Forecast: 27% of apps in the App Store will be renamed

Due to Apple’s new guidelines, at least 27% of applications will have to be renamed. This is reported by the analytical company Sensor Tower.

Apple will “clean up” the App Store from September 7. Two types of programs will be removed: those that do not correspond to the latest guidelines and those whose names are longer than 50 characters.

Sensor Tower experts believe that due to innovations, at least 27% of applications will have to be renamed. The company got the figures by studying 1.5 thousand top applications in the American App Store.

Interestingly, among the free projects, the number of those that need to be renamed is greater than among the paid ones and than among the top ones at the box office. Google Maps, Amazon App and the Match dating service were among the “wrong” applications.
