Performance Test is a companion app for the VBOX Sport which uses a high accuracy GPS receiver to enhance the capabilities of your iPhone. This app requires a connection to a VBOX Sport to collect performance data. Without this connection you will only be able to see a demonstration of its capabilities, it will not allow you to measure the performance of your car. The VBOX Sport collects GPS data much more frequently than a phones internal GPS engine - allowing a level of accuracy previously unheard of with iPhone and iPad apps. Our Performance Test app uses this data to provide you with your vehicle's acceleration, deceleration and VMAX as previously only possible with professional Racelogic VBOX equipment. You can quickly and accurately measure your 0-60 acceleration time, turn your test track into a dragstrip and measure your 1/4 mile time and trap speed. Different modes allow you…
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 accent colour we picked up, #84141C, 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.
