Steam Link for Positive User Reviews
✓ Play without computer onAmazing app. Please make the app usable even when the computer is off..Version: 1.1.70
✓ I’m all honestyYou deserve a medal, doc!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Connection speedGreat app! ! However I tried it on both my iPhoneX and iPad Pro in the same network. The connection on iPhone was great with speed of 100M/s while on iPad it’s only 15M/s..Version: 1.1.44
✓ Amazing!After figuring out I needed to match my IP address on my phone to the one my computer was using, this app works flawlessly. Highly recommend you use the steam controller or a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Best app ever, who would have thought I could play fallout 4 on my iPhone. Bravo steam..Version: 1.0
✓ Streaming works, controllers won’tI tried using the virtual controller, and pairing a PS5 dual shock to my iPad Pro running iOS 15.4.1 and neither of those worked. No button presses were passed to the underlying game for the Dual Shock, and nothing showed up on screen for the virtual controller. What I do instead is that I will connect my controller to the PC through bluetooth, and just stream the video over. That worked well enough in my experience. Great job! There are definitely things to improve here, but the fact that this works at all is super sick..Version: 1.1.93
✓ Surprisingly GoodAll things considered the fact that this allows you to remotely control and play your Steam games from your phone is pretty good. What surprised me the most was how actually decent the latency was. It’s still not something I’d recommend for all games, but the fact that I play actually fine in a fighting game (on single-player modes at least) is pretty remarkable. The only real problem I see with it is that there’s no touch controls. Touching your screen can only control your mouse. If you have a modern wireless controller then chances are it can be connected to your phone through Bluetooth. It’s a neat feature that wasn’t necessary for them to add, but it’s available anyway and actually works pretty well..Version: 1.1.84
✓ Remote connection?!So i had never used this app before but have had steam for a few months, installed it and set it up to work on my network, no issues, but didnt feel like playing at the time. a week or so later, i open it on my break at work (i work and live on the same street, but theyre not on the same network or even close enough to connect to either at the same time) and it just worked. rather flawlessly too. i was able to pull up 3DMark and did a benchmark on my system from my iphone while i was at work. interested to see the hit it was taking while streaming to a different location, and believe it or not my timespy score was higher than my last benchmark. we live in a strange world. steam link doesnt care. it just works, and if it doesnt work for you while youre two rooms away, then youre doing something wrong.Version: 1.1.96
✓ Valve: Making The Impossible PossibleI cannot believe it. I cannot believe that Valve made it possible...but they ACTUALLY DID IT. You can play Steam games ON YOUR PHONE, and it PLAYS LIKE A DREAM. Even better: I don't have a Steam controller, but I DO have a PS4 controller (the DualShock 4) AND IT'S 100% COMPATIBLE WITH THIS. Valve, take all 5 of those stars. You've earned 'em..Version: 1.1.43
✓ Great App, useless without an MFII am so happy this app exists, I love being able to take my entire Steam library wherever I go. The versatility is so great, and it’s so much fun being able to play wherever I want with my friends. My only complaints are that the connection can get kind of shifty, but that’s to be expected with a cloud streaming app, so i don’t really give much fault to that. The other, and more major, one is that unless you have an MFI or some kind of controller, this app is pretty much useless. The touch control registry for most of the games is nonexistent, and they only truly work with some sort of external controller. I have one and it works great for me, so I live using this app all the time, but unless you have some sort of controller or MFI, this app is useless..Version: 1.0
✓ Much improved on latest updatesLatest version and iOS 13.4.1; works much better, just like from a PC for the mostpart. Just with a few mouse glitches on some games..Version: 1.1.62
✓ Thank you to valve and appleIt’s well know that this app has been a long time in the works. Firstly I thank the Valve team for their persistence in making this project happen, there isn’t a gamer on iOS that hasn’t been waiting for this and this app doesn’t disappoint. Secondly I thank apple, it’s completely understandable why you didn’t want this app to occur. We gamers truly appreciate your allowance of this app and look forward to many years of great gaming on your brilliant devices..Version: 1.1.36
✓ Finally!Been waiting about a year for this (since it got rejected). But today out of the blue, Steam Link for iOS lands!! Made my day. Performs really well too (streaming from a GTX 1080 to an iPad Pro). Steam Controller support is the cherry on top, and works around MFI limitations. Great job Valve :) Home-run.Version: 1.0
✓ Works really well!Played through a few hours of Psychonauts 2 with SteamLink using a fairly standard WiFi connection on an Apple TV. Worked almost flawlessly - just a couple of dropouts for a second or two. Obviously how well this works depends on the game you’re playing with, but this was really good. I’m quite prone to getting motion sickness from games where lag is perceptible and this wasn’t an issue with this - I pretty much forgot I wasn’t playing a console game..Version: 1.1.81
✓ GreatWorks perfectly with Remote desktop and big picture mode 10/10.Version: 1.0
✓ Immediately crashes after updateWhen it works , it’s good however after the update 3ish days ago, it crashes after a mini second.Version: 1.1.54
✓ People!The pc must be on because it needs the hardware to render and stream the game. Your steam games are not installed on a cloud that you can access when your pc is off. This is a great app. Don’t hold your breath for the ability to play with your pc off though. SMH 🤦🏻♂️.Version: 1.1.80
✓ Performance issuesHi this app is amazing but when I play it it’s always kinnda laggy and the audio is glitchy on my iPhone 10 but overall best app ever.Version: 1.1.93
✓ Better than expectedIt's not without its bugs but it can work very well. For the best experience, I recommend getting a backbone controller for your phone. It works without any configuration for some big titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy VII Remake. My PC is well equipped with an RTX 3080 TI and gig fiber internet so lag is never an issue. Not sure why this is getting such harsh reviews. It's pretty insane to be able to play real games on the go, even if it's not perfect every time. Really looking forward to this apps further development!.Version: 1.1.93
✓ BrilliantIt’s so much better on that other then the regular steam.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Fantastic experienceUsing this app is like a dream come true. Over a 5Ghz network the controls respond instantly, and in my experience the graphics & audio have streamed without a problem. Paired with the Steam Controller it’s just a magical experience. Well worth the wait!.Version: 1.0
✓ Great for streaming games to your phoneAll the people asking to make the app work with your pc off don’t know how technology works, the point is not to run games off of your phone, but to provide a link that turns the phone into a computer monitor, along with controls. And this app does that perfectly, 5 stars from me. It’s entirely illogical to take off stars just because there is no impossible wake button, remember steam makes the game, they don’t make your computer, so to ask for a "wake button” is simply saying you are willing to personally modify your computer in order to turn it on with your phone; THE STEAM CLIENT DOESN’T HAVE THAT POWER OVER YOUR PC, and like all applications, it forcefully quits when you turn off your pc. And there, I’ve debunked the only reason this gets bad reviews for everyone. Good day..Version: 1.1.90
✓ Linking unlinkableUsing steam link to connect xbox wireless controllers to Ubuntu machine running Steam. Connecting controllers directly to ubuntu didn’t quite work, and the Steam Link was a success and the end of the story. Just works. (disabled video and audio streaming, because I just needed controllers).Version: 1.1.96
✓ Like MagicI recently had back surgery and Steam Link gave me the ability to play the games I love while recovering. The streaming technology is truly magical, transporting me through an iPad to the games I love running on my PC. I was shocked several times at how well it worked with controllers, keyboards, and even the Magic Mouse. I can think of dozens of use cases that don’t involve major surgery to appreciate the tech. This is truly fantastic stuff. I pray Steam continues to invest in this life-changing app..Version: 1.1.84
✓ Great AppThis app is brilliant and i recommend it to all steam players. One issue is the connection can sometimes make your game lag slightly but is still excellent.Version: 1.1.67
✓ Play PC games from the couchI am absolutely thrilled with Steam Link! This software has completely revolutionized my gaming experience. No longer am I limited to playing on my desktop computer - with Steam Link, I can easily stream my games to any device of my choice. The application is incredibly easy to use, and it works flawlessly almost every single time. Some tweaking required. It's simply the most reliable and convenient way to enjoy my PC games on the go. Excellent replacement for NVIDIA GameStream. But what really sets SteamLink apart is its versatility. I can stream my games to my phone, tablet, or even my smart TV. This has opened up so many new possibilities for me. I can play my favorite games while lounging on the couch, or even take them with me on the road. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with Steam Link and would highly recommend it to any gamer looking to expand their play options. It's my go-to solution for all my streaming needs, and I can't imagine going back to a world without it..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Amazing controls, low latency, stable!Controls are so well done, best on any streaming app I’ve tried so far (touch). Stability is rock solid, and for my 30mbps connection the quality was amazing. 60FPS no compression artefacts at all and it was at least 720p (could have been 1080p)..Version: 1.1.62
✓ The other reviews are idiotIt’s impossible to code it so your computer opens from the app since it’s closed and wouldn’t be able to run any programs.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Just not working for meI don’t want to be that guy... but it no work for me. But if it did work I would be happy developers please fix please. I have waited a whole hour and it still hasn’t worked. Please fix..Version: 1.1.65
✓ Worked greatAt first I didn’t know how it worked so when I tried it out I was disappointed. I came back to it again recently and realised you had to be in big picture mode on steam to make it work and it worked like treat. Only issue is that the quality drops occasionally but other than that it works perfectly. If you are having problems remember to launch steam in big picture mode and go to controller settings and it should work..Version: 1.1.64
✓ Keeps crashingGreat app loved it while it worked but after the recent update it crashes immediately at startup on my iPad Pro gen 1 and iPhone 6 Edit it no longer crashes at startup now it crashes when itry to connect and when i go into the stream settings tab my pc also thinks that my ipad is connected to the pc even after the app crashes.Version: 1.1.62
✓ Another Way To Kill TimeThe app itself functions as it should (at least with the games I’ve tried). Installation and connection process was smooth, simple, and intuitive. I already had my setup according to the “best performance” criteria so I can’t vouch for the stability and speed if a user weren’t to use that, but at the very least I would recommend having your pc connected to your router with an Ethernet cable. Overall, great app and added functionality to Steam. I don’t download much, if any, iPhone games anymore so this allows me to make use of my vast Steam library..Version: 1.0
✓ Steam Link Makes PC Gaming Couch Worthy!Im an owner of the actual Steam Link hardware device and Steam Controller - but this app had just changed everything for my PC gaming habits. When I come from work (being in front a computer all day), the last thing I want to do is play in front of one. So enter this app. I’m now crushing through my library of unplanted games on my ipad like no ones business. Paired with the MiFi enable Steam Controller - it’s an absolute dream. It’s actually now made me pick up my Nintendo Switch less...but hey I’m all about playing those games at the resolution they were supposed to be played at!.Version: 1.1.36
✓ Awesome but...This app is really great but it only got the issue that the controler is impossible.. it keep changing and i cant change it back unless I press button to change it and make the game crash then relunch it.. it is really annoying...Version: 1.1.64
✓ Amazing but More Instruction NeededThis app is more amazing than advertized. Mouse & keyboard support. It works outside the local network. Lag is hardly noticable aside from intermittent slowdowns. Obviously worse than ethernet but fine for casual gaming when travelling, even first-person-shooters. Mic input is disabled by default, and it took me awhile to realize I could enable it in the escape menu. I had an issue where the mouse cursor wouldn't appear in-game that I fixed by enabling num key control in Windows to spoof a mouse..Version: 1.1.84
✓ RevolutionaryCompletely changed my gaming life, I work a lot and never used to have much time to spend gaming, now I can grind out games 100x more efficiently. Steam did an amazing job here and honestly thanks to them for doing do. Please never stop doing this app, Steam!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ ExceptionalThe app has come a long way. As an owner of the Steam Link hardware, my expectations for the app were pretty high. Upon its launch, the app was ok. The experience, while playable, was not as smooth as the Steam Link, even when matching resolution, quality, encoding, etc. However, now that the app has been out for a while, and has received a few updates, it’s spectacular. Streaming at 4K Beautiful is flawless! I primarily use the app on the Apple TV 4K, and there is no difference in input lag across streaming resolutions, unlike when it first launched. The streaming quality is so good, I play FPS games without any lag issues. Now I only use my Steam Link for the rare occasion I want to use my Steam Controller. If you don’t need mouse/keyboard/Steam Controller support, the app is an awesome alternative. Couch gaming has never looked so good!.Version: 1.1.64
✓ Worked perfectlyI don’t face any problems.Version: 1.1.67
✓ Startup Issue (FIXED)The app works again thank goodness. Now I’ll never leave the toilet..Version: 1.1.55
✓ ITS A GREAT START IN A GREAT DIRECTIONI gave it five stars because of what it makes possible never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I could play my pc games on a mobile device now I can do so on my phone that blows my mind it’s laggy sometimes when it works but it does work so I'm staying positive in hopes that the developers can fix the issues and they will I’m sure of it I’m playing with the backbone one gaming controller so I can’t and won’t put the blame solely on the developer of steam link but like I said I love the app and I love the direction it is taking us I’ve been a gamer for 35 years and I’ve seen gaming start and I’ve been lucky enough to see it get to where it is today I have faith in the gaming industry and the developers that make it happen keep up the great job with this app.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Overdue but worth the wait!It was frustrating to see this app being blocked by Apple over a year ago and very little information about whether it would ever come to iOS. Well it’s finally here; and the business conflict between cited by Apple appears to have resulted in the Steam Store access being removed from the iOS version. In terms of streaming performance and latency the app is excellent. I have a 100Mb connection and games have played work flawlessly. It even let me launch non-steam titles which I had linked in my library; allowing me to stream games from Origin. iPhone X iOS 12.3.Version: 1.0
✓ Excellent ApplicationAlways been a big fan of Steam Link on all devices. I would actually do 4 stars, because Moonlight has a little less latency, but I feel like I need to do something to drown out all of the completely tech illiterate reviews on here. Most of the one start reviews are from people who have no idea what this is for or how it works. Why are you people leaving one star reviews if you don't know what you're talking about??.Version: 1.1.84
✓ GreatWorks super well but it doesn’t activate my toaster or tuck me in at night 5/10 stars try harder next time valve.Version: 1.1.81
✓ Runs Smooth. Plays GREATRuns smooth. Runs better than Stadia too.Version: 1.1.84
✓ Great!It works well, however it doesnt turn on your pc which is annoying. Add that and its 5 stars.Version: 1.1.65
✓ Finally-works very wellJust played 2 hours of Batman Arkham Knight in beautiful smooth hi-res on my iPad Pro. Used a MadCatz controller I dug out of a box; threw two triple A batteries in synced it to Bluetooth and steam auto installed a very small audio driver to my pc. No problems. I bet with a newer controller or maybe a Steam controller it would be even better. As it is, it’s beyond my highest expectations-I purposely chose that title because it’s a hog with lots of different controls and I had no issues. I’ll try some more games and come back and edit if I have any big issues but otherwise it’s great. Good job.Version: 1.0
✓ Needs to have support when computer is off.Hi Valve, Steam Link is a damn good app! The only problem I have is, you can’t play games while the PC is off, at least PS4 Remote Play let’s you do it! In Fact! You don’t even have to auto activate the PC! YOU COULD JUST PUT A BUTTON THAT SAYS WAKE! 4 stars only and will be 4 stars until this gets added.Version: 1.1.64
✓ Blew my expectationsWhen I got this I expected it to be laggy and only support certain games that had the remote play tag. Boy was I wrong, you can run anything! Not only does it work while home away from the desktop, but I was able to play my ultra-modded skyrim during my break at work! It worked surprisiny well with no lag, but some big resolution dips over a bad internet connection in the break room. I use my Razer Kishi with this and strongly recommend it as the go-to controller for this!.Version: 1.1.84
✓ It’s alrightIt can run games pretty good, but the formatting is awful. It’s very difficult to change the controls, they keep reverting. I don’t know if I’m dumb or if it’s just buggy. Also, I wouldn’t recommend playing a game that requires a keyboard. I did try it and it worked, but you obviously didn’t have enough buttons for every key, so y’know.. I was a little disappointed that you still needed the computer in order to stream on mobile, you might as well just play on computer at that point..Version: 1.1.93
✓ Brilliant!Works like a dream on the iPad Pro 12.9! Ok it doesn’t fill the screen but that’s a minor detail and also apple fault. I’m only using it in the next room so not far away from my PC so can use the Xbox one controller connected via Bluetooth to my pc. I played Rage 2 and it works really well!.Version: 1.0
✓ Very Thought OutGot the app to see if I can control my PC with my iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard and it freaking worked! Steam allows my PC to read the keyboard’s inputs with, according to the app, a “fair connection” level. They even allow you to disable the video stream. They even enabled gyro controls with the iPad. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! This is very well thought out and I’m just scratching the surface with the features. The trackpad on the Magic Keyboard just shoots the mouse into the top left corner. A mouse connected directly to my PC did the trick. Thanks Valve!.Version: 1.1.64
✓ Finally!Been wanting a Steam Link app for macOS for SO long and now it's finally here! If all I want to do is stream my gaming PC to my MBP, I don't really need to install the full blown Steam and that's where this lightweight and easily installed/uninstalled app fits in perfectly... it works just like the Steam Link app on iOS, tvOS, etc... simple and does the job. THANK YOU, VALVE! Now the icing on the cake is if they would put a version on the Microsoft Store for low powered Surface devices where you just want to Stream Steam and not install the whole client.Version: 1.1.77
✓ Is it compatible with Xbox series s?I don’t know if it is compatible with the series s and I want to know.Version: 1.1.84
✓ You cant take your games “On the Go”IDK why it says “Take your steam games on the go” in the screenshots because you can only take them around your house as it has to be on local network, but other than that it works well! Sometimes it’s nice to be able to play in bed rather than sat at a desk!.Version: 1.1.84
✓ Cant turn off pcThe second I turn off my PC it just disconnects I would love to be able to play simple games like terraria or Undertale on my phone when I’m in my car this would be great will be a four-star until this is added but anyways thanks valve this is kind of cool..Version: 1.1.89
✓ Steam linkI like the idea of being able to play my steam game on my phone or iPad but once it’s linked up to steam and my computer I think you should be able play it even if you computer is switched off if you can make it possible.Version: 1.1.84
✓ InterestingIt works well, only downside is that the bit rate makes the game not come through perfectly clearly, though that is expected as the streaming quality is comparable to that of the twitch app..Version: 1.1.62
✓ I very much appreciate that it existsIt’s not perfect but no game streaming services I’ve tried yet are, the biggest problem is out of Steam’s control, internet speed and packet loss, I also wish it had spatial audio support on Mac so I can remotely play games like Rust on iPad with my AirPods Pro in 7.1 surround, the greatest feature is that it’s free..Version: 1.1.89
✓ Works perfectlyI've been waiting for so long.Version: 1.0
✓ Not sure what everyone is complaining aboutWorks perfectly if you have a good WiFi connection. I've been playing tons of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy using a PS5 controller connected via bluetooth. The controls are extremely responsive and even the vibration works. Don't leave a negative review if you're trying to stream using a poor access point, as you'd be setting yourself up for disappointment..Version: 1.2.0
✓ AmazinBrilliant now I can use this just wish you didn’t have to be on the same network or have your computer running. Then I could go to a cafe and use mobile data to play my games when bored, otherwise no issues!.Version: 1.1.64
✓ Great appWhats with all the dummies who don't understand what this app does or why it's necessay. a) There is a different steam app for direct steam use. Games are limited to titles with mac support. b) This app is to steam from a steam PC. Why would you want this? Well let's say I want to play a game on my TV, on in bed, our outside in a hammock - with this I can use a mac laptop intead of lugging a desktop around the house. Same reason steam link is already available for smart TVs, tablets, phones etc.Version: 1.1.82
✓ Great!Works best with a controller as sometimes with simulated mouse you can click off a game that you run windowed and get out of steam, because you can’t tab back in it makes things awkward, also you need to be on the same WiFi which is limiting but given that it’s effectively remote access it makes sense, would love to see a way to lock it to steam only access and allow cellular, overall it’s a great app that does exactly as promised. A little more freedom with what controls you can place at any given time would be nice but again that problem is null with a controller. 9/10.Version: 1.1.54
✓ Works amazinglyThis app is amazing I can access my computer steam to my phone with this app and I mainly use it to play castle crashes with my PlayStation 4 controller to play easier not sure if the touch screen works but I’d recommend a controller either way I get a solid 60 frames and about 720p-1080p depending on my internets mood :) overall I think most people should give this a go at first when you launch the app and if it dosnt work close the steam link and reboot it then connect to your computer again and it should work..Version: 1.1.80
✓ Worth the wait.I use other apps to connect to my pc for light games but this is a game changer. Running rocket league and euro truck simulator 2 like a dream on a iPad Air 2 and iPhone XR.Version: 1.1.61
✓ This app is almost perfect.This app works really good before it would glitch but now it works amazing! It’s just that the graphics are not as good as what it would be on pc but that’s obvious that it probably won’t be fixable..Version: 1.1.60
✓ I play my games on here using the apple ipad!Everything now works fine! Bugs and patches fixed.Version: 1.1.84
✓ Amazing but just needs 2 thingsSteam link is just absolutely great and i love it so much!! im able to play The Forest and Friday The 13th and its just so amazing but theres just one problem. i am unable to shift/Run when i play with my buttons on screen so it would be great if there was a button or maybe having to double tap and hold the joystick and is it possible for us to be able to play with our laptop offline and maybe being really really really far apart from our laptop because something like that would be really helpful when trying to play from another location on your phone instead of having to play while your at home 🏡 and okay now this will be the last thing i promise haha but um is there any possible way that the buttons on the controller can be customized in their size because if i have a small phone i wanna make sure i can see a lot of the screen and sometimes some buttons just cover most of the screen so if you guys could cover these things it would be amazing. Thank you so much for your time and you guys are doing amazing so keep at it.Version: 1.0
✓ Excellent Entertainment ToolThis is an awesome app if you’re entertaining guests and your desktop isn’t viewable on your main television or something like that. I see someone else commented that it’s not like PS app where you can stream while the system is offline. And obviously you can’t because it’s not a cloud server it’s literally your PC and your Mobile device LOCALLY not a remote device. With this and AMD Link together you’ve got the best of both worlds..Version: 1.1.90
✓ Crash immediately at launchHelp, pls fix ASAP!!.Version: 1.1.54
✓ Excellent software, works amazingly.I am using this to play PC games on an ipad remotely, using my own VPN. It works incredibly well, even with a poor connection (15mb/s). Incredibly good input latency too considering the poor bandwidth!.Version: 1.1.81
✓ Great but iconWoohoo, finally a slim app for remote play, thanks Valve! One minor thought, the icon looks super weird in my dock compared to the rest of them. Please fix 🥺 Update: The icon is now a bit better, but it's still massive 😕.Version: 1.1.75
✓ AmazingThe idea of being able to play my games on my phone or other devices is in itself amazing. I’m absolutely blown away at this. Not only does this allow me some freedom in regards to proximity and the like, it gives new life to games I’ve shelved. For example, Stardew Valley: great game, I love it, but I’ve always felt it would be better as a mobile game and when I saw it on my phone’s App Store, I knew it would be fun but I wasn’t willing to buy it twice. This allows me to not only play Stardew Valley on my mobile but also treat it like I have felt it should be, something I check in on and play in 20 minute or so increments rather than dedicate hours to at a time. Brilliant idea, and the fact that it’s possible.... I can’t sing your praises enough..Version: 1.1.43
✓ AwesomeI see a lot of people who are disappointed that you have to be on the same network but that was the intent to be able to just chill like upstairs or in another room and access all the games from steam. This allows the buttery smooth connection and very low latency which makes the games playable as opposed to other streaming apps. Maybe in the future they will add the ability to not be on the same network but this is definitely a strong start..Version: 1.0
✓ Windows 11 does not work yetThis works perfectly on windows 10, but not windows 11 (yet!).Version: 1.1.81
✓ Amazing appBeing able to play my favourite games from steam on my iPhone plus with remote has changed the amount of gaming I can do with little time to sit at my pc anymore. Thank you steam for making this.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Negative reviews are missing the pointThe majority of the negative reviews are from people who expected the app to do something it wasn't meant to. This app is for when you have a gaming PC at home, on the same network as your Mac, and you want to stream Steam games from the gaming PC to the Mac. It does a great job of this. I've been (re)playing Skyrim on my Mac from the convenience of my bed, with the Mac keyboard and a wired mouse. There's a very slight lag, but it isn't noticeable when using the mouse to aim and look around... it's only noticeable when using the mouse as a cursor, e.g., when navigating menus. There is also the occasional stutter, but it's not annoying. Overall it's not an absolutely perfect experience, but it's better than being tethered to my gaming PC. When you stop and think about how crazy it is that you're streaming a whole game from one computer to another with very low latency, this is a solid 5-star app..Version: 1.1.90
✓ Working nowLatest update to iOS 13.3.1 seems to have fixed this crashing on opening..Version: 1.1.55
✓ This is actually goodI wanted to play my favourite game on my iOS,without jailbreaking it but since I had bought it on steam I tried to get a way to cast steam and this app actually works so you can cast steam to your iPhone or iPad but you need to be on the same wifi connection and you need a controller for the best gameplay.Version: 1.1.81
✓ Very nice im happy!Oh yeah! I was waiting for this for a long time! I wanted to buy a retro console but when i saw this app its make me save money , now i can play on iphone any game i want 😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰😍😍.Version: 1.1.78
✓ Good thing this isn’t perfectSo in the last year I have found myself hopelessly addicted to a little pc game called Kenshi, it quickly surpassed all other titles in total play hours. I came across the steam link app and thought “why not let this game run my life completely, even when I can’t be around my laptop? I surely have nothing better to do.” So I set out to get this working. For those who don’t know Kenshi is a game you can essentially play on pause so perfectly suited to this very high latency format. It was about two days of being impressed by how nicely their editor lets you set up a control scheme, triple checking that I had saved it in every way I could think, and finding my setup gone on returning to the app before… Some glorious serendipity of overlapping bugs allowed me to recall my settings! I was off! Also thrilled to find that it is workable even streaming across town over cell. In fact performance seems inconsistent no mater what network setup I've tried, even with a cable in the computer sitting next to the router. However, it has always worked well enough to get my fix in various levels of blurriness. Unfortunately the app also crashes when taken out of focus and sometimes randomly. But still, pretty wild the ways we can waste our time these days, this must be meta. .? Keep trying valve, you are somewhat appreciated. Ken heads check my layout, I think it’s the only one.Version: 1.1.84
✓ Latest update crashesThe new update to the Steam client seems to no longer allow the link app to connect to it. It also makes the new big screen mode laggy and ultimately crashes, so that’s not great either. Other than that this app works great. I’ll be keeping an eye for that fix!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ New Xbox controller compatibilityThis is working on my google pixel 3 with the new Xbox series x controller I just bought for pc however when trying to connect the same controller to my iPad mini 3 it says no controller detected in steam app but connects fine to iPad..Version: 1.1.66
✓ Another great piece of softwareFrom the moment I booted up portal I knew I would love valve software. This app makes it insanely easy to play your pc games on your phone, iPad, or Apple TV. Valve really is the best..Version: 1.1.78
✓ OMG THIS App is so goooooodffCfdfdgdf.Version: 1.1.75
✓ Got potentialThis could turn into something big but meeds a lot of work.Version: 1.1.64
✓ Best appI love this app it works perfectly.Version: 1.1.64
✓ I feel bad for some people but maybe next time don’t try to run it on an iMac.From one that plays this just remember not all iPads phones laptops are designed for Steam mobile or whatever the hell it’s called I just want you to know that that’s why some people don’t like it that’s why some people like it because those people like it they have good hardware variable handle it but if you think it’s sucky your computer is a problem..Version: 1.1.89
✓ WowBlows my mind, I cannot comprehend the steam deck and be able to play steam games on your phone it’s actually mind blowing. Insane job steam..Version: 1.1.90
✓ Works amazingly, no noticeable latencyThis app is awesome for playing steam games on your iOS device. There is no noticeable latency and the quality of the streamed video is amazing. I would say there is honestly no way of telling that the games are being streamed. My one problem is I can’t seem to use the steam social features (I.e chat and accept invites) which can be inconvenient. But otherwise the app works amazingly!.Version: 1.1.64
✓ Great but recent update crashing has made fans angryThe app works well, good streaming, however the recent update has caused the program to crash upon opening..Version: 1.1.54
✓ Great tech, some bugsOn-screen keyboard freezes the app and can’t be closed (tested on iPhone XR, iPhone 11 Pro) when controller is connected (tested with DualSense, Backbone One).Version: 1.1.84
✓ It’s way better now.I tried this originally when I got my iPad Pro two years ago and it was a bit rough around the edges. Having played on my brother’s steam deck I was intrigued about how it was and if it had improved, and it had! My partner and I often sit in the living room together and my PC is in another room in our flat. Steaink works perfectly for me, no visible latency, super clear and smooth. Controller and touch intergration is much much better than it used to be..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Keeps crashingThis was working perfectly but this month it has been crashing immediately when opened. Please fix this!.Version: 1.1.54
✓ AmazingAbsolutely amazing on iPhone and even better on Apple TV. I’m playing wireless as pc is upstairs and it’s almost flawless. Playing GtaV and other games with MFI controller like I’m playing with a console in front of me..Version: 1.0
✓ Keep working on it has unlimited potentialBroke after recent iOS update, apples fault not valves otherwise good app.Version: 1.1.54
✓ Nearly flawlessI tried this app a few months back and felt it just didn’t look or feel good enough to actually play games for an extended period of time on but today I tried again and was amazed what an incredible experience my wireless (no Ethernet) Apple TV was able to pull off. Was able to play the last 4 hours of resident evil 2 remake with no issues whatsoever today. No discernible input delay or major artifacting. Super clear font and all. I was seriously impressed. Not sure if they did something under the hood recently to make this much better or what but I plan on using this all the time now..Version: 1.1.55
✓ *slow clap*The only good Steam mobile app, shocking....Version: 1.1.44
✓ External display support added!Just updating my review to say that the recent update to enable external display streaming works great! That combined with keyboard and mouse support could make this a fine replacement for the 1080p limited Steam Link box..Version: 1.1.65
✓ A Stellar App for GamersFlawless Functionality: This app works seamlessly for its intended purpose, and I couldn't be happier with how well it performs. It's a testament to the developers' dedication and expertise. Free and Accessible: It's worth noting that this app is not only functional but also free to use. The generosity of the developers in providing such a valuable tool for free is commendable. Cons: None. Seriously, there's nothing to complain about here. Final Thoughts: I find it perplexing when I come across negative reviews from users who might not have fully grasped the capabilities and purpose of the Steam app. To the developers: Your work is exceptional, and your contribution to the gaming community is invaluable. Thank you for making this tool available to us. Don't be discouraged by the naysayers – your dedicated users appreciate your hard work. Keep it up!.Version: 1.3.6
✓ What a world we live inMan I just played call of duty sitting in my car waiting for my shift to start at work. Although theres a pretty hefty input delay 10/10 would recommend. (Console or pc must be on for steamlink to work as it uses the hardware of that console/pc to run the game).Version: 1.3.6
✓ Best used as wireless audio.I find the best use case for Steam link, is to use your phone and headphones of choice with steam link. It creates a makes for a great work around when you have no bluetooth port/ Headphones. Turn off Video and controls and it streams great depending on the internet/data each device is using, you could even use Googles Desktop sharing tool for a lighter weight version of this workaround. Otherwise used, Steam Link its a half decent showcase of Valve's streaming tech, is one downfall really is how bloated it is. That plus your bandwidth/data bottlenecking just slows everything down further....Version: 1.2.0
✓ Fab!Its great to finally have this app on the mac app store - my only criticism is that the icon is too big, so its mega chonky next to every else on the dock. Valve pls fix!.Version: 1.1.78
✓ Amazing! But not for all gamesPersonally I think this is best for single player games that don’t require fast reaction times. Maybe turn based games, visual novels, extremely story rich games that have no combat, etc. The link is a little nuanced, and I mainly use it to connect to my computer from home in desktop mode so I can stream anime from it to my phone while at work. I personally believe this app is best for simply being able to fully access your computer from your phone. Playing any game that has combat will not be fun because there is quite a bit of input lag, and it’ll be a little frustrating to play..Version: 1.1.93
✓ Remote playJust tried playing on my iPhone. Works really well, a bit of lag occasionally but I think this is a really cool feature I hope they can put on smart TVs as well. Will try iPad tomorrow!.Version: 1.1.36
