About this app
Die offizielle App der Gedenkstätte Buchenwald. 1937 errichteten die Nationalsozialisten auf dem Ettersberg unweit der Stadt Weimar das Konzentrationslager Buchenwald. Bis Kriegsende inhaftierte die SS hier und in den zahlreichen Außenlagern mehr als eine Viertelmillion Menschen aus nahezu allen Ländern Europas. Ab August 1945 nutzte die sowjetische Besatzungsmacht Teile des ehemaligen Konzentrationslagers als eines ihrer Speziallager. Nach dessen Auflösung Anfang 1950 errichtete die DDR auf dem Ettersberg ein Nationaldenkmal. Heute steht der Name "Buchenwald" wie kaum ein anderer für die Vielschichtigkeit der deutschen und europäischen Geschichte im 20. Jahrhundert. Die App bietet einen Rundgang durch das ehemalige Lagergelände und einen Rundgang durch die Dauerausstellung zur Geschichte des KZ Buchenwald. Beide Rundgänge können Sie individuell gestalten. Im Lagergelände erhalten Sie…

What you can learn from Buchenwald
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 16 screenshots above are Buchenwald's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Buchenwald runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #545C6C) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #DCA44C, 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.
