About this app
Is today a good tide? Pick your port and see it in about 3 seconds. Shiodoki is a tide chart that instantly shows the tide curve, high/low times, tide name, moon age, and the dawn/dusk windows for the port you pick. See at a glance whether today is a spring or neap tide, and whether the water is rising or falling. Everything an angler in Japan needs on one screen: the tide name (spring, middle, neap, long, young), moon age, sunrise/sunset, and the dawn/dusk windows. Choose text size Standard / Large / Extra Large, with light and dark themes.

What you can learn from Shiodoki: Japan Tide Charts
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 Shiodoki: Japan Tide Charts's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.

The accent colour we picked up, #1C648C, 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.
