Quick answer
Credibility before returns. Investing screenshots are read sceptically, and anything that looks like a promise of profit undermines trust — and risks rejection.
Below: what actually converts in this category, the colour direction that suits it, the mistakes investing apps make most often, and a frame-by-frame order you can copy.
What makes investing screenshots convert
Show the tool, not a windfall
A portfolio view, a research screen, an execution flow. Charts of dramatic gains read as a promise you cannot make, and both stores scrutinise financial claims.
Make charts legible at small size
Dense multi-series charts turn to grey mush in a thumbnail. One clear line with a clear label beats a professional-looking chart nobody can read.
Name your credibility signals early
Regulation, insurance, custody arrangements, fee structure. In investing, trust is the conversion lever, and it belongs in the first three frames.
Colour direction for investing apps
Blues and deep neutrals carry institutional trust. Green-for-up and red-for-down are conventions worth keeping, but never build a whole frame around green gains — it reads as a return promise.
Whatever palette you choose, hold it across all five frames. Three colours — one brand, one accent, one neutral — is the discipline that makes a set read as designed. The design guide covers the specifics.
Common mistakes in investing apps
- Portfolios showing implausible gains
- Charts too detailed to read at thumbnail size
- Any implied performance guarantee
- Burying fees, which is the first thing sceptical users look for
Frame-by-frame order
A starting structure for a five-frame set. Adjust to your app, but keep the strongest material first — view rates drop sharply after frame three.
- The portfolio view, realistically populated
- Research or analysis tools
- Trust signals — regulation, protection, fees
- How simple it is to actually invest
- A closing frame on long-term discipline
The reasoning behind this order is in the strategy guide.
Frequently asked questions
Can I show returns in screenshots?
Be extremely careful. Both stores and financial regulators treat performance claims seriously. Show the tool rather than an outcome.
What builds the most trust?
Concrete specifics: who regulates you, how assets are held, what you charge. Vague reassurance does very little.
