"Ice Client : Steam™ Trading" (Google play)
basically a better steamclient:
you can redeem game codes
do live-trades
get notifications for invites, trade offers
configure the notifications
check steamrep easily
trade easier: not as good as sih but still very good
didnt test this, but: can replace the normal app + authenticator completely
I am using the app called "Ice" via Google Play for already two years to activate my Steam keys on my Samsung Galaxy smartphone day by day without probs! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aegamesi.steamtrade&hl=de
I recommend checking out the Ice mobile client on Play Store. In-addition to the usual Steam app features it also has:
- Direct training
- Steam game key activation
- Material design
- Adding friends via URL or email address
- Searching friends list
- Quick user profiles interface
- Quick profile name changing
- Quick status control (Online, away, busy etc.)
- Multiple account control
- Quick trade offers
- Inventory views (list and grid)
- Quick library view
- [Premium 4.25€] Game idling (Similar to IdleMaster, it needs some work but it's quite impressive)
My app is not open-source per-se, but the source code is available for viewing on GitHub: http://github.com/aegamesi/SteamTrade/ -- you're not allowed to modify or redistribute it-- it's for reference.
I don't know how successful you would call it: { Google Play Link }, but the reason I made the source code available is because it requires you to input your Steam login credentials, and I want people to be able to verify that the app doesn't attempt to steal credentials.
You might want to check out my app, Ice Client-- it does steam chatting as well as trading/trade offers.
I too was frustrated by the lack of development and general uselessness of the official steam app, so, well, I made Ice!

Hey, since it hasn't been mentioned yet, this awesome Android app called ICE allows you to send trades and trade offers from mobile. Here's a link.. Also, some people polished up the Steam client's UI to make it less awful. Here's a link to that. (Their website is broken I guess, so its just a download link.)
So basically... Ice Client?
​
(Ice Client was an alternate Steam client app that supported trading, 2FA, idling and cd-key input from 2014-2015, back when official app was a literal joke. I don't recommend switching to it though, as some of its features are broken nowadays.)
<em>Ice Client : Steam™ Trading</em> has this feature. I don't know why Valve hasn't implemented this into their app yet. What you can do is redeem the games through your web browser.
There is an android app with PWA. Here is the link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aegamesi.steamtrade
You can even idle games(one at a time but still its great for a phone app)
Yes, you can! Just make sure you reveal the cd-key on humblebundle, and then save it somewhere
Side note: If you're on android, there's a third party app called Ice that let's you activate cd-keys (use at your own risk)
So far as I know, you can't do this automatically. What you can do is:
- Change the notification sound/ringtone to a blank/silent mp3 file
- Set background connectivity to disconnect (I believe this prevents steam from running in the background, but I'm not sure)
- Close steam mobile/go offline whenever you're done with it.
- If you're comfortable with third-party solutions: Don't use steam mobile. WinAuth can do steam multifactor auth and trade/market confirmations (it basically emulates the android steam client for both); if your phone is rooted, you can even grab the settings file off your phone and keep using both steam mobile and WinAuth side-by-side. I've also heard good things about Ice Client, but I can't give you any details that aren't in that link since I don't actually use it myself. Both programs are free and open source, though Ice Client seems to have IAP for something, possibly just a donate button since it's not mentioned in the description.
In the midst of everyone being annoyed about the lack of new features / UI overhaul, I just want to give a shout out for my app, Ice Client-- it does steam chatting as well as trading/trade offers.
This does chat. I am surprised it has not been ported to Disa yet.

If all else fails I recommend checking out Ice Client. It has a way better interface and has all the features in the regular Steam app, but it also has other great features such as game key activation, better friend lists, direct trading, faster trade offers and game idling (only in premium). It's great.
Better steam client. The only alternative if you dont want to use chrome.
Gonna mooch off your comment, since it's 5th top comment right now.
I recommend people on Android just use Ice Client : Steam™ Trading. Despite the title, it's not just for trading. You can use it as your mobile authentication, actually get notifications for chat messages, etc. Solid 8/10. I run into the occasional bug on Android N, but the dev is super responsive and replies to emails and gets to issues fairly quickly.
It's a feature that has been requested several times before and i think Valve will probably implement it at some point in the future. But as of now, there is an alternative app (for Android) that you can use for trading: Ice Client : Steam™ Trading https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aegamesi.steamtrade&hl=en
I personally just use the browser (Chrome) on my phone which works well, for me at least.
Okay :) I might be asleep... if so, just send a trade offer :)
Also, if you're interested in doing trading and stuff on mobile (and have an android phone), my app works well for this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aegamesi.steamtrade
I've actually created an alternative steam client app for Android, called Ice Client. It doesn't support things like steam store, but it supports chat, trading, trade offers, inventories, etc.

Trade offers are not yet supported in the official mobile app. But there is a third-party Android app for this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aegamesi.steamtrade&hl=en

There is quite a bit you can do, there are powerful libraries like SteamKit that allows you to interact with almost everything afaik.
I know there exists some projects like Vapor or Ice Client but they seem to be mostly be doing friend / chat / trade stuff so far. All the trade bots you see basically are mini steam clients, they clearly don't work through Steam itself.
As for a full client, I'm not entirely sure what the limitations are honestly, I'm not familiar enough with SteamKit to know. The people over at SteamDB / SteamKit know a lot more about the subject, so hopefully one of them will show up and expand on this.
I do know that you can do basic things like get a list of games, launch games, etc. So maybe it's just too big of a project and no one has attempted it? It could also be a legal issue.

I was just looking at this yesterday, and even installed it, but haven't looked at the code yet (I'm also not really into Android code, so don't understand a lot). It seems to be partially based on another Android Steam-based app called Ice Client which is also open source, but is ad-based with IAP. The core of each is an Android-based port of SteamKit-Java which is a Java port of SteamKit2.
SteamKit2 (and ports) are basically a reverse-engineered attempt to emulate the Steam client and have a lot of code. The apps that use SteamKit2 or it's ported equivalents also tend to have a large code base. It would be far easier to scan a built APK than to read the code base and look for malicious intent, although of course searching the code manually would be the far safer method.
As for building it you could try to use AIDE or Java N-IDE directly on a device. AIDE is easier and will automatically handle a lot of the process, but is also full of limitations that will likely keep it from just working (can only compile projects of around 5 source files) and IAP to remove those limits whereas Java N-IDE is free but far less refined and the IAP is for a donation to the dev.
VirusTotal can apparently scan APKs, and would be a good option to use in the case that you're not comfortable installing the app and scanning on-device. You can try a third-party service to download the APK to your device without having to install it, but you should also be suspicious of those as decompiling, modifying, and recompiling an APK with the same display name but a different internal name (or even the same internal name so that it appears to be an update to the app to uneducated users) is not hard and could easily be automated to inject malware into the apps these third-party sites serve to users.
Ice app does that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aegamesi.steamtrade
It is possible,
Download the Ice Client for your Android.

Ice Client works really well. Link
Try ice for steam https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aegamesi.steamtrade
Yes it is. Link
What about Ice Client?
I don't use it, but I've heard it mentioned around here quite often.
There are. Besides automated Steam clients (trade bots), there are projects showing custom Steam frontends using either Open Steamworks or SteamKit.
- Didrole's wxSteam, which claims to do what you'd expect a Steam client to do (i.e., allows you to install games, chat, access Steam community); uses Open Steamworks (I think?)
- Mist, a .NET-based client for Steam trading, using SteamBot
- Ice, an Android client for Steam trading, using SteamKit-Java
- Distributed Marketeering Tool, a Java-based client for Steam trading, using SteamKit-Java, and is my own personal project
The problem comes with keeping the clients up to date with changes in the official Steam client. There isn't much of a stable API to work with, from what I gather looking at how often the backends get updated.
For most purposes, the official client is just "good enough" that there isn't any point in making a new one just to replicate features.
Ice Client.
[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aegamesi.steamtrade ](Ice Client)
you could use Ice for android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aegamesi.steamtrade
Ice Client was able to do this, unless this has been modified.
You can change the look & feel of the desktop client UI with a skin. There's a list of the "best" Steam skins in an old article on PCGamer. Someone is working on a custom, easily-skinnable and more friendly/simple version of the Steam client, but AFAIK it's still closed-source currently and IDK how close they are to having it being release-ready.
The mobile client could possibly be "replaced" with the third-party Ice Client. It claims to support SteamGuard code generation, be able to idle games, and more. Never personally tried it but now that ArchiSteamFarm doesn't work for older version of Mac OS X (10.11 or lower...) because of it's .NET requirement I am considering giving it a shot for the idling support, so the rest would just be a bonus.
But, yeah, Steam (like most WIP programs) is missing some stuff or has it functioning/available but hidden, has some quirks, and could use some updates all around. Much of this [which isn't already] will also take a very long time to implement and probably cost some multiple-digit number of millions of dollars (not that Valve/Gabe can't afford it, but companies do need to make smart decisions with their cash flow) for at least the basic version of each platform that Steam supports (Linux, Mac, Windows), and then to update the code for the server(s) it would be one giant bunch of pure hell, headaches, and cash.
There is another application for chatting on steam.
