There's still very little evidence that health apps work

A group of researchers from the Centre for Research in Evidence-Based Practice at Bond University in Queensland, Australia conducted the study, which was published in Nature's new Digital Medicine journal. 

This is their findings:

"Smartphone popularity and mHealth apps provide a huge potential to improve health outcomes for millions of patients," the researchers wrote. "However, we found only a small fraction of the available mHealth apps had been tested and the body of evidence was of very low quality. Our recommendations for improving the quality of evidence and reducing research waste and potential harm in this nascent field include encouraging app effectiveness testing prior to release, designing less biased trials, and conducting better reviews with robust risk of bias assessments. Without adequate evidence to back it up, digital medicine and app 'prescribability' might stall in its infancy for some time to come."
