to identify the fundamental domains and criteria for determining an app ’ s usefulness and rating . After reviewing several app rating guidance documents and tools , we concluded that each app has its own uniqueness for particular categories of application . We took into consideration prior studies on software quality assessment , and emphasized the key software quality characteristics such as usability , reliability , functionality , and efficiency [ 14-17 ] . Our aim was to further build and extend on prior rating tools such as the
Mobile App Rating Scale ( MARS ) [ 13 ] , enduser version of the MARS ( uMARS ) [ 18 ] , and MARS for financial apps ( FinMARS ) [ 19 ], and adapted these to the required evaluation suite for foot measurement apps . With this in mind , we selected the different categorical domains from each rating tool , and proposed an extended version of the mobile app rating tool for foot measurement ( FootMARS ). This rating tool consists of modifications that we hypothesized to be more important for a foot measuring app . FootMARS considers
