No 3rd party apps are officially approved by CCP.

But EveMon is the first thing you should install.

Don't forget about EFT or EVEHQ

EDIT: Any 3rd party program that actually interacts with the TQ-server (botting) is against EULA and is a bannable offence.

EDIT II:

* EveMON = 3rd party that can be used to plan a skillqueue (long term queues, remaps etc.)
* EFT = Eve Fitting Tool, exactly as the name, you can offline practice several fits etc.
* EVEHQ = large program, has got: Skillqueue planning, fitting, itemdatabase, Evemail, POS planner, Industry planner etc.

All of teh above mentioned programs use your limited or full API to work / update your character in the program.

EDIT: the forums do not link some links correctly, you'll have to copy paste the hyperlinks, I'm sorry. Nothing I can do about it.

(http://evemon.battleclinic.com/) Evemon is an out of game skill training planner. It might be useful for a new player to mess around with, I personally do not find it very helpful, and never have.

(http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=548883) Eve fitting tool is an exceptional piece of work. It allows you to try out fits out of game without needing to buy the ship. It tells you all sorts of stats about the ship and lets you see what changing skills will do to your setup. Its obligatory to be honest.

(http://www.evehq.net/) EVEHQ is a multi-purpose piece of software that does the same as both the above pieces of software and more. It's interface is an explosion in a button factory though, and since you won't need most of its features for a while, I'd ignore it.

(http://www.evementat.com/) EVE mentat and (http://sites.google.com/site/evemeep/) eve-MEEP are both industrial computation tools, which you can use to help optimise your industrial efforts and keep track of build projects.

(http://eve-marketdata.com/) eve-marketdata is a website that will allow you to view crowd sourced market information from regions other then your own. It is not 100% accurate because it relies on user submitted data, but it is a must for the budding trader.

(http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage) eve survival contains guides for missions, epic arcs, incursions and wormholes. If you get stuck in PvE content, stop by here for advice.

(http://eve-files.com/) eve files is a third party file hosting tool created by chribba, eves only trustworthy citizen, to provide free hosting for any and all eve related content.

(http://evemaps.dotlan.net/) dotlan maps contains full mapping data for the whole of eve online, if you get lost, find yourself here!

Finally, the always up to date (http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/Verite/influence.png) automatic API sovereignty map will allow you to keep an eye on the ebb and flow of eve online 0.0 politics, by seeing who owns what space where.

I think that covers all the common ones for PC. You'll find mobile phone apps by searching your app store for "eve online".

Remember that it is currently against the EULA for people to charge money for any program which uses eve IP. Don't pay for eve apps.

Don't forget pyfa. It's like EFT but, aside from being free software, it also runs on Mac OS, GNU/Linux etc . – perfect if you have a non-Windows laptop nearby and want to try new fits while playing EVE on your main computer.
