Reviewer 2 Report

This paper presents an approach (systematic review and model presentation) regarding 2 intersting research questions:

  1. Which requirements and risks in dealing with apps are demanded or perceived by the users?

  2. How can sustainability be recognized and integrated in app development? 

Some sentences begin with reference. Must improve that. EX: "[5]. [6] stated,.." or ". [16] stated,".

Table 1, in each row must have also the reference to the corresponding paper, since in section 3 references are the link to the 25 studies.

Before conclusions it is recommended a section about possible  limitations of this systematic review / study.

in the abstract is that "..., it will be investigated how sustainability can be integrated into app development". It would be important to have in the conclusions  a more clear presentation about how it can be integrated into app development.

In conclusions must be more clear the answer to both research questions presented in the end of section 1.
