Steam Chat

Steam never ever issues refunds, even if the app/game never opens. This directly violates Australian consumer law but they don't care.

Literally no reason for this to be separate from the steam app. Very frustrating and unintuitive software bloat

Who thought of separating the chat from the main app and think opening 2 apps at a time is a good user experience? Bring back the old app where everything is there. I wanna browse the store and trash-talk my mates without switching to different apps every single time.

So I guess valve just really really don’t want us to be using Steam as a social hub. That’s the only reasoning I can come up with for this unreliable garbage.

Why separate this from the main app this is Facebook level of stupidity, just give me one good reason why this is adding an extra level of annoyance. And there’s no good reason I can think of doing this just add it back to the main app and get rid of this abomination.

A few years ago my steam chat stopped sending push notifications regardless of settings in app or iPhone. Regular steam app sends them fine for reminders about sales etc. What's worse is friend status doesn't update/refresh for about 30 seconds after opening app. It shows their cached, previous status from last time the app was open hours ago! If i notice a new message received (only indication is the red circle on the app icon,) opening the app won't show any new message for half a minute too it'll pretend there aren't any. Pull down to refresh doesn't fix, force close/swipe up sometimes improves load speed. Issues encountered over multiple devices, none of my last few iPhones have worked. Known issues with no fix found when you google "steam app lag" or "refresh."

Never get notifications on the app & my messages rarely send through without an error popping up. Very frustrating when it use to work fine in the steam app!

Often bugged and wouldn’t let me connect, wouldn’t send messages. Then it stopped giving me notifications when I received messages, but I’d still get the little red marker on the app on my homepage. Now the app doesn’t even do that anymore lol. What’s the point of a chatting app that doesn’t have basic features?

i don't understand how this is so bad. steam messaging works fine on pc. for some bizarre reason, on this app, i don't receive any notifications (despite turning them on) and i have to check the app constantly for new messages. despite that, i still just don't get messages. i'll open the homepage, it doesn't show new messages. i'll open a text convo, there will be no new messages. then, i'll check like 4 hours later, and turns out i got a message five hour before! seriously? why didn't it show up as a notification? or when i opened the app? OR WHEN I OPENED THE CONVERSATION??? ridiculous, how do you mess up this bad?
