Show the small moment that makes your app useful.

An install is a large request when someone has not yet understood the problem. Start with one repeatable task and show how it changes on a real device. Keep screenshots consistent with the version someone can download.

One product, three content directions

A habit tracker turns “I forgot again” into a one-tap check-in. Record the reminder, the action and the history view. Keep setup screens out of the first demonstration unless setup is the topic.

  • Explain. A screen recording of one completed task.
  • Show. A carousel answering three setup questions.
  • Answer. A reaction to a familiar problem the app solves.
This is an illustrative content brief, not a measured campaign result.

Before you approve the post

App availability, operating system, paid features and the exact store destination.

Keep current product information next to the creative brief. Ask the reviewer to check what the viewer will reasonably understand, not only whether each sentence is literally true. Check the caption and destination as carefully as the video.

Measure the useful next step

Track store visits and installs separately when your measurement setup supports them. Do not infer an install from a video view.

Build a repeatable routine

Start with a small batch you can review properly. Keep the strongest idea, save the questions it raises and turn those questions into the next brief. Revisit posts when the product or offer changes so your most useful explanations stay accurate.

Make your next post clearer

A useful story starts
