What's great
Framed a few screenshots in the latest iPhone mockup and had a full App Store set laid out side by side in a few minutes, no account wall in the way. Being able to tilt/scale the device frames instead of just dropping a flat screenshot into a fixed template made the set look less generic than most free screenshot tools. Exporting at the exact sizes App Store Connect wants (rather than guessing pixel dimensions) is the detail that actually saves time.
What needs improvement
Community templates would be more useful if they were filterable by app category - scrolling through a generic template list to find something close to a fitness or finance app layout was slower than just starting from blank.
vs Alternatives
Xnapper Xnapper is more about polishing a single screenshot fast (backgrounds, shadows, quick share). appdesigns is built specifically for the App Store submission workflow - device frames, headlines, and exact export sizes for a whole set of screens. If I just need one pretty screenshot I'd reach for Xnapper, but for an actual store listing appdesigns is the more purpose-built tool.

I just tried it out and works quite well. Quite timely as well with everyone scrambling to get their mock ups ready for the duo, if only we could also fix everything as quickly on the development side of things. Also curious as to know the decision behind dropping the paywall ?
Thanks Shawn, glad it worked well! And yeah, if only the dev side caught up as fast as the screenshots now haha
On the paywall: I'm a mobile app developer myself, and I know most people launching an app don't want to spend money before it's even out. Making it cheaper would still put a checkout in front of something that should take ten minutes. So I made it free for the community, no signup needed. There are lots of great free tools out there and this is my contribution back to community. If anything is missing for your set, tell me.
Quick one for anyone in the iPhone Duo scramble this week (Shawn mentioned it below): the Duo sizes App Store Connect asks for are in, cover and unfolded, since the day Apple published them. Pick the Duo frame, drop in your screens, export at the exact size. Here's a set open in the editor. If a size looks off, tell me here and I'll fix it today.
left a review above - going fully free with unlimited exports is a rare choice, most tools like this hold export hostage behind a paywall. what's missing for me: filtering the community templates by app category. scrolling a generic list to find something close to a fitness/finance layout was slower than just starting blank, which kind of defeats the point of a template shortcut.
