This is a great idea and executed very well, however it looks like you are using the marketing resources from Apple for the iPhone graphic and the Available in the App Store graphic. You should be aware that the use of these graphics requires compliance with the App Marketing and Identity Guidelines for Developers:
https://developer.apple.com/appstore/AppStoreMarketingGuidelines.pdf https://developer.apple.com/appstore/AppStoreMarketingGuidel...
Relevant Sections:
For the App Store badge:
"The App Store badge can be placed on a black or white background, on a solid color
background, or on a background image, as long as legibility is not diminished.
Do not place the badge on a visually cluttered or patterned background. If the badge
is placed on a photograph or other image, it must be positioned in an area that is
uncluttered and provides strong contrast and clear legibility."
For the iPhone graphic:
"The Apple-provided product image can be displayed only on a white background.
Never place the image on a black background or on any color or pattern."
I know these guidelines may seem ridiculous, and I often wonder what consequences may come from not complying with them, however given this is the core of your app, I think it deserves special consideration from you.
- aculver 15y agoThanks for the kind feedback! The iPhone image we used to compose the product shots is actually not one of the marketing resources provided by Apple. It's based on a vector-based image made available by an independent designer for this sort of use. As for the use of the App Store badge, I think our use fits within the guideline of "on a background image, as long as legibility is not diminished." I'm sure we'll hear from them otherwise. :) Would be curious to hear other folks thoughts on this as well.
- avgarrison 15y agoSounds good to me. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of a potential headache. Good luck to you, it is an awesome app, and I will most likely use it in the future. Also, where did you get the art for the iPhone image? I would like to have more flexibility than what the Apple images provide. Thanks!
