The findings of this review indicate that, while a wide range of family caregiver apps are now available across the mHealth landscape, most apps offer limited functionality. Therefore, there is a need for multi-functionality to avoid the inherent challenges that caregivers may experience when navigating and managing multiple apps to meet all their various needs. Moreover, as this specific niche continues to develop, greater attention should be devoted to supporting family caregivers' own personal care needs as caregiver burden is a pressing challenge.
