Apex GP is a ride telemetry app built around one flow: start a session, see live GPS speed, G‑load, and a map on a clear dashboard that works in portrait and landscape. Choose car to jump straight in, or motorcycle—after a short phone stabilization pass you also get lean angles (pitch and roll) alongside G‑force and the route. Sprint-style interval timers and speed-threshold cues help you read the moment without hunting for small numbers, and you can tap to hide chrome when you want a cleaner full-screen view. Motion-based values depend on the iPhone’s sensors; if the screen is off or the app is in the background, the system may pause motion while GPS and the track can often keep recording—worth knowing before you rely on every channel. When you finish, Apex GP opens a post-ride summary: duration, average and peak speed, and average / peak |g| with sensible handling at crawl speeds. Yo…
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 4 screenshots above are Apex GP's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Apex GP runs a dark set with one background colour (#04040C) 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, #443C8C, 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.
