bSteem is a new mobile app to access the Steem blockchain here.
It's made by user: @jm90mm.
You can use the app to create, curate and post content to the steem blockchain on your phone (iOS and Android).
For a first release, it already has a lot of features. You can read about all of it here and here.
I gave it a go this morning with my test account, posting and commenting, and works really nice.
I especially like the editor.
Three screenshots from the app
The app uses Steemconnect and charges no beneficiary rewards on content created.
I talk about it more in my vlog. (from @2:16)
I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.
We build Steemify a notification app for your Steemit account for iOS.

Thanks for the review! bSteem's goal is to push technology advancement forward, I do not care about money. I want to make the best mobile app for steem. I even tweeted to @ned about it here
If we want steem to go mainstream, we need to stop focusing on apps that make a quick profit!
I want to note that bSteem will never store or hold any of your private keys, all authentication is done via steemconnect. No private information related to private keys is ever stored on bSteem.
Leaving comments asking for votes, follows, or other self promotional messages could be seen as spam.

Thank You! ⚜
My steemconnect never loads! It says website not found!
What device are you using ?
A laptop. I have looked into it today. It seems that when I click a link from a steemit post with the steemconnect address it says error page not found.
I log into steem connect manually and it works ok i think..
A place where i can download apps for steemit?
I personally dont see any need to log in through any app especially if this app does not give any extra feature. Even if the app does not store your keays and even if it uses steemconnect !! since it is only an interface that lets you access your steemit account then why not having a shortcut of the official steemit on your smartphone hom screen as explained hereafter. I am using it and i can edit posts, write comments, add images, and do anything without the use of any 3rd party app !!
I had created a shortcut to steemit on my smartphone. It is a direct link to steemit website automatically resized to fit the smartphone screen. Anyone can shortcut steemit on his/her smartphone and logging in directly through the official steemit page. Open CHROME and log in your steemit account then hit the option buttons on the top right (the 3 dots) and tap add to home screen and you are done. below a screenshot of steemit logo (the shortcut of steemit on my home screen)
wow! this is amazing, another third party app to make steemit more efficient, thanks to all developers who made bsteem is another accomplishment in our community. :)
Well as time is going by many more developed apps are gonna arrive out in here :)
It is indeed good that we now got bSteem ,great work done by @jm90mm
Hope it gets the recognition it is suppose to get :)
I think it's hard to wait sometime for buying! Happy Gainz!
bSteem App looks cool with a good user-friendly design ... Thanks @exyle for sharing about it!
It’s great to know there are more options to use steemit on different apps. There actually is not much. However, I don’t like to share my any key with third party apps. That’s what I love about Steemify. You don’t have use your keys the use it. You can get notifications and use Steemit directly. Anyway, thanks for this informative post.
Steemify doesn’t ask you Coz you need only notifications from them, but if you click on the post ( subject of notification) , and try to edit something or vote or any ( they will ask you to log in with your private key too .
Notification vs posting or voting options is the key difference between steem dapps that ask for keys. But generally as @exyle said above steemconnect is made to be safe ( and will encrypt your keys before steem dapps connect to you.
However, not all dapps are safe 100% .. dapps will not have your key but have the permission already to do what is to be done by a key.
So, better to power up most of your steem assets.. leaving very little steem or SBD not powered.. and never use your master key .. use posting or by far active key.. so if something wrong happened, hacking you account so to say, hacker needs long weeks to power down ( and will not be able to withdraw) .. meanwhile you would use your master key to log in and change it which will immediately change all your other keys and hacker cannot steel your funds.
That’s to the best of my knowledge .. and I wish if something wrong anyone to enlighten us more !
Cheers 🥂
@milano1113
I agree! You have a great point to power up all you have. I did mention that I use Steemify for notifications only and to do everything else I use steemit directly. But as I mentioned, you have a great point.

I had created a shortcut to steemit on my smartphone. It is a direct link to steemit website automatically resized to fit the smartphone screen.

Open CHROME and log in your steemit account then hit the option buttons on the top right (the 3 dots) and tap add to home screen and you are done. below a screenshot of steemit logo (the shortcut of steemit on my home screen)
Is there any added danger to logging in to these different apps with our password?

thanks for the advice works a treat
most welcome !! I always try to find a way to avoid using keys and passwords on apps developped by other people is i do not know them and cannot trust them !! at the end some apps are just useless and do not give any value added to the service provided. So just limiting the risks !!
Steemconnect will use your active key. Which when compromised can transfer liquid funds from your account.
I consider Steemconnect safe, but I can't 100% guarantee it.
I never use my master key with steem connect so in case something bad would happen I can always change the keys.
There always is
Nice! I haven't been able to get eSteem to work for me and I've tried everything. So this should be a fantastic little app to try out. Thanks for giving it your thumbs up and quick review.
As for your format, I have a few followers that entrust in me an 'auto upvote' when I create new content and I always think of them when I'm about to press publish on anything....
It's a debate within me, do I create the content when I feel the inspiration or will that be abusing the trust they have in upvoting me once a day on my 'regular schedule'....Because there are SOOO many cool things to create with on the blockchain.
Guess it's a good problem to have :)

Yeah, I guess it's a luxury problem indeed :)
I personally used bSteem few Days ago and considering that how new this application the features that it provides are really impressive.
@exyle,
The good news is it's using STEEMCONNECT! Anyway not 100% secured, but yeah a good solution for the security wise! I will try to test this app! Thank you!
Cheers~

Did you notice any differences between bSteem and esteem @exyle? It sounds like adding images easier.
I might try one or other of them at the weekend at Steemfest although it takes me so long to post on my phone I might end up missing what else is going on! 😂
Yeah, there are. Try them both and see what you like!
That looks really nice, I wonder how it compares to Esteem..
Only one way to find out! :)
Awesome again to experience spring vicariously! It is sunny here too. And, there are birds singing 'when will the snow melt!!' Haha 😁 Happy packing! Enjoy your day too!!
The app seem to be awesome had to try this one out thanks for sharing about it
I love that you’re part of the Steemify and still promote and share new apps. Downloading bSteem now to try it our. With you on the pains of this slow market. I have a lot of things I need to pay for and I’m resisting the urge to sell crypto, however....I’m not sure if it’s really low enough to make another buy. Sort of right in the middle where I can’t do either.
I hope you like the app.
Personally, I believe the value of the blockchain goes up with the amount of development and users. I, therefore, believe promoting any development is very important.
Thanks for the info. I Just installed bsteem. Now learn to use it.
Thanks for sharing this video.I appreacted with you.
Bsteem alright I'm gonna download it right now and check out how cool it will be for me to use.
Please when was it launched because if i do enjoy the app better than esteem I'm gonna make a post about it to promote it.
its great news sir to made bsteem
thanks a lot @jm90mm
thank you for the information friend @exyle. application information to access blockchain steem which is very useful for us.semoga success always for you @exyle.
Wow...Great post...Maybe I will try it. Thanks for sharing

We need a good steem app.

I don't like logging into to steemit thru chrome I find several things don't work at least on this phone and would definitely like to see a Steemit app
I think that it can be done with any browser you have not only chrome. I mentioned chrome sine i have solved my issue using chrome...what is your device ??
Anyway i agree that there should be a steemit app but in my opinion there should be a steemit app that is owned by steemit blockchain and not by a 3rd party. That's my modest thought !!
wow its bSteem, is great job sir
congrates specially @jm90mm
nice and great video
Looks really wonderful such a cool and fantastic architectural design :)
I like this writing. I appreciate your story. thanks for sharing this post.
Great post. Thank you for letting us know about the new app with screenshots too.
But I hope it's secure to use our password there.

You been so wonderful boss...
Butyfull story and writing

can you make a post about it.
@exyle this is an amazing new contribution for steemit. i would like to use this app to post the contents this is amazing . great work .
I'm curious if it works smoother than steem
i love your work.
on steemit
i am @mwanjo
i write religious books
or would like to be a write.
still very timid: i have not yet put up even one of my papers on steemit.
writing is fun when its seen by millions.
@exyle I get a little nervous when you say that Steemconnect Is not 100% safe. I hope we can be more confident with it and I am sure we will be in the Future.......Right now anything less than 100% is iffy....................
Interesting, may have to check it after hearing more. Never be the first and never be the last
The app looks good. Will give a try 😀 Thanks, @exyle!
Your screenshots is very nice.
I just found out about that bSteem. exciting news. do not forget to see my post too, give your comment ..
