Exact name searches on iOS App Store Are Not Supposed to Work
I released an app on iOS app store last week.
It was indexed right on desktop itunes app store.
No problem
But on the mobile iOS app store if you search my apps name exactly it returns "Google Drive"
Now if when you searched "Google Drive" my app came up first, Google would probably call Apple and have that solved in lets say 15 mins.
But Ive been told by Apple that a search for my app's exact name should return "Google Drive" as an initial result and then the user should have to scroll 22 more times to reach my app.
That even though my apps name was typed in EXACTLY that my "placement" isnt guaranteed. So when someones earch for your exact app by its exact name and doesnt find it. Now you know why, its by design, unless your big enough for Apple to care about.
