Hotspots is how you find what's happening around you and meet the people you already cross paths with. Anyone 18 and over can join with any email address. You know the feeling. The same faces at the gym, in the coffee line, at the pool, at the party. Your people are already all around you. You just never had a reason to say something. Hotspots gives you one. SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING See where people are gathering right now, the spots, the events, where the energy is, so you always know where to be. MEET WHO YOU CROSS PATHS WITH Live your normal day and Hotspots quietly notices the people you come near. The people you crossed show up afterward, so you can finally connect with the people you keep almost-meeting. FIND YOUR PEOPLE Friends, your crew, and yes, maybe more. However you want to connect, start with the people who are actually around you, not strangers three states away. ANY EMA…
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 Hotspots - See Who's Nearby's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Hotspots - See Who's Nearby runs a dark set with one background colour (#040404) 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, #74344C, 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.
