As mobile health applications continue to proliferate without clear regulation, the need for app evaluation frameworks to offer guidance to patients and clinicians also expands. However, this expanding number of app evaluation frameworks itself can be a source of confusion and often contradictory recommendations. In pursuit of better frameworks that offer innovation for app evaluation, we present 4 challenges that app evaluation frameworks must overcome as well as examples from our own experience toward overcoming them. The recommendations are applicable to all health apps from any field of medicine, although we use examples from mental health as they are illustrative.
