I recently launched my first app, and honestly, one of the hardest parts wasn’t development, it was designing the app store screenshots.

As a full-time student balancing studies and coding, learning graphic design, Figma, spacing, typography, and all those tiny UI tweaks felt overwhelming.

I tried a bunch of screenshot/mockup tools, but almost every time I finished designing something and clicked “Download”… boom, paywall 😭

Since my budget was basically zero, I kept searching for something that was actually free but still looked professional.

After 2–3 days of experimenting, I started using Claude to help with mockups and screenshot copy/design ideas… and after around 4–5 iterations, these are the results.

Honestly, I’m pretty happy with how they turned out, especially considering I didn’t spend anything.

Here’s my app link: [ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.caleye.caloriescounter ]

Would genuinely love some feedback from you guys:

• Do these screenshots look professional enough?
• Would they make you download the app?
• What would you improve?

Hey everyone,

I’m a student developer and I just published my very first own app.

Before this, I mostly worked on client projects where I didn’t use AdMob, but this is the first app I built and published completely for myself. I integrated Google AdMob and shared it only in my friend circle around 15 hours ago, and these are the early results.

For me, this feels like a huge milestone.

I want advice from developers who’ve already gone through the early growth phase.

I see many people here talking about AdMob Mediation.

Right now I’m only using standard AdMob ads and honestly don’t know much about mediation yet.

So I wanted to ask:

• Is mediation worth implementing for a new app?
• Does it actually improve revenue?

Would really appreciate advice from experienced developers here.
