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.

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

Image Source
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.

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
