Professional barometer. You will be able to view the trend of atmospheric pressure in real time, thus forecasting the change in weather. Absolute precision through the parallel operation of different sensors, such as device pressure sensor, GPS sensor, and remote connection to weather stations near you. Re-propose a barometer with an analogue dial, available both with international measurement (hPa) and with Anglo-Saxon measurement (inHg), you can view the weather forecast, the temperature and the percentage of humidity in the air. Very interesting is also the possibility to take a photo with the superimposed weather data and some effects that can be activated in certain weather conditions and share them with the most famous social networks: facebook, whatsapp, instagram, email etc.
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 14 screenshots above are Professional Barometer's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Professional Barometer runs a light set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #DCDCDC) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #A4041C, 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.
