Best Practices

Show authentic UI - Use actual screenshots from your app, not mockups or concept art
Limit text overlays - Taglines should be max 20% of the screenshot area
Avoid device frames - Google discourages device hardware in screenshots
No promotional language - Avoid "free", "discount", "download now" - may affect featuring eligibility
Consider sound-off viewing - Most users browse with sound off, so add supporting text to videos
Add a promo video - Apps with videos get up to 35% more downloads
