About this app
Alerta de Sismos, del Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales de El Salvador, es una app móvil que notifica a los usuarios los sismos que pueden ser sentidos y brindar, en el mejor de los casos, alerta temprana y que el usuario tenga tiempo para realizar la acción de Protegerse. Efectivo solo a distancias entre unos 50 a 150 km. Más cerca no hay tiempo para alertar y más lejos aunque el sismo pueda ser sentido no causará daños tan importantes como para que se declare una alerta. Es una aplicación gratuita y un servicio que brinda el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales del El Salvador como complemento al trabajo de diseminación de información que realiza. Es un sistema completamente automatizado que enlaza múltiples instrumentos y algoritmos y por lo tanto es susceptible a fallas técnicas. La app brinda tres tipos de alertas: Roja, Naranja y Verde.

What you can learn from Alerta de Sismo
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 4 screenshots above are Alerta de Sismo's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Alerta de Sismo runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #2C54AC) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #4C84FC, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
