The use of apps with regard to gender and sex(ualities) has received increased attention due to the recognition of its theoretical importance and practical relevance. However, it is somewhat difficult to navigate the expanded literature as it comes from different disciplines, geographical areas, and contexts. By conducting a scoping review, we concentrate on the social science domain. Through this review, we introduce a typology highlighting the heterogeneity of app use concerning gender and sex(ualities) across different contexts. We point out the four related areas, as an app in the context of dating online, sexual education, gender-based violence, and health. Our review reflects on the apps in the abovementioned contexts and suggests future research avenues.

Abstract
The use of apps with regard to gender and sex(ualities) has received increased attention due to the recognition of its theoretical importance and practical relevance. However, it is somewhat difficult to navigate the expanded literature as it comes from different disciplines, geographical areas, and contexts. By conducting a scoping review, we concentrate on the social science domain. Through this review, we introduce a typology highlighting the heterogeneity of app use concerning gender and sex(ualities) across different contexts. We point out the four related areas, as an app in the context of dating online, sexual education, gender-based violence, and health. Our review reflects on the apps in the abovementioned contexts and suggests future research avenues.Pubblicazioni consigliate
