 We were to read Top 10 Tips for Naming Your App. It starts off by comparing the success of an app's name to the household ghost names of celebrities. It is very important that the name leaves a great first impression on users. If there are many similar apps that your app must compete with it is a very good idea to have an instantly distinct name compared to the rest. Icon design is best used when it is simple but also gives the user an idea of what the app's function is. Choosing a prefix or suffix for your app can be tricky because they can make it seem recognizable but it would also lose originality. You defiantly don't what to duplicate a name that already exists. If you are thinking about a name while you in development, Apple only allows 120 days to submit the full code or your name will be up for grabs. Think of using two words to name your app, one that tells the main function, and one that enhances the idea of your invention. Don't copy or sound like your copying. Make it clear, tell what your app is about. Keep it easy to pronounce, especially if it's name is a new word. In order to sound trustworthy, keep your name conventional as far as capitalization goes. Aim for something under 11 characters. Choose a prefix or suffix, but be careful. A random name generator might actually help if your are completely stumped. Be absolutely sure that you are not using another trademarked name for your app.It might take time for you to come up with the perfect name for your app, but it's worth the wait.

We also learned about personas. These are archetypes made on basic motives and behaviors gathered through actual observant research. This will determine the target audience.
