An app store listing and an onboarding flow are often reviewed separately. Putting them side by side can reveal a mismatch between what a person expects and what the app asks them to do.
Write down the promise
Read the title, screenshots, and description as a new visitor. State the benefit they appear to offer in one plain sentence. If the team cannot agree on that sentence, the listing needs a clearer focus.
Follow the route to that benefit
Use a fresh account and record the steps needed to reach the promised experience. Note permissions, setup, loading, errors, and moments where the next action is unclear.
Give each experiment a question
Choose a specific mismatch to investigate. A screenshot test and an onboarding change should each have a stated purpose and a way to review the response.
