For some reason this thread was closed a while ago, but thanks to cg it's been reopened and updated (as of 30.08.2012).

Hi SG Community,

This is the official thread of the SteamGifts Android app created and maintained by myself.

Click here to go to the SteamGifts app page on Google Play.

Three things I would like to point out beforehand:

  • Your Steam account details will be entered ONLY on the official Steam page. The app will use your built-in browser to take you to the Steam page where you will enter your Steam account details and return you to the app after authorization.

  • On your first time, SteamGuard will require you to enter the code sent to your email. If the SteamGuard dialog is not visible at first, just scroll down until you see it and enter the received code.

  • The options menu is your best friend. Use the options button on your phone to unlock the most out of the app's functionalities while navigating throughout the pages.

Thank you and feel free to also leave feedback, criticism or any other comments.

Was going to download it, but then I saw that it has the same problem as the other one, there is no forum tab or way to put comments on giveaways.

I really think that this should be worked out, I'd use the app for quicker use of the forum and so on, instead of just joining giveaways.

A button to spam "thanks" would be nice start.

It supports Android 1.6+, so yes, ICS should be no problem.

I like it that you tag new and group giveaways. I also like that the pics are not that low res as the other sg app (although it does take more time to load). I like the theme of colors too. Add ability to add comments and view the forum and it will be perfect! Keep it up!

ps: I also see that you have implemented a suggestion I had made to ronzano for being able to see private giveaways giving 5 chars ;)

I have a suggestion for you too then, add filters like "new" and "group"

ps2: when reporting, then the option button after the report has been made should change to Cancel Report :P

Also showing the number of copies would be nice. Could add it on top of the image for example (x2)

Thanks for the suggestions, I added them on my TODO list. Let's see what I can do.

^ tragikos is correct. I will look into not hiding that progress bar too fast though.

I have the same problem. And even after waiting for more than an hour it just stays white and nothing happens. Either my phone is really the piece of *@&%! I think it is or... well, I actually have no idea. I would love to try the app, but I can't since I'm not able to log in. :(

Heeeere you go - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vb6z6y6tdbd3pt5

If you have a better file host suggestion, let me know.

Mediafire or Dropbox is definitely better.

Dropbox lets you sync quickly between computers/OS's and mobile devices. Limited to 2GB, but no ads or download timers.

Mediafire is unlimited but deletes files after a while, a year with no downloads I think, and served by ads.

Version 1.1 is out!

What's new:

  • Number of copies of each giveaway is now shown in the giveaways list

  • Filter out giveaways by All, New or Group giveaways in the giveaways list

  • Fixed the bug where the "Report" menu option didn't update itself to "Cancel report"

  • Changed Report icon

  • Fixed a bug where owned games were hidden even if you weren't logged in

  • Show Won Giveaways is now set via the options menu in the entries page by using the new filter option

  • Renamed 'Group Giveaway' prefix to 'Group' because it took too much space

Visit the Google Play page
