EA app Library Customization & Favorites Feature Request
I would love to see more customization options added to the EA app game library. One feature I would especially like to see is the ability to favorite games. Favorite games could appear in a dedicated “Favorites” section or automatically be displayed at the top of the library, making it much easier to quickly access the games we play most often. It would also be great to have additional library customization options, such as: Adding games to Favorites Displaying favorite games at the top Manually organizing games in a preferred order Creating custom categories such as “Favorites,” “Recently Played,” and “Installed” Hiding games that we are not interested in seeing Choosing how games are sorted and displayed in the library The EA app already has a large game library, so these features would make it much easier for users to organize and personalize their experience. These may seem like simple features, but they could make the EA app feel much more personal and user-friendly. I hope EA considers adding more library customization options in a future update. Thank you!💙
EA App needs a User quality of life update.
I'll start by saying I've been using EA's digital platform from the very beginning, Using EA Download manager and EA Downloader in the very Early days. I was an EA insider for a number of years (and a number of community managers ago) who helped with feedback and testing of the Origin app. I have also been an early adopter of the new EA app. That being said, I can no longer ignore little issues that are not being addressed. I like the app overall and think fixing these things will help to make it the best EA app possible. More User options needed for organization and layout. I will give the most noticeable example. This is an eye sore and I hate looking at it when browsing my library. In past apps I could delete or remove them, hide them, or organize them into a folder that I could close and never look at. In the current app, I can't do any of that. Assuming the game data was being pulled from steam, I figured I'd delete it there, but that is also not an option. Notice there is no option to remove the Battlefield 6 Beta. I'm sure I can go through support perhaps, either through EA or Steam or both to have this removed and cleaned up, maybe, But I don't want to waste my time dealing with it and I shouldn't have to. Box Art options needed as well Also, why can users not edit their box art? Past apps allowed us to, and so do several competitors apps. Some might think the feature is nice but unnecessary, and I could see that point of view. I wouldn't have a problem with that so long as all available Box Art was updated and worked well. This example shows the one I have In my library that shows this isn't the case. Again, I have no option to hide or edit the Pinnacle station dlc and it just looks bad. Friends list's Needs updates to how it gathers and displays friend data For some unknown reason, I have several friends who's name is listed as a number. If I click on the name to open the next screen, it will show the user name below the number as shown here: Why can't that just be the populated name in the friends list? Where is this number coming from and why is it being shown over the user name that the friend listing was made from? These are just a few things I've been looking at for some time that I have been hoping would be fixed but they have not been since launch of the new app. I realize I have a larger EA library than most and many people may never see these issues but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Please make a pass on the current build and address these issue. Cleaning up the usability of the app on the user side would make things so much better as we could fix these issue on our own if you gave us the ability to. Having the ability to delete/remove or edit items in the library, to include box art, would have allowed me to fix most of these issue myself.
Don't change the visibility of the EA app icon or launch it at every update!
I always set game launcher icons visible in the system tray so I can see if they're running and close them if needed. Every single time the EA app updates itself, it will reset the setting and stay hidden so the only way to see it is clicking on the arrow to check all icons. Every single time, I set it to visible again and it will inevitably revert that setting a couple of days later. Please, respect my settings and keep the app icon visible if I set it like that. That's especially important since the EA app has been updating several times a week, often taking over the screen at very inopportune times and taking me out of games, video and work. Keeping apps updated is important, I get it. But if the app launches itself automatically with every update, that's digital **bleep**. Allowing the app to automatically update should mean it updates when I open it, not whenever it wants. At best, it should update in the background without starting up. DO NOT LAUNCH AN APP BY ITSELF EVER, it's not your PC to go around opening stuff without my explicit command.
Screw your "EA App Needs To Restart" while playing
Seriously, what MONKEYS work on design and coding of this thing? If I started EA App that's because I want to PLAY A GAME. If I am playing a game I DON'T WANT TO STOP JUST SO YOUR APP CAN RESTART. If you need to check for updates DO IT BEFORE OPENING IT AND UPDATE IT BEFORE LAUNCH LIKE STEAM DOES FOR AT LEAST A DECADE. SHEESH.STOP STEALING FOCUS ON GAME EXIT
When I exit a game I bought on Steam such as Mass Effect Legendary Edition, EA App brings its window to foreground... TWICE... in a span of few seconds. How hard it is to: 1. Not show app if it was minimized 2. Not put it in foreground (that's actually considered malicious behavior in Windows) 3. At least not do it twice but wait until it's ready Claude writes better code.
Restore ability to hide games in library
Since you just closed 4 year old topic suggesting restoring basic functionality (that was present in origin) here I am to create new one. Please restore ability to hide games or remove them from account. This is very important for games that are demos, betas or no longer available Why do I have to watch Bejeweled 3 every time I want to find battlefield in my library? Why do I have to watch ea sports madden nfl just because I clicked on wrong tile while I had EA Play and it was instantly added to my account? I cannot even play it, it requires me to purchase subscription again (tile is grayed out) so I really have no idea why is it even visible in my library... I want to hide all these ugly mistakes and keep my library clean. It would be plus if I could add tags or group games into custom groups but just this basic functionality of hiding games and optionally removing them from account would be great.
Bring the ability to create short cuts to desktop and other games back
Please can we have the following updates to EA App, when running games like crusader no remorse , no regret, mass effect 3 ect , then running it from the short cuts provided it tells you it needs origin installed and to go install origin again. This doesn't work as origin doesn't work , so what about the ability to create a shortcut to the desktop that runs the game the same way as running it through the ea app , just removing the loading ea app , finding the game and clicking on play . Have things available to launch on the app ,eg "Command and Conquer The Ultimate Collection Additional Content" this was on origin and worked fine , but was shown in our library , and the ability to run it . The content was totally removed from EA App, and accessing it was hard due to not been able to get into the application . Also give us the option to select which platform we want to run the game on . eg start wars battlefront 2 2017 ( you can chose ea play, steam and epic ) List of games that have this issue with origin that I own Bejeweled 3 Crusader No Regret Crusader No Remorse Dragon Age Origins FIFA 10 FIFA 13 Mass Effect 3 Mass Effect™ 3 N7 Digital Deluxe Edition (2012) Medal of Honor™ Warfighter Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Plants vs. Zombies Syndicate
