With the availability of many child sexual abuse (CSA) education apps in different app stores, the demand for an evaluation system has become necessary as little information regarding their evidence-based quality is available.The objectives of this study are understanding the requirements of a CSA education app, identifying the limitations of existing apps, and providing a guideline for better app design. An electronic search across three major app stores (Google Play, Apple, and Microsoft) is conducted and the selected apps are rated by three independent raters. Total 191 apps are found and finally, 14 apps are selected for review based on defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. An app rating scale for CSA education apps is devised by modifying existing scales and used to evaluate the selected 14 apps. Our rating scale evaluates essential features, criteria, and software quality characteristics that are necessary for CSA education apps, and determined their effectiveness for potential use as CSA education programs for children. The internal consistency of the rating scale and the inter and intra-rater reliability among the raters are also calculated. User comments from the app stores are collected and analyzed to understand their expectations and views. After analyzing the feasibility of reviewed apps, CSA app design considerations are proposed that highlight game-based teaching approaches. Evaluation results showed that most of the reviewed apps are not suitable for being used as CSA education programs. While a few may be able to teach children and parents individually, only the apps "Child Abuse Prevention" (rate 3.89 out of 5) and "Orbit Rescue" (rate 3.92 out of 5) could be deemed suitable for a school-based CSA education program. However, all those apps need to be improved both their software qualities and CSA-specific features for being considered as potential CSA education programs. This study provides the necessary knowledge to developers and individuals regarding essential features and software quality characteristics for designing and developing CSA education apps.

“…Transparency is a critical component of every mobile app. No app would be trusted unless it has sufficient credibility (Corral et al, 2014). Thus, the sub-scale of transparency in terms of user consent, the accuracy of the store description, the validity of the source, and the practicality of fulfilling the stated goals, must all be considered.…”

Mobile applications are designed and developed to run on a mobile device. The overwhelming adoption of mobile device technology, the rapid advancement of mobile devices and the significance of the Internet in today's society have shifted how businesses and consumers interact. The shift has subsequently upset mobile software programming enormously. The education sector has not been left behind on the adoption of mobile devices. For a mobile app to publication in an app store, the developers must meet the quality requirements of the store. To obtain the requirements, we surveyed four major app stores by leveraging the ISO/IEC 25010 quality standard to ensure the fulfillment of the quality requirements from the mobile app stores. We used the cross-sectional methodology strategy thus conducted the study within a limited time frame. Once an app is published in an app store, it becomes accessible to the entire universe of users. Mobile app developers should be familiar with the quality control requirements to develop acceptable apps. The purpose of this paper was to survey and identify the most relevant quality requirements set up by mobile applications The study found, Usability, Performance, Maintainability and Support categories were the most important
