bump for random update to reverse comment order in discussions (in the settings) and some bugfixes

8 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I've been using this for a few days now - it is very helpful! It seems to work pretty smoothly so far. A couple things I've noticed that might help:

  • On occasion, especially when my internet signal is weak, attempting to enter a giveaway will cause the app to crash.
  • When running a search for giveaways, it would be nice to be able to "clear" the search parameters. Currently the only way (that I can find) to get back to the full list is to click the back button. This means if you end up following several links in the interrim, that you have to go back through a bunch of pages just to clear the search parameters.

Other than that, it's awesome! Thanks for making this!

I'll look into the network thing, I just mostly used it at home and never had my connection randomly dropping :x

Not really sure what you mean with search and interim pages, dunno how those are related.

Nevermind - I just tried it again to attempt to come up with a use case for you, and it's no longer doing it. If I can find a use case to illustrate what I mean, I'll let you know :)

Works very well, I've been using it for a few days and it's very useful. It has been nice to notice the regular updates that weren't there the last time I used the app :D

Suggestions:

  1. Filtering by level and entry cost. Winning chance would be a plus, but not as urgent/needed.
  2. Add the level of the giveaway as text in the list view ("[icons] xP | Lx | xxx entries")
  3. A "Help" option in the main menu to (at least) explain/remind the meaning of the various colors used in the GA list view. And maybe other useful instructions like the difference between back arrow and back physical button, long press on a GA (one wouldn't discover it unless it's by accident), etc.

To be honest, I don't really know (knew?) what the color-coded circles mean. That's why I think a guide section would be helpful both for new users and regular users. I guess green means it's a level restricted GA I can enter (but I don't know which level directly in the list view), yellow means it's a group GA and blue means it's a whitelisted GA. I don't think there's a code for GAs of games in my wishlist... Maybe replacing colors with small icons/text would work better? Plain text for level ("Lx"), a heart for whitelisted GAs and a small guy for group GAs? And something else for games from the wishlist, I don't know what, though, the obvious thing would be a heart (if it wasn't used for whitelisted GAs).

Oh, I almost forgot...

  1. Add a link to this thread in the "About" section ("Discuss"?). I thought "Feedback" would lead here, but it's used to send it by e-mail. Since you're logged on the app it seems natural to post feedback directly here instead of sending an e-mail.

Thanks for making this, I found it very useful and (as others pointed out) really easiest and fastest than trying to access the site with a mobile browser.

I'm just awful at writing help pages :-(

Green and red are for levels (can enter vs can't), and I don't really have a direct way of figuring out what's on your wishlist to highlight that in any particular way. I (personally) think it's easier to see at a quick glance rather than having symbols there, but I get your point - the individual giveaways have those symbols.

My english is not that good, otherwise I would offer you my help to write the guide. Maybe someone else would like to contribute to this project by doing it...

I agree, when you know the color code it's easy to check everything at once. I still think it would be nice to put the level of the GA in the list view (a simple "Lx" in the text) because sometimes I prefer to enter high-level GAs.

Regarding the wishlisted games, I thought you could show that information directly on the list view of GAs since you had an option to show only those, but I just noticed that it's a SG feature and not directly made by the app. However, when I used SG2O as a browser addon, it showed the wishlist GAs by using a green border around, so it should be possible to highlight those GAs in the main view.

First off, thank you for making this app <3<3<3

The bug I found is when you try to search something, you type that into searchbar and it works fine, but the problem is redoing it. I cant do it, and that search stayes on the giveaways page also, so if I search "android" on the forums, I cant delete that search, can only search something else, and when I go to giveaways page the search "android" is still there and cant delete it.

Also, when I typed in this problem on my mobile this morning, after I pressed send, my app crashed and couldnt load the pages after that for some time..

Again, great work, thanks for taking the time to make it, and keep going :)

In the list page you can use silver/white color coded icon. In the giveaway page use globe icon. I'll send screenshot email via feedback in app.

Update is awesome. Can long press to hide games now, and can manage hidden games. I also see little colored dots on the GAs which I'm sure will be awesomely useful when I figure out what they each mean. Gonna guess group/whitelist.

This is coming along really well. If you need donations, you have mine.

This looks great on samsung galaxy s5! I'm excited that there is a "night mode" as well. I've used it a little so far and it has navigated nicely. Thanks for putting the time into this app!

One feature that would be nice to look forward to is filtering giveaways by level. Maybe also some information on the start up about the app and how to interact with it.

ok for now this is my opinion: looks great on samsung s3, you should add an option to not download game images (for slow connections) and the game fields are ultra wide, I more than rarely hit the wrong game accidentally, make them a little big bigger in size, everything else is golden!

Thanks for the update.
bug - I can't comment on forums. I get "unfortunately app has stopped"
Request - when I click on my avatar, it goes to my messages and there is a link on top to go to my profile. Instead make it reverse. First profile, then messages, won, created, etc

You'll eventually see won/created/entered giveaways on that list, and not on your profile, so I'm holding out on that atm. Commenting seems to work fine here :X

Awsome work you did so far!

BUG: When you do a search, you can't clear the filter afterwards.
BUG: You can't mark and copy text when posting.
SUGGESTION: A search on entered giveaways for giveaways of the same game would be great.

Hm, it tells me that me I have two notifications but I can't seem to interact with them...

Also the way searches are handled is weird... they are pretty persistent, clicking on any filter does not make it disappear, there is also no button etc to make it go away, except for the android back function which can b misleading...

Being able to see pinned giveaways is cool, but they should only appear on the all tab. Right now they appear in wishlist and groups.
Otherwise thank you very much for continously improving the app.

Nice to see the last features added to the app, it's getting better and better with each release.

A couple of suggestions:

  • When hiding a game, ask for confirmation. It's easy to tap the "Hide" option instead of actually entering the giveaway :/ (or make it different, so it's more difficult to press the hide option by mistake -smaller text? placed in the low-right corner of the popup?-)
  • Add an option somewhere (About?) to replay the introduction tutorial. I was really happy that you decided to make it in the end, but it's a pity you can just see it once. It would be helpful to be able to watch it again just in case you forgot something.

I'm still missing the giveaways filtering option, I hope you'll be able to add it in a near future. Meanwhile, the app does the job and it does it very well, it's great to access Steamgifts when you're away from the computer, and it's very fast and smooth.

Thanks for the new updates.
Couple of suggestions - Add filter for 'number of copies'.Add option to pin any giveaway, so that we can enter/check later(like bookmarking in browser). Hope you are working on region restricted giveaway icon also.

You can only see what's gifted in private giveaways if you're looking at your own profile, or if the giveaway is over. It says 'Invite only' for the others.

That's great work once more kt. Thanks a lot! Is there a way to filter out entered giveaways?

edit: I'd also like the "lines" to be thicker (maybe have an option to choose), but I guess I could do it myself if it's not something you want to spend time on...

edit2: just noticed that filtering by level also hides group giveaways with no level. Maybe that's not what you want it to do?

What lines are we talking about here?

Also, filtering by level passes the level to SteamGifts, so it's - for example - http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/search?level_min=6. That doesn't take group/wishlist giveaways without level into account, I'm afraid.

The giveaway list has each giveaway in a "line" which is too thin for my taste. I'd rather easily scroll with my thumb and clearly read and click each giveaway.

I recently noticed cg's announcement on level filtering and guessed this is the way you do it and I also commented that to cg. What many would want, me included, would be to be able to see giveaways like the first SG+ script, where I could:

  • filter all giveaways by entries
  • filter public giveaways by level
    at the same time.

If that's not possible, I'd like to toogle the filter instead of clearing it completely and re-entering it when I need it.

Increasing the font size in android settings, make the list bigger, if that's what you are looking for.
