Objective: to map mobile apps for care in heart failure. Method: this is a scoping review based on the method proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The following research question was used: which mobile apps on heart failure are used by health professionals, people with heart failure and their family/caregivers? Health bases and portals were analyzed through the search with the descriptors "Heart Failure", "Mobile Applications", "Patients", "Health Personnel", "Family" and "Caregivers" and the keyword "Applications". Forty-seven studies were selected for analysis. Results: a total of 47 published studies were analyzed, which allowed mapping 39 mobile applications from four continents, among which 20 (51.3%) were intended for co-management and 19 (48.7%) had as target population patients and health professionals; 23 (58.9%) applications did not use theoretical framework for its construction. The prevalent theme and resources involved daily care (36; 92.3%) and data management (37; 94.9%), respectively. Conclusion: the themes and resources of the applications assisted patients, family members and professionals in heart failure management. However, a gap was identified in several themes involving individuals and their surroundings, essential for comprehensive care.
