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 20 screenshots above are IXL - Math, English, & More's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: IXL - Math, English, & More runs a light set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #FCFCFC) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story.
