About this app
About this version This is a completely new edition of the Orchids of Tasmania app. It was rebuilt to work on modern devices and to reflect ongoing changes in the names and classification of Tasmanian orchids. The app looks and functions differently from the previous version as it now runs on the LUCID® platform. Dedication This app is dedicated to Hans & Annie Wapstra for their more than 50 years of pioneering work on Tasmanian native orchids — surveying, describing new species, and co-authoring the publication The Orchids of Tasmania in 1999. Acknowledgements The primary authors of this version are Malcolm Wells and Mark Wapstra. However, it was not undertaken alone.

App details
What you can learn from Orchids of Tasmania
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 20 screenshots above are Orchids of Tasmania's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Orchids of Tasmania runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #040404) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #C4A404, 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.
