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.

Hate to be that guy, but you can't do much with the app... I've been waiting for it hoping it would be decent but it can't do half of the things the old website could. *Sigh*

I don't see where it's downloadable on itues, from that link or my phone in the app store.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm looking at the app right now and I don't see any team management functions.

There's a significant amount of utility in the app for league commissioners - forcing wins, advancing weeks, toggling auto-pilot, exporting rosters and stats to a URL - but if you're not a league commissioner I'm not immediately seeing how this app is at all useful for a non-commissioner Franchise player, or a solo Franchise player for that matter as well.

Me either. Maybe it's taking a bit for it to show up or something

Was thinking the same thing. Seemed very bare bones with the CFM management part. Not going to use it much anyway, just glad it's out so DL can get going.

Working on getting an interview with Rex or John, but my understanding was the plan on release 1 was always to give commissioner tools and DL support. The following version you'd pick up player cards and some other functionality and eventually a bunch of things. Like I said though, working on getting someone from EA to lay out the plan on record.
