👋 Hey Product Hunters!
Today, after some weeks of serious crafting 👨🏽💻I am finally launching StorePreviewer.
🤔 Problem
I am currently in the process of creating my second app which will be soon launched on the App Store. Whenever I want to try out or publish a new app I encounter this one repeating and very annoying problem: There is no way for me to see how my app’s copy and screenshots will actually look like. On the App Store. In real life. On the device.
Playing around with various Sketch/Figma templates is nice for perhaps that one logo preview but iterating over multiple screenshot ideas is quite cumbersome and takes a lot of time. Not even thinking about doing it for multiple devices, dark and light mode as well as the list and detail view.
💭 Thoughts
Optimizing your app’s copy and screenshots should be a creative, productive and most important fun process. Inspired by Preview Hunt from the wonderful makers @andreyazimov and @rdev, I thought that there has to be a better solution.
🛠️ Solution
I created a web app based on this premise. StorePreviewer is a useful developer tool that helps you preview your app on the App Store in the way it should be.
