Yep, skills and evemails are the core functionality to replace. I seem to remember sending evemails from browser on old forums ---

It’s just not possible for this to be… impossible. How often do people swap skills though? Personally I set a multi-year skill queues and touch it like… once a year? I do not see why I would want to download an app just to tweak it daily when I can do the same thing while logged in on my PC when I’m playing anyway. It’s not like we still have the 24h limit on skill queues. ---

Understandable. It’s software. It wears out and stops working at some point, and you can’t fix or replace it. There’s literally nothing that can be done. ---

> [@Power\_s\_Urge](#): > > It wears out and stops working at some point, and you can’t fix or replace it. That’s almost never true, there’s a lot of 2-5 decade old code running the worlds businesses. `does not have a robust enough foundation for its ongoing maintenance or further development` instead means it was _built_ in a way that makes it too costly (usually person hours) to improve and fix. CCP is better than many companies at recognizing that, ref IGB, Nova, Legion ---

I liked the EVE app. But it was always bare bones. Honestly I thought the only way it was still being kept up was because CCP wanted players to use to be able to sell plex at any time directly to Jita. Because lets face it, the app didnt have many functions. One of those functions was the skill queue and that hardly worked. Heck it still had the 50 max skills in the queue as a limit. How long has CCP changed that ingame to 150? Yeah, it wasnt getting any updates for years now. Still, in this day and age, CCP should be trying to maintain and even improve a phone app that gaves players more ways to manage the game through our phones. Improvements and looking forward to the future. For instance, the excel add on was a way to improve functions to the game. I’m sure something could be done with an app that helps manage industry etc better for instance aside from already normal features (like being able to write and read eve mails seems pretty simple but sure…). Now, should it have been the current app? Maybe not. Maybe its time to develop a new app. But simply not having one doesnt seem very smart. Heck, even Destiny 2 has a freaking app to manage inventory, like wtf… ---

. The problem is that when CCP initially launched their portal app, it was into an environment where there was already a really good app that did everything that portal purported to do, namely, [Neocom II](https://apps.apple.com/de/app/neocom-for-eve-online/id418895101) ![460x0w](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/b/3/a/b3abaa3ac4e711bbcb851819041df32e628f5e13.webp) Where CCPs portal app was pretty poor and _didn’t_ live up to the hype, Neocom II is really good and **does**. If you’ve not come across it yet, there’s a good review of it [here](https://tagn.wordpress.com/tag/neocom). I’ve used it for several years now and I’m a big fan. It looks something like this: . ![neocomiiapp](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/9/d/7/9d75b57ee8972e73e76d4523f60332e1ae9af3c1.jpeg) . Whilst I do _get_ that CCP is a commercial company, I struggle to see why, in the face of something good existing, rather than engaging with the originator to have a partner relationship (_in this case, the app’s author [Artem Shimanski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/shimanski-artem)_) and potentially develop the app further to make it even better than what it is, they enthusiastically launch their own competitor software app which then crashes and burns. It’s not really good for them as a company or the players, and it’s a waste of everyone’s time and energy. 🐁 ---

You literally proved my point, just by stating it. Everyone sees a need for the app, otherwise you have to use some shitty client like VNC on your phone. Your argument is that there is a need for the app, but you have a workaround so you don’t really care…. That’s not the same as proving that there is no need for the app, just that you have complete and utter apathy for the situation. Edit: A wonderful example of this, is PLEX or any of the player traded items you get from the in-game store for real money. Only the official app, can do that…Neocom cannot. Edit2: Not to mention that you cannot trust a third-party to not steal your ISK or data, CCP already has all of that; so that argument doesn’t work against them. It’s also, impossible to argue away; because this is Eve. Look at what just happened to the Goons of internal sabotage and not caring. ---

Of course not. It never did. That wasnt the point of the neocom. The PLEX thing was the last best thing added to the portal. Skill change wasnt a concern for me nor the plex. So ill happily go back to the neocom for evemails.
