4. Enabling your Screenshot Builder

App screenshots are the first images your clients will see when they click on your app store page. They serve as sneak peeks into your app. Your app screenshots must 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 can now choose, customize, and design the app screenshots that appear on 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 four options. You can choose which Mobile Device Template to use for the first screenshot and select 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. 

5. Once you edit your screenshots, you can publish your apps. Please allow 1 hour for the updated screenshots to appear in the app stores. 

So that you know, always submit the newest version of your App with the adjustments in the Screenshot Builder so your Screenshots will be up to date.

  • You can always submit the newest version of your App with the adjustments in the Screenshot Builder so your Screenshots will be up to date.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


  • Do I have to fill in all the App Details? Is it required?

We strongly suggest that you complete all details in the App Details tab. This will speed up the review process for publishing your app to Apple and Google. Missing details may cause delays and questions from Apple/Google during the review and approval process.
