If you don’t know what Steam is, this app
is an awkward way to introduce yourself to it. However, for those who aren’t
aware, Steam is a computer application that retails video games over the web, an
iTunes for video games as it were.
This Steam app lets you access your steam account from your mobile. Even though the games sold in Steam do not perform on the mobile platform, having the mobile app still proves useful.
Inside the Steam system lies a large community. Throughout your usage of Steam, you will hopefully pick up friends in the games you play. The Steam app allows you to talk to the friends you made VIA Steam chat. Steam chat looks, works, and feels similar to iPhone messaging system. If you receive steam messages when you are outside the app, the message will appear like a text message, except that you will be unable to see the message content.
Steam also shows your friends recent game play activity. It’s inspiring to see how much Skyrim my friend manages play during work.
The other main function of the Steam App is the Steam store. As I said before, Steam does not sell games that work on the mobile platform. However, you can still peruse the Steam store and purchase games you desire. Hopefully, this function will assist you in snagging deals you may not have been able to get otherwise. Personally, I love discounts more than the bacon-wrapped sport cars so this is a significant deal to me.
One problem continues to nag me throughout the use of this app on the iPhone. The main menu almost fits every option onto the screen. However, you do have to scroll down to get to the Settings option. But, every time you scroll down to hit the Settings button, the screen bounces back up. It is physically impossible to hit the Settings button. I’ve been attempting for a good part of an hour to access the Settings. I reckon this will be patched as the Android version doesn't have this problem.
To be fair, this won’t be an app for everyone. If you use Steam though, you ought to have this app.
