IMLeagues Is Changing The World Of Collegiate Recreation! Intramurals - Clubs - Fitness Getting better and better! In a few short months we've built this entire app, and there's lots more to come! What We Do For Participants: IMLeagues makes playing intramurals, fitness, and club sports much more fun for participants by giving them access to a vast array of interactive features, essentially turning each participant into a fantasy player with lifetime stats, trophies, and achievements! What We Do For Administrators: Used by over 95% of collegiate intramural sports programs (and now fitness and club sports programs too!), IMLeagues gives recreation department staff the ability to set up sports leagues, schedule games, track players and statistics, run Greek life/group leagues, send mass notifications on cancellations, make changes from any internet connected computer, and more.
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 13 screenshots above are IMLeagues's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: IMLeagues runs a light set with one background colour (#FCFCFC) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #04244C, 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.
