Want ideas for your app demo video?
1. F2X
Created by Yans Media
F2X is the first social fitness app where you can find new and popular workout programs and follow your favorite channels and contributors. You can even create your own workout program and share it across the platform.
The atmosphere of the video crackles with energy and speaks directly to the kind of target audience that lives an active lifestyle.
The smooth transition from live-action to animation is a great decision; it keeps the audience’s attention focused on your message.
In the F2X example, we see perfect execution of this tactic. The production team can then demonstrate all features, functionality, and the user interface using animation.
Then, in the live-action segments, they show the actual experience you can get from using this app.
2. Zocdoc
Zocdoc is an online medical care appointment booking service.
Using this simple app you can find nearby doctors, check the doctor reviews left by their actual patients, and even fill out all your paperwork before your visit.
I would actually nominate this demo video as the best in not just one, but multiple categories. First, it’s a perfect example of a 30-second demo video. Generally with demo videos, the shorter your video is, the better your chances are to earn higher engagement.
Second, positivity is a great way to get your viewer to focus on the benefits they can receive and experience.
In this video, both the script and visuals contribute to that vibe.
Lastly, the script is the strongest part of this video.
Here we see a creative approach with the whole story structured like a poem. In combination with well-crafted visuals, it results in a fun story on how to book an appointment with a doctor.
3. Amazon Key In- Car Delivery: Convenience Delivered
Amazon expands its service and provides wider delivery options.
Now, using a digital key by the Amazon app, you can get your packages delivered right into your home and car. Using this app, you can even lock and unlock your door or give permanent access to your friends and family.
The producers of this video found a great way to demonstrate this new app by showing the traditional Amazon delivery and then jumping into the new alternative delivery option. Showing how handy and helpful this new delivery system can be in different situations helps you to visualize yourself in these scenarios.
Here we don’t see a traditional problem plus solution app demo video; instead we see a problem solving approach that is entirely positive and creates a buzz to download the app.
4. Rivet
Rivet is a reading app for kids with more than 3500 books in their collection.
If your children are struggling with reading, you can download the Rivet app to your phone or tablet and help them improve.
Kind and warm: I know these two characteristics would sound strange for describing any other app demo video, but in this case it’s the best two attributes I can think of.
When we want to demonstrate something helpful for kids that will also improve and develop their reading abilities, these 2 characteristics work extremely well. In this video, it was executed by using loveable animal characters and a fitting voiceover.
This video is a solid example of how simple, clear, and understandable a demo video must be.
5. Hello, Travel Superpowers
This app gets you all the same tools of TripAdvisor directly on your phone or tablet. You can get the lowest hotel prices, the latest traveler reviews, discover top places to eat, and find new exotic experiences to enjoy.
Traveling is something that creates some of the best memories and associations. With this video, the producers knew that all they needed was to tap into this to emotionally trigger people to recall their favorite travel memories.
From the first moment of this video, you slide into the role of the traveler and discover how you can organize your whole trip using the app. Watching this 96 second explainer video, any viewer will understand all the benefits they can gain from using TripAdvisor.
6. UNIVOICE
The developers of this app know that the best way to encourage someone to learn a language is to find new and enjoyable ways of doing it.
Univoice is a language learning app that helps to improve your linguistic knowledge from listening to music. Simply select the language you want to learn, choose the music genre you love, and sing along with the artist while following the translation in your native language.
This is a wonderful example of an app demo video.
Just by watching it once, the viewer is clearly informed about every aspect they need to know about the product.
The whole message can fit into 45 seconds, is demonstrated with people from different walks of life, and spotlights the wonderful experience that you can be a part of when learning with this app.

The strongest aspect of this video is its visuals.
By designing different animal characters that represent various languages,yan /blo the makers of this video found a creative way to make this app demo video memorable.
The viewer gets a clear understanding of how they can use this app and the benefits they’ll receive.
10. Meet Monetha’s dealmaking app
Monetha is a mobile purchasing app based on blockchain technology.
The entire video was built in an organic manner to describe two main ideas behind this app.
First – how you can use this app for online purchasing. Second – explaining how it works.
Since this app is based on blockchain technologies, it was important to explain this part too. Not many people yet know how blockchain technology works; you can’t ignore the importance of explaining it.
This app demo video begins with the story about the traditional methods of making deals and then seamlessly transitions the viewers to modern approaches that offer more convenient and safe ways of purchasing based on blockchain.
