I like these more for their aesthetic properties than for any technical or sales-focussed reason. I really have no idea how well any of these would convert.
Developer of @justlanded here :) Thanks for appreciating our landing page – @partlysean did a great job on it. We also recently released Patchmania which has a neat landing page you might like: http://getpatchmania.com
Honestly, because we're an app company rather than an e-commerce or SaaS company, a lot of the effort we put into these pages is largely for the benefit of the press (who often research apps on desktop). The vast majority of end users discover our apps through the App Stores themselves, so we put even more effort into our icon, screenshots, app preview, description, keywords etc.
As for conversion rates, sadly Apple hasn't opened up any analytics to developers for their actual App Store product pages (even though they announced they would a year ago at WWDC), so what users are doing when browsing the actual stores is largely a black box - we have no idea how many people view our app store previews or screenshots etc. or even where they came from (many deep-linking schemes we've looked at are pretty brittle or don't work at all).
Conversion rates on the website landing pages are pretty good - there's not much else to do on those pages than download the app, and chances are you came there with that goal.
I didn't realize this is an active project that happens recently until you reply. It looks nice but in a 2 year ago way. You demo is in iOS6, that is so ancient. I would immediately get turned away by it
GetJustLanded.com is nice and clean, the mobile perspective is very simple and straightforward but the desktop view feels rich enough. I do wonder if the transition to the iTunes store hurts even though iTunes has strong brand recognition.
The other two don't support mobile (at least in FF or Chrome; firewatch is bugged) which is an unfortunate oversight by now.
+1 for http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com and their other similar designed pages/apps. Beautiful, artistic and original vs. the same old same bootstrap seen that 100 times type of design that is flooding this thread & the web.
Came here to post Kaleidoscope. It's been years since I last saw that page, and as soon as I saw the question, it was the first answer that came to mind.
