Keyword Stuffing in App Titles: Where Google Draws the Line

Google Play limits app titles to 30 characters and has specific policy language against keyword stuffing — titles that cram searchable terms in rather than naming the app clearly. "MyApp - Photo Editor Filters Collage Maker Pro" is a textbook example that risks a listing policy flag.

The nuance: a short, relevant subtitle-style addition ("MyApp: Photo Editor") is generally fine — the violation threshold is about density and relevance, not the mere presence of a second descriptive word.

The fix

Fix: limit your title to your app name plus one clear, relevant descriptor — not a list of every feature.
