Number Harbor

Number Harbor solves a specific problem. After you change your phone number, the old one keeps receiving security codes, bank alerts and texts from people who never got the new number. You move the old number into the app and those messages land in one inbox. The developer asked us whether the screenshots explain this fast enough. Our honest answer is not yet.

The listing has two screenshots, and neither has a caption. Frame one is the Inbox exactly as it looks on the phone: a search field, the All, 2FA, Bank and Personal filters, and example messages. Frame two is the plan screen. Both are plain device captures with the real status bar left in. A shopper scanning search results sees a messaging inbox that could belong to many apps. The one example message that tells the story, an old contact asking whether this number still works, sits small in the second row.

On localization, we looked the app up in the US, DE, JP, ES, FR, IT, PT, TR and SA storefronts. It is listed in the US storefront only, in English, so for now the screenshots themselves are the whole question.

The one fix that matters: put the first line of your own description, "Change your number. Cut off old contacts. Still receive what matters.", on the first frame. It is already written and it explains the product in three short sentences. Apple allows up to ten screenshots, so there is also room for a frame that shows a text to the old number arriving in the inbox.
