Piece of feedback- the screenshots in the App Store look like fake iPhones (wrong shape) which (I believe) hurts the overall polish / trustworthiness of the app.

(After a quick browse in App Store) Splitwise and Feedly do this well. AllTrails is a bit more abstract but gets the shape right.

That's a very good point. That's a tradeoff I made to get some extra space inside those constrained landscape screenshots, but I will probably revert to actual device frames once I revert to portrait screenshots. Thanks for the great examples!

I wouldn’t bother changing it. IMO the average user won’t notice or even care.

I agree, and find it quite overstimulating too. I’m not even sure what it’s trying to show me.

Got it. I will try to make them more self explicit :)
