User quality ratings data were collected using the User Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale (u MARS) [4]. There were twice as many recruited female participants (n=26) as male participants (n=13). Co-researchers were older (mean 13.8, SD 0.4 years) than pilot study participants (mean 12.7, SD 0.4 years). Most co-researchers used the app for 5-10 minutes (8/15, 53%); most pilot study participants used it every day or on most days (13/24, 55%).
