improves the Ui of the app but breaks everything else. It’s nice that the app *looks* prettier but it’s just that, looks. The functionality of the app is in all cases worse than before. For example the wishlist button works exactly 1 time before you have to force close the app and reopen it… how does a massive company like valve miss something so incredibly simple?? Smh the lack of effort and quality control is clear everywhere you look lately lol.

Update locks you out. So the new update looks nice and clean but the issue with the update is it has logged me out and I have mobile authentication on my steam app. So when trying to log in I cannot. Tried to do the text verification and it says it was requested from a different IP address and now won’t let me log in. Thanks for the update but maybe next time think of a way not to lock us out of our accounts maybe?

Felt like I was pulling teeth. To be honest I tried creating an account 5 times before trying on my phone where it went through and said my captcha has an issue. Before while signing up on the computer again my captcha after doing it correct multiple times was still an issue. The app is glitchy and to be honest the rave behind it as a first time downloaded who had so many issues I won’t download it again tbh

Total Junk!. I gotta say thus app is by far the worst app I’ve ever installed in my life! I mean I tried to login to my account using this app with the same credentials that I’ve used login thru the website and computer Steam app, but thing keeps saying “there was an error logging in, please try again later.” This piece of trash app keeps repeating it no matter what I do with the app: refresh the app, closing the app, wait for a day to login, etc. What a total garbage that keeps wasting my time! Whoever developed this app must be fired!

5 Star Review. Honestly I couldn’t understand why this app gets so many bad reviews. In my opinion this app does what its mean’t to do. Let you access a portable version of steam to buy games or look through your own profile and what not while your on the road or just away from your pc.

So slow since the big update it’s unusable. Opening a Steam game link from a browser takes as long as 10 seconds to load in the Steam app. Sometimes it doesn’t load at all. You have no idea what’s going to be the case without sitting there and waiting. Needless to say, being unable even to open game pages in this app for the purpose of wishlisting makes it unfit for the App Store. I’m deleting and using the browser site until Steam reverts to the earlier app or figures out what they’re doing here.

Chat’s gone, replaced with companion app. I don’t understand why this choice was made, the chat already worked. Imagine if Discord removed the ability to text your friends, and then made a second app for mobile that only allows you to text your friends. I primarily use this app to log into Steam, and to chat with my friends, now I need to download a second app - first world problems I know, but man convenience comes at a price nowadays.

Bugs, no fixes. When you open a steam link thru this app 90% of the time it says “There was a problem loading this content.” You must refresh the page…This has gone on for months now… Every update they add some new flashy feature that only 2 people use. They dont test it well enough and half the app breaks. The user experience is slower, messaging friends is harder now requires a separate app. No legitimate reason or use for this app now.

Search function is worthless. If I search something, I get a list. The list is useless. You can’t click anything and it actually go to the game page. You have to search a game specifically. I can’t even remember when I initially made this review but they STILL won’t fix this, and why not? Why make the decision NOT to? It doesn’t make any sense.

2 steps forward 1 step back. While the app looks a lot nicer and more modern it functions a lot worse. Some of the features opening in app browsers that didn’t before, buttons being off the screen, and the lack of shortcut functions to access basic commonly used pages leads to a very bad user experience. Especially when you consider that these features were present in the old version. Id prefer the outdated look if it means the app would function and feel better.

Better than it was but still busted. Steam got a big rewrite which fixed a lot of issues, but it’s still pretty buggy. You can’t share a game’s page easily. It’ll show you a URL but you can’t copy it. Why not just use the native iOS share sheet? (The app isn’t native; that’s why) About half of the time, searching for content won’t allow you to select any of the games. Tap tap tap all you want, it won’t work. (Web wrapper bugs) The app has lost its memory on me once or twice, which is terrifying for such a critical 2FA app. Basic functionality like this. Valve needs to hire some really good mobile app developers to make good, battle tested apps that have gone through proper QA and regressions testing at scale. No more web wrappers or cross platform cruft.
