- **Panoramic backgrounds:** Color, gradient or image backgrounds can run across several screenshots, and adjust when a screenshot is added or removed.
- **Titles, subtitles and icons:** Custom backgrounds, decorations and text options for titles and subtitles, plus placement of your logo or icons with shadows.
- **Local project files:** Projects live in the browser and are saved to a .mockup file on your computer, not on the vendor's servers.

## Good for

- Solo developers designing App Store and Google Play screenshots on a budget

## Worth knowing

- Premium templates cost extra; the terms say the price is shown before buying but state no figure.
- Each premium template licence covers one app.
- The pages we read mention no store upload or direct integrations.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace AppMockUp Studio you would be making keyword rankings and popularity scores from both app stores, gathered every day. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 46 of the 49 other app store optimization tools we grade.

- You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Keyword rankings and popularity scores from both app stores, gathered every day.
- You could not: Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
