  • RogueCmdr RogueCmdr (TTV & YT) (@RogueCmdr) reported

    Ive open a @Steam support ticket and got a ZERO help or accountbility response. Not a karen but I do expect some type of ownership, bias for action, or customer obsession for customer service.. leadership principals most companies ahere to

  • v09kd1 v09kd1 (@v09kd1) reported

    @Steam After the update, why did the chat interface on the mobile phone end be turned off. There are some special issues in my region that do not allow access to the chat through a browser.

  • garethterrace Gareth Terrace (@garethterrace) reported

    @Steam Scrolling is all kinds of broken on my Pixel 5. It scrolls the wrong way!

  • osmolintu Osmo (@osmolintu) reported

    @Steam why i need to press a BUTTON TO USE MY STEAM GUARD CODE EVERYTIME I WANT TO LOGIN AND WHY THE " REMEMBER ME" IS ALWAYS ON. why u cant make a theme thing to put the new theme on and off. and also its slower than the old one. + i want the android steam guard widget back

  • srsholmes Simon Holmes (@srsholmes) reported

    @Steam The performance of this app is really not good (Galaxy S20). Inertia scrolling is completely broken and it scrolls the wrong way. I think you need to do some testing on actual devices, rather than simulators. It's a shame. Apps like this give react native a bad name. 😕

  • maggiedoll16 maggiedoll (@maggiedoll16) reported

    @BurningPixel @Steam @GabeLNewell Message phantom_tremor on Instagram he's going to help you asap I had similar issues I was scammed through PayPal but he helped me get refunded.

    @Steam Hey Steam. What's the problem with getting the deck to Switzerland? I'll keep pestering till i get a decent answer. Much love <3

  • slezyorla slezyorla (@slezyorla) reported

    @Steam The app was good before because it was just a perfect copy of PC Steam. Sure sometimes things got cut off and you couldnt read object descriptions while browsing the inventory or market but this is just a downgrade. 'login with just one touch' wow such safety so secure god dayum

  • eni_74 Yago (@eni_74) reported

    @Steam I just opened today my SteamDeck after almost 7months waiting...Right joystick doesn't work, not just drifting but doesn't recognize the x-axis. I tried everything to fix it but no luck, honestly I was expecting more for a product that expensive..what should I do now?

    I don't think anyone want @Steam chat on steam mobile app to be separate app. bring back chat feature on steam mobile app, and btw, I think you forgot to add activity page on the app / it's not working when I click friend activity, it open steam discussion, not activity page.

    @Steam It's a shame that after the update I can't even login...

  • n1ck2811 n1ck28 (@n1ck2811) reported

    Hey @Steam @valvesoftware Why do I need to install another application or login in the browser to send a message to friends in your new mobile client, is it a joke? P.S. Don't forget to support Ukraine!

  • adri_verster Adri Verster © (@adri_verster) reported

    @Steam Can you please remove this feature on desktop? IT IS NOT WORKING OUT. I joined Steam to play games, not spend hours looking for bug fixes on the forum. Why do I get signed out mid-game? It would be OK if it accepted my password but it doesn't.
