App Studio - App Name Length / Fitment

Sam_Donabedian · 2025-05-23T20:12:55+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Within App Studio's landing page, we are finding that the limitations associated with how many characters we can fit prior to needing to hover over the name of the app is resulting in poor user experience.

Example: We have an application named "Merchandising Recommendations". Here, not only does "Merchandising" not fit on one line, the second line is "g…" and "Recommendations is completely unavailable. It does not look good.

We would like to see (1) fitment improved and / or (2) enablement to update the name on the landing page and the name within the page itself independently (e.g., short name "Merch Recs" on the landing page and long name "Merchandising Recommendations" when the application is opened up).

I think they leaned into the icons too hard like it's an iphone home screen, when really what we all want is a list view

Yes! I think this problem is compounded by the fact that you can't control the organization of App Studio Apps, so the only thing you have is the name, and the name has to be super-short, so it would be difficult to add a descriptive prefix to apps you wanted to be grouped together.

This was my idea coming at the same problem from the organization side:
