So here’s the best mobile apps with gamers in mind, which are sorted in no particular order. 

Discord 

Gaming is all about community and connecting with other like-minded individuals. That's where the ultimate chat and voice-com app comes in.  

Discord is undoubtedly the most complete, solid way of communication for gamers. With over 250 million users worldwide, Discord is the one app for gamers everyone should install.

Steam Mobile 

Steam Mobile is a must-use app for PC gamers everywhere. It is fast, responsive and allows you to chat with your Steam friends, purchase games, and more. Basically, you never need to miss a Steam sale deal again.  

Then, there's also Steam Guard, providing two-factor security while logging in and selling items from various titles such as Dota 2 and CS:GO on the Steam marketplace.
