The influence of app screenshoton the formation of aesthetic impression
It is extremely important to design the first screenshot of an app because users now download & purchase the app based on visual impression, not on details & textual descriptions.
Main Entry: screen·shotPronunciation: \ˈskrēn-ˌshät\Function: nounDate: 1983
A screen dump, screen capture (or screen-cap), screenshot (or screen shot), screengrab (or screen grab), or print screen is an image taken by the computer user to record the visible items displayed on the monitor, television, or another visual output device. (omitted) Screenshots can be used to demonstrate a program, a particular problem a user might be having, or generally when display output needs to be shown to others or archived.
A frame of television or video footage that is digitized and stored as a still image for subsequent display, editing, or printing.
The first screenshot that you upload is the first screenshot that appears on your app product page on the App Store and the device App Store when viewed from the iPhone and iPod touch. Up to four additional optional screenshots can be uploaded. All subsequent screenshots will appear in numbered order on the App Store, in the same order in which they were uploaded in iTunes Connect. Only Newsstand apps can reorder their screenshots after they have been uploaded.
The different graphic assets we request are used to highlight and promote your application in Google Play, and possibly other Google-owned properties. If you’d like to restrict the marketing of your app to just Google Play, you have the option of opting-out of marketing by selecting the "Marketing Opt-Out" in the Developer Console.
Screenshots (Required):
- We require 2 screenshots.- You may upload up to 8 screenshots. (omitted)
Show off unique and engaging parts of your app, and demonstrate how the app is social. Don't use images that are unrelated, misleading, or dramatically different from what most users experience. Screenshot should not contain marketing copy, bulleted lists of features or calls to action e.g. "Click here to play the game!". Websites with Facebook Login must include at least one screenshot indicating a personalized user experience.
“Visual look and feel of app screenshots are important. However, I have expectation about apps when I look at some app screenshots. because I want to know its function and usefulness from the screenshots. So I think the most important thing is the ability to check out the original interfaces at first.
“Too many information in them, very confused so I don’t know what this app can do. Terrible.”
“Sometimes it looks good because I can see something more visualized infos than just captured image. Noise is much better.”
“In this case, I hate the font they use. And it looks like old-fashioned app so I can’t even feel any attractive emotion. Just creaky.”
“In this case, texts are not crucial elements for understanding its function. Plus, font size is too small so bad readability.”
“It looks, I don’t know but I can understand what it looks like. Not any more.”
“It looks good because of using color of them. Sky blue and yellow look more friendly and comfortable. But I don’t want to download it we have lots of similar apps!”
“Usually I like characters so these screenshots make me positive and happy.
“I don’t understand its layout, if I were designer, I would get rid of the devices but full capture images. Oh, I didn’t recognize the texts on it.”
The factors of making differences visual impressions of app screenshots arecolor, layout, font, quality of image
