Steam Chat for Negative User Reviews
✓ Why...Why not just add these features in the original steam app instead of splitting in 2? The friend section is still in the original app....Version: 1.0.11

There was a problem logging you in. Retry? Friends Network Loading... There was a problem logging you in. Retry? Friends Network Loading... There was a problem logging you in. Retry?.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Doesn’t bloody work!What a load of rubbish can’t even log into my account.Version: 1.0.15
✓ No keyboard?Can’t use this App as I click on the chat box and no keyboard turns up!?!? What’s the point of having a chat facility if you don’t supply a means for people to chat??? It’s bizarre, nonsensical and, as another reviewer put it, it’s not like they don’t have the money to release a working app!! Only gets 1 star as can’t put a big fat zero!!.Version: 1.0.15
✓ BrokrnbDoesn’t work. Have tried to login multiple times and it does not work. REFUSE TO DOWNLOAD.Version: 1.0.15
✓ WhyIf you are going to suddenly make it a seperate app, i cbf resetting my password i’m already logged in on the regular app can’t it just pull from there.Version: 1.0.15
✓ No notification soundThis app is definitely an improvement on the other. However I get no sound notification when I receive a message and when I’m away it sometimes shows me as offline. I hope they fix it. I’m returning to the old, clunkier version in the mean time..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Just noAdd this to the regular steam app..Version: 1.0.15
✓ I can’t talk or hear my friends talkingWTAF - so this is just a typing to friends chat!!!??? How about the actual talking and listening to friends. That’s what I call “chat”!!!!!! Bloody useless!!!!.Version: 1.0.12
✓ Seperate app?!Having a seperate app for chat is annoying and pointless, should just partner with discord and be done with it.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Just what no one neededIt’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..Version: 1.0.15
✓ FailNot working.Version: 1.0.15
✓ App is atrociousBarely loads anything and the speed at loading is abysmal. The fact you guys had to make a separate app to let us chat on the same program is just so… words can’t describe what I want to say. I regret updating steam app to it forcing me to download this trash, but it seemed like steam chats weren’t loading new messages or supported the old firmware anymore, so I’m now stuck with this dog pile..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Can’t login, fails to connectConstantly getting ‘failed to connect to steam’.Version: 1.0.15
✓ AnnoyedAdd a voice chat feature please Jesus.Version: 1.0.11
✓ Doesn’t fit table screenHas its own keyboard and the space bar fails for me half the time I really can’t see why this couldn’t be integrated into the main app.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Needs updatingClicking into the chat box to reply doesn’t bring up the keyboard on the iPhone version. Needs an update now the main steam app redirects to this one for sending messages.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Why 2 apps when 1 worked before?I’m with everyone else one this; it’s stupid to have to install a second app to add function to your new and improved Steam app when chat worked in the previous version. I’m seriously considering removing both..Version: 1.0.15
✓ There was a problem logging you inBeen like this for a while now, has Steam discontinued this app as it appears you can now chat to friends via the main Steam app?.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Absolutely garbageI don’t normally leave reviews but after sitting on the app trying to login for 20 mins and it saying failed to connect in beyond infuriated. I clearly have a connection as I’m leaving this review and the main steam app is working fine so it’s not steams servers being down. Why on earth valve decided to separate the chat app from the main app I have no clue but it was a silly decision..Version: 1.0.15
✓ No Voice or Video ChatSteam Chat should support voice or video chat..Version: 1.0.12
✓ WhyWhy not just improve that original steam app and add these features to it. I only downloaded this to get the voice chat challenge done for the holiday badge but it doesn’t even have voice chat. If you think this app is useful, discord will blow your mind....Version: 1.0.11
✓ Stupid.Wished this was built into the app, rather than a seperate thing to download..Version: 1.0.15
✓ UnnecessaryYes, it is good but no one asked for this and it didn’t need to be made. Valve should have upgraded the original Steam app instead of making this..Version: 1.0.12
✓ Notifications don’t even workIt’s a laggy app and you get no notifications for when someone messages you. They should have just kept the chat function in the actual Steam app..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Why?Why have a second app for 1 specific part of steam?.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Please Reconsider..Hello, I never write reviews, but for this, I have too write a negative review. I’ve used steam for 19 years - so I’d hope my review means something. The previous app was ideal, everything within one app, having too download a second app just for chat is ridiculous. Please reconsider and make everything available in one app again. Thanks, SS.Version: 1.0.15
✓ RidiculousRidiculous that after years of working great, you make it a whole separate app. I will be deleting both apps soon because of this..Version: 1.0.15
✓ 🙄This app WAS fine a year ago, then steam devs decided to redesign the entire app to have a similar feel to the desktop app, ever since then the app has been broken. I can’t open links, when I try to view store pages for games it pulls a loading screen for a sec then just goes back to the previous page, links dont work, pages are broken, I cant even find a game in the wild and be like “huh I should add that to my wishlist” nope I have to get on my pc now because the app is so broken I cant view a frickin store page anymore. Fix it guys, this is ridiculous, you shouldnt try to fix what isn’t broken..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Steam Chat value? Having a Hard time?Less than week ago I tried to download this Steam Chat Value app, for whatever reason it will not let me download. All I see is a round circle that refuses to download it fully. At the same time I wish that it can download it fully. In other words when it download fully I can use this app. So that way I can download it in order for me to use this Steam Chat Value..Version: 1.0.12
✓ Steam guard mobile authenticatorI was brought here when I clicked on the link which was supposed to bring me to the title, but for some reason it came to this app? Is there any other app I’m supposed to get for it?.Version: 1.0.12
✓ Keyboard doesn't show up???I'm using an iPhone XR. I've restarted the app multiple times but every time I tap the chat text entry field, the cursor displays and I can paste stuff but I can't type. in a chat app. this is literally useless..Version: 1.0.12
✓ So tiny.The characters are only about 2.5 mm in height when used on an ipad. In both portrait or landscape mode it is the same at a tiny 12 cm for the long side of the the app. Why did apple allow this past its usually very good quality control?.Version: 1.0.15
✓ 😭😭Why would you ever make it a separate app????.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Splitting the app - don’t do itNot a fan of the split app idea, won’t be using this simply for that. You obviously tried to clone a stand-alone discord app, but you aren’t Discord you’re steam. Not to mention the fact that the actual steam app has never looked more outdated than it is right now (last update was TWO years ago) functionality is also not on par with the PC steam client at the moment. Diverting resources to a separate app to clone discord wasn’t exactly the route you should have taken..Version: 1.0
✓ Step down for ipad usersThe addition of being able to send pictures is nice over the older version … but given the main focus is chat … it is just not ipad friendly. I know how to type for real and not the gimped thumb way. Give us ipad users an app with a full key board instead of the crap iphone style. For its primary use it is near useless for people that for real type. Give us a proper ipad version instead of gimped iphone hand me downs.Version: 1.0.15
✓ 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...disappointing.Version: 1.0
✓ Why does this even existValve should use the resources it spends on this to fix and improve the Steam app. Why duplicate the chat feature in this app? Or at least add steam guard to this app. I mean seriously, if I want to have functional chat AND steam guard enabled, I have to have two apps on my phone. Or here’s a crazy thought: allow us to use Google authenticator instead! What a waste!.Version: 1.0.12
✓ Steam Mobile without Chat?NOW PUT THAT THING BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM, OR SO HELP ME.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Fix the goddamm bugsOne of them after I mention someone steam chat gets freezed.Version: 1.0.12
✓ TrashCan’t even login.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Doesn’t even loadFails to even log in. Says it failed to connect to steam, even though the main app has no issues and there’s not internet issues. Pointless….Version: 1.0.15
✓ Great app on iPhone but lacks iPad supportNeeds an iPad UX pass and it’ll be a great app, until then it’s fairly useless, especially with a keyboard in landscape mode… which is handy for typing chats :D.Version: 1.0.15
✓ 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..Version: 1.0.15
✓ SimplifyKeep the core features of the app, in the same app, please. Nobody wants a separate app for chat, store, 2fa, etc. Surprising disconnect on ux.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Last updated: 2y agoTells you everything you need to know about this app and Valve’s commitment to iOS and macOS..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Doesn’t WorkThe old apps were at least working. Scary how the quality of the app can go down so much in less than 2 months.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Please give ipad verisonWorks fine but please allow for use on ipad.Version: 1.0.11
✓ Bring Chat backRidiculous that they moved the chat and friends list into a separate app. I can’t even see what the benefit of that is for the company, let alone the user. Whoever made that decision blew it..Version: 1.0.15
✓ WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU VALVEDo you even have a division supporting these mobile apps or do you periodically contract the work out to a bunch of clowns. You have more than enough money so get a small proper mobile division and update these apps with bugfixes regularly!!!! Currently, this app doesn't give any notifications. SORT IT OUT FFS.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Work Not In ProgressSometimes the app works enough to chat, but the number of times that the app is broken is staggering. The fact that the app won’t even let you login this often is sad. Support doesn’t seem to exist at all..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Worst messaging app i've ever usedI 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?.Version: 1.0.15
✓ StupidShould have just kept it in the regular steam app there was no reason to make the steam messages a different app….. legit like taking one step forward and two steps back with how you have done this..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Why have one app when you can have two?!Next they’ll be forcing Steam Store and Steam Community into separate apps as well, I bet. Stupid idea that I guess we’re just gonna have to live with..Version: 1.0.15
✓ No calling + no chat saving featureL don't like how you can't save chats or do voice calls. I've been waiting 4-5 years for that. Discord has had it forever (archived chats + voice calling) and it's the reason I prefer Discord. Everyone I know uses Discord voice chat while playing games through Steam. Also, please let us choose our preference when logging in, at least on the apps because it's a hassle (guard, text verification, or email - don't force us to use the guard all the time)..Version: 1.0.15
✓ I don’t understand itSo I guess valve just really really don’t want us to be using Steam as a social hub. That’s the only reasoning I can come up with for this unreliable garbage..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Notifications bruhSo I think the app is okay but Valve really needs to fix the notifications. For a little I was getting banner notifications, then just icon notifications, and now nothing. It’s just so broken..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Has the developer seen the latest reviews?This app needs to be fixed as it no longer works 👎.Version: 1.0.15
✓ The new update Steam chat app logging problems.Someone help me to login into my steam chat app, the password and username is correct on steam app. But when I try the same password on steam app chat its says (can’t connect to steam)..Version: 1.0.15
✓ UselessDoes not even work, can’t believe we are now forced to use this useless app, the old steam app chats worked better than this…. What an absolute joke….Version: 1.0.15
✓ Why even use this when other apps like discord are so much betterI try to send a picture and it sends it but doesn’t even visually display it in the chat. Then when I close out of the app to re-open it, in hopes of resetting it, it tells me it’s unable to log me in (when I was JUST logged in beforehand). I say “okay, I’ll just try the retry button”. And it repeats the message “unable to login” over and over. I really should be giving this 1 star, but its only saving grace is that it is cross-platform with my PC and reflects the same messages sent to and from..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Does not work!!This app doesn’t work at all :( I have an iPhone 11 and every time I try and login in it comes up red saying “failed to connect to steam” can somebody help? This is so frustrating!!.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Combine this UI with the main appThis app is surprisingly functional coming from valve. Doesn’t take away from the fact that you force your users to use a pathetic excuse of OS software. shame on you..Version: 1.0.11
✓ Rubbish.So now this is forced on us now that the main steam app has got rid of it's built in chat. The reason why I never used this in the first place because it was not optimised for a tablet at had no landscape mode! I mean ffs i don't want to be typing on a silly little keyboard on a tablet!.Version: 1.0.15
✓ No notificationsNo push notifications anymore I have to go into the app to see if I have a message.Version: 1.0.15
✓ No notificationsAs title says. This app just doesn’t work anymore and hasn’t been updated in 2 years!.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Overall good app, but it’s missing the ability to watch friends’ gamesThis app mirrors the friends list on desktop, yet I cannot access game information when my friends are playing a game: I can’t access a game’s store page nor can I request to watch my friends’ broadcast.Version: 1.0.15
✓ I can’t send picsWhat the hell is this steam with in a day every time I try to send a pic I get error you do know the only reason a lot of people probably use this app over steam app is to be able to send pics on a mobile device.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Lacks proper notification timeout settingsThere is no way other than to log out to stop getting push notification even when with the app fully closed. And always shows you on mobile to others even with the app fully closed. The old app in this regard was better as it only gave notifications / showed mobile status when the app was used recently..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Removed from original app and clunkyI never write reviews but this is going to be my first. Been using steam for over 10 years now and I feel like this is a step backwards when I tried to access my friends list like normal on my regular steam app and was directed to the store to download this. Feels really clunky, takes up more space and it’s super irritating to need to switch between apps when it’s the same platform. Overall this just feels like a super bad decision. You didn’t need to break something that was functioning better than this, could just improve the old app and people would be happy..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Who passed this??1. No reason to separate the only good working portion of the Steam app 2. It doesn’t even work as well as before 3. Y’all must have a massive clown in charge of this unnecessary joke 4. I simply refuse to believe that there was someone who woke up and thought this was a good idea, sharing it to the board, board somehow agreeing with this madman, and finally launching this piece of art lol I’m very sorry for people who had to develop this app well-knowing it won’t be getting straight 5 star reviews. My personal conclusion, chat system was supposed to be a “feature”, unless you guys seriously think that people are going to use the Steam app just to browse purchase games lol. tldr; take the L and bring back the chat feature on the original app.Version: 1.0.15
✓ If it ain’t broke, don’t break it.Not only is separating it into 2 apps useless, it doesn’t even work. How can you possibly mess up this bad..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Make everything less efficient why don’t youSeriously, it was better all in one app. Who does this, especially when before it was more similar to the pc app? Baffling decision, especially considering no more money is made this way than previously. Also it’s counterintuitive, because it’s harder to find friends wish lists on mobile, so you hurt the ease with which you can sell products. From a design perspective, don’t do this..Version: 1.0.15
✓ InternetThe app was good untill I haven’t been receiving notifications for 2 years.Version: 1.0.15
✓ An unnecessary app that doesn’t even workThis app has been around for years, and for some reason with the latest update to the associated Steam app, Valve has finally decided to force users onto this Steam Chat app. This app has been notorious within the Steam community as constantly crashing when sending messages, the UI being not optimized for a mobile phone, and just overall unnecessary when chats have been always within the Steam app itself. Quite frankly, this update has just made me overall NOT use the Steam app. No point really if I can’t send my friends a message, and no point in having this app cause it doesn’t even work as good as the old chats….Version: 1.0.15
✓ Overall pleasedI'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..Version: 1.0
✓ STUPIDWhy does this have to be seperated from the Steam app?.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Work good on iphone, but please ipad supportIPad support would be really nice.Version: 1.0.11
✓ Why?You should put the Authenticator in a different app too you dummies.Version: 1.0.15
✓ SeriouslyNow that steam, main app removed the chat feature I have to use this. It was clearly made form phones. Ignoring that tablet users exist. The interface is small and it lets you stretch it. Still small and does fill in the whole screen when used horizontal. The keyboard is not a full keyboard either making it annoying to type. Fix this problem. Not everyone uses these things on phones..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Bad appThis is by far the dumbest thing you guys could have done for the last couple days not has your app claimed I been offline but just recently logged me out and claimed I failed to log in while not logging out in the first place this a bad app and if you don’t fix it I recommend no one use the apps at all they ruined both of them and this is highly disappointing >:(.Version: 1.0.13
✓ Chat historyThey should allow us to delete chat history after texting..Version: 1.0.11
✓ Useful except you can’t callI really like that you can now chat with groups and friends over mobile but I have one issue, you can’t call any groups or friends, my friends prefer to use steam over discord and I don’t want to have to get on a computer every time I contact my friends.Version: 1.0.13
✓ Just wanted to see what friends were onlineTried to use ordinary steam app yet couldnt find “friends tab” either the Ui is stoopid, or its not there. So i investigated this chat app, assuming it will show me who is online. BUT NOOO. Cant even log in “failed to connect to steam” It’s literally the only app that has an issue connecting to steam in this house! Fix your sheit you useless devs. Need some help? Hit me up..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Why does this exist?Why separate this from the main app this is Facebook level of stupidity, just give me one good reason why this is adding an extra level of annoyance. And there’s no good reason I can think of doing this just add it back to the main app and get rid of this abomination..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Failed to connect steamCan’t log in the chat.Version: 1.0.15
✓ BuggyWhat was the point on making anther app? Okay when it made nothing better?.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Fluid and works well, but seems pointless.It does it’s job, and it does it well. However, it doesn’t seem worth keeping it. The original Steam app is quite awful, but while being clunky, the chat was still functional. To have developed a whole new app instead of overhauling the current app (which is severely out-of-date (like, two years without an update)), just seems completely unreasonable. This doesn’t help me in anyway, all it does it give me more clutter on my home-screen..Version: 1.0
✓ Just doesn’t workStraight up just doesn’t update. Had an ongoing conversation in steam chat on my PC and none of it appeared in this app..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Reviews speak for themselvesUnbelievable, people got paid to develop this! One of the worst ideas ever (segregate chat from regular steam app). Not enough, as of Dec 22nd 2022 this lovely app stopped connecting to Steam. I raised a case on steam support and I’m waiting to laugh at the generic answers they will give to me (check you internet connection, restart your phone, ensure you have the latest IOS version, blá-blá-blá). Does Steam care? Not at all! This is the rule with big tech companies. They change things as they please and we have to accept..Version: 1.0.15
✓ 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..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Not needed just fix the main appThis is unnecessary just fix the main app smh.Version: 1.0.15
✓ AMAZING2 stars because they wasted resources making a good chat app rather than fixing the official auth app that has chat already. If the team is capable to make this, why can’t they fix and streamline the official app?.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Could be betterIt’s okay, it’s a lot better than the steam mobile app. However, the notifications aren’t the most reliable, sometimes images get randomly tilted sideways, and messages just straight up disappear sometimes..Version: 1.0.15
✓ BrokenIt doesn’t let me sign in. Why is that so difficult, let alone requiring a seperate app?.Version: 1.0.15
✓ No keyboardI honestly don’t know what’s worse. This? The steam mobile app or the web viewer via iphone. Not one will let me send a message, well no that isn’t entirely true. This app lets me send a message as long as I copy and paste it in. Is it so difficult to get a chat system right? 2 stars because it actually lets you see which of your friends is online and clean interface. Forget this app, just get the web app working. Would be cheaper too..Version: 1.0.12
✓ Two apps is backwardsOkay I like some of the improvements BUT having to download a separate application to do the same exact thing you were able to do with one is kinda backwards, it’s super inconvenient. I just want to chat with my friends while looking through games and news and this new set up makes it so needlessly difficult to enjoy your experience..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Every time I attempt to use this app it finds a new way to break itselfI can’t think of a more frustrating, poorly built, complete waste of space of an app. Please go back to just 1 app steam. Please..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Doesn’t even workThe stupid app doesn’t even let you login So pointless.Version: 1.0.15
✓ 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).Version: 1.0.15
✓ Waste of timeMake us have 2 apps; junk.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Steam app update forced me to download this trash.And here I thought Steam's mobile app couldn't get any worse. The chat function in the old unified app was wonky and buggy, and didn't support image attachments. This "improved" chat app doesn't even support landscape on iPad making it effectively unusable on this platform. Oh, and they added a button to attach images but it doesn't even work..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Lacks Landscape mode for tablets.There’s probably mixed opinions for splitting the Chat and main mobile program but the update was necessary since the main client is so outdated. The program seems to be designed for phones first because I cannot find an option for Landscape mode which I use a lot on this tablet..Version: 1.0
✓ Chat NotificationsA chat app is pretty useless when notifications don’t work..Version: 1.0.11
✓ DissapointingDoesn’t show who’s online or who’s in-game correctly. Or what they are playing. Basically friends online and game status is not displaying properly on chat app. And why separate chat from the main steam app? Annoying..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Cannot connect to steam serverCannot login, useless. Why do you remove the chat function from the main app?.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Not workingSays Failed to connect to Steam when I try to login.Version: 1.0.15
✓ WhyWhy would I want to Inconvenience myself so badly?.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Why???Literally no reason for this to be separate from the steam app. Very frustrating and unintuitive software bloat.Version: 1.0.15
✓ UTTER TRASHPUT CHAT FUNCTIONS BACK IN THE STEAM MOBILE APP WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WERE YOU THINKING GARBAGE TERRIBLE BAD NO GOOD APP DONT DOWNLOAD.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Voice Chat is still missingThis app is good for group messaging but is missing the ability to join group voice channels. This is such a basic feature on Discord, I can’t believe it hasn’t been implemented already..Version: 1.0.15
✓ IPad Support?Decent but it lacks iPad support..Version: 1.0
✓ If it ain’t broke don’t fix.Not sure what you guys are doing separating chat from the main app. Switch back to normal now please..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Failed to connect to SteamThe app worked fine until recently and now I can’t even log in to chat app. “Failed to connect to Steam” at 5th day? When are they fixing this issue?.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Does not workFails to connect to Steam, despite being authenticated in both the other mobile app and in the browser too. Laughable application.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Can’t login.Can’t message from phone anymore because you can’t message from the Steam app. Odd..Version: 1.0.15
✓ No iPad versionIf you’re trying to compete with discord - you’ve failed. How can you not have an iPad version?.Version: 1.0
✓ Broken integration with steam appFor one, this should have been an update to the original steam app in the first place. And now that they’re separate, they’re not properly integrated. I still get notifications through the old steam app for chat messages and I can’t ever clear them out because chat doesn’t work on the old app. Opening store pages doesn’t open them in the steam app, it opens a safari window. And why haven’t they fixed the old, broken steam app that hasn’t been updated in two years?.Version: 1.0.6
✓ WorksShould be part of the regular steam app.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Why 2 Apps?I hate apps where there’s another separate app for chats, it should be one convenient bundle. I only have the steam app 1.) for steam guard 2.) to check on my friends vaguely. I can’t even add a friend without an invite link on the app, so when I want to search for a friend that I don’t have added that’s not online, I can’t through the app. Overall very frustrating and not worth the time/space an additional app takes up.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Never loadsNever 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!.Version: 1.0.15
✓ BuggyHas errors and fails to send messages.Version: 1.0.15
✓ SteamI don’t hate this but I do hate that the two apps are not combined, and even that they are EXTREMELY hard to regonize from each other, I do get, and have the same problem with iMessage and Phone apps because they could be easily combined but this is a new level of that..Version: 1.0.15
✓ I use steam app a lot but this is not itMobile steam app on my iPhone 12 is one of my most used apps. Checked today and saw it updated and chat is now a seperate app. Jarring experience to users with no warning or notification of this happening. This doesn’t need to be stand alone please integrate back with steam app.Version: 1.0.15
✓ WhyFirst why have this as a seperate app? Second why not have voice chat only text? What a massive oversight/failure of an app. Why even have it?.Version: 1.0.11
✓ Slow and buggyI definitely understand not wanting to be a battery hog like messenger as that app destroys your battery life. However it seems like a few compromises could be made. It takes a full minute to update after I receive the notification sometimes which is just a bummer. Terrible app. Please invest some more money into this app..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Doesnt workUnable to log in, ‘failed to connect to steam’.Version: 1.0.15
✓ GeniusLets make a seperate app for Chatting on Mobile so Valve can Make MOAR MONEEEEEY YAAAAY. What a Scummy Move. Might Bounce over to Epic Games for a while. Yeah I know. Its Garbage aswell..Version: 1.0.15
✓ BrokenBroken, won’t load anything. Also don’t understand why it has to be a separate app from Steam itself, but if it has to be, it should at least work. Please fix.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Not a big fan of them making two separate apps. Should just redesign a brand new app.Gg.Version: 1.0.6
✓ 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..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Not built for tablets at allSo after removing the chat function from the steam mobile app itself and destroying that UI, Valve has decided to take it one step further and make the UI for the separate chat app even WORSE. The app does not have a tablet/landscape mode, and instead displays in it’s vertical mode screen all the time, even when the device is in landscape. Which is painful to type in because the keyboard only appears in that tiny little window. Totally useless as an app until they improve or update it. (Which, knowing how Valve treats all their IP’s and products, will likely never happen).Version: 1.0.15
✓ Trash3 steps backward.Version: 1.0.15
✓ They should have updated the steam mobile app instead of developing this app.Honestly, it’s hard to see the point of this app..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Is not goodIt so bad.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Multiple issues not fixed for years.A few years ago my steam chat stopped sending push notifications regardless of settings in app or iPhone. Regular steam app sends them fine for reminders about sales etc. What's worse is friend status doesn't update/refresh for about 30 seconds after opening app. It shows their cached, previous status from last time the app was open hours ago! If i notice a new message received (only indication is the red circle on the app icon,) opening the app won't show any new message for half a minute too it'll pretend there aren't any. Pull down to refresh doesn't fix, force close/swipe up sometimes improves load speed. Issues encountered over multiple devices, none of my last few iPhones have worked. Known issues with no fix found when you google "steam app lag" or "refresh.".Version: 1.0.15
✓ Doesn’t workSays password is incorrect however it is and I receive a 2FA email so ??.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Better than nothing?It’s better than the original app but there are still a ton of problems with it. For whatever reason, dictate seems wildly incorrect most of the time compared to using dictate with the rest of my phone. But more importantly, it seems to go out of its way to make your life extremely hard if you need to correct anything. Anywhere you tap to select a word will select the wrong word, often multiple lines up and just constantly trolls you while you’re trying to edit. The emoji‘s button is secretly three times bigger than it looks, and will constantly trigger while you’re trying to tap or select anything on the right side. Needs work..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Abysmal, I can’t even sign in!!Seriously, I changed my passwords like 3 times and STILL cannot sign in, even looked up on Google to see if anyone else had the issue and there are MANY people suffering from the same problem, FIX IT, PLEASE, VALVE..Version: 1.0.15
✓ No longer worksThe only use of the app currently is that it tells you that it doesn’t work. Have they taken it offline? “There was a problem logging you in”.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Why is this necessaryI can appreciate overhauling the core steam app as it was seriously clunky and outdated; though why exactly it is now essential to use an entirely separate app for messaging, I have no idea. The old app’s message system worked fine for me, the only hiccups being the occasional duplicate message. Unless there are some wacky new chat features that necessitate having their own app, I fail to see why mobile users should be made to jump through an extra hoop to message friends from their phones. The extra funds and dev time spent to launch this app would’ve been put to far better use overhauling and updating SteamVR, which has been lagging far behind its competitors in ease of use and functionality for years now. Do better, Valve..Version: 1.0.15
✓ TerribleThe app is absolutely terrible. For starters, why do i need to download a separate app when you can just add the chat functions into the normal steam app. Second it has way too many bugs. I can’t even log in most of the time because it “fails to connect to steam.” I can already confirm that this is not an internet issue and is an issue with the app. Overall one of the worst apps I have had to use..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Notifications don't work.What good is a chat app if you don't know that you're getting messages? It seems the notifications are meant to be "smart" and are supposed to be able to tell if you're logged in elsewhere, but it's not as smart as advertised. I'd rather get notifications on multiple devices than none on a device where I wanna get them..Version: 1.0.15
✓ HorribleCant even login. i copy and pasted 2 codes in and they both just said “failed to connect”.Version: 1.0.15
✓ No! Why is this a separate app.Put it back in the main app FFS!.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Its alright butThis app is quite decent. The ability to use steam emoticons is probably my favorite. My only real gripe with this app is that notifications is broken. If you want to continue getting notifications on Steam then I don’t recommend getting this yet because it breaks notifications on the this app and the original Steam App. This issue happened to me but don’t know about everyone else. If that gets fixed this can become a 3-4 star rating..Version: 1.0.8
✓ “There was a problem logging you in”Literally shows that message sometimes everyday from minutes to hours. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn’t. Extremely unpredictable and kind of sad considering it’s steam..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Good but UnnecessaryInstead of fixing and updating the Steam Mobile app, they release a Steam chat app. Have fun using more than one app for one service. Completely pointless. The actual steam app needs to have updates and fixes and this should’ve been integrated into it. Big waste of steams time making this app and my time having to use it..Version: 1.0.6
✓ I never get any notification when I’m outside the appHow can I use your app for chats if I can’t be notified of new messages? PS I’ve already turned on all of the options and have the app permissions in the phone settings..Version: 1.0.11
✓ Bring back the old appWho thought of separating the chat from the main app and think opening 2 apps at a time is a good user experience? Bring back the old app where everything is there. I wanna browse the store and trash-talk my mates without switching to different apps every single time..Version: 1.0.15
✓ No notificationsOften 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?.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Two new apps??Why update the old ui to roll out with two separate apps. I have to install a new app to chat with friends. The confirmation window for trades isn’t any better now it in a clutter of all other notifications that are irrelevant. The trade window is absolutely clapped, why does it say that we’re exchanging x amount of items for x amount of items when the old ui gave you the count of each specific item in the trade.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Serviceable but riddled with problemsI use the app daily to chat with friends and it works great for that but some of the features advertised simply do not work. One of those are notifications, I receive no notifications. I also notice when I close the app my status is taken offline instead of being shown as away. Hope things improve in the future but knowing Valve I won’t hold my breath for anything in the near future..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Not useful as a messaging service.Firstly, separating it from the Steam mobile client is not a great move as it reduced the app’s functionality. But worst of all, it fails as a chat app because it no longer even sends you notifications of new messages, regardless of the settings you have selected in iOS. Poor form Valve, I expect better..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Not usefulSeparates chat from the Steam App, but needs voice support to actually be worthwhile..Version: 1.0.12
✓ Can’t even loginNot much kore to say really. Failed to connect to Steam error every time. The main Steam app works but not this one. Using the same account..Version: 1.0.15
