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 17 screenshots above are Vanguard: Save, Invest, Retire's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Vanguard: Save, Invest, Retire runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #C4042C) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story.
