For AR apps
App Store screenshots for ar apps
AR-app screenshots have to prove the illusion: a digital object convincingly placed in a real environment. The hero is the magic moment — furniture in a real room, a creature on a real table, a measurement overlaid on a real wall — captured so cleanly that the buyer believes it works. Flat UI mockups waste the category's entire advantage; AR screenshots should look like a frame from the actual AR experience.
What converts
What works for AR apps
The AR illusion captured cleanly — a digital object convincingly placed in a real scene.
A relatable real-world environment (a living room, a desk) so the placement reads as believable.
Headline copy naming the use ("See the couch in your room before you buy"), not "augmented reality".
Flat 2D UI mockups that show none of the AR magic — wastes the whole category advantage.
Obviously fake composites where the object floats or casts no shadow — breaks the illusion.
"Powered by ARKit" tech-spec headlines instead of showing what the buyer can actually do.

FAQ
AR apps screenshot questions
Should AR-app screenshots show the AR view or the UI?
Lead with the AR view — a digital object convincingly placed in a real environment is the entire reason the app exists. UI panels can be a minor secondary shot; the magic moment has to be the hero.
How do I make AR screenshots look believable?
Show correct scale, shadows, and a relatable real-world setting. A composite where the object floats or doesn't match the lighting breaks the illusion and makes buyers doubt the app actually works.
Why Bold for AR apps?
Because AR is a wow-factor category and oversized, confident type matches that energy. The palette comes from your captured AR scenes, so the marketing reflects your actual experience.
