What mobile app do you use, should I even use one at all, because no one look official ? Doesn't look so legit. |

What phone do you have?
EVE Droid is pretty good on Android phones. Aura is what I use on my iOS phone.
There is no "official" mobile app by CCP. These are made by the community, and are perfectly fine to use. |

I would use EVE Auth if CCP develop this app. |

Depends on what you want an app to do. If you want a fitting tool then see post above by Zaragram Dorgiers both programs are excellent.
If you want one that actually allows you to interact with your characters and any assets they may have the answer is no. We do not need them and we do not want them, if you want to access your characters and their assets in game then log in. Reasons, the devs have way to much to do as is, they do not need to take on a project like this. Security would be another area of concern but I do not know enough about that area of mobile phones and their apps to have any real thoughts other than it would be a concern. |

I've been using Aura for Android for a very long time.
It isn't fancy, but helps me track skills. |

we've been able to send and receive mails from a webpage for quite some time now. Stuff like contracts and the market I could see easily working on something like a phone and not sure how that would be game breaking. I mean if I am logging in from my phone or my laptop or my tablet what is the difference? It's still me logging in.
Now dumbing down flight controls so that combat could be done on a phone that is a different story. |

CCP will not open up API-like functions to mobile apps like making contracts or changing market orders for the simple reason it would enable market bots, something that is already a serious problem.
Maybe it would happen with a closed, in-house app, but there is no sign that is in the works and would still add another vector for cheating that Team Security would have to monitor. CREST will add more information to mobile apps, but I doubt you'll serious any gameplay interactions. Maybe some social tools eventually. |

The way phone and tablet apps work is that they call APIs on the server to do whatever operation the user has asked for. Those API calls are trivially discoverable by anyone who has the app installed on their phone/tablet (with some minor networking knowledge), as are all the parameters and there are plenty apps (development tools often) that allow someone to interrogate an API and determine it's responses. Anyone writing an app would have to do that.
Since it's just calling APIs on the server, it's trivial to have an app that doesn't need the step of you logging in and doing something.
Let's say for example that instead of the infinite skill queue, we'd got an API that could be called that would add a skill to the skill queue. Very quickly the phone/tablet apps would add a feature for you to queue up the next skill. Very soon someone would write an app which checked the skill queue at random intervals during a day (regular intervals would be too much of a give away of something being automated) and if the queue was less than 24 hours, automatically add skills until it was over 24 hours again.

with the new skill queue system I don't really feel a need for a mobile app, My main desire in that is to have something yell at me when I forget to train things, and well, I have over a year to worry about that

Honestly I just pay the yearly fee for splashtop on iOS for my iPad mini. It streams an interactive video of my home PCI, basically turning my iPad into a touchscreen version of my monitor. Quite handy. Able to log on, open eve, log in, skill up, buy things, not gonna attempt combat tho, as there's a slight delay, roughly 3 seconds on input.
Now the app doesn't access eve, it just access my Pc, so everything done, is done on my pc, as if I were home sitting in the chair. Just requires an Internet connection on the device being used. It will eat phone data like no tomorrow tho. |

TeamViewer can do a similar thing, free for non-commercial uses (what I use to access my PC from my iPad, usually to restart the launcher on patch day) |
