Abstract

Academic researchers have developed evidence-based mobile applications to enhance mental health, but few have been widely disseminated. We rated evidence-based applications and commercially popular mental health applications using the Mobile Apps Rating Scale. We identified specific features that can improve the engagement, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of evidence-based apps.
