FAQ
How do I come up with a good app name?
Pick something short (one or two words), easy to say and spell, and not already used by another app. Then add what the app does after a colon, like “Mealy: Meal Planner”, so the name works for search too. The generator above does both and checks the App Store.
How long can an app name be?
30 characters on both the App Store and Google Play. Use the brand part for recognition and the rest for your main keyword. Check the rest of your metadata with the ASO keyword tool for the App Store or the Google Play ASO tool.
Can two apps have the same name?
Not on the App Store: App Store Connect rejects a name another developer already uses. Google Play allows it, but a name close to a known app can break its impersonation policy, and a trademarked name can get your app removed on both stores.
Does “not found on the App Store” mean the name is free?
It means no app with that name shows up in Apple’s search in that country. A developer can reserve a name in App Store Connect before launching, and the name may be a trademark. Check trademark databases and the domain before you commit.
Should the app name include keywords?
Yes, if it fits: the app name is the strongest field for App Store and Google Play search. Keep the brand first and the keyword second — “Brand: Keyword” — so it still reads like a name. More in App Store keywords.
