- Put the most visually enticing screenshot first. You only have a second to hook your viewer.

- Follow app store screenshot guidelines and size requirements.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Using Low-Resolution Images
Reason: Blurry or pixelated images make your app look unprofessional and unappealing to potential users. The App Store displays screenshots at high resolutions, so low-quality images will be magnified and their imperfections will be highly visible.
Solution: Use high-resolution images (at least 2x the required size) that are crisp and clear.
2. Ignoring Branding Consistency
Reason: Inconsistent branding (colors, fonts, style) across your screenshots makes your app appear disjointed and less trustworthy. Users expect a unified brand experience.
Solution: Maintain consistent branding elements throughout all your screenshots, mirroring your app's design and overall aesthetic.
3. Failing to Highlight Key Features
Reason: Screenshots should showcase the most important and compelling aspects of your app. If they don't clearly communicate value, users will quickly move on.
Solution: Focus each screenshot on a specific key feature or benefit, using clear visuals and concise text to explain its value proposition.
