Surprising how difficult this process is. You'd think that publishers would be careful about having matching names and icons so that it'd be easy for people on Android to find an app when they see an equivalent in the apple App Store.
It's hard to ask of the publishers, especially the long tail, to keep everything 100% consistent. Just like how brands, models and other metadata of the same consumer goods are wildly inconsistent across Amazon, Sears etc. Perhaps a more realistic solution would be if the handful of major stores expressed some goodwill and supported something like onepf.org, or maybe allowed publishers to list URLs to versions on other platforms and not just pretend like they are the only appstore in the world, but until then...
