About this app
A collection of Malayalam Liturgy of the Hours ( Yaama Praarthanakal) and Sacramentals used in the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. For your convenience, the app employs algorithms to determine the prayer combinations to be used for each day (based on the nine Liturgical seasons, position of weeks, and day of the week) and presents you with a ready-to-read fully-composed text off the screen. A mobile ministry of http://praarthana.org, this app has all the seven prayers: Ramsha, Leliya, Sapra, Qala d-Shahra, Qutta aa, Endana and d-Bassa Sayin, as well as al major Sacramentals such as blessings, Oppees etc. The app also includes a convenient night reading mode to help read comfortably in the dark, like when reciting the late night or early morning prayers in solitude. The text size can also be increased or decreased per your convenience, and both these can be accessed via the Floating Act…
App details
What you can learn from SyroMalabar Praarthanakal
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 SyroMalabar Praarthanakal's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: SyroMalabar Praarthanakal runs a light set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #FCF4E4) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #E47C04, 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.
