New iOS update is available that should include latest Android changes and extra few functionalities. Reblogging (or to be Resteem) was recently introduced here on Steemit. Now eSteem also has Reblogging functionality fully supported. This is first update with accessibility features implemented for users who are vision impaired.
What's new
- Re-blogging fully supported
- Push notification now supports multiple devices for same account. Which means if you have multiple mobile devices you can login to each of them and each of them can receive notification. Note: Enable notifications from Settings page of app.
- With request of few users, now eSteem supports Accessibility features for Vision Impaired users. If user's phone has VoiceOver enabled, eSteem will adjust some design so that it is easily accessible and understandable for that users. In future, this will be extended further with requests/feedback of users.
- Performance improvements and bug fixes. Users who were experiencing login issue or unexpected force close issues, please report back if you are able so that we know our improvements worked.
- Few more improvements from here.

Thank you for users who are giving very valuable feedback and feature requests! Keep them coming and improvements keep coming. Please leave review, comments or feedback on Apple iOS AppStore as well.
the vision impaired feature looks to be amazing-thank you for featuring these
thanks, it is for users who uses voice over on their iPhone or iPad. When enabled app works as usual but only some buttons show text so that they can listen what that button does, if not enabled app doesn't show text on buttons which is what you would see as an ordinary user.
You're doing great work gk, I try to use the app as much as possible and have noticed it has become much less buggy and even offers the ability to upload pictures instead of a blank face. I don't see other users pictures but that may be because not everyone is using eSteem. Thank you for your efforts
Hello Justin, thanks you for compliments, appreciate it a lot! As Steem and Steemit improves, eSteem improves along with them and hope to bring more stability and features for community and users. Yes possibly not many uploaded profile pictures, but that will change in due time. There are some users already have profile pictures though you might find it once in a while... Let me know if you would like to see some part improved ;-)
I have been thinking that it would be great to integrate the steemitchat if it were possible.
Steem already have private messaging functionality implemented, but not utilized it yet. Soon I think we will see some work on this part. Meanwhile, I am doing few test on back-end as well. So be assured that it will come... I will look into rocket.chat integration, but there is already rocket.chat mobile app for that though...
Good work man! Would be awesome if clicking an alert would take you to the persons profile. Or even better, a feed of alerts from the past x days.
Keep up the good work!
I guess just when someone follows you.
Thanks again!
You are right, follow or unfollow doesn't take you in any page. It only notifies you, I guess it makes sense to take user to that profile. Will include this in upcoming version, thanks! ;-)
Awesome thanks!
Thanks for comment! Notifications alert takes you to the post or comment, already. Which notification alert would you prefer should take you to profile page?
Thanks heaps @good-karma for making all these changes and improvements. Really keen to try it out soon. Will let you know how I go with it.
Keep up the great work!
Was a confirmation window added to the flagging operation? I'm hesitant to use the app right now if I might accidentally flag someone (as I did to myself the last time I used it).
Thanks Luke, yes it was added in previous version. Reblogging also has confirmation as it is irreversible. Check it out, a lot more improvements... In fact bugs are fixed you should be able to undo your upvote and down vote without problem.
Nice app - I like using it.
Thanks, glad you like it! :-) Let me know if you have any suggestions or issues!
Cool Updates!
Thanks!
Not yet in my store, but I'll report after the update filters down to me. Thank you for your hard work!
App should show version on bottom of sidemenu 1.2.4, if it is 1.2.3 then probably yes Apple servers might be crawling update to all servers, give it few hours and check AppStore again. Thanks
The appstore itself shows 1.2.3 from 19 of September. Hopefully I'll see it later today.
Good to know thanks! Hope you well get it in a few hours ;-)
It finaly filtered down to my app store, but several days ago I updated to iOS 10, which finally allowed me to login, even without this update. I'll check out this update, and report how it works.
