Why I choose Steam mobile?
I think Steam Mobile needs UI design update. It has old UI and all features on the web app. Steam mobile app allows you to buy games and socializing with friends. Steam has almost 15 million active users and they can use mobile app for buying but can’t chat with their friends. Steam Chat is a different app for only chatting. I decided to analyze in detail what could be revised and to propose a redesign concept.
Problems
There were lots of bugs and issues. Users want user interface update and noticed that the interface is outdated. the UX is bad. Some users say the back button or menu button is not functional.
1- Current UI is outdated and the UX is bad.
2- Move away from web app, brings native app styles.
3- Fix bugs and issues.

Steam’s current iOS app:
Sketches & Information architecture
Once I understood the issues I wanted to fix on the Steam UX, I started to do low-fidelity mockups.
