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 5 screenshots above are BOOM Social's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: BOOM Social runs a light set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #D4B4E4) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story.
