We’re continuing to make improvements to the Companion App throughout the year to maintain stability, address issues, and make the app better.
- The Companion Team
First things first, I don't understand why people complain about the lack of functions compared to the actual console game. You should understand that it's a "companion" app and not expect it to look exactly like the ultimate team menu. For its purpose of being able to do new SBC's when i'm not home or accessing the transfer market, it's fine. However, I do have some complaints. For one the filters for searching for player items could definitely be easier to use; like why do I have to scroll and find specific club names on a small screen? Searching should be an option. Not to mention the amount of bugs I come across with numerous other features. And my biggest issue is that from time to time, when I try to press the "log in" button to access the companion app nothing happens and I have to delete and redownload the app for it to even work again.
This app works great when it lets you log in, it has some minor imperfections, like not letting you see the full stats for sbc players, not being able to build a squad with a preset concept player option etc..all things that can be ignored (for now). The biggest problem is the ability to log in. I understand when you are playing on your console, you may not go into the app, but when I have been logged off (and my console has been turned off) for more than 20 minutes, and i still cant access my squad on the app is infuriating. This has been a problem since the beginning of this companion app. It doesn’t communicate with its servers and it makes no sense. What if i turned off my ps4 before a trip and i went on my phone to check my squad or sbc’s and it wouldnt let me due to me “still being logged in on console” and i had to wait until i went home again....i shouldnt have to relaunch fifa to log in and log back out just to be able to use this app..its a major inconvenience and should've been solved on day 2 but its is now a few years in and this problem is occurring...unacceptable...
It’s Good but in some ways it’s not I will tell you 4 reasons why reason #1 it makes you log in over and over each time sometimes I have a problem with it sometimes I don’t reason #2 it doesn’t let you open the app when your already playing on your console and you have a pick and you are trying to replace a player and comparing your stats reason #3 when you’re connected to Internet I need to try to login. Sometimes it doesn’t even let you and says no Internet. Please connect to Internet. reason #4 some features on the companion app are glitchy. These are all my four reasons I recommend it if you’re like on the go and you’re trying to do an SBC or just change your squad up but it’s not perfect. It’s good. I would say I would highly recommend for EA to fix this.
Over the last few game cycles, this app has made steady improvements with eliminating crashes and glitches. It’s mostly stable right now. A handful of QOL upgrades have come in the form of squad building with SBC storage and Max/Min OVR filters. One spot that needs some attention is the “My Packs” section. If you really play this game, you will acquire more packs than you can actually open and process. Most will be low level grind packs or crafting packs. It is exhausting scrolling down a single infinite list of all of my packs trying to find the one that I want to open. Please implement some type of organizational and search function so that for instance, my 85x5 isn’t buried under several dozen 77x3 packs. Either stack identical packs with a quantity value, or folders, or search would lessen the headache of managing packs in this app. And it’s not even possible in game anymore, as only my bronze packs are visible. So please, for the love of FUT, improve pack management.
The companion app can be helpful, especially when wanting to do some SBC’s on the go and wanting to do some selling of players. But trying to bid for players can be quite frustrating. An error will show up quite frequently when trying to bid for a player that says “Bid status has changed. Please try again.” I have lost bids on players that I was watching for a long time and was in a bidding war against someone, to then lose out because of this error. It’s very frustrating and I have lost out on some wonderful deals on players because of this. To the point that I only will use it for SBC’s and finding Special players, because you can’t sort by this option on the game unless you know the Special series. Makes it great when wanting to browse for special players. Would be great if that fatal flaw wasn’t there and constant.
This app is absolutely awful when it comes to the transfer market as it will often not allow you to make a bid after a certain amounts of bids made. It just gives an error and you have to quit the app to in order to get the transfer market to work again. The problem with that is the app is so slow to start that you will often lose the bid (for the price you were prepared to beat) by the time the app reboots. Also if you use the app for multiple things, during a single session the app will often freeze up. For example, if you poke around in squad building challenges or look at your active squad and then go to another section of the app, the pages will often stop loading and the buttons stop working forcing you to kill the app. I have to quit the way too many times per session, and end up using the app in small increments of 1-2 minutes where I preemptively quit and restart the app for me to give this app anything but the 1 Star I gave it. Fix the app!
This app is really good and thanks to the new update it is easier to find specific cards you are looking in the transfer market but then sometimes the app freezes and I can’t do anything and I have to log back in. Also in the transfer market there are times were after a couple of bids you can’t bid any more so you have to log out and log back in. But overall it would be the best app if it weren’t so freeze most of the time and sometimes. Also this app sometimes doesn’t save my squad so when I play on console I have to make my squad all over again. Also I would like FIFA to help buy FIFA points through the mobile app so you can pay through an iPhone gift card. This app helps me make my team better without going on a console.
As much as people complain about the transfer market bug which does become annoying, there is a simple way around this and that is backing out of the transfer market and going to your transfer targets. It’s super quick to do and is less than 30 secs to do. If it bugs again, back out and return, it’s no hard to do. People are really dumb if they haven’t figured out how to get around this. Even the platform version does that sometimes. SOMETIMES. Not all the time. Beyond that bug, everything works really great and you can literally do everyone in this app as far as FUT is concerned, other than not being able to play the game. Love everything about it! Thank you EA :)
