Goal

Enter the app name and app description that Apple and Google display on your store listings. These are the first thing a shopper sees in the App Store and on Google Play — and MAM Suite requires both before it will let you submit your app for review.

You only enter them once. The same description goes to both stores.

Prerequisites

• You are signed in to WordPress as an admin (the Publish Your App page requires the manage_options capability).
• MAM Suite is installed and your account code is verified. If the Publish Your App page shows an account-code error instead of the settings panels, resolve that first — see Recipe: Customer enrollment and account code.
• You have decided on the name you want to ship under. Picking a final name now avoids a re-submission later.

You do not need your App Store Connect or Google Play accounts connected to fill in this info — feel free to enter your listing text whenever it’s convenient, even mid-build. Connecting those accounts is a separate step, on the same page.

Steps

1. Open the Publish Your App page

In WordPress admin, go to Mobile App Manager → Publish Your App.

When it opens, you’ll see a publishing-status summary at the top, a list of anything still blocking you, and then a series of settings panels — starting with App Store Information.

2. Find the App Store Information panel

The App Store Information panel introduces itself in the app as “Core metadata used when submitting your app to Apple and Google.” It holds two fields:

• App Name
• App Description

If the blocker checklist near the top of the page still lists App name or App description as not done, click the Fill in below link next to either one — it’ll jump you straight to this panel.

3. Enter your App Name

In the App Name field, type the name you want shoppers to see on your store listings.

A few things worth knowing:

• This is the public-facing name shoppers see and search for, not an internal label you use for yourself.
• Keep it short. Both stores truncate long names in search results and on the listing tile, so the shortest clear version of your name tends to read best.
• The name is saved as plain text — formatting and HTML are stripped on save.

4. Write your App Description

In the App Description field, describe what your app does, who it’s for, and what makes it worth downloading — the field shows that same prompt as placeholder text, in case you need the reminder.

One important thing: this single description goes to both the Apple App Store and Google Play. The app reminds you of this directly beneath the field. Write it so it reads naturally on either store, and skip any wording that only makes sense on one platform.

Guidance for a strong description:

• Lead with the value: a shopper only sees the first line or two before they have to tap “more,” so put your most compelling reason to download right up front.
• Describe real features and benefits in plain language.
• Avoid promising anything your app doesn’t actually do — both stores reject listings for inaccurate descriptions.

The description field accepts basic post-style formatting when you save, but plain paragraphs are still the safest choice for a store listing.

5. Save your App Settings

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save App Settings.

You’ll see an App settings saved confirmation appear. Once both the App Name and App Description are filled in, those two items on the blocker checklist flip to done — one less thing standing between you and submitting your app.

What’s next

• Add your app icon. This same page has an App icon requirement — a square 1024×1024 PNG used by both stores. See Upload your app icon.
• Connect your developer accounts. Before MAM Suite can publish on your behalf, it needs your App Store Connect and Google Play Console accounts connected — the Publish Your App page walks you through inviting MAM Suite as an admin on each.
• Submit for review. Once the listing info, icon, and accounts are all green, you can publish to the App Store and Google Play from this same page. See Recipe: Publish your app to iOS and Android.
