The App Store Page

Mutazoine has one of my favourite app pages for aesthetics, while some of the app store pages for Merge Mansions, Shop Titans or Idle World might have more targeted content and information the moving GIFs and images are very attractive.

A closer look at Terrarium: Garden Idle

Terrarium includes the genre, in it’s title and has some moving gifs and images under preview. “Your app’s name plays a critical role in how users discover it on the App Store. Choose a simple, memorable name that is easy to spell and hints at what your app does. Be distinctive. Avoid names that use generic terms or are too similar to existing app names” (Apple 2021b). The game name Flora Fatalis was already chosen but it is memorable and simple.

“An ideal Poster Frame complements your Icon and first screenshot and features the core values of your app. You are encouraged to edit your App Preview to make sure it has an effective Poster Frame candidate” (Moar 2021).
