Steam Mobile for Pc

It provides the most barebones feature of being able to provide 2 factor authentication for your account and to check sales. Every single other function of this app is unbearable and in many cases unusable. Try to search a game and you’re given a wrapper of the desktop webpage search, which is hilariously clumsy when you have to use your fingers on a mobile app. Every other company has figured this out but Valve, with their billions, haven’t hired someone to design a proper search page within the app. I currently have 3 notifications in the this app app, which will apparently never go away unless I uninstall it. One is for a missed message, but no matter how many times you read that message or reply to that person or refresh, that notification is there, forever. I also have 2 comments on a review I left, but for the app to load it it is to go through the login process again for some reason, which has never given me anything but “Failed to communicate with the server.” And this is how it’s been for years. This app looks and works the exact same way it did when I first downloaded it in 2014. I’ve given up expecting Valve to invest any tiny amount of time in making this app remotely usable for anything but tracking sales and for login authentication.

Don’t get me wrong by the review, I love playing on this app. But the fact that trading cannot be done without having this app is infuriating. For those that don’t know, trading, unless you have this app, takes about 2 weeks for items to arrive for both parties. That’s pretty outrageous. But the app itself is incredibly Non-user friendly. Buttons taking multiple clicks just to work, strange layout, that sort of thing. But trading can be one of the worst things to deal with. It would be so much better if it didn’t force you to log into the app to confirm a trade for 1 item. Plus there’s signing people out for no apparent reason, which forces them to reset the this app security, which then forces you back into trading holding, for a much shorter time, but you still have to wait. They decide that just signing in at points restarts the this app security. It’s just a pain to use. Please valve, fix this app. First thing should be to make the app more user friendly. Then focus on more specialized areas, like fixing trading, something like that. Either that or revamp the trading system to make it less of a hassle to deal with. Just a few suggestions but as the title implies, it needs plenty of fixes

This app allows you to do the majority of the things that you'd want to do when interacting with friends or the store (and a few other things). But the clunky UI has only felt worse and worse over time due to a complete lack of updates over the last few years. Yes, it's not *that* different from the mobile version of the store, but it's even fallen behind that in some ways (why does reviewing my wishlist require so many steps?! The mobile site has a button for it in the main menu!). Reviewing one's library (I say reviewing because there's no ability to manage/categorize your games at all <- major gripe) is a huge pain, and has more than once driven me to not even bother using the app, favoring instead to just wait to check something until I'm back at my desktop. I want to expect better (in so far as the user experience is concerned) from Valve, but perhaps that's no longer reasonable, given how things have been trending over the last several years.

This app in general is good! I love it in every way. I could do a rant against the haters using all my knowledge. There is one thing.... it’s not much of a problem. I would like to see it fixed though because, I don’t think it would take very long to fix. Changing your profile pick is impossible. You’ll click “Edit Profile”, then you can edit it. However, when you go down to change your profile pick, it says “Choose/Pick File” and “Upload File” next to that. You could go to google/a search web, save an image, but if you go and click choose file, nothing happens. Nothing pops up or anything. It’s not a super big problem, but I wow old like to see it fixed. Anyways, this is a really good app in general! I would rate this 4 stars but since the small problem I stated was well, small, I give this app a big fat 5 stars! Hope you fix this small problem! If you can’t, I guess that’s ok. -Willow aka djbroomstick
