Screenshot 1 Screenshot 2 Screenshot 3 Screenshot 4 Screenshot 5 Screenshot 6 Screenshot 7 Screenshot 8

8 screenshots as served by Apple’s public endpoint, reported against version 2.9.3. If these are not your current screenshots, Apple is serving this tool an older set than your live product page shows — it caches images separately from the listing text and independently of the version number. Only the screenshot checks are affected; the name and description checks read the current listing.

Localization reach

Every storefront below was asked for this listing directly. A storefront counts as localized when what Apple returns differs from the most common variant (the fallback everyone else gets) and is shared only by storefronts speaking the same language — which is what a genuine App Store Connect localization produces, and what a second English fallback does not.
