Recommendations

  • Consistency is Key
    Ensure that the app name you provide matches exactly to the one used in the Apple App Store to prevent any confusion or errors during app identification.
  • Avoid Using Special Characters
    Special characters or emojis in the app name might not be recognized properly across all platforms or devices. Stick to alphanumeric characters whenever possible.
