About this app
This app provides a simple and intuitive way to view weather information for your location in Canada. It gives you the current observed conditions, an hourly forecast for the next 24 hours, a 7 day forecast, and an animated radar map showing precipitation. The functionality and design tries to replicate an old style weather app. This app uses publicly available data provided by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). However the app is not affiliated with or endorsed by ECCC in any way.
App details
What you can learn from AltWeatherCAN
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 7 screenshots above are AltWeatherCAN's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: AltWeatherCAN runs a light set with one background colour (#FCFCFC) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #2C54AC, 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.
