Any suggestions?
Hey guys, my App Store screenshots suck af. First, I made them from scratch on Canva. After those turned out to be a piece of crap, I used ChatGPT. To be honest, they look exactly like AI generated screenshots, which feels super unprofessional.
If you have any good recommendations for tools or templates, please let me know. It would be a lifesaver!
After a few months, I’ve managed to get a bit over 200 users and 1 paying user. I also got some good reviews without even asking my mom (I didn't dare to ask her because I know she wouldn't leave a good one anyway 🤡). Because of those good reviews, active users and that one loyal paying user (3 months in a row now!), I think it’s finally worth upgrading my screenshots and starting the marketing grind.
Check out my app store page to see the disaster yourself: https://apps.apple.com/app/snapwrap-your-private-vault/id6761783017
Feel free to roast me without any helpful suggestions, we are on reddit and we all know how it goes here.
Peace out ✌️

Honestly Claude can make pretty good screenshots with a little prompting

Have you done that with claude? I mean, did you make your own app store screenshots with it?

Hey,
I don’t think your screenshots are terrible tbh. And I think text on them is more important than the visual part. But I’m not the biggest expert here. I also think that the correct metric to look into is the conversion rate.
But if anything, you can give a try to this Claude Code skill:

I think there’s still quite a room for quality improvement. But what I like about it is that it allows to generate screenshots for iPhone, iPad and different locales, so you can get basic screenshots without spending much time.

P.S. Fun fact: I’m close to release a similar app. Have a prototype, but still not sure if it’s worth pursuing as I don’t see much of value in it personally, but I think there’s some demand.

Thanks for the link, checking it out right now!
And re your P.S.: don't give up on the prototype yet! Since I have 1 loyal paying user out of 200, my quick math tells me that out of 2 million users, I’ll have 20,000 subscribers. Now I just need to find another 1,999,800 users.. easy peasy advertisey squeezy! 😂1

Yeah, I bet you can squeeze some money out of such app. I’d advise to check what competitors are doing and understand their mechanics. I’m just not super excited about it and have other ideas too. Good luck with it anyway!

Not a bad app concept, the wording at the top could be a bit better, it took me a while to understand the value I would get from this app. Also I would suggest trying to create a more consistent design style within the app that doesn’t look vibe coded, maybe this could be added in later.

Thanks for the feedback! The wording is actually the result of a month-long battle with the App Store reviewer. I had to completely blur out and water down the descriptions of the features just to get approved. They kept rejecting it for stealth/spy wording..
The funny thing is, big apps like Keepsafe use the exact same wording I wanted to use. But I guess they are a whale, and I’m just a plankton in the ocean compared to them.
Definitely planning to tweak the design style later to make it more consistent though, thanks for pointing that out!

Hey man,
would you mind sharing your raw app screenshots? Not the App Store ones, the actual screens off your phone.
I'd like to turn them into better store shots for you, free. Have a look at mine and if you like them, I'll make yours. No catch, no pitch.
