About this app
Ever wondered what the rest of the world was like the year you were born? Or why your ‘World History’ course was 90% Western history? 1History is an on-screen globe you can turn through history. Sweep the dial or tap any dot and read what happened then or there — a few sentences from the historical record. Great Zimbabwe and the Magna Carta sit at the same size. Enheduanna, the first author whose name we know, gets the same daylight as the Renaissance. 1History isn't a collection of historical facts.

What you can learn from 1History
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 7 screenshots above are 1History's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: 1History runs a dark set with one background colour (#0C0C14) 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, #84BCD4, 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.
