Interventions translated for delivery through smartphone apps may be one solution towards reducing this treatment gap. However, evidence for the efficacy of smartphones apps for EDs is lacking. We developed a smartphone app based on the principles and techniques of transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral therapy for EDs and evaluated it through a pre-registered randomized controlled trial.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0033291720003426_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Symptomatic individuals (those who reported the presence of binge eating) were randomly assigned to the app (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 197) or waiting list (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 195). Of the total sample, 42 and 31% exhibited diagnostic-level bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder symptoms, respectively. Assessments took place at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks post-randomization. Analyses were intention-to-treat. The primary outcome was global levels of ED psychopathology. Secondary outcomes were other ED symptoms, impairment, and distress.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0033291720003426_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Intervention participants reported greater reductions in global ED psychopathology than the control group at post-test (\n                      <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                      = \u22120.80).
