Today I'll be reviewing one of my favorite dApp built on the Steem blockchain, eSteem. Esteem App is one of my favorite means of accessing the steemit platform - eSteem is a social application where you get paid for creating original content, commenting and curating. There has been a series of improvement on the platform.
The platform is about to release its latest version known as eSteem V2, but it's already out on Google PlayStore for download, over 1k anticipated users have downloaded it. Ensure to be one of the early testers of this new release, the platform promises improved performance and some few changes. Please check HERE blog.esteem.ws to learn more about the new release.
Esteem surfer was created a few months after the eSteem Mobile App was created. This model has been improved, much better than the mobile app. I was privileged to be an early user of the mobile app, although the app looked promising, most of the time I experienced slacking, and some glitches as well. All these inconveniences made me take a break until I discovered the new version (eSteem surfer) which is not so perfect though, but it's way better than the former. Here are few features of the Esteem surfer.
Some features of eSteem:
There are so many unique features of the eSteem but we are going to take a few of them.
Simple User Interface (UI):
The User Interface design of any website or App plays a vital role in creating a high volume of traffic to the product. A good User Interface doesn't just increase the usability of its users, but it promotes the smooth completion of any task at a particular time, thereby making it enjoyable and flexible based on the requirements of users.
The eSteem surfer has a simple and user-friendly interface. That gives its users the experience they desire. The platform retains the typical steemit.com look, but has some extra features, like the "token exchange and discover" links.
Security consciousness:
The eSteem platform is a client for the STEEM blockchain which is a blockchain-oriented platform. The platform leverages on the decentralized power of the blockchain system, Instead of uploading data of users to a cloud server or preserving it in a particular location, the blockchain breaks all data into smaller chunks and allocates them across the various networks of computers. So users can rest assured knowing that their information is safe from external interference. Your account details are safe because of the decentralized model of distribution with the blockchain. This brings us to our next point, which is;
Password protected:
Since the eSteem platform recognized the significance of its user privacy, the eSteem surfer has been furnished with a password that protects every user's account from being hacked but cyber-hackers.
Multiple Login Ability:
Esteem is one unique dApp that gives its users the opportunity to log in to multiple accounts and manage them accurately. Steemit users with multiple usernames/accounts have the ability to freely and easily switch between their multi-accounts and manage the activities on each account.
Using Your Wallet:
Esteem allows users to freely access their wallet and the platform also gives users the steemit experience via this app. One very unique thing about this wallet App is the fact that you can change the currency in your wallet, for users to be able to view the estimated value of their payout given the current transfer rate of your country's currency.
In conclusion
Apart from the fact that the eSteem app crashes constantly, forcing me to start over again, sometimes it becomes so slow. Being the first STEEMIT app for iOS, eSTEEM is very comfortable for use. But, it can be better and it will be.
Check out eSTEEM for iOS on the App Store and Google PlayStore.
