Greetings Everyone,

Today a good friend of mine recommended I give the new eSteem mobile apk a try. I am thoroughly addicted to the eSteem desktop surfer as it is, so I thought *"why not, surely the mobile version must be just as nice as the desktop client"*.

Now I've tried other mobile clients in the past, and they were decent and performed well enough, but this client is the Cadillac of mobile Steem apps. Let's take a look through my very first experience using eSteem Mobile 2.0.6

  This is the loading screen upon opening eSteem Mobile. 
  
  Cool, what's next?

Now we are prompted to log in. All is going smoothly thus far.

Here you are given the option to utilize Steemconnect, or a standard credentials input. I opted to input my personal credentials. eSteem makes it a point to specify that credentials are stored locally, and removed from device upon log out. Nice feature!

Let's log in shall we?

Now that I have my credentials input for a futurelogin, let's go!

Not so fast.. What if you have the misfortune of losing your phone and someone gains access to it? The feature of having a pin for your Steem access should slow down any would be attacker, while giving you time to change your key. Also a very nice security feature. 

Now that I have set a pin, let's see what happens upon log in.

Nice, my feed popped up, and everything is going smoothly, just as expected!

Now let's navigate a little to see what we have going on.

Alright, your standard side menu options, very easy to navigate. 

What's the little message indicator down at the bottom I wonder?

This is an indicator that eSteem mobile will have a messaging feature coming soon. 😎 

Check it out, notifications as well, a standard feature in the eSteem mobile app, and works flawlessly.

Alright, let's go make a comment, and see if this feature works smoothly as well.

  It looks like everything worked perfectly! Great!
  
  But I feel like I am forgetting a thing or two. I usually check settings first thing, so let's go over to settings and see if there are any cool features.

  YES! A futuremind favorite, dark mode!!! For me, the white background bugs my eyes out pretty quickly and becomes a strain in no time, so this is a feature I really really love. It gives the eSteem app a much smoother appeal for me personally. 
  Let's have a look at the profile now. *(In dark mode of course)*

  I'm really liking this app now. Dark mode looks really nice. Let's try out the search feature now.

  Nice, the search feature appears to work decently. I'm very pleased to see a solid search feature, and I will continue testing it. 
  
  That is pretty much it. I might have missed testing a feature or two, but this was a quick run through describing my experience as a first time eSteem Mobile user, and I am really liking it. I didn't find anything that I would consider a bug except for one thing, and actually.. I find it a little amusing, but I'm sure it will be worked out. 
  
  The last screen shot I will share is when you re-open eSteem Mobile 2.0.6
  *(Also while describing what appears to be a bug)*

  When you want to re-engage your eSteem experience, you wil be prompted to enter your pin. If you forget your pin, there is a "link" on the bottom that reads "Oh, I forgot it...", but when I clicked on the message, *(various times for testing purposes)* nothing happened.. I clicked it plenty of times, so this is either a bug across all devices, or specific to certain makes. The testing device is a [ZTE Prestige 2](https://www.zteusa.com/zte-prestige-2).Good thing futuremind doesn't forget things such as pins. 😋 This is a minor bug, and not a major problem, for if you did forget your pin, a reinstall and fresh credentials input should do the trick, but still nice to have in case an intruder obtains your phone in an unlocked state. 
  
  Over all, I give this application a high user review! Should I say 5 stars, or 10/10? You get the picture either way, this mobile app is sweet! 
  I myself am more of a desktop client user, but I always use a mobile app on the go to keep up with notifs. Of course the mobile app I "used" to use was a competitor of sorts, and it's safe to say I will be utilizing a new mobile solution for Steem as of now!
  
  Thank you @good-karma, and the eSteem team for all your hard work and dedication to Steem, and this wonderful platform:
