About this app
Au-dessus de toi, à cet instant précis, deux mille milliards de galaxies tournent dans le silence. Une étoile mourante crache sa dernière lumière depuis trois mille ans avant d'arriver jusqu'à ta rétine. Une comète revient pour la première fois depuis l'époque romaine. Sept astronautes mangent leur dîner à quatre cents kilomètres au-dessus de ta tête, et leur Station traversera ton ciel dans onze minutes, exactement. Le ciel n'a jamais été vide. C'est qu'on ne savait pas regarder. Sirius a été pensé pour ça. L'application sait où tu es, à quelle heure le Soleil tombera, où la Lune se lèvera, quels nuages s'invitent demain et combien de lumière ta ville rejette dans l'atmosphère. Elle croise ta position GPS, la météo locale, l'atlas mondial de pollution lumineuse, la magnitude de chaque objet et le matériel que tu possèdes, à l'œil nu, aux jumelles, au télescope, pour ne te raconter q…

What you can learn from Sirius Stars
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 6 screenshots above are Sirius Stars's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Sirius Stars runs a dark set with one background colour (#040404) 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, #9C845C, 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.
