About this app
The estimated arrival time is dynamically calculated from the GPS of your iPhone or manually determined. The application uses photo-identification to help the process during the daily dismissal of your children. When a request is sent for the preparation of your child, the name and photo of the person assigned to pick your child will appear at the daycare centre. The application allows you to easily manage the photo and info of friends or family members you already authorized to pick up your children at the daycare centre. You click on HopHop when you leave for the daycare centre. The daycare receives the message only at the time necessary for your child to prepare. As an example, if the daycare centre determines that the children's preparation time is ten minutes, the HopHop server will manage to make your call appear only ten minutes from your arrival at the daycare.

What you can learn from HopHop - Parents
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 6 screenshots above are HopHop - Parents's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: HopHop - Parents runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #042C74) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #1C6CFC, 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.
