EA APP is terrible

Why has EA ruined a perfectly good working app (ORIGIN)?  The new app is buggy and constantly locks up after a pause in play time.  Specifically, it constantly demands re-logging in and has NO capacity to remember my settings. When it locks up I am forced to CRASH the app via Task Manager, then re-log in, etc.

Here's the real pain - we have a family situation where we do NOT allow constant internet connection.  Obviously, the EA app is constantly data polling our account for data collection reasons.  Unfortunately, when we disconnect from the internet EA gets stupid and eventually crashes. 

EA - please FIX.  You do NOT need a 24-7 connection. That is rude and invasive.  Let us log in and leave us alone.  Even better - allow the USER to change these settings. We have NO desire to constantly sync.  Local is all we want.  Thanks!

    Hi all,

    I'm going to close this thread to stop it from being necro'd.

    If you're experiencing the same or a related problem or want to start a new discussion, please create a new topic or respond to a more current thread.

    Thank you.

    I have posted numerous times, comparing features between Origin (rest in peace my good old friend), and EA app, and it still baffles me that they have not fixed the friends list yet. You are still limited to 99 friends (Origin had 400), and the join/invite function is still not present. Right-clicking on your friends does absolutely nothing.
    Also, game overlays that worked fine with Origin does sometimes not work with EA app.

    It's been how many years since the beta now, and these issues has never been fixed.

    Incredible that 3 years later and after countless complaints from users of the app, absolutely nothing has changed <3 stay dysfunctional EA, I will continue to buy games that do not require your busted launcher

  • Why has EA ruined a perfectly good working app? Because they already have our money and don't care.

  • In total agreement. EA please fix ea app or let us go back to Origin. I have poor rural internet so I log off to keep my sanity yet your half baked app you forced on us crashes and cries if left offline for less time than it takes to get a game started. Plus it fails to remember, or launch, or properly operate itself let alone the games us players have bought and installed.

    Fix this trash app or let us go back to Origin that may not have been great but it ran.
