Steam's new mobile app is much more modern and sleek but something's missing

pcgamer.com:

It's been a long time coming, but Valve has finally made some major updates to the Steam app for Android and iOS, as well the standalone APK(opens in new tab). The changes include improvements to the UI and underlying framework, as well as some cool new features.

«We've completely revamped the Steam Mobile app,» the Steam Google play 'what's new' section reads. «You’ll still be able to browse the store, get Steam Guard codes, and confirm trades—with additions like QR code scanning for PC sign in, smarter notifications, a new Library view with remote downloads, and customizable tabs.»

Users have now been gifted the ability to log into multiple accounts in the mobile app. Another great improvement is the ability to manage device access from your phone, so you can make sure you're not still logged in on your ex-best friend's machine, or in case you get hacked while you're out.

You can also use the app to download Steam games to your PC remotely, so you can have them ready for you when you get home from work. You can even customise the tabs now situated at the bottom of the UI, and personalise which page you see as your homepage.

I've been taking a look at the app myself this morning, and the design changes are startlingly evident. The UI looks a lot better than it did before, and has less of that «we built this in the '90s using HTML» feel. The fact you can now point your phone at your PC and use a QR code to log in, like with Discord and WhatsApp, is such a massive usability win. It's especially useful if, like me, your partner whose machine you intermittently need to log into to share your library is using some obscure keyboard layout(opens in new tab).
