Digital mental health: Longitudinal trends in the quality, effectiveness and attributes of highly rated smartphone health apps

This study aims to offer a longitudinal perspective on the nature of high visibility apps for common mental health and physical health conditions. Methods: In July 2019, we selected the 10 top search-returned apps in the Apple App Store and Android Google Play Store using six keyword terms: depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, addiction, high blood pressure and diabetes. Each app was downloaded by two authors and reviewed by a clinician, and the app was coded for features, functionality, claims, app store properties, and other properties.
