Benoit Basset has created a very user friendly mobile application for those who want to trade their coins on their smartphones. I am not aware of any other mobile applications for this purpose with a good track record. So if you know of any, please tell me about it in the comments.
Ok, so here's how to use:
- Install it on your smartphone
- Login to your Kraken account and go to Settings and API
- Generate a new Key
- name it, and only 'check' the boxes for 'Orders and Trades'
- create it
- Go your KrakAPI app on your phone. Go to Settings and Kraken API and tap on 'Scan QRCode'
- Scan the QRCode of your API key from your Kraken account
- Trade
Some of the features worth mentioning are:
- the ability to easily check your balance
- create and track orders (open/closed)
- visualize price history
- access advanced charts for all trading pairs
- read the most recent relevant cryptocurrency news
As specified by Benoit Basset, this is not an official app by Kraken, but since Kraken has given liberal API access to their platform any astute developer can create their own app. KrakAPI seems legit given the number of downloads it has in the Play Store, 100k as of January 2018. You can read all about it on Basset's official page and then download it from your app store:

Is it possible for this app to get hijacked like it happened with binance where the hackers used api calls to buy Viacoin and try to get away with the profits. Who is benoit, is he reliable?
