BallSolar turns the solar system into a playground you can hold in your hands. Spin through richly rendered 3D planets, learn real facts, test yourself, build your own worlds, and even drop a miniature solar system onto your kitchen table in AR — all in one beautiful, ad-free app. Everything you see is generated in real time: the swirling Sun, banded gas giants, Saturn's rings, drifting moons, the asteroid belt, and glowing comet tails. No two launches look quite the same. EXPLORE • Orbit, pinch, and pan around all 8 planets, the Sun, and the Moon • Tap any planet or moon for fun facts — diameter, day length, moons, and more • Watch Jupiter's Galilean moons, Saturn's rings, the asteroid belt, and comets in motion • Flip to True Scale to feel just how staggeringly empty space really is QUIZ • Quick multiple-choice rounds that test your planet knowledge • Some questions are answered by…
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 BallSolar's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: BallSolar runs a dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #04040C) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #0C348C, 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.
