What are the screenshots for?

Screenshots are used by the App Store and Google Play to show potential users looking to download the app what it looks like and gives a taste of what the app will do. In order to submit the app, you need to have 3-5 screenshots from your app of different sections to show the kind of content the app has. Screenshots can only be taken of sections that have content in them, so make sure you have content in at least 3 sections (Newsletter, Messages, Blog, Connect) before taking screenshots.

 

Now that you have a better understanding, check out this short video on how to take screen shots for your Google Play and App Store, Mobile App description page.

Let's capture some screenshots. These screenshots will show up in your app store as part of the description, so save doing this until you have completed all of your app and you are ready to submit it.

You will need at least three screenshots for your phone and tablet view. To take a screenshot, pick which view you want, then select the section you want to take an image of. Finally, click the take screenshot button.

If by chance you see that this button is grayed out, it means one of two things. First, you may not have added anything to that section, or second, you cannot take a screenshot of that section. Once you have your three or more screenshots per view taken, you will see that the exclamation point has turned into a check mark.

You are all done and can move on to the next section.
