How I am supposed to uninstall EA App?
Guys I need your help and I don't know if y'all have the same problem... I tried to go setting on my PC, apps, installed apps, searching EA App, clicking 3 dots and uninstall, but it won't uninstalling... It's a bug? If it's a bug then it's a big problem for our PC who only wastes our storage...

It's a bug. I've tried to uninstall it a while ago, too, because it wasn't working and I wanted to un- and then reinstall to fix the problem. Turns out the damn thing is pretty hard to uninstall but when you re-download it from the EA website, it'll automatically update/repair itself and work again. No idea how to get rid of it forever, though.

I knew it it's a bug, EA is way WORSE than a malware, trojan and something... Now how I am supposed to get rid this thing? There's at least a forum, Reddit or something? I'm on Windows 11. We really need report this issue...

There are a few threads on Reddit; seems the issue has been around for years. Now why doesn't that surprise me... A user on Reddit posted this a few months ago: "Download and run EA app installer and select repair then try uninstalling, worked for me!" Apparently, this worked for a few people, so it might be worth a shot :)

I'm trying to many times, but I swear I'm having difficulty. I redownloaded EA App desktop from the website, opened, and it says I already installed, it's totally useless...

That app really is a nightmare... I can't remember Origin being this messy, and that's saying a lot because Origin was pretty annoying, too.

I try to install the uninstaller from the Microsoft Store. EA is way, WAY worse than malware, trojan, ransomeware and something...

Have you tried Revo Uninstaller for it? It’s normally pretty good to get rid of things which don’t let you uninstall.

My gosh EA and Ubisoft are both worse... Also why we need install EA App if we always use Steam? Why only on console never require the launchers? It makes no sense...

Guys, I managed to uninstall EA App. How I do that? Thanks to this guy named Xeriath in the comments, I installed the Revo Uninstaller. After I search EA App, I uninstalled with Revo Uninstaller. I selected the moderate scan, I don't know what does mean, maybe I should have select the advanced scan, and I finally deleted all these trash EA files. Finally I uninstalled this program or launcher parasite on my computer. Now I don't know what should I do with Revo Uninstaller, should I uninstall this program too or keep it? Even if it been helpful. Very helpful.

You can remove Revo Uninstaller without issue but it is handy to get 100% rid of things. There are enough programs which leave their trash behind although you uninstall it the *normal* way.

Uninstalling EA App is not recommended unless if you do not want to play The SIms 4 anymore in addition to other EA games that require EA App in order to play.

Why not? I'm done with The Sims 4 and inZOI is coming. And Paralives too. Plus I can play The Sims 4 on console. And guess what, BOOM! Uninstalled anyway. No regrets.

Everyday in order to play Madden or Sims I have to clear cache a FEW times, click on the game a few times. Often waisting a half hour. I don't have a clue why the app is needed.
