App Store and Google Play naming tips

Apple allows up to 30 characters for the app name and 30 for the subtitle; Google Play allows 30 for the title. A common pattern is "Brand: Keyword Phrase", for example "Focusly: Study Timer". Do not use competitor brand names in your title. Both stores may reject it. Check that the name is not already used by a popular app, and that it looks good on the icon label (about 12 characters show under the icon).
