The most native Steemit App out there, both community funded and community developed.
Me and my team want to build the best, most secure, most native, most comfortable application for Steemit together with the Steemit community. We want you to help us make it happen! If you are a frequent user help us test the app if you are a developer help us code new functionality and fix the current bugs. Let's make it!
Please don't forget to vote for @yuriks2000 as a witness to show some love and support for our project!
Constantly working on the SteemApp project finally pays off.
Our team has accomplished what we were aiming for. Our goal was to make an app that is pleasant to use every day. And it is out in beta now!
You will just love using the App
I personally use it 3-5 times a day to read the latest news from the people I follow and I absolutely love it. It is just so much faster, comfortable, and pleasant to read posts with SteemApp than through your browser.
Actual video captured throught the phone:
That is why our team will continue working on the app to make it better and better every week, while constantly adding new functionality. We would love for you and everyone in Steemit to join the private beta testing of the Feed functionality.

Native, Fast, Secure
Our development team has put a lot of work into making this app native (without React Native), fast, and secure. We are always looking for ways to interact with the Steemit blockchain as natively and securely as possible, that is why we build iOS and Android app separately. Even the design and the workflow looks slightly different in order to make it more habitual for iOS and Android users.
I personally find myself very informed about what is happening on the Steemit Blockchain if I open the app at least 2-3 times a day and read my feed page.
FAQ: How secure is the app? Can I trust it?
We have set security as the highest priority. Private key will be kept locally on your device's keychain. This private key will never leave your device in its original form. It will be used for signing posts and will be hashed in a way that it proves that you have it, without actually showing it. We have decided to ask users only for their private posting key, that way you can be sure that your funds are all safe.
FAQ: Is it free?
Yes, absolutely free to use the app as much as you like. Our development team receives 0% from all your posts make through the app. There are no beneficiary rewards, no adds not in-app-purchases at all. This is a community funded mobile application. We are getting our funds only from post upvotes and most importantly your Witness votes.
Next steps
Our next step is to publish it on Github and Utopian-io as an open source project so that everyone can contribute in developing an app that we all love for all Steemians. Additionally, we want to make the code public so that everyone can review the code and see that it is really secure to use. This will happen after testing is finished and we release the new version to Google Play and App Store.
We believe in the power of "open source" and the way it will shape the world together with open blockchain projects. We are looking forward for everyone who is interested to contribute to this project by helping us implement features faster and for testing this app and posting it through Utopian-io.
Feed Functionality on your mobile
Right now you can view your blog, feed, trending page, new, hot, promoted. You can upvote your favorite posts and soon we will make it possible to comment on the posts.
Lifehack
One useful thing I have noticed while testing the app is that Steemit is blocked in Russia, but when you use our SteemApp there is absolutely no problem because it does not directly connect to Steemit.com, our app connects to the Full Steemit Nodes. This way, a blocked domain is not a problem :)) So happy using the app in Russia
What are your plans for SteemApp?
We don't want to stop there. We would like to make the app functional, simple to use and with a good modern design. Here is a list of functionalities we will be working on in later releases after 2.0:
- Ability to add custom beneficiaries for your posts
- Ability to delegate Steem Power through the mobile app
- Make custom footer templates for your posts
- Make and save drafts of your posts for later use

Hello @yuriks2000
I downloaded your application a few weeks ago and it was working perfectly. Right now I can not even open the app on my android device and was wondering what's going wrong. If I tap on the logo it says: "SteemApp stopped" - Really want to join your Beta too.
Looking forward to your answer!
Rob
Rob, just spoke to the devs and they have found the issue which might have caused this both in main release and in beta. Will release the update today. Thanks for speaking up.
Great! Waiting for your update then ! :)
Thank you for your reply @crypto2go and the crash report, we will look into it ASAP.
For now, can you please try to download the beta version: https://steemitapp.com/beta-testing/ and tell us if the problem still persist.
Thanks in advance.
Good. May i ask whether the apps will need me to fill the private key password?
Yes, it will ask you for your posting private key. In any case, your funds are safe if you give only posting key. So no worries there.
thanks but it may not be a good mechanism. Not so many people is willing to provide private key.
@jimmyfotogallery thank you for your reply. Busy.org, dtube, dlive all require private keys, if somebody is not willing to provide them then he can't use these services. So you don't have to, but you might miss out on many things.
looking great! really looking forward to the new version being released.
very beautiful i want to test thanks for share
Excellent, can you send us your email and the platform you are using iOS or Android.
