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.

What the numbers say: CDS Journey runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #141414) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story.
