Their couldn't have been, Valve never and still Havant released an API to allow chat. Only way anyone could do it.

Is it only me, or does the UI look very iOSesque? For example; I assume the top left button with three lines opens a menu, while Android already have a dedicated menu button...

Yes, the top left button does open a menu and using the menu button opens the exact same menu.

hey not bad! that will makes thing a lot easier if there is a great deal on steam that is
just about to expire and I only have my phone on me

Also: have you tried purchasing anything yet? if yes, does it have all the kinks that normal steam has (gifint options and the such)?

Also real smooth on my iPod Touch 4th gen (Same CPU as iPhone 4) and iPad 2 (although its only an upscaled version)

It's NOT compatible to iPhone 3g apparently although i can't verify that.

When someone gets into the beta from steam they are given an invite to give to someone else. Thats how I got in.

All you have to do is download the app and try to log in. If you aren't already in the beta then you'll be signed up for an invite.

I don't see a reason for this, but I myself don't use steam as a chat service you know I use it to play games. Weird I know.

its really a pain to buy something from steam through your phones browser. Had the case when I was far away from any desktop pc I would trust to enter my password in. A great deal was just about to expire and it took almost 20 minutes to buy the game because of the authentification code they send you via e-mail if you logg on from a new device.

this would make things easier

Personally my favorite part of it is the ability to use chat. I communicate with most of my friends exclusively through Steam chat and so this provides a nice way to do that when I'm away from my computer.

Of course the most important question remains: Can you voice chat?

Download the app, Log in and then it will come up with a message saying that you have been entered into the list for invites. And you may get an invite any time soon (Invite attaches onto your account and lets you in either android or IOS)

I've done that, hoping to get one sooner rather than later from some nice guy on here :)

I signed up today and know I'm waiting for an beta invite.

I'm really looking forward to accessing my steam account from my phone, whenever I'm not on my computer, without it being a pain in the butt with my normal phone browser.

Thanks Kennyist for sharing the information with us :)

I have no idea :/ Was given a spare invite by a friend. Came by steam gift service like a game would.

It just appeares in your library and you get a notification box, the way the new deals usually are shown when you leave a game or when you get a gift.

And you can buy using your phone's credit ? This would be interesting.

No, you can't, you can pay with everything you can use on steam normally though.

As I pointed out in the other thread, the Steam page has a pretty big error on it. Unless Skyrim went cross-platform and is only $14.99 on the app. In which case: Do Want.

And yes, i insist.

"You're getting screenshot!" Is perfectly fine. What else would be the past tense?

I wish they would have said you needed to be in the beta on the iOS store page. I was disappointed.

By downloading and logging into the app, your account is flagged for beta access when they start inviting more people

I got invited overnight and the app is alright and you get an extra invite. If you can't stay away from your steam friends and want an official application then it's great. Other than that I don't see it's purpose of buying games while away unless you can't make it to a computer within the sale. I would like one feature added though if you buy a game from your phone it automatically downloads on your PC.

Is anyone using the Apple version able to find out if you can use apple account store credit to purchase stuff? I got a $50 credit as a gift and once I activated it found out that there is nothing on their store that interests me.

ETD stated above that only the same methods of purchase can be used on phone as on PC.

Just so you know, referral links would likely get you banned here. You'd better edit that out.
