Posts tagged google play on the mockiso blog: guides, tips and tools for device mockups and app store screenshots.
Most App Store screenshot rejections come from a few fixable mistakes: splash or login screens instead of the app in use, prices or "free" claims, other-platform imagery, real user data, and wrong sizes or transparent PNGs. Google Play adds bans on rankings, awards and promo text.
Use flat mockups when the interface has to be read: the first App Store screenshots, documentation and UI walkthroughs. Use 3D mockups when you need atmosphere and depth: hero images, launch posts, landing pages and later screenshots in the set.
A Google Play feature graphic must be a 1024 × 500 px JPEG or 24-bit PNG with no alpha channel. Keep the focal point centered, use vivid colors, skip device imagery and words like "#1" or "Free," then A/B test it in Play Console.
Use device mockups when you need context: landing pages, launch posts, pitch decks, portfolios and most App Store sets. Skip the frame when a store or platform discourages it, such as Wear OS listings on Google Play, or when the UI needs every pixel.
Good App Store screenshot captions are short, benefit-led headlines of roughly 3–7 words. They are set large and in high contrast, written for one idea per screenshot and localized for every market. On Google Play, keep taglines under 20% of the image and leave out calls to action.
