Screencasts

We have implemented Fetch images feature giving you a choice to download images manually. Almost all Steem posts has images these days and some might be ~1MB, some can be even ~15MB which is quite big chunk of data for mobile. Countries like Indonesia or any other countries where mobile data is expensive these feature can help you to manage your consumption for better. You can save up to 90% of traffic with this feature. And best part is that you always have a choice to download/load each image if you think author of the post is referencing image or talking about image in article, other times authors include images just to get better formatting and make eye catching articles.
Disable Fetching image features only disables images from auto downloading/loading within post. But if you are viewing your Feed or Trending, Hot, etc. pages in Card view, you would still be downloading cover/thumbnail automatically which use up mobile data as well. Compact view helps with that, as it doesn’t load up thumbnail of the posts. Combining Compact view with Fetching images you would save up to 99% of current data usage (only text data) which is quite huge if you only rely on mobile data or have limited traffic monthly. You will still be in touch with your followers as well as make posts, comments, engage with minimal internet data usage. We are working to improve data saving even further with upcoming release v1.5.0

Thank you to my brother @pjo for helping out with recording animations!

This is very good feature! Even for Russia. We still have some places where it's better to switch images off for a while. Traffic economy is number one feature for a lot of people here.

Is eSteem opensource? How can we otherwise trust it?

I believe 100% esteem

This is one of the most questions to ask.

There's a link to github in the post...

Yet another amazing release for the esteem app.. I love how it's going so far.. Do you have any eta on ant major changes to the app that are coming, I'd love to see some big changes hit soon

People to people!

Thank you!

Enjoy @nature.art, be curious!

Sunny day!🌞

Esteem is Great application for all Steemit users. I am using it since 3 month. No problem. Thanks for the update.

Reblogged — let’s promote quality content!

This makes the eSteem experience even smoother, thank you very much for an even better app. I personally always reduce the size of my pictures to about a width of 1500 pixels and also compress it as much as possible. Modern smartphones produce pictures with 5 or more MB, this is not convenient for posting, far too much data. My posts are always loading very fast. Additionally I host my pictures with https://cloudinary.com , which is an excellent and free container for pictures, videos and general documents with a very fast bandwith.

Steemit Mobile looks great.

Nice feature, really helpful!

Good job :)

Wonderful feature. Operating on mobile data can be expensive because packages are usually limited. In such circumstances, coming up with a feature like this is a big favor for all Steemians.

I have noticed improvement in functionality of @esteemapp lately and hope for an even better version. I almost invariable post and comment from eSteem app now. It is convenient as well as rewarding.

I won't be surprised if I get $0.30 on this comment just becuase it was posted through the app. Please keep this option open.

Magnificence I have this application in my phone that is user friendly and time-consuming

Thanks! excellent app, i am using .

Interesting post!!
