About this app
Gutebad är en app som får sin information om väderförhållanden från användarna. Det är användarnas rapporter om väderförhållanden, badtemperatur och algblomningsnivån observerade på olika badplatser som gör appen. Vem som helst kan använda appen för att få information om läget på olika platser men bara de som befinner sig i badplatsens område kommer att kunna rapportera väderlek, badtemperatur eller algblomning. Appen visar också en väderprognos för varje badplats. Observera att appen använder sig av lokaliseringsuppgifter (geolocation-funktionaliteten) från din iPhone eller iPad vilket kräver användarens tillåtelse. Då en lägesrapport ska rapportras, tas din iPhone eller iPads ID, detta för att kunna ta statistic på unika uppgiftslämnare samt eventuellt blocka vissa. Gutebad is a weather app which compiles all its information about the weather, water temperature and bloom conditions…
App details
What you can learn from Gutebad
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 8 screenshots above are Gutebad's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Gutebad runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #5C742C) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #5C8CCC, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
