METHODS: In this study, we compared and verified the features of 10 apps for reporting violence in schools. We used a benchmarking tool for integrative review of these mobile apps.

RESULTS: There were 13 apps on the Google Play platform, 11 apps in the App Store, and 5 apps on both platforms, totaling 19 apps. We selected 10 apps for comparative analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Through benchmarking, we determined the relevant features of the apps with recommendations for improving app development in the future.
