Great for opening packs and making transfers on the go, providing convenience for players who are not always at their consoles.

The app's performance can be slow and unresponsive, particularly when searching for players or trying to complete SBCs, leading to frustration.

The stability of the app is consistently criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs and glitches that hinder functionality, such as issues with bidding, squad building challenges (SBCs), and general navigation.

- “The app is so buggy that it needs an update; it freezes too much when in the transfer market.”
