This study aims to examine and analyse papers related to medical app evaluation across various platforms.
It also attempted to explore academic problems, motives, and suggestions linked to quality evaluations and current best practices in Systematic Review Writing.
INTRODUCTION Mobile applications have attracted a lot of attention in recent years.
Their everyday usage has become established in the lives of people worldwide, with estimates putting the number of app users at about
2.5 billion in 2019.
Applications built to run on mobile devices are referred to as mobile apps.

The quantity and popularity of these applications are

Because
of their popularity, apps include a wide range of content, including business, education, medical, gaming, sports, and more.
To evaluate app content, a systematic or quality evaluation is required.
Such evaluations need considerably more than just knowledge and expertise, and they are frequently time-consuming and technically challenging.

In the literature, several patterns have been discovered, and the articles that have been recognised have been divided into two groups.
Challenges, reasons, and recommendations fall under the
first category
related to dialogue.
The second category is concerned with the methodological elements of app evaluation.
Such contributions would help in a better understanding and progression of the subject. Then, different applications were focused on other app evaluation purposes, and various academics were involved.
