Google has just announced a set of new policies and guidelines for how Android apps can present themselves in the Google Play Store. This is meant to ensure that end users are not misled by app listings.
Google Play Store Clean Up
The company is starting today, Apr. 29, by pre-announcing an upcoming policy change to keep app metadata recognizable and unique, according to The Verge.
App title, icon, and developer name are considered the most important discovery elements on your store listing page.
The first thing that Google will do is limit the length of app titles to 30 characters. It will also prohibit keywords that imply store performance, promotion in the icon, title, and developer name. It will also eliminate graphic elements that may mislead users in the app icon.
