It’s clear the app has very little to no maintenance and is copy and paste over the years. I have to agree that an API would be a much much better solution and this app has hindered so much development on this front. The products on front of this are very good and hide a lot of the flaws the app has, but they are all held back by the lackluster experience the app.
It’s also clear there’s very little to no testing done on this app because the bugs are maddening. I have successfully reverse engineered the whole app and it’s full of even more issues and security flaws. The free agent one in particular should be fixed by now as it’s a one character fix that I was able to guess the fix on. There are even more silly bugs in the app than that one and it’s a huge convoluted mess. The release this year was config change and reskin which was disappointing to say the least.
I fully support this post and what it’s calling for, I really hope EA does something about this. If anyone is interested in ways to not use the companion app, I am happy to share everything I have done. All my work is already publicly available. You can find me on discord as snallapa
