A 12-week cohort study found that 74% of users who stick with a mental health app report a marked improvement. The correlation does not prove causation, and the study does not control for placebo effects or external support. Many apps bundle CBT-based modules, but the depth and evidence base differ across vendors. Privacy is a critical issue: data shared with third-party analytics can expose sensitive information if consent is not explicit. Developers should audit consent flows, encryption, and data retention. When evaluating an app, weigh the empirical evidence, content quality, and privacy safeguards.
