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.

Awesome, I have done some improvements since releasing it. Some of the JSON files were too big and unformated. I've since formated them and broken them down into smaller files.

Is it getting caught in spam? I used the text verification I think and it worked fine.

For some reason this app broke entirely for me like 2 days ago. It was working "fine" (crashes are normal for EA ) a couple days ago, but now whenever I access the app it gets to the flash screen with Gronk, and closes immediately after. I thought maybe it was because I was still on iOS 9.5, so I updated to 10.2 and the same thing happens. Anyone else encountering this problem, or am I just lucky
 
# 107 IlliniOne82 @ 12/17/16 03:52 PM
Same here. It crashes over and over. I deleted it and reinstalled it but nothing. This is frustrating too because the season just ended and I want to export my end of season data to DL before I advance to the offseason.

No its not just you ,the app seems only about half stable to be honest. Not bad for over 3 months after launch and not many features to it for CFM.


One thing i did yesterday when i kept just getting errors without even really clicking anything other than Franchise. Keep clicking on the gear( settings) symbol , and from there click " sign out" . Then fully close the app. Re open it , and sign back in , although it still took a couple trys, at least that time i got back in. Before i tried literally 25 times and nothing just error , error, error, error , error ...... A common theme with this app. Really hope that "continual dev cycle " they have harped so much about, includes working on this app the rest of this year and not just leaving it high and dry like this until 18.

They have to add functionality. There are obvious musts, but they need to allow us to spend xp.

I understand that DL role has been reduced, but in order for the app to have significance they need to push for as much cfm funtionality as they can fit into the thing.

Quite frankly, the app should fire up and pretty much resemble the cfm screens on the console.

Ditto on unusable app since latest title update. Another commish in my league in same boat.

Yeah. Really annoying to finally get hyped about this and pay for DaddyLeagues that I can't use now. Should have known better than to trust EA for stability haha.. You'd think I'd have learned by now.

Agree on really hoping they resolve this issue... I was just starting to enjoy having my stats online.

Have they acknowledged it at all?

Just tried installing on a diff device, iOS this time, still crashes after login every time.

This is pitiful. The app has a 2 star rating on Apple and a 2.5 star rating on Google Play.
 
# 114 paarman @ 12/22/16 10:50 AM
Yeah it's really starting to piss me off now.
 
# 115 howboutdat @ 12/22/16 10:55 AM
while this does not work for me everytime , alot of times when i keep getting a critical error, if i go under settings and log out , then close the app fully. Re-open it and re login , it seems to work more often than not, hope that helps people .
 
# 116 BadAssHskr @ 12/22/16 12:07 PM
Hit them up on twitter and see if you can get the problem isolated. the only time i've had an issues was when i had a game saved at the half and tried to upload stats.

Most never even get that far. Its not errors. Its crashes.

Has ANYONE heard/read if EA even so much as gives a damn about this? Would like to know for certain if I just pissed away $25 to Daddy Leagues for nothing.

I like to think they care and are seriously trying to do the right thing, but only allowing exports to DL is questionable.

Just wish they would've opened it up to anyone that met minimal standards they set like the android or AppStore.

I agree.. However, currently not able to export at all is a worse option haha. I can't even open the app without it crashing immediately, so I am stuck in the water until they fix their app.. Really disheartening to pay money to a service, possibly regrettably, only to have their app go down a couple weeks later. Now I can't even use the service I've paid DL for.
