Google Play name checker: is your app name taken?

Q: Can I use a name that another Android app already has?

Google Play allows duplicate names, but an identical or very similar name in the same category confuses users and invites a complaint, especially if the other developer owns a trademark.

Q: Can I change my app’s name later?

Yes. You can change the title in the Play Console without losing your ratings or installs. The package name can’t change.

Q: Which country does it search?

The US store. Most apps that matter there show up worldwide, but local apps in other countries may not appear.

What this checks

We search the US Google Play store for your name and list the apps whose names match it, contain it or look close to it, with each developer and a link to the listing.

How Google Play names work

An app title on Google Play can be up to 30 characters.
Unlike the App Store, Google Play doesn’t reserve names. You can publish with a name another app already uses.
That doesn’t make it safe. Google can remove apps whose name or listing impersonates another app or brand, and the other developer can file a complaint.
Your package name (like com.yourco.app) is permanent once you publish, and no two apps can share one.
