Only 21.6% of the apps were developed by reliable or authoritative agencies, and the apps’ overall quality was slightly above average based on the criteria of the MARS. Findings showed that the majority of the apps had reference/resource as a feature (95.5%), had health professional students as the target audience (86.4%), and did not focus on specific diseases (78.5%).

Eighty-eight genetics/genomics apps, with the cost ranging from free to $49.99, formed the final sample.

We adapted a validated evaluation scale, Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS), to examine the quality of genetics/genomics apps.

A systematic search of genetics/genomics apps was conducted on Apple Store and Google Play. Thus, in this review, we aimed to identify existing genetic/genomic apps, summarize their characteristics, and examine their quality. Nevertheless, the number and quality of the current apps in genetics/genomics remain unknown. Mobile applications (apps) have been increasingly utilized to access the latest and abundant information related to genetics/genomics for resources, risk assessments, and individualized recommendations.
