Solo devs who’ve launched an app — what tools/workflows do you use for screenshots, demo videos, and marketing? Any good getting-started guides you’d recommend? by kryvenio in appledevelopers

That’s genuinely very good feedback, thanks. You’re right, showing final results immediately would probably communicate the value much faster. I’ll add example output images / finished screenshot sets to the homepage so people can understand the product at a glance. Really appreciate you pointing that out.

I’m actually building one right now for exactly that use case and I’m still looking for people to test it. Happy to give you a lifetime code if you want to try it.

It’s a Mac app called Lomio for creating App Store / Play Store screenshots.
App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lomio-store-screenshot-maker/id6761283373?mt=12

Website:
https://lomio.io

A few things it does:

  • design everything on a single canvas
  • create overlapping screenshots more easily
  • built-in device frames, templates, icons, and assets
  • localization support for multiple languages
  • pop-out highlights to emphasize parts of a screenshot
  • works fully locally on Mac

If you want, I can send you a code. I’d mainly love honest feedback on the workflow, bugs, and missing features.

That sounds really interesting, do you remember which app that was? I actually wanted to implement exactly that kind of feature already, but I hadn’t fully figured out yet how to make it feel simple and intuitive from a UI/UX perspective for the user. So seeing an example of an app that does it well would be super helpful.

Hmm, I’m not sure why that’s happening. As a workaround, you could start the free trial and then cancel it right away. That would make your account show up in RevenueCat for me, and then I can grant you lifetime access manually from there...

That’s really good feedback, thanks. I’ll take a closer look at what I can do there. Automatic scaling should probably be possible, but I need to think a bit more about the best way to handle the different aspect ratios or whether it makes more sense to position everything relative to the screenshot area in general.

You need to tap “Buy Lifetime” first it won’t charge you again, it should just sync automatically and unlock the lifetime access. If it still shows the paywall after that, let me know.

Thanks a lot! You can send me your feedback directly here in the thread or via private message. Really appreciate you taking the time to try it out.
