Create more Promotion-worthy images for Play Store listing

[mikehardy]

Apparently the images we currently have in our Play Store listing are not "Promotion worthy", I believe (based on their note) because they are not 1080px+?

Here are their content guidelines: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9866151#screenshots&zippy=%2Cscreenshots

The content is, I think, fine on the current screenshots so I would not over-think re-doing them.

However here are the "Highly Recommended" guidelines for non-game apps, with a max dimension of 3840px as the upper limit to keep in mind:

Highly recommended

Some sections of Google Play show groups of recommended apps and games in a large format using screenshots. To be eligible for recommendations in formats that use screenshots, the following guidelines are a requirement: For apps, you must provide at least four screenshots with minimum 1080px resolution. These should be 16:9 for landscape (minimum 1920x1080px) screenshots and 9:16 for portrait screenshots (minimum 1080x1920px).

Dear sir, I have one query should I recreate the available images in the play store with better resolution OR I could add some modifications also. Thanks.

Just improving the resolution

[Viraj76]

I greatly appreciate being assigned this issue . I've successfully enhanced the resolution of all images available at the Ankidroid App in play store. I achieved this by meticulously adhering to your guidance and thoroughly studying the provided guidelines:

1. Adhering to the content guidelines, I enlarged the dimensions of all images from their previous 810x1440px to the recommended 1080x1920px.

2. I boosted the DPI (dots per inch) to 96dpi, a noticeable improvement from the previous 72dpi. Consequently, each image now boasts a heightened resolution.

3. Ensuring compliance with the guideline, I substantially reduced the text coverage in the images. Previously, images 1, 4, and 5 had text coverage percentages of 20%, 30%, and 30% respectively. Now, all images adhere to the guideline's requirement of 10% text coverage.

4. To align with the guidelines, I rectified image 5 by removing notifications and icons related to WiFi or other services when a status bar is present. This adjustment was facilitated by maintaining a higher resolution and appropriate dimensions.

Thank You.

Thanks!! On first glance, this looks good. Could you put in a PR to allow us to compare the changes more easily?

[Viraj76]

I'm traveling today, but I see it breaks CI and it seems there's no change in files?

[Viraj76]

Dear @david-allison , as it issue was for enhancement of resolutions of the images that are listed in the Ankidroid in the play store. i.e. I have made changes in the images by following the guideline ( https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9866151#screenshots&zippy=%2Cscreenshots). For generating the PR , am not finding those images in the App repo. i.e. it is not showing any changes . I just uploaded the better images in the drawable and made a PR.

Please give me some guidance if am going wrong. Thankyou

[Viraj76]

Dear @david-allison sir , finally I have made changes and done in a proper way ,#14280 .
