The second style is a screenshot-only, without the phone profile, laid on top of a background. Typically captions are placed at the top of a screenshot for better visibility, but we can see that the placement here is meant not to obscure the UI, hence the caption is at the bottom. We see that Word Cookies does use captions in their screenshot, overlaid on the bottom of the screenshot, along with a finger, which adds a human element. Apple's preferred screenshot type is this style, but probably without captions, because it gives the user the most accurate and objective sense of what the app is, without leading or marketing to users. The first style is a full-screen screenshot without any background (this is word cookies, the last screenshot).

Screenshot-only is a style we are seeing more and more, given that real phone profiles take up room for showing more of the screenshot or for captions, yet are also common and redundant (i.e. We'll show you 20 different screenshots, grouped by generally similar themes. Today's post is a brief review that follows in this vein, like others popular posts such as the recent Google Play Feature Graphic Examples and the best practices from the top 100 app screenshots study. Who doesn't like to get an idea of what other people are using in their app listings every now and then? It's great for heating up the creative juices, staying abreast of the latest trends, and even borrowing ideas to use in your own app listing after all, they say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
