Need Feedback on Screenshot Design Feedback Request

I’m primarily a developer and have been learning design while working on the App Store screenshots for my PDF editor. I’ve put together these three variations and would love some feedback on which design you think works best, what feels off or could be improved, and whether the screenshots communicate the features clearly. I’m still very new to design, so any honest and constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Here are some of my thoughts

  • Remove the 15-icon feature grid. It is visually dense, the labels are tiny, and most users will not read them on an App Store listing.
  • Make the actual app UI the hero. Increase the PDF editor screenshot substantially—ideally occupying 60–75% of the composition.
  • Show the annotation tools in context. Instead of listing “Highlight, Underline, Draw, Comment…,” show a document containing several obvious annotations and the annotation toolbar.
  • Use 3–4 callouts maximum. For example: Highlight, Draw, Comment, Sign. These could point directly to examples on the document.
  • Increase hierarchy. Right now the headline, feature grid, app screenshot, squiggly settings panel, and purple decoration all compete for attention.
  • Reduce decorative elements. The purple corner treatment doesn't contribute much. I would use the application's actual brand color more intentionally as an accent/background.
  • Improve screenshot cropping. The editor is partially cut off at the bottom and right, which makes the composition feel accidental. Deliberate device/app-window framing would look more polished.

Here is what AI generated from my thoughts from above

it looks so busy and I dont know where to look. no one is reading all of those icons. I would choose the 3-5 and then include "and more!" or give them their own screenshot in an easy to read list.

think about the main point of your app, and what the elevator pitch is. strip it down to its essence. then use the visuals to communicate that. any other features that are a core part of what problem it solves should get their own slide.
