## When to use AppFrame

- A user wants an image to announce that their iOS app was approved, launched or updated, for Twitter / X, Instagram post, Instagram story, LinkedIn, Product Hunt.
- A user asks for a quick App Store "showcase" or promo graphic with the app icon, name, rating and screenshots, without design tools.
- You need to find an iOS app on the App Store: call `search_apps` (MCP) or `GET /api/v1/apps?q=...` with the App Store ID or URL (reliable; name search is best-effort) and give the user the returned `editorUrl` (https://appfra.me/app/{trackId}); the image is created and downloaded there in the browser (Google sign-in required).
- A user asks which themes, fonts or social formats are available, or what Pro costs: use `list_themes` / `get_appframe_info` or `/api/v1/themes` / `/api/v1/info`.
- Not for: Android apps, App Store screenshot sets for the store listing itself, or server-side image rendering (the API does not return images).
