Leave a Review Steam Chat
Quality over quantity.
So I was so excited because I can use steam chat reliably (now) on my phone, but i was said that they moved the chat out from the steam app so now I 2 apps instead of 1.
The original steam app only needs a UI refresh and put the Chat back so there will be 1 place where I have to look.
What’s next? Steam Store, Steam Library, Steam Friends, Steam Guard, Steam Community?
I think they should go with the quality over quantity, not other way around.
When this will be fixed, my comment will disappear with the steam chat anyway.
Rating stays 3 Stars, -1 because it’s a separate app, -1 because the original Steam app hasn’t been updated for 2 years and they came with this Chat...disappointingShow lessDosahka
Good port of Steam chat but has issues
While it is functional, and pleasantly featured; with a lot of little things that are nuanced, I have to repeat what everyone is saying. Why is this separate from the already existing Steam app. And Steam link too, for that matter. Make the phone app a proper progeny of the desktop Steam.
The Steam app could already do direct messages to friends. Although Steam Chat is lightyears ahead because that couldn't show images or anything besides text (videos/webms don't seem to be working right now on Chat).
But that circles back to why didn't they push this as part of a refresh or update of the Steam app that needs some attention to a few functionality problems and outright bugs it has.
Also who even uses Steam chat anyway? I use it but not many people do, I like that its just there as part of Steam and mostly works. Actually funnily enough uploading images on the app works better than on desktop which often fails to load at all. So yay?
Valve please release a content update for Team Fortress 2. Thanks in advanceShow lesswauser_96
A great improvement!
The UI is so much better than the original steam app. I would like to see steam guard integrated into the app though so for me I rate it a 4/5. With steam guard integrated you would be able to remove the old app which is very outdated.DanKyle25
Did Valve lose the ability to update Steam Guard or something?

Okay, I kinda get it. This app is dedicated to being more social, which makes sense. Maybe there should indeed be a separate app for all social interactions.
But then what does that leave on the Steam app? Just steam guard?..
ooooooh.........
wow..........
So many people wonder, why didn’t they just add this to the Steam app? And so do I. The community has been begging for an update to the Steam app, and instead they do this.
I love the features on this app, but I wanted an update for the Steam app. Better chatting, the ability to add steam credit to your account from the app for iOS money like iTunes credit*rolls eyes*.
And just less crashing and more features like what you would do on pc in all.
Also, I can’t even access my groups on steam chat app. I wanna post an announcement from the steam chat app, but I can’t. Just..
And I’m still getting notifications from both apps now when messaged. Annoying! Fix!Show lessBitterVoidz
Needs an iPad version
I’m glad valve is starting to develop things again but its isnt usable on iPads.Cheatyhax
Finally
I think most people can appreciate how outdated the old steam chat was. The new app’s chat is now more like the desktop version with the only downside being that the two apps are now separated.Shizuoka1401
Good app
The app is good and I love it all you need to do now is add more features to make people want to use it all the time like steam guard voice chat remember categories being closed and being able to edit group channel permissions etc and fixed some bugs like if you create a group you can add new channels but when you try to delete it well it glitches and you have to restart the appShow lessPopmanbrad
A great step in the right direction
This was certainly an unexpected step in the right direction. The design is a lot better than the previous Steam app (last updated over 2 years ago). There are some things I personally dislike about the design and a few annoyances however this is a vast amount of progress and I hope the existing Steam app gets the same treatment.Show lessdannyfranklin99
Steam has a working chat app!
Now, fix the main/Authenticator app or combine it into this please! But this actually works and looks decent and unlike the main app fits the dimensions of the iPhone X! Really clean design.Jrr930
Overall pleased
I'm quite happy with this new app. The previous, outdated "Steam Mobile" app would not send messages 50% of the time, and the chat would go offline constantly.
This new app actually solves those problems, and also adds the ability to tap links to view them in safari, rather than having to copy+paste them like in the old Steam Mobile app. It also lets you see Steam emotes, and view pictures from the chat itself.
I'm rating this a 3 out of 5 however, simply because they should have updated the old Steam Mobile with this as opposed to making a whole new app. Now I have to have both apps - one for Steam Guard Mobile Authentication, one for chat.
Another gripe is the fact that I can't select chat history to copy it.
If the latter problem is fixed, I'll raise my rating to 4 stars.Show lessRingostarr65
