Most navigation apps answer one question: what is the fastest way there? HaloMaps adds the question South African drivers ask first. Which way is safer? Enter your destination and HaloMaps scores each route from 0 to 100, then puts the fastest, the safest and a balanced option side by side so the trade-off is yours to make. It runs on a simple idea: neighbors looking out for one another. Every incident a driver reports becomes a heads-up for the next person on that road. HOW THE SAFETY SCORE WORKS • An official baseline. Published South African Police Service quarterly crime statistics for the areas a route passes through. • A live community layer. Incidents reported in the app by drivers around you: hijackings, smash-and-grabs, protests and road debris. • Weighted, not guessed.

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 8 screenshots above are HaloMaps's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.

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.
