Official Steam app for iOS and Android

So, now I have "Steam Mobile" in my Steam Items, along with all the useless coupons from the Xmas sale. Hmmmm.

EDIT: Apparently I'm in the beta now, it works on my phone

EDIT2: It gives you one invite to use. Sent to ukick for testing

Yeah, there are a lot of 'Steam' apps on the store. Following the link from the OP is probably the most ideal method of getting the right one.

Yup I got into the beta as well and sent my invite over to ThinJ. Some screenshots of the iOS version:

It seems pretty slick so far. Gonna mess around with it a bit more.

So how do you know if you are in the beta? Do you get notified or does it just start working?

I saw BrainHz post and just tried logging in

But if you hop on Steam it notifies you in that popup promo window.

I'm at work so don't have my steam handy. Ah well. No biggie, I can wait.

It's something that is in your inventory? So you need to activate it from Steam?

I'm in the current Steam Beta. The enveloppe icon had changed, thought it was that.

@BNice, from that chat screenshot, are users who have received the beta invitation from Valve able to invite others into the beta?

On a related note, why don't any of tags work for me? I tried using

and IMAGE() but when I preview the post, everything shows up as just text. Sorry if the answer is obvious, new to the to forums here.

hehe, It's your title, just stick around, and post. When you are out of "Coffee Grinder" your quotes will be available.

It's not something in your inventory, just try logging on in the app.

Yeah, if you are in the beta you can invite one person (there will be an invite in your Steam inventory). The tags don't work for new posters but if you continue to post eventually you can use them. Oh and welcome

Ah I see, cheers. I shall stick around!

Well, Brainz send it was in his inventory...

I have tried logging, nothing yet, we will see.

Pics of the IOS version...

Sweet, so there is a purchase option! I hope it is able to remain in there for the full release. I downloaded the client and am hoping to get in the beta.

That turned out to be the extra invite that I sent to ukick. I never got an official indication from Valve that I was in the beta, I just happened to notice the invite in my inventory and tried logging in again to see what would happen.

Oh, that's nice then. Sorry about that.

Bah, I guess I'm on the list but nothing for me yet. Damn you Valve! *shakes fist*

Wait. You can request a beta invite from the app itself? Where is that option?

Just try to log in. It'll give you an error, and say that your interest has been noted and you've been added to the beta list.

Installed and tried to log in last night. I hope the beta isn't too long. I really want to be able to do Steam chat on my phone. I mean... Steam [em]is[/em] kind of my primary IM system. >_>

I am looking forward to the beta letting me in too.

If anyone has a spare invite I would gladly take it off your hands.

Thank goodness. I remember always wondering why they didn't have an app during the Christmas sale.

Never again will visiting family for the holidays stop us from buying games!

We're doomed. For now, that is, more and more of us will gradually become doomed as the beta invites trickle out.

Boogle is never going to have sex.

Just got in. Looks like a well made app.

Do you get notified when you're in?

There was no email, but when I signed into Steam I was told I had a new item in my inventory which turned out to be an extra invite for the beta. Since there was no way to redeem it I realized it was just an extra and I was already in.

I just checked and I can log in now. Not sure you really need an invite at this point?

I just tried and it said I'm not in the beta.

I'm also not in. Yet.

I just tried to log in on the IOS version and got:
