About this app
SunLocation is an app that lets you know the current sun location and altitude. If there is a compass, the directions are synchronized. You might want to watch the Super Moon, take a photo, move, go out or look at the sky. If the position is different, the compass is interfering. Please adjust the position with the compass app and try again. The altitude is displayed in the center. Add-on (Add moon position and phases and hide ads) - The ad will be hidden. - You can display the month position and age. - Tap the center to switch between sun and moon altitudes at any time. - You can see the altitude graph of the sun and the moon. - You can see the distance graph of the moon. Enjoy !
App details
What you can learn from SunLocation
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 10 screenshots above are SunLocation's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: SunLocation runs a dark set with one background colour (#1C1C2C) 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, #EC8C4C, 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.
