What is an app demo video?
An app demo video – sometimes called an app explainer video – is a short video that showcases the features, functionality, and user experience of a mobile or web application. It features a visual demonstration of how the app works, highlighting key features, navigation, and interactions. App demo videos are often used for promotional purposes, marketing campaigns, or pitching to potential investors or users, offering a concise and engaging overview of how a mobile app operates – and its key benefits.What are the different types of app demo videos?
There are two main types of app demo videos: screen-recorded demos and animated demos. Screen-recorded demos capture the app’s actual screen interactions, showing real-time usage and functionality. Animated demos involve recreating the app’s interface using illustration software. This allows for more creative control, enabling individual elements to be animated with smooth transitions and visual effects.How does a mobile app demo video benefit my app?
A mobile app demo video offers several benefits for your app. It gives you a visual and engaging way to showcase your app’s features, functionality, and user experience, making it easier for potential users or investors to understand and appreciate its value. It helps in building credibility and trust by demonstrating the app’s capabilities in action. And it can attract attention, generate interest, and increase the likelihood of app downloads or user conversions, ultimately contributing to the app’s success.3,000+ Videos created

How much does an app demo video cost?
The cost of an app demo video can vary depending on quite a few factors – the length of the video, the style (screen-recorded or animated), the quality of production, and the expertise of the professionals involved. In theory, you could make your own app demo using basic screen recordings for free, while the cost might run to several thousand dollars for highly polished and custom-made animated videos.

What makes a great mobile app demo video?
For starters, a great mobile app demo video begins with an impactful start – capturing viewers’ attention the first few seconds. Beyond this, it should show off just the right blend of key features to make an impression on potential users, highlighting how it solves their problems and helps them achieve their goals. The video should flow smoothly, presenting the app’s functionality in a logical and easy-to-understand manner. The best mobile app explainer videos have engaging visuals, seamless transitions, and a friendly voiceover or text overlay, which help communicate the app’s benefits and create a lasting impression.
How long should an app explainer video be?
The ideal length for an app explainer video is typically in the 1-2 minute range. This is enough time to engage viewers, get them excited about the app, and provide sufficient information about its features and benefits without them getting bored. However, it’s important to note that each app store may have its own restrictions on demo video length. For instance, Apple’s App Store limits app previews to 30 seconds. Therefore, it’s crucial to check the specific guidelines of the app store you’re targeting to ensure compliance before creating your video.
Is a screen recorded or animated video best for my mobile app explainer video?
The simple answer is, ‘It depends!’ Screen recorded app demo videos offer a realistic demonstration of the app’s interface and functionality, ideal for showcasing its actual usage – and they tend to be quicker and cost less to produce. On the other hand, animated app explainer videos allow for more creativity, with customisable visuals and engaging transitions. Consider your app’s style, target audience, marketing goals – and budget – to determine which approach aligns better with your brand and effectively communicates your app’s value proposition.Did you know? 👀

App Explainer Video FAQs
Got questions about our service, us or how it all works? See a few of the most common questions we get below.
Where can I use my app demo video once it’s complete?
You can use an app demo video across various platforms and channels to maximise its reach and impact. You can feature it on your app’s website or landing page, share it on social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, include it in your app’s listing on app stores, incorporate it into email marketing campaigns, use it for presentations or pitches to potential investors or partners, and even showcase it at industry events or conferences.How do I make my own app demo videos?
It’s possible to create very basic app demo videos using inexpensive screen recording and editing software. However, this approach tends not to lead to a professional and polished end product. We’re biased, but if you’re looking for an app explainer video that really makes an impression on prospective app users – we recommend consulting a professional video production company.Can I use one video in all the different app stores?
While it’s possible to use one video across multiple app stores, it’s important to consider the specific guidelines and requirements of each store. Different app stores may have varying video length limits, file format preferences, or other specifications. We recommend adapting the video to meet the guidelines of each app store while maintaining the core message and visual appeal. This ensures that your video meets the specific requirements of each platform, increasing its effectiveness in engaging potential users wherever people can download your app.Can you create app demo videos in multiple languages for international audiences?
