If your App Store Screenshots aren’t engaging and informative, are they even working? A good screenshot set should tell users everything they need to know about the app in a manner that keeps them interested and wanting more – almost like a speech.
App Store Screenshots provide a first look at the UI, features and core values of an app. In the case of Ecosia, a web browser designed to raise money for planting trees and helping the planet, its screenshots should convey its goal while showcasing its functionality. If the screenshots can do this, users will gain a more thorough understanding of the app and are more likely to convert. As today is Earth Day and Ecosia is one of Apple’s top featured apps for the day, our App Store Spotlight will take a look at its App Store Screenshots on the App Store and Play Store.
The app description serves an important role in informing users about how an app works, what it provides and how much it might cost. An up-to-date description lets users see how an app is relevant to their current needs and ongoing events. This is particularly pertinent for news apps such as Curio, an app that provides audio journalism and is currently featured as an “App of the Day” in the App Store. For today’s App Store Spotlight, we take a look at Curio’s description and see how well it follows App Store Optimization best practices.
An App Store Screenshot will perform well if it can catch user attention at a glance, inform users about the app and connect to their search queries. Most screenshots do this with detailed imagery or informative callout text.

For today’s App Store Spotlight, we look at Teamfight Tactics and analyze its screenshots for App Store Optimization.
What makes a good App Store Video? The video should showcase the best qualities of the app, utilize text and music to inform and engage users and follow the guidelines for both stores.

An App Description should be easy to read, informative and engaging. Updating descriptions for current events, seasonality and specials can keep the app timely and users informed.

An App Store Screenshot is an opportunity to visually present an app while describing its functionality.

For today’s App Store Spotlight, we look at Pigment’s App Store Screenshots and see how they present the app to its users.
The App Store Video shows an app in action, letting users see what they can get from it in a visually engaging way. Apps and mobile games can benefit from including videos on their app store listings, as a good video can help improve conversions.

The App Description can delve into an app’s features and details, draw users in with promises of exciting gameplay and highlight what users and critics think.

The game developers recently made it free to download, so how can they use the description to highlight its value and bring in new users?
App Store Screenshot best practices guide app developers on how to best present their app to users. Good screenshots can help improve the clickthrough rate (CTR) and conversions for an app, while poor screenshots fail to convey the benefits of the app or can even repel users.

The App Description provides key information about an app to its potential users. The description should be clear and easy to read, provide in-depth information about the app features and be written with the ranking algorithm and store listing display each store in mind. For today’s App Store Spotlight, we take a look at the description for Marco Polo, a communications app available on iOS and Android devices, to see how its description is formatted for each store.
An App Store Video can show users what makes an app useful or a mobile game fun. Good videos can improve conversions with engaging footage, music and descriptive text.
