What is SteemApp?

SteemApp is a completely free mobile application for iOS an Android currently in the App Store and Google Play with slick design and comfortable UI and UX. You can read full article about the released version here

In the current 1.0 version you can publish your posts on Steemit with SteemApp, and our devs are hard at work to make new functionality in version 2.0. Right now they are working on Feed functionality and we are thrilled that it is more than 60% complete! I really can't wait to use this app every day!

We are expecting the update SteemApp 2.0 to come out somewhere in 2 weeks. We are happy to see the development going well for both iOS and Android. They are expected to come out at the same time.

What we are doing for Steemit?

Helping minnows - we currently have a Discord channel where minnows can get their post promoted an curated. We usually upvote 5-20 well written posts daily submitted by our followers. With every upvote we provide guidance on ways to improve the post. Right now there are a lot of people from Indonesia and Argentina who write well written posts, which don't receive a lot of support by the Steemit community. We try to change that, and with more Steem Power from being a witness we can help even more people.

Build applications on Steemit - After making a good version of SteemApp for our loved Steemians we would like to continue making application based on Steemit blockchain. For example, our friend Hive account@darrenclaxton is a song writer and he wants to be able to sell his songs online through Steemit with a click of a button. That is a very great idea and we want to help him achieve this.

Attract new users - applications such as SteemApp, Dtube, Dlive Steemit build on top of Steemit will help to attract more traffic and more users to the ecosystem. That is our goal and we want to make more valuable apps for our fellow community.

Easy sign up with mobile - we have an idea how we can make Sign up process much easier with mobile phone. In-app-purchases will help us to register users faster. New users will have an option to either Sign up for free like it is already done in Steemit and to register for an account for $1 through us. Of course we will need a lot of Steem Power to delegate to new users for at least a month. That is why we are planning to make this available after we become to 20 Witness. With the community support we believe that this is very easily achievable.
