Launch Shots - Create stunning App/Play Store screenshots in minutes | Product Hunt
Verdict

Shotbot is a neat, inexpensive utility for framing screenshots quickly on Apple devices, and the Shortcuts integration makes it scriptable in a way few tools here are. It is a framing utility rather than a store-listing tool — no Android, no translation, no store upload — which is where Launch Shots picks up.

About Shotbot

Shotbot is a native app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro that frames screenshots in device mockups for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. It offers drag-and-drop, several import routes, auto-actions for saving and copying, quality controls, widgets, Shortcuts integration and a share extension. It requires iOS 17, macOS 14 on Apple Silicon, or visionOS 2.5, is English-only, and is sold as a $4.99 annual subscription.

When Shotbot is the right choice

It is cheap, it is native, it runs on an iPhone, and it plugs into Shortcuts and the share sheet. For framing a screenshot on the go, that beats opening a browser.

Why people switch to Launch Shots

Shotbot has no Android support, is English-only, and does not upload to App Store Connect or Google Play Console — so a full store listing, especially an international or Android one, needs another tool. Launch Shots covers both stores, 84 store languages, and publishing.

Best for

Apple users who want to frame screenshots quickly on-device, including from Shortcuts automations.

Store Listings

Now Launch Shots manages the whole listing, not just the screenshots.

The copy around your screenshots is half the listing, and it is usually the half that gets edited in a browser tab at midnight. Launch Shots reads it from the store, keeps every locale in one place, and writes it back when you are ready.

One grid · every locale · written back

  1. 01

    Pull the live listing

    Connect App Store Connect or Google Play with your own credentials, add an app, and every locale you have already published comes down as an editable draft.

  2. 02

    Edit every field

    Name, subtitle, description, keywords, promotional text, what’s new. Each one is checked against the store’s character limit while you write, so nothing gets rejected on submission.

  3. 03

    Translate the rest

    Write once in your source language and translate into the others. When the source copy moves, only the translations that went stale are flagged — hand-edited ones are left alone.

  4. 04

    Publish copy and screenshots together

    Bind your screenshot sets to a locale and push both back in one run. Anything that changed on the store since you pulled is shown side by side before a word is written.

Pulling, editing and translating are free. Credits are only spent when something is written to the store — 1 per locale published.

FAQ03

Frequently asked

How much does Shotbot cost?

Shotbot is sold as a $4.99 annual subscription through its App Store listing, which makes it one of the cheapest options in this category.

Does Shotbot support Android?

No. Shotbot runs on Apple platforms and frames Apple devices only. If you publish to Google Play, you will need another tool for the Android set — Launch Shots covers both stores in one editor.

Does Shotbot upload to the App Store?

Its App Store listing does not describe an App Store Connect upload feature, so exports are saved and uploaded manually. Launch Shots pushes screenshots straight to App Store Connect and Google Play Console.
