SnapFlood is a citizen science app that enables people to quickly capture and upload photos and videos of urban floods. The app helps document when and where floods occur, along with their severity, by building a real-time archive of flood-related images and videos. This growing database can support scientific research, engineering solutions, and policy decisions, while also helping municipalities respond more effectively during extreme weather events.

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.

Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
