4. Enabling your Screenshot Builder

App screenshots are the first images that your clients will see when they click on your app store page. They serve as sneak peeks into your app. It's important that your app screenshots convey the best features of your app and convince clients to download your app.

Here's an example of app screenshots:

With the Screenshot Builder, you now have the ability to choose, customize, and design which app screenshots go into both your Google and Apple app store pages.

Features:

Screenshots for Different Mobile Views (Phone and Tablet)
Different App Scenarios (Learn, Lesson, Discover, and Product Page)
Adding Captions
Color Theme/Picker

To create your screenshots, follow the steps below:

1. log in to your Passion.io account.

2. Go to the Sales Channels section and select the Enable Your Screenshot Builder option under "3. App Details".

3. Enable the Screenshot Builder, then go into each section (Learn, Lesson, Discover, Product) and customize them from there.

4. Select the PREVIEW type you would like for your screenshots. Next you can select the SCENARIO that you'd like to use as a screenshot image for your first screenshot. You will have 4 options. You can then choose which Mobile Device Template to use for the first screenshot and then choose the Caption placement that will go into your app screenshot.

Note: Lesson Screenshots. The system automatically takes a screenshot of the content from the first lesson. If it's a video, the workaround is to add a still image on the first few seconds of the video, so that it will show up instead of a black screen.
