How to choose a great app name

  1. 1

    Keep it to one or two words; app icons and store listings truncate long names.

  2. 2

    Search the App Store and Play Store before committing — a clash means you'll be buried in results.

  3. 3

    Prefer names people can spell after hearing them once; word-of-mouth is your cheapest install channel.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check if an app name is taken?
Search both app stores, the domain, and the social handles. Store names must be unique within each store, so check early.
Should my app name include what it does?
A hint helps discovery (e.g. 'Sleep' in a sleep app), but a purely descriptive name is hard to own. Many apps use a distinctive name plus a descriptive subtitle in the store.
Does the app name affect App Store rankings?
Yes — keywords in the name carry weight in store search. Balance a memorable brand with one relevant keyword where it fits naturally.
