Taste Test
Just wrapped up a client's App Store screenshot redesign.
The original screenshots showed the app, but they weren't really communicating why someone should download it.
The UI was there, the product was there, But the story wasn't.
So I reworked the screenshots to make the value clearer, give each screen a purpose, and make the whole listing feel more like one experience.
Here’s the Before vs. After
Which one would make you stop and explore the app?

Thank you
Well done🔥
Thank you Sekinat
i appreciate that
The after feels much stronger. It actually tells the story instead of just showing the UI. Nice work!
exactly the aim, thank you Kabir
After
I appreciate that Dera
You did a Great Job
Thank you man
After is Best!
I will go with that too, thanks man
Thank you for the Goat Runo 🎊
For me the After wins because you led each frame with the value instead of the interface. That reorder is what turns an App Store listing from a UI tour into an actual reason to download.
Yes, that's the goal of my redesign to communicate value, Thank you Asif

Thank you Keemie
Absolutely agree—screenshots should sell the story, not just show the UI. What’s the first thing you look for when judging an app listing?
great work
Thanks man
Excellent work!!!
I appreciate
Leading with the reason to download instead of the interface is what most store screenshots miss, and your after set nails it in the first two frames. The value carries the decision before anyone reaches the UI.
Thank you for this,
i appreciate
Very nice!

the two intros feel very different. which one won?
Attention is your strongest currency.
Most people never ask what they’ve been funding with it. Tithe is the first app built for the people who finally set the price.
Onboarding isn't for instructions it's for setting the tone.
This is a really strong approach to onboarding. The raw imagery combined with that bold copy makes it feel much more like a manifesto than a standard app tutorial.
Kogy — AI Companion Toy / UI/UX Design
Designed the landing page for Kogy — a plush, keychain-sized AI companion that learns, plays, and keeps you company throughout the day.
The tricky part with products like this: lean too techy and you lose the cuteness, lean too cute and it stops feeling like a real smart device. So instead of the usual soft-pastel illustration route, I let real hero-scale photography of the plush character carry the whole page — its actual texture, its little smile, its scale as a keychain — wrapped in bold, high-contrast orange and oversized type.
A small character-selector strip (Lumi, Mochi, Poppy) hints at collectibility, and a live scrolling stat ticker at the bottom (questions answered, active companions) keeps it grounded as a real AI device, not just a toy.
Genuinely one of the more fun briefs I've worked on.
The live stat ticker (questions answered, active companions) is what sells the AI-device framing here, not the photography — a plush toy with a counter reads as a running system, not a static product shot.
