About this app
Global News Map shows the wars and armed conflicts in the news on a live globe: who is fighting, who is backing whom, where attacks are landing and what it is doing to people. Every hour, reports from established outlets (BBC, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, DW, CBC, NPR, the UN, the Red Cross and more) are read and turned into the map. Every attack and development links to its source article, with a label explaining whether it has been checked against that article. Casualty figures include checked quotes and their sources. • Dedicated Map, Headlines, Conflicts, Chat and Settings pages • Community discussion with replies, mentions, reporting, hiding and account deletion • Source perspectives and customisable conflict context • Conflicts coloured by status: escalating, active, easing, ceasefire, frozen • Attacks of the last week replayed on the map, occupied territory in Ukraine, military ai…
App details
What you can learn from Global News Map
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 Global News Map's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Global News Map runs a dark set with one background colour (#141414) 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, #644C1C, 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.
