One of the biggest screenshot revamps of this year 🌈
We've partnered with FAMS Parenting App to transform their app and boost their App Store visibility. Our collaboration has led to a brand-new, from-scratch visual identity.
Which screenshot version grabs your attention?
New concept 🌈
Last summer, we teamed up with
@playground_ai
to revamp their app's store presence for their biggest update yet.
We explored various concepts in search of the perfect visual ideas, and we want to share one of our unused ones!
Thoughts on this concept?
Wow!
You’ve crafted a fantastic app with a great product interface.
To improve, focus on the value proposition you want to convey. It’s not clear what you’re selling right now. Try showcasing some use cases visually through photos or illustrations.

You’re doing an important job with this app!
To make your screenshots stand out, consider adding illustrations, bold catchy typo to clearly convey the value proposition, and minimalistic iPhone/watch mockups, as the current ones are a bit distracting.

6 Months 🎉
It’s been half a year since we started our small independent design practice.
We’ve already created over 230 design concepts and A/B tested most of them, consistently winning numerous old vs. new tests (and even designed a book cover 🤯)
Boost conversion by 20% with the first screenshot.
When designing the first app store screenshot in sequence, ensure it conveys the vibe and clear value proposition of your product.
This is crucial for capturing users' attention and showcasing the essence of an app at a glance.
Lovely app!
You’re doing an amazing job so far. The idea of showing how simple tracking days with skies and clouds is great.
For utility apps like this, consider adding illustrations or photos. This can help convey your app’s value more effectively.

Boost Conversions by 20% with First Screenshots
Screenshots don’t have to be boring! Highlight your main feature, not just the app's vibe. If crucial, use two screenshots.
Combine a bold, catchy title with your value prop and product showcase.
New work 🌈
This year, we assisted the team at in testing several hypotheses. While not all resulted in a higher conversion rate, we'd like to highlight our favorite concept.
Why do you think this set of screenshots didn't perform well for the app?
We love the style of Prosper's screenshots!
They have a vibey feel, but personally, I think they lack enough accent.
Incorporating some accents and highlighting the value proposition with the main feature more boldly could make a significant improvement!
Love the simplicity of your shopping list and its unique Carbon Footprint feature!
To stand out in the utilities market, consider adding vivid food illustrations to grab attention and highlight your unique value from the first screenshot.
Example:
Cleo, Simple Fasting etc.

Here’s a design concept we tested with the Lovi app team. We’ve explored various illustrations and will share more soon.
What do you think about this concept?
Love the UI!
It feels so simple and great.
Excellent work!
You could enhance your app's appearance in screenshots: choose simple mockups, highlight the UI, and add some stylistic elements.
Here are some examples for inspiration:
Patterns, Emerald, Grow, Ninja AI
Goalkit's screenshot design is so cool!
Imo, could be improved a bit: reduce number of elements & increase their size, adjust the fade effect for a better feel, and tweak fonts for clearer app proposals.
Dive into more examples for inspiration
From time to time, we brainstorm screenshot concepts for our favorite apps.
Here's a brief overview of the latest concepts we've designed for Amie, Rainbow, Status, and Rabbit.
Which app's screenshots should we explore next? 🌈
Love the app and how simple the screenshots are!
Ideas for the App Store:
Add viby photos for a better feel, simplify screens further, using minimal iPhone mockups.
Check out StockX, Veho Driver, Haptic for inspiration
How do we iterate?
Today
@JPEGuin
released new app store screenshots for his app Race Control.
Let's highlight some of the iterations made in search of the perfect visual direction for this stunning app.
Which set do you like the most?
Love your that simplicity; consider highlighting this in screenshots.
Less social proof; it’s premature and doesn’t build trust. Focus on showcasing the product UI instead.
Reduce text in UI shots, enlarge them to emphasize ease of sharing thoughts.

It’s like GeoGuessr but inverted :)
You could focus the first screenshots on clearly showing how the app works: photo → description of location.

#TipTime
You're doing great!
Love the badges on the first screen, but from experience, one well-focused badge might work better.
Your app is straightforward; focusing on the main feature in the first 2 screenshots with a catchy example + bold value proposition could enhance it
🌈
Lovely app, you’re doing a really great job!
We’re suggesting to improve your minimalistic style by simplifying the screenshots further.
Make the typo big and simple and don’t use mockups. You can also make other elements bigger and less cluttered.

Great ideas for the app!
Minimalistic screenshots are a good start, but they might lack the emotional appeal needed to engage users.
We suggest adding floating elements, vibrant colors, and UI accents to make the app stand out in app stores.

Horizontal Screenshots 💎
Have a compelling app value proposition? Consider A/B testing horizontal screenshots. They're bold, distraction-free, and can be transformative. Often, they yield impressive results.
What are your thoughts on horizontal screenshot sets?

The CR increased by +NN%
New concept for NGL 🌈
We’ve created a few more concepts while updating NGL’s identity to ensure we maximize the impact of the app’s refreshed brand identity.
How do you think this concept performed compared to the current one during our tests?
You’re doing well, but the innovative approach to building a to-do list via flowchart might be hard to understand.
We suggest simplifying the screenshots and presenting the UI in a more creative and straightforward manner.
Attached are a few references🌈
Love the app idea! Clearly, a lot of effort has been put in.
Simplifying the mockup to highlight key features would be great. Including example screenshots on the first screen and using bold typography could enhance it.
We've attached a few examples
Tip:
Screenshots for utility apps should stand out. Sell the main feature, not just the vibe of your app. If a feature is crucial, use 2 screenshots to showcase it.
#ScreenshotsSecrets
Love the direction but the screenshots fail to convey the app's purpose. An early focus on emotions seems less effective.

Bottom is old one, top are the new ones.
I struggle to comprehend why new ones perform worse.
I know I probably changed too many things at once 🥲
I tried to put everything there, humans, social proof, bigger font, colors etc.
Would love some feedback 🙏🏻
You have a great idea to add personality to your AI app.
Try to focus the screenshots more on this advantage and on telling the story of your mascot.
Also, try to design screenshots with big, simple typography and a contrasting background.

🚙 New hero screenshots for DMV Genie
The main thing we focused on in this update is a big photo of a person holding a driver's license.
The hero picture aims to convey that the app is the perfect place for those who are looking to pass the DMV exam.

Lovely app!
Your app icon and screenshots tell a story, but they could be even better.
Consider using a mascot or enhancing the story through the interface.

We love this vibe!
It feels just right for such an app.
However, it seems a bit overcomplicated and hard to recognize what the app is about. We suggest keeping the vibe but playing with the accents!
We’ve attached some references and ideas for minimalist screenshots.
Loving the screenshots, but they feel a bit cluttered.
How about a minimalistic approach, focusing on the essence of the photos? From experience, social proof on screenshots can be a downgrade for social apps.
Highlight the beauty of the rolls instead.

You're doing well!
imo, Utilities apps are tough to compete, try these: add a bold statement in SS1 to convey the app's concept, showcase its best feature (like a copies cleaner), mention big numbers (e.g., saved 1 trillion GB), and include photos in SS1.

Good-looking screenshots!
A few improvements could help:
- ensure the first screenshot clearly shows the value proposition
- less text and bolder typography could help convey your ideas better (rather than just naming features).

Thanks for your incredible support.

You’re doing great so far, massive app, lots of features!
But it seems like the screenshots don’t showcase your app as much as they could.
Suggestions:
- add a bold value proposition
- show the UI more prominently (current mockups isn’t helping)
- add accents
- test light theme
Love the app idea! You’re doing a great job so far!
A few improvement suggestions:
- simplify details to make screenshots clearer
- use more colorful, catchy visuals to convey the value proposition of the Coding Habit Builder

You’re on the right track!
The essence of your value proposition is visually moving in the right direction. However, the screenshots are a bit cluttered. Simplify them with less text, UI, and arrows.

Great job on Bookshelf—love your updates in the screenshots!
Tips to enhance it:
try adding photos to capture the app's vibe, consider making the SS1 title stand out more, and include social proof.
A few example:
Waking Up, Cleo, WorkMade, Hims
@screenshotfirst
About to test a darker color palette and reordered pages for
@get_bookshelf
since my last test was flat–would love to hear your thoughts! 🙏
The visuals are great, but the initial screenshots don’t convey the game’s essence.
Highlight your main value proposition: a one-stop solution with thousands of games.
Also, focus the main photo on the feeling of playing together with friends.
