Meet our fresh update with lots of UI improvements and new functions. We've reworked some buttons, added battery with voting power to footer so you can always be aware of your current charge, added ability to edit old posts after payout and many more.
Voting Power
Now it's always in control. You can find new battery icon in the bottom left corner of the app. It updates everytime you are using your voting power by upvoting or flagging any post or comment. You may be same behaviour user as our team mates who was asking us to add this feature. People do usually wait until the battery charge for 100% and then starting their sharing rewarding trip into their friends feed. When you feel finally I can reward people you may become a bit too fanatic in upvoting if you are not seeing your current voting power. It drains too fast and each and every next vote will give less rewards to others untill you will recharge your battery again. So here you are.
Editing old posts
Steem team added a new commit finally enabling ability to edit old posts after the post payout lockdown. So now you can edit even something you wrote 7 days ago. This is very handy. We had an issue with our team mate @dunsky recently. He posted one of the stories about his commercial illustration order and after 4 months his client asked him to edit/remove some private information/image from the post. That time we had to use some hack to edit the post and was testing this function in Surfer as well. It was too unstable to add it in release those days but now it's ready and officially came out. Soon you will see same on steemit.com and other clients as well.
Notifications
We have added much needed notifications popup window similar to well known social networks. This is intuitive and handy for millions of users across the globe using different applications. Hopefully you will find it usefull in Surfer as well.
Drafts and Schedules visual tweaks
Drafts and Schedules are looking much similar to your profile or friends feed now. They have post image covers and you can see how they will look in the feed after posting. These images will help you to find proper drafts faster visually.
What is eSteem Surfer
In case you are seeing my blog for the first time...
It's a desktop client you can use on Windows, Mac or Linux to surf your steem friends feed/trending/hot/etc pages, upvote, comment, read replies, do all the other major Steem related stuff in your daily social surfing as well as wallet actions and of course few extras: search, discover different tags etc.

Man you are simply amazing, I would request Steemians to please vote for @good-karma as a witness coz he deserves it.
Thanks
Confirmed!!
The eSteem Surfer is a great addition to our Steem tools. It is the best reader/browser for Steem so far. It is so good we can nearly do everything without ever touching a browser. Thanks for this amazing work.
For one of the next iterations it would be great to get a delegation feature.
Delegation is already implemented, please check Wallet page and there is Vesting section that includes Powering down, Power up and Delegating portion of your power. You can even see who you delegated to by clicking on Delegated SP... We will do eSteem Surfer Tips on that soon.
First of all let me say thank you for the new update. I love it. I have a question and I hope someone can answer it. I'm uploading a screenshot which has two arrows marking thwo small circles, one with a dot in the middle, the other is empty. Can anyone tell me what is that about?
Nice catch and good eye :) It is an indicator for read/unread posts
Thank you! I wouldn't have guessed, ever 😋
From now on I will remove the esteem app from my Android, already 1 month I always post via esteem but no response from @ good-karma, thanks.
I bring new content and new people to steemit community , I help the Israeli community to grow .
we will appreciate your support in minnows.

Great day ,
@saarinout
Off course they use esteem , and me also.
We need to keep our new blogers.
I've voted you as a witness.
Awesome job! Boy, your Mac app is fast! Articles load instantly - this is nothing I'm used to with other apps. I'm excited! Thank you!!
@good-karma I'm still amazed by your app and I'm deeply in love!
Just one quick thing: I'm used to swipe with 3 fingers to the left to scroll back one page in a browser.
Is there any chance to make this possible in the app too?
Super! I might just go and edit typos in old posts :D
Also, battery power idea is kickass! Love it :)
And notifications 🎉👏🏽
Upvoted 100% thanks to @fyrst-witness, @fyrstikken, @booster team - awesome software that we use every day!
Thank you, appreciate the support!
The thing I really love in this update is Draft posts image covers. It will made my Steem life much easier preparing different posts. Thank you so much for contribution!
I'm so glad the esteem condensers added this, editing after seven days should be possible, especially it comes handy in making contents immortal on the blockchain
Sleek! I just started using this app and I keep feeling like a boss each time I am making post from it. Very user friendly and aesthetically appealing. To top it, you get free upvote just by making post through the platform. Too good to be true but it is 100% true. Kudos to the team
I don't normally use esteem, but once I buy my new phone, i may think about downloading the App.. I tend to use Steemit on desktop (even use desktop site on mobile), or Busy (of course Steepshot, and D.Tube). Looks good, I'm liking the improvements.
Give the awesome apps(mobile/pc) a try, you would love it more than any
how are the rewards distributed? is it similar to how D.Tube gives Steem as an extra reward?
rewards is simalr for all apps on Steem blockchain!
They have post picture spreads and you can perceive how they will look in the feed in the wake of posting. These pictures will assist you with finding appropriate drafts quicker outwardly.
You might know about this one. Every time I post a comment, my app is frozen and I have to restart esteem. Could just be an user error too. Ack!
I'm sure you are talking about the Mobile app! update will be released soon, sorry for the inconvenience
No worries at all. Appreciate all the work you guys do. Just thought I’d share so it can be improved for everyone.
Are you talking about eSteem Surfer (version for PC/Mac) or eSteem Mobile for smartphones? What is your application version?
Thank you very much @good-karma I really like the power battery footer...and also the other new features. I love posting through esteemapp on my desktop. Kudos to you sir and all your team!
Looks great!! Thanks for the updates, i really like the edit past post feature. Have a great day.
:0)*
is there any option to get notifications in our feed ?
you will get push notifications if you enable it in settings
Go ahead @esteeem
Love you @good-karma
This posting is awesome, thank you to @good-karma
Thanks for this! I've checked on the play store but the update for esteem mobile is not yet available.
Great post I really like this
This update makes me eager to write in this app
Very excited to see new update
important content! thank you for publishing it!
I would be the first to use this..
Thanks much sir @good-karma hhmm I hope you'll add the FIND feature, its different from the search box that is already included since the start. Adding FIND is much easier to find a certain key word that is used or being mentioned in the post just like the chrome browser when you click windows+F on your keyboard it will allow you to find a word on the field where you at.
God Bless
There were a lot of requests for this feature recently and we are working to implement it. So expect it in one of the nearests updates :) Thank you for your comment!
wow! big thanks to you guys..
Ohh new interface is looking awesome and different from last one..
I'm excited to use this new interface..
Thanks @good-karma for making Steemit as better platform for us as well as for our next generation.. I hope there are lots of new features in pending. And we can see some more features on Steemit in next one or two years..
I posted a blog about those features which are missing on Steemit as compare to centralized platform like Facebook, twitter or Instagram..

Just installed it on Linux.... awesome!
Let us know how it works on Linux, which distro are you using?
Mint 18. No issues so far. But I didn't test everything.
Thank you for sharing, although I think that my PC is no longer a glove, this type of programs I will review to see, regards and my regards.
eSteem on! Hello sir im a newbie on this platform and less knowledge on new tech, but im really willing to learn so that i can support my family. Thank you @good-karma 😁. May God bless you always!
Thank you good-karma
Great post Sir @good-karma, i remember last week you have released eSteem Surfer 1.0.8 but today, for next improvements E.S 1.0.9 has release. That great and hard work for 1 week. I want write translations (indonesian) if i got the permit from from you. Many thanks
Dear Sir @good-karma I personally congratulate you for your uninterrupted round the clock efforts of making @esteemapp very interesting and full of new opportunities and it's a reward for the believers of our dear Sir @good-karma
Thank you good-karma
thank you very much @good-karma, notice from you so additional science!
Increase the career of surfer #Fefer hopefully all the steemian can use #esteem surfer maximally with guidance #EFA
I'm going to have to see how well this functions for those using screen reading software. So far I've not been able to experience the features very optimally.
Will update it soon and to be honest I liked the notification part it looks pretty cool and is indeed a nice update !
Yes, notifications now has numbers on bell icon, easy to track how many activities you haven't seen yet. We are working to improve this section even more, stay tuned! :)
I love that esteem team keeps improving the application regularly.
Thank you for your hard work!
-upvoted-
@good-karma.saya sangat butuh dukungan anda.
Terima kasih @good-karma
Hello @good-karma, your continuous efforts here is highly appreciated, hope to see IOS version of surfer 🏄 soon.
We are working on eSteem Mobile improvements as well :)
This is an awesome update! I love the app already and now it's even better! I'm still new so I didn't know you're a witness, but I'll give you a vore 'cause I can see you're helping the community!
Keep doing that, I respect that A LOT!
Excelente información, y la manera de desarrollar el post esta genial!
Thank You so much! just what I need to optimize my curation experience using eSteem Surfer, and I love the notification bell now, instead of the ball, now I can see the number, can you make the same thing for eSteemApp too?
Wow, really want to try it. Continue to bend forward and expand to be the best, bravo eSteem. and eSteem, you'r is the best
Lovely application this is. Very easy to use and the update is just unparalleled. I will install this on my mac. Thanks for sharing. Really appreciatable efforts and works from you @good-karma.
Thanks for information sir @good-karma
Thank you! I wait for updates every time and they come with very nice surprises!
Great changes. I like these, especially the power battery. Maybe next iteration you can add a voting power scale like Busy has so users can change the percentage of upvotes they give from inside the app.
Good post @good -karma.
Thanks ..
