“The MARS will be a comfort to parents and professionals in making informed choices about the use of apps.”
Associate Professor Leanne Hides, who led the project, said, “The MARS is a game-changer for our modern, app-centric lives. Researchers and app developers will benefit from having a reliable tool to help them create high quality apps.
