Client brief

We're building a company that fosters a community around app discovery. We find that the Apple Store is doing a poor job of allowing people to find apps so we're building a social component to finding apps. Right now there are over 1M apps on the app store and finding the right one can be very difficult.

We've decided to go the simplistic modern feel for the app, just like Fancy, Fab and Apple. Our product is simple, yet powerful and social. The shorter the name the better. Our users will have to be able to say the name without it being a mouthful. We'd like for it to roll of the tongue, be visually appealing and somewhat modern.

We're looking for a .com, but we'd like to eventually extend our services to the web as well as mobile. We'd like to appeal to all audiences, not just the tech community. However, if you can find a name that rings "next big thing" without making it too abstract, that would be amazing.

The main thing to focus on here is that the concept is "Apps With Friends." Keep it social.

When thinking of a word, I'd like to have the user understand the meaning of the app right from the name. "A Way to Find Apps With Your Friends."

Naming tips for Apps With Friends

Keep it pronounceable

A good business name should be easy to say out loud and spell from memory. If you have to spell it out every time you say it, it will slow down word-of-mouth growth.

.com still beats clever TLDs

Despite hundreds of new extensions, .com remains the most trusted TLD for professional brands. Customers default to typing .com - pick a .com name whenever possible.

Avoid trademark traps

Before you register, run a quick trademark search to make sure the name is clear in your industry. Similar names in the same category can lead to costly disputes later.

Test it in a sentence

Say "I work at [name]" or "Check us out at [name].com" out loud. The name should sound natural, confident, and memorable in everyday conversation.
