Hillcast scores the mountain forecast for UK hills, so you can see at a glance which one suits the day. Instead of cross-referencing a weather app, a route guide and a map, every hill gets a single 0–100 score based on wind, gusts, temperature, visibility, cloud and ground conditions — with a plain-English summary of what that actually means on the hill. WHAT YOU GET • Conditions scored for over 2,000 hills — Munros, Corbetts, Wainwrights, Nuttalls, Marilyns, Donalds and Fionas • Today, tomorrow and the weekend, plus a 7-day breakdown per hill • Ranked picks so you can see where's best right now • Route guides, OS Maps routes and directions to the parking spot • Terrain warnings for technical ground such as the Cuillin, Crib Goch and the Aonach Eagach • Search by name, browse by area, or find what's near you NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Open it and use it.

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 Hillcast: Munro & Hill Weather's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Hillcast: Munro & Hill Weather runs a light set with one background colour (#FCFCFC) 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, #245C3C, 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.
