What can the FUT 17 Companion App do?
The companion app for your smartphone is designed so that you have FUT 17 literally at your fingertips, anytime and anywhere.
With the companion app, you can even master squad-building challenges: assemble teams, trade in cards, and claim – sometimes – unique rewards. In the app, you can secure the rewards immediately or plan the respective team and finish everything later on the console or PC.
The transfer market is also available in the companion app. You can browse the transfers, list cards, or place bids on items.
Important note: If you’re starting your FUT career with FIFA 17, you’ll need to play a few FUT matches on the console or PC first to unlock access to the transfer market in the companion app. Returning “FUT 16” players have direct access.
With this app, you can also manage your team and your club. Thus, you can prepare for important matches while on the go and get started directly when you’re home. In the FUT shop, you can also purchase packs with coins or FIFA Points using the companion app.
The reviews of the companion app are mostly very positive. It runs smoothly and impresses with its clarity. It is an excellent companion for on-the-go.
The companion app is already useful just for the reason that you can immediately take a screenshot of your team and send it to your friends. This way, you can discuss together which positions in the team need improvement. Therefore, the recommendation is: The app is practical and free, so you should at least try it if you want to successfully start in FUT 17.
