Better user interface, easy navigation, great layout, more information and updates along with linked content on the title you select. You can even connect/import friends from social and gaming accounts from multiple services like PlayStation, Steam, and Xbox.
I kind of like it. At least one of the teams at EA can do something right on the first try. Good job guys, you nailed it!

How much did they pay you for this post
Believe it or not they actually did a great job with the new features.
It hasn't worked with BF2042 since launch for me, always giving an error when downloading. EA support didn't care and told me to use Origin every time I contacted them about it.
All in all, I like the new app more as origin. The app works much better for me. Origin was always crashing after a while; I don’t have this issue with the app. Sure, I miss still things as limited download speed, that I can change the game language without the need to remove and install again the whole game (Sims4) and that steam works with the new app.
The last time I tried the app the offline mode was missing, but now it is there (because of the steam issue I need to play online, if I play offline my sims 4 deluxe edition(Steam) get not recognized. So, the game removes all items from the deluxe edition if I load my save in offline mode)
UI is worse in every way other than dark mode (but would've been easy addition to Origin, try darkreader extension in your browser on origin.com) loads of missing features and buggy as hell. It's a major downgrade compared to Origin, did I mention loads of games people bought over the years are just incompatible with it and that it doesn't even start on my main PC? Very cool indeed, just as I predicted over 2 years ago when it first dropped in beta, they did absolutely nothing to improve it and just pushed it out unfished on everyone just like they do their modern games. Kinda sad as EA has a decent backlog but if they don't one bit care about the user experience I'll just have to quit their games too just like I did with Ubisoft when they wrecked Uplay with their 2020 update. Since this will soon be forced on me too I'll take the time when I have some to waste to write a detailed post on here about all it's shortcomings, the fact they told Mac users to get bent really says it all, they were too lazy to even make a Mac version.
