Abstract
Although mindfulness applications (apps) are increasingly popular, it is unclear whether they improve psychological outcomes. Participants were assigned to one of two mobile mindfulness apps or to an app-based attention control (n=208) for 40-days. Psychological improvements were found in users of the mindfulness apps, but not the control app.
