El incremento del uso de los teléfonos móviles inteligentes y aplicaciones para los mismos ha llevado a su utilización para la prevención y tratamiento de problemas de salud. Dada la elevada prevalencia de los trastornos de ansiedad, el objetivo de este artículo es realizar una revisión de las aplicaciones disponibles en Argentina para este problema clínico. Se realizó una búsqueda de las aplicaciones que incluyeran “ansiedad” o “estrés” en su descripción. Se incluyeron aquellas creadas por profesionales de la salud, basadas en un modelo psicológico, y accesibles en español. Se hallaron cinco aplicaciones, ninguna desarrollada en Argentina. Dos aplicaciones se presentaron como meras plataformas de conversación (chat) con psicólogos. Se describen las tres aplicaciones móviles propiamente dichas y se discuten sus características. En concordancia con otros estudios, las aplicaciones no poseen estudios de eficacia. Se destaca la necesidad de desarrollar aplicaciones móviles argentinas para personas afectadas por trastornos de ansiedad.
