More details from the blog:

FRANCHISE MODE
Use the Madden Companion app to advance the week, view the weekly schedule, utilize commissioner controls, receive important notifications, and even export stats to third party websites all from the palm of your hand.

FRANCHISE NOTIFICATIONS
When you open the M17 Companion App for the first time, make sure to enable Notifications. This will ensure you are notified any time the league advances or when games are played. When you are in a league with several friends, knowing when the week has advanced, so you can play your game is key. Enabling notifications will also keep you informed of Trade Proposals and League Invitations.

TO DOS
You can set yourself as ready, toggle autopilot, or force advance the week right from the app. Your commissioner now has no excuse for not advancing the week on time!

COMMISSIONER CONTROLS
From the members tab, you can see all the other people in your Franchise and as a commissioner you can toggle auto pilot, clear cap penalties, boot users, make admin, and transfer commissioner status. In situations where one person isn’t available to play a game, the commish can now turn on auto pilot, while on the go, so the league can continue to run smoothly.

WEEKLY SCHEDULE
See scores and matchups for the week easily on the Schedule page. If you are the commissioner, then you can easily force a home or away win right from the app.

LEAGUE STATS EXPORT
There are many Franchise fansites that provide a great service to the community, and now you can safely integrate stats from your league into these websites using the new Stats Export feature. You simply put in the URL for your favorite fan website that supports this functionality and then press Export. Once the process is complete, the fan website will have all the player stats and rosters for the entire league. A big “thank you” goes out to DaddyLeagues for working with us on this feature.

MUT REWARDS
Start earning rewards for opening packs in Madden Ultimate Team. All packs you open will count towards your total. MUT Rewards members can receive Coins, Packs, and other great surprises throughout the Madden Season.

New players can sign up for MUT Rewards in the Madden Companion App, while existing members can view exclusive Ultimate Team stats, see the number of packs they’ve opened, and update the email address associated with their account.

So weird. I just logged out and logged back in thinking maybe they were having issues today but it worked fine for me. After logging in it goes to the main menu page where you can select your online cfms, mut stuff, blogs, etc.

To be honest though you are not really missing anything. The app does next to nothing and if you want it for DL there are issues on that end too.

At DL, in the coaches section, when i select my team, i get a "Page Not Found" error. Whenn selecting any other team i get their full stats, etc, and the site is working fine.

I played and finished a game last night, disnt advance the week, am wondering if that has some thing to do with it?

I think DL may have rushed this to try to get it out since so many wanted it for so long. Now with everyone trying to load their cfm at once and the new way EA is getting the cfm info out it is causing issues all over. It's not like they let DL test this out before release. They may have giving them the way to decrypt the info but it was mainly just a here ya go figure it out. At least it seems that way to me. I could be wrong though.

Yeah man, finally able to log in and view my stats, rosters, etc from DL. It is SO nice having this functionality back! Its an ubelievable relief for me, and a complete refresh of my current franchise.

Hopefully we'll be able to spend xp.

Thanks you, all involved for getting this functionality back to us!

Yeah unfortunately EA didnt really give him a way to fully test everything out out on his end before launching app. However, he has been working really hard at fixing the bugs quickly. Especially considering its just 1 person doing it all.

Hi OS, Can you please ask your contacts at EA how do people outside USA access the Madden companion App....? I have tried bluestacks, remote vpn via PC via Android and via region change on Ipad but nothing seems to work for me...

Doesn;t seem to work for me atall?
 
# 73 DPG2119 @ 12/05/16 03:25 PM
I downloaded this right away (iOS) and I was able to to log into the app and see my league but every single time I click on our league the app crashes. Haven't once been able to get into my league and look at anything. I deleted the app and reinstalled and still no luck.
 
# 74 fendereagle @ 12/06/16 09:27 AM
In the end was able to DL using US VPN and fake playstore account. Trying to sync to 3rd party and keep getting error during the roster extract 2nd stage.... oh boy

Can anybody suggest a free way to just look at stats for a solo online franchise? Export options?

Thank you

You as the fans have a big voice in what we build. Not only do your words matter but also your actions. The more you use the Companion App, then the more we will improve it. We want to make sure we are always focusing on and improving the most important features, and we look at what you use to help us make these decisions. We build Madden for the fans and that means YOU decide the future.
Spend xp from the app for one, however, this is where ther is a ton of potential.

Set depth chart
Access settings
Slider adjustments
Cut players
Trades
Views stats (we can generate them)
Big decisions

Thhe list could be pretty comprehensive, and if the goal is to take the game with you on the go, and keeping the game in gamers hands, these things are all essential.

I love the app, and the export feature, but it should be much more comprehensive.

Yes those are great additions it needs. They Removed some features DL had last year , just putting them all back would be a good start.

Uhh... what site is there other than DL? (I'd like to export to a free website if possible...)

Good luck. I searched around and couldn't find anything. Now maybe it's too new and stuff will start popping up in the next few weeks/months. I will say that I dropped the $25 for DL and now that everything is working correctly it is a very nice interface. You still can't do anything as far as spend xp, sign players, etc (basically anything interactive) but it is a really cool place to have all your league history and to be able to go back and see that stuff, for me, takes the immersion factor to a whole other level.
