Screenshots and why they convert
8 screenshots of up to 10, the first 6 shown here. The first 3 show in search results when there's no preview video.
#1In search results
Enjoy happy relationship with your dog
- What it shows
- A golden dog looking up at the camera on a yellow header, with a paw icon and a “20 million+ happy dog parents” badge between laurel branches.
- Why it converts
- Sets a warm mood and puts a user-count claim up front. It does not yet say the app trains dogs, so a visitor has to rely on the app name for that.
#2In search results
Gradual dog training guide
- dog trainingin name
- What it shows
- A level map with a progress bar and lesson circles such as “Welcome to Woofz”, “Bark to Basics” and “Home Preparation”.
- Why it converts
- Shows the product as a path with a start and a next step. The caption names dog training, so this is where the app's purpose becomes clear.
#3In search results
Step-by-step lessons
- What it shows
- A lesson card for “Hug” with an illustration, a “5-10 seconds” clock and “Stage 3” instructions.
- Why it converts
- Makes a lesson concrete: a visitor sees what one exercise looks like. The instruction text is small, so the caption and illustration carry the message.
#4
Simple video instructions
- videonot in name
- What it shows
- A person kneeling with a dog standing up on its hind legs, with video controls and a 0.75x speed label.
- Why it converts
- A real person and dog show the task,. The video controls make the format clear at a glance.
#5
Solve any problems with Dog Assistant
- dog assistantnot in name
- What it shows
- A chat screen titled “Woofz dog assistant” with a question about a dog's reactivity and a written answer, beside a cartoon dog at a laptop.
- Why it converts
- Names a feature and shows a real question and answer. The answer text is small, so the caption has to do the selling.
#6
Personalized wellness programs
- wellnessnot in name
- What it shows
- A Wellbeing screen with tabs for Hygiene, Relaxation and Sounds, and four cards: relaxation, massage, mat relaxation and aromatherapy.
- Why it converts
- Adds a second use beyond training. The colored illustrated cards stay clear when small, but the link between “wellness” and the app's main job is left to the visitor.
Icon and design system
What makes the page read as one brand at a glance.
- One idea: a dog inside a heart. It points to dogs and care, but not to training.
- The yellow background matches the yellow and orange used in the screenshots, so icon and gallery look like one brand.
- Thick single-color lines and no text keep it readable at small sizes.
- 01
Warm start, then product
The first image is a dog photo and a mood line. The product screens begin in the second image.
- 02
Dark caption on yellow
Most captions are bold dark brown on a yellow or orange field. High contrast keeps it readable at small size.
- 03
Short noun-phrase captions
Most captions, such as “Step-by-step lessons” and “Simple video instructions” name the feature in a few words.
- 04
Phone frame under the caption
Most images use the same layout: caption on top, a phone-style frame below. Swiping feels like one system.
- 05
A usage claim as proof
“20 million+ happy dog parents” is the app's own claim. It sits in the first image, where search results show it.

Where the points are
- Ask happy users for a rating+5 pts
4.6 stars from 58,072 ratings. Apple's in-app rating prompt can be shown up to 3 times a year; show it right after a user finishes something in the app.
- Check caption terms against your subtitle and keywords
3 caption terms aren't in the app name: video, dog assistant, wellness. Captions don't count for search; the subtitle and the 100-character keyword field do.
- Win back installs
Downloads fell 11% while revenue rose 0.1%. A product page that converts more of its visitors wins installs back without more ad spend.
Apply it to your app
A checklist for your next product page update.
- Say what the app does in the first image, not only the feeling it gives.
- If you show a user count, place it in the first image and name who is counted.
- Use one caption color and one background family across the set.
- Write captions as short noun phrases that name one feature.
- Show a real photo when the task is physical, and the interface when it is not.
- Keep key text large. Small body text in a phone frame is easy to miss at thumbnail size.
How the ASO score works
- 01
App name, 25 points
Up to 10 for how much of Apple's 30 characters it uses, 10 for a brand + keyword structure, 5 when keywords fill half the name or more.
- 02
Screenshots, 35 points
Captions on every image, captions that name searched features, a first screenshot that shows the main use, one design system, readability at search size, and a trust signal.
- 03
Ratings, 25 points
Up to 15 for the average (from 4.0, full marks at 4.8) and 10 for the count (from 1,000, full marks at 100,000 ratings).
- 04
Freshness, 15 points
Full marks for an update in the last 30 days, falling to zero at 180 days. 85+ is excellent, 70+ strong, 50+ fair.
Common questions
What is an ASO score?
A 100-point check of the parts of an App Store page you control: the app name, screenshots, ratings and how recently the app was updated. It's our own scoring rule, shown in full on this page, not a number from Apple. Use it to compare your page with apps that already sell well in your category.
How long can an app name be on the App Store?
30 characters. A common pattern is a short brand followed by the main thing people search for, like “Woofz - Puppy and Dog Training”, which uses 30. Apple also gives you a 30-character subtitle and a 100-character keyword field for more terms.
Which screenshots show up in App Store search results?
The first one to three, when the app has no preview video. That's why the first three should cover the main reasons people download. Woofz uses them for dog training.
How many screenshots can an iPhone app have?
Up to 10 per device size. Apple recommends focusing each screenshot after the first on one main benefit or feature. Woofz uses 8.
Where do the download and revenue numbers come from?
They're third-party estimates for the US App Store, not figures reported by the developer. Treat them as a sense of scale. Growth compares the latest month with the month before.
Do screenshot captions help an app rank in search?
Apple says search results use text matches in the app name, subtitle, keywords and primary category, plus user behavior such as downloads, ratings and reviews. Captions aren't on that list: they help people who already see the app decide to download. When a caption names something people search for, put that term in the keyword field too.
Where the numbers come from
- Apple: Creating your product page
- App name limit (30 characters), up to 10 screenshots, the first one to three shown in search results, keyword field.
- Apple: App Store search
- Search results use text relevance (name, subtitle, keywords, primary category) and user behavior (downloads, ratings, reviews).
- Apple: Ratings, reviews and responses
- The in-app rating prompt can be shown up to three times in a 365-day period.
- Woofz - Puppy and Dog Training on the App Store
