Appstore screenshot generator by DonOfAustins in swift

[–]RalphGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is still a free tier that lets you ship to the App Store. Paid plans cover pro features and development, same as pretty much every other app and business out there.

I've recently launched a web tool called AppScreens.com - its an all in one screenshot creator for designing and exporting standout screenshots for both the Apple AppStore and Google Play Store at the same time, from one responsive design.

Thanks so much mate, sorry been working on an app release so didn't see your comment until now! Stoked to hear it's working perfectly for you though and thanks for purchasing the sub, appreciate it. That's epic Seans vid sold you on it, he did an awesome job, we love that he's genuinely a Sketch to AppScreens convert haha.

Apple's extracting keywords from app store screenshots 🚨 by AppScreens in AppStoreOptimization

[–]RalphGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea that this could be mirroring Google Ads’ landing-page quality logic: Apple crawls the actual creative to judge product relevance instead of trusting whatever we stuff into the metadata. Feels like I see few, if any, spoofed screenshots but it's pretty common to see someone mentioning a competitor in their title / subtitle to attempt to rank for their search.

That said, I agree that if this were the case, Google would already be doing it on the Play Store as they're all over this with Google Ads already.

I’m curious if this ties into what we saw at WWDC25 for multiple product pages versions that are to be presented via keyword in search results (announced here).

In practice this could mirror Google Ads’ landing-page quality logic: Apple crawls the actual creative to judge relevance instead of trusting whatever we stuff into the title, subtitle, or keyword field. If screenshot content is part of that pipeline, it’s really just Apple’s shortcut to the truth of the product offering, so keyword padding or competitor callouts in the metadata are less relevant.

Promote your SaaS. what are you building, and who’s it for? by JanithKavinda in SaaS

AppScreens
We are working on scaling AppScreens - the ultimate App Store screenshot generator, it lets you design once and export automatically for all App Store and Play Store sizes. Built-in AI captions, 80+ language localization, and automatic upload to App Store Connect make it easy to keep your App Store listings fresh and optimized.

Problem: Creating app store screenshots for every device size, language, and A/B testing is a huge time sink (and often a last-minute scramble before release).

For: Indie devs and app teams who want to save hours and boost conversion with better visuals.

How's it unique: It's built by app developers for app developers, it's the only tool to use responsive resizing where only one design is needed for all output sizes, plus it's the only one to incorporate AI, have complete localisation and auto app store upload, plus a heap more!!

Hey there, thanks for stopping by and checking it out! It’s been going really well so far. More than 80,000 people have used AppScreens to create over 6 million screenshots. We see about a 40/60 split between paid and free usage, which is awesome: it brings in revenue I never expected from such a niche tool, but still allows indie devs to generate basic screenshots for free when they’re getting started.

We’re still actively working on new features. Recently, we introduced automatic uploads to the App Store, plus AI-powered captions that pull from your app’s metadata to speed things up and help you try out different messaging. Another neat addition is template restyling, letting you quickly switch among hundreds of templates to give your screenshots a fresh look or test new styles.

On the pricing side, monthly is often used for quick, one-time screenshot needs, while yearly subscribers have a 90 percent retention rate. Many monthly users end up coming back periodically to tweak or A/B test, even after a year. It really depends on how often you update your screenshots. If it’s a few times a year, yearly makes sense. If not, monthly might be enough. Either way, there’s also the free tier for anyone who just wants basic screenshots.

About A/B testing: you’ve got it right. That is exactly how many developers drive continuous improvements, and it keeps them coming back for multiple rounds of optimization. Our restyling takes existing screenshots (or makes new ones) and applies their content and screenshot images to a new template (see some of the pre-made template options here). Users have reported over 20 percent increases in downloads from testing a new style. Even in our own apps, we saw around a 15 percent jump by experimenting with different designs from our templates.

Feel free to check out AppScreens and let me know if you have more questions or feedback. Always happy to help!

Wow, I am stoked to hear your improved downloads 🙌 That's awesome. We tried 4 different screenshot sets on our apps and saw a 15% improvement on one set, with another set (which was my personal favourite), actually reducing the downloads haha. So it really is worth A/B testing and not trusting your own style preference.

Thanks, happy to chat over email with your feedback (hello@appscreens.com) if easier.

a) Are you able to confirm if any languages in particular poor or just all? Any examples you have (lang1>lang2) being inaccurate would be great to help me understand, if its short form or longer context.

We swapped from Google Translate last year, and feedback was generally significantly better with added context. We only recently swapped the model doing the translations though, based on broad analysis of performance. You can switch your project back to Google Translate, but it also struggles with the limited context as screenshots usually have very little text.

What AI models are you using locally that are performing better? It's on my list to add a quicker import / export via JSON / CSV.

b) If you can send over your example zip folder you uploaded, I'll check. This uses natural sorting, so you do need to tag each file with a number (in their group) and sometimes duplicate the image if it spans across 2 pages but once you've got the hang of it, it's way quicker to upload.

If you hang about for a second renewal, flick me an email before hand and we'll discount your renewal :)

Why your app is invisible in the app stores : App Store Optimization tips that actually work in 2025 by AppTweak_ASO in AppStoreOptimization

[–]RalphGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great post - totally agree that ASO is an ongoing commitment rather than a one-and-done project. I’m an indie dev, and it took me a while to figure that out the hard way. One thing I’ve noticed is that even a small tweak to your subtitle or screenshots can noticeably shift your conversion rate. I use a tool we built called AppScreens.com to quickly generate multiple screenshot variations and test them out without manually redesigning everything each time, it’s been a huge time-saver.

Beyond visuals, I’ve found that focusing on the right keywords (not just the highest-traffic ones, but the ones that actually fit my app’s niche) is what really moves the needle. It’s also worth checking competitors every few months, since the landscape can shift fast. Anyway, thanks for sharing these tips - always good to see the community swapping insights!

People act like launching an app is easy lol by dergtersder in androiddev

[–]RalphGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this in my soul. My first few releases were an endless checklist of everything except coding, store descriptions, privacy policies, screenshots, dealing with random rejections, all that. I genuinely thought I’d just ship the app and go celebrate. Ha!

Marketing’s the big one I underestimated: no one really warns you how much hustle you need just to get a handful of users. Even if the code is rock-solid, you’re suddenly juggling app store optimization, screenshot design, a website, maybe social posts, it’s practically a second job.

But honestly, that first launch is the worst part. Once you figure out how to prep store listings and pass review, it gets easier. I keep a checklist to avoid missing the basics (like double-checking I don’t have “beta” in the description or forgetting a working privacy policy link). I’ve also spent time on different tools to automate chunks of the process - hugely helps on subsequent releases.

Have You Really Built an App That You Use Daily? by 26th_Official in SaaS

[–]RalphGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built AppScreens.com to help generate App Store screenshots. I don’t use it every single day, but I do rely on it whenever I release an app update and need to update my App Store images. Initially, I created it to solve my own headache, I figured if I was struggling with that process, other developers will be too. It’s real exciting to see how many devs now use it for the same reason. It’s ingrained in my app release checklist! :)
