Finance app screenshots with no app screen
A photo, a logo or a slogan: the app’s screen does not appear. These sell an idea, a promise or a brand before showing any interface. Apple’s App Review Guideline 2.3.3 says screenshots should show the app in use, and not only title art, a login page or a splash screen.
From the top 100 free Finance apps on the US App Store, read on October 9, 2026. Screenshots are the developers’ own, shown from Apple’s servers with a link to each app.
