The NanoBeacon BLE Scanner is an advanced Bluetooth LE scanner app. Unlike offerings from other vendors and developers, our main focus is on presenting the advertising/broadcast data transmitted by surrounding BLE peripherals and beacons in the most user-friendly manner. By combining it with the NanoBeacon IN100 Bluetooth beacon development kit, you unlock a whole new level of advanced functionality not possible in any other platform! The NanoBeacon IN100 is our ultra low power, ultra low cost, BLE beacon platform that you can configure from a connected PC app with no programming or writing a single line of code. After you’ve configured the device, you can then import that same configuration into the app with a simple QR code scan. Now the app will not only find your device, but also fully parse the advertising data and display it in a human readable format that actually makes sense!…
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 9 screenshots above are NanoBeacon BLE Scanner's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: NanoBeacon BLE Scanner runs a dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #242424) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #54BCFC, 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.
