      <description>&lt;p&gt;Your store page is the last thing someone sees before deciding whether you exist. Not your architecture. Six images and a title.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So we scored 24.871 live listings across 16 country storefronts on Google Play and the App Store. Average score: 78/100. Only 1,070 apps beat 70 — that's 4.4%.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The same five problems, over and over:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Raw screenshots with no captions&lt;br&gt;
One language for a global storefront&lt;br&gt;
The best screenshot buried in slot four&lt;br&gt;
An icon that dies at 48px&lt;br&gt;
Keywords describing the code, not the intent&lt;br&gt;
None are engineering problems. All of them cost installs on every impression, silently.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The hard part: you can't judge your own listing. You've seen your app ten thousand times, so your brain fills in meaning a stranger's doesn't have.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fs4zu6gxpkb8kkt5o2sx0.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fs4zu6gxpkb8kkt5o2sx0.jpg" alt=" " width="800" height="730"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's the actual output — score, per-section breakdown, an ASO copy rewrite, and the keywords you're missing. Paste a store URL or package name, get this. No SDK, no signup, no demo call.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Score your listing free: &lt;a href="https://shotyend.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://shotyend.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The problem nobody wants to do</title>
      <dc:creator>Deneyseldeney</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;You ship an app. The store listing needs screenshots. Then someone asks: "can we localize it for Germany, Japan, Brazil, Saudi Arabia?"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now you're not shipping — you're in a design tool, copying the same layout 20 times, fixing text that overflows in German, flipping the whole thing for Arabic, and re-exporting for 6 different device sizes. Per language. Every update.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I did this manually for my own app. Once. Then I built a tool so I'd never do it again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What Shotyend does&lt;br&gt;
Upload one screenshot. The AI redraws the UI text inside the image into the target language — layout, fonts and icons stay intact, brand names and numbers untouched. Then it renders every store size and hands you one validated ZIP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;70+ languages, including RTL (Arabic, Hebrew) and CJK with correct fonts and text direction&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every store size in one job: Play phone 1080×1920, 7" 1512×2688, 10" tablet 1620×2880; App Store iPhone 6.9" 1320×2868, 6.5" 1284×2778, iPad 13" 2064×2752&lt;br&gt;
1024×500 Play feature graphic, auto-translated per language&lt;br&gt;
Store-Ready validation: every file checked against Play &amp;amp; App Store rules, fixed if needed&lt;br&gt;
Marketing captions above/below the phone frame — also translated&lt;br&gt;
One-click store upload: push straight to Play (service account) or App Store Connect (API key). Credentials are used in the moment and never written to disk&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Localization, not word-for-word translation&lt;br&gt;
Translating "Get 50% off" is easy. Getting the tone, the currency and the date format right for that market is the part that actually converts. The AI handles per-market tone and formats instead of doing a dictionary swap — and there's a QC pass that catches text overflow and misalignment before you ever see the file&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Free thing you can use right now, no signup&lt;br&gt;
There's a store listing analyzer on the homepage. Paste a package name, get a score with concrete findings. I ran it across a large pool of Play apps and the pattern is depressingly consistent: English-only listings, missing feature graphics, and the first two screenshots never say what the app actually does.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's free and needs no account. Check your own app — it takes 30 seconds and it will probably annoy you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pricing, briefly&lt;br&gt;
No subscription. One-time credits that never expire. Cost is image × language × platform, based on the model you pick. 10 free credits on signup, no credit card. If a job fails on our side, credits are automatically refunded — you don't pay for my bugs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Launch week: 25% off your first month.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Stack, for the curious&lt;br&gt;
FastAPI + MongoDB on the backend, React on the front, Cloudflare R2 for storage, and a render pipeline that composites the localized text back into device frames at store dimensions. The hard part wasn't translation — it was making text fit a fixed layout in a language that's 40% longer, and doing it without the result looking auto-generated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try it: shotyend.com — and if you find something broken, tell me. I'd rather hear it from you than from a review.&lt;/p&gt;
