Leave a Review Steam Chat
Never loads
Never get notifications on the app & my messages rarely send through without an error popping up. Very frustrating when it use to work fine in the steam app!kaeeteaa
No notifications
Often bugged and wouldn’t let me connect, wouldn’t send messages. Then it stopped giving me notifications when I received messages, but I’d still get the little red marker on the app on my homepage. Now the app doesn’t even do that anymore lol. What’s the point of a chatting app that doesn’t have basic features?Show lessGullhår11
worst messaging app i've ever used
i don't understand how this is so bad. steam messaging works fine on pc. for some bizarre reason, on this app, i don't receive any notifications (despite turning them on) and i have to check the app constantly for new messages. despite that, i still just don't get messages. i'll open the homepage, it doesn't show new messages. i'll open a text convo, there will be no new messages. then, i'll check like 4 hours later, and turns out i got a message five hour before! seriously? why didn't it show up as a notification? or when i opened the app? OR WHEN I OPENED THE CONVERSATION??? ridiculous, how do you mess up this bad?Show lessthe man of gribs
Just what no one needed
It’s a backwards step separating the chat function from the main steam app. Also it is crap on iPad because it makes you use a tiny keyboard. How could they replace the previous steam chat with this crap?
Update: Also it automatically deletes previous chat with no way to keep messages like you used to. It’s a exceptional feat to go this far backwards from a previously working app. What a joke.Show lessshemsureshot

Why would you ever make it a separate app????Le Fishé
Lazy, abandoned, broken.
Valve Software are some of the laziest, most inept, and amateur employees and company in the entire industry. They release half-baked software on mobile and even desktop, with a joke of a client featuring the god awful electron trash, then they leave it and go sit around doing nothing but hanging out in their cliques drinking starbucks. And no, they don't fix bugs or even read reports. Enjoy a god awful experience if you download this half-baked joke of an app... but if you use Steam, you're already used to half-baked jokes.Show lessAppleKingOfTerribleUX
Broken?
No real issues, however, the last 3 days I can’t log in, even using the mobile app to jump to chat, which in itself is an unnecessary step, I’m sure there’s a reason, but why have TWO apps for the same service?
I use the mobile app for chat or guard, I have a feeling most people do. So having it split is just an annoyance.
Steam desktop chat has a vanishing bug, mine vanish when docked, means a needless restart for an app that generates an absurd amount of revenue, as if it’s a indi platform.
And this can’t be fixed?
Seems as though the philosophy is, if it’s making money and people are staying even if they complain, it’s all good 👍🏼
3 stars.
-1 for 2 apps
-1 regular bugs
(if the “chat invite” unlinking [multiple rejected correct logins] isn’t fixed in a week; I’ll take it to 1 and remove the app)Show lessDeadWeird
Very nice, but could be removed
I like Steam Chat. It’s a decent small chat service for friends to game. It’s got a decent amount of bugs, but it’s understandable since not a lot of people use it as compared to other chat services. I feel like Steam Chat and Steam Link could be consolidated and both added into the Steam mobile app so there isn’t a need for multiple apps to exist when one can get the job done.Show lessMagnificentMario1106
Terrible, dysfunctional app.
First of all, why do we now need two applications to perform the job of just one app?
And why is this app which is now dedicated to one purpose and one purpose only WORSE than the original all in one app?
This app is disgusting. I have to delete and redownload it on a regular basis to fix this issue where it says “friends network loading” forever. There is no fix except to download the app again. And I don’t use a PC anymore so I’m stuck with this garbage.
Seems like anymore, all tech companies do is make their apps and technology worse, charge more money for it, and take all the joy out of everything. I’m glad I don’t use steam every day anymore.Show lessChaseKimes
Too narrowly focused…
First of all, this app is obviously designed for a mobile phone and not a tablet. I find it hard to use on a larger tablet because it’s just a scaled up version of a mobile phone interface. Please release a version designed for tablets.
Secondlt, the message threads are not updated in an obvious way. The friend list do not show the latest message from the individual on the preview… it only updates after you have entered into the message thread to retrieve the new messages.
This whole separation of the old steam app is a terrible idea.Show lessBlademoor
