Valve updates the Steam for Android app with a new UI and much more

Valve has finally updated the Steam for Android app, which has leaped from v1.1 right up to v2.0. The new Steam for Android app includes a totally revamped UI, something that Valve is calling "material".

The navigation drawer, according to Android Police, has "been completely rearranged in this update, and now includes links to your intentory, library, and additional app settings like disconnecting from the chat". Valve adds that it has fixed up background battery drain and the weird spontaneous login issues that many gamers were used to. The changelog for the app includes:

• Changing from one screen to another is faster
• Will not use battery when it is inactive
• Will not log in unexpectedly
• If possible, when resumed, the application will return to the screen it was on
• Startup screen can be set
• Chat history from other devices is available
• Chat history for offline friends is available
• Navigation menu has links to Inventory, Library, going offline for chat and logging out
• Material design, higher res images, simplified settings, faster on older devices
• Other fixes

You can grab Steam for Android from the Google Play store, or grab it from APK Mirror.
