I have to say that last update of eSteem iOS mobile frontend has impressed me. In this last version they have managed to obtain a solid product, completed enough and, at the same time, suffiently stable and agile.

Most of the bugs encountered in the previous versions have dissapeared and I can tell you that I am not using anymore the PARTIKO DApp, which I liked in the past and which is not anymore further developed by its team.

Actually I have seen only one minor bug on eSteem iOS version which I think I have to explain here for the @esteem developers and it is the fact that when you are in the “feed” section, the action of refreshing the page in order to check new posts does not work as I would expect. The “feed” does not show newer posts ecen if you scroll down the screen, so, if you want really to refresh it you have to change to another section of the DApp, for instance “ Hot” and then back again to the “Feed”... It is indeed a minor issue and I’m sure it will be fixed soon.

Anyway, coming back to the subject of this post, as I said, eSteem has become an impressive tool for my mobile as Steem frontend so now I am thinking that I will have to installed also as a main frontend at my desktop computer.

Besides the stability, agility and functionality reached by @esteem , there is also one MAJOR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE that it has while using it and which is not offered by other frontends.

eSteem promotes engagement

Really? Oh yes Sir! I am sure you have already heard about that while using eSteem you can also get or “mine” tokens, haven’t you?

Those tokens can be used later on in order for you to promote or boost your eSteem posts which, of course, some of you may say that this actions are a developed strategy from the oldsteem times but I personally think that it is not the same. You can buy those tokens if you want and burn them on the promitional aspect but you can get tokens as well by only using the app for doing specific actions while using eSteem. For instance, if you post you get eSteem tokens.

But the most important is that there are 3 easy actions that can help you further more not only in the “earning tokens” action but also in the engagement aspect.

Upvoting, commenting and reblogging, which is resteeming, are the three main actions of engaging while using eSteem. You get 5 ESTM tokens while commenting, 1 ESTM while reblogging and 0.3 by upvoting.

Again, I think eSteem has proposed a good solution for incentiving not only the use of the frontend but more importantly the engagement aspect at Steem.

As I said, now I’m going to try eSteem Surfer on my desktop. If the experience is the same as the obtained in my mobile, I am going to quit from using steemit, steempeak or busy from then on.

Now, let me tell you that I am going to BOOST this post with my ESTM tokens obtained by “engaging” while using eSteem so, don’t forget to engage with me before getting the upvoting “Boost” from the DApp 😂😂😂.

Sorry but this is my “milky” action for today.
