Why should there be one? The EAForum website works great on mobile. So my guess is that there is no EA Forum app because it's not needed / wouldn't be that useful, except perhaps for app notifications, but that doesn't seem that important.
From which a recommendation comes to mind for people who want an app: add a homescreen shortcut to the website.

Another advantage of an app may be that you could download posts, in case you go somewhere where you don't have Internet access, but I think this is rare and not a sufficient reason to create an app either.
