There is already a mobile app that runs on the steem blockchain it's called Esteem which is widely used. I know that you are probably referring to the mobile app that Steemit Inc is building. It seems strange to me that this is not mentioned.
A dedicated mobile wallet is a game changer for Steem. It is a superior settlement platform for value exchange as Brian wisely mentions due to speed, zero fees and simplicity of transfer to user names. I can't wait! Here is a post I wrote about it a while back:
STEEM & STEEM DOLLARS Mobile Wallet = Zero Transaction Fees! Calling Steemit developers!

The world is a better place because of Steemit, thanks!
I would not disagree. Now let’s hope and pray it realizes on its promise!
on which way :)
Yeah, mobile app would make a huge difference.
Agree. But don’t discount SMT’s. Once enterprise (businesses) get into the game, the value of steem could climb significantly benefiting all those new Steemians brought on board with mobile - like a double whammy!
True.. regarding SMT's. And everytime I introduce steemit to non-steemians, invariably they ask about the mobile app. So would expect the user base to spike in quick time once we have the apps.
Here's some food for thought.

Nice to know the stats. I sense the equation changing pretty fast ... in India atleast.
That is so true. Especially with the growth of smart phones!

Cool.

Me too. In what other environment can you post to earn rewards and translate them into a token with capital gain potential. The answer - only on Steemit!
Nein!!!!

Waiting for Android App from a long time.
I may be wrong but I think it might be downloadable now. I’m ditching my Blackberry after 5 years waiting now for my new iPhone. Arrgh! I swore I would never buy an iPhone but I was gifted the iPad Pro. Need I say more!
There is one major problem with the steem, or maybe it is steem evolution? Users behave here like it is decentralized facebook. They upvote without reading, they upvote not for the content but for the content author. Because larg amounts of steem are acumulated by persons who mostly upvotes only them selfs or other people(using voter or other bot to get nice curation reward) with big amount of steem new users will not be willing to join
You’re absolutely right. It is a problem. However, it is being addressed. People like @transisto, @littleguy and @breniesanders are keeping an eye on things. Projects with this much promise always attract carpetbaggers. It’s inevitable. But once the platform becomes more widely held and with the increase in the value in Steem, there will be a fix. Nonetheless, when you see it, call them out on it. E.G. Just look at the comments I’ve made above and you will no one gets my upvote unless I know them (and not always) and unless they demonstrate they’ve read the post.
