📱 Getting your app ready: name, icon, tabs
Everything happens in your site's admin → Your site → App. The preview on the right changes as soon as you save.
The name
- App name: what people see in the stores (30 characters max). Empty: your artist name.
- Name under the icon: what fans see on their home screen (12 characters max). Keep it short:
Vinny Rebelfits, a long name would be cut off.
The icon
- A square PNG or JPG, at least 1024 × 1024 pixels.
- No transparency and no rounded corners: phones round them on their own.
- Keep what matters in the middle: Android may cut it into a circle. A simple logo reads better than a photo, since the icon is tiny on a phone.
The launch screen
The colour behind your icon for the second while the app opens. It starts from your site's background colour.
The tabs
Choose the tabs and their order. Home and About are always there. Past 5 tabs, the rest go under More. A tab with nothing in it stays hidden until you add something.
The colours
Nothing to do: the app takes the colours of your skin (Appearance). If you change your skin, the app follows by itself.
The About page photo
It's your artist profile photo (Settings → Artist profile). The app shows it large and centered: pick a photo where you're in the middle of the picture.
Your app's ID
At the first build, your app gets an ID in the stores (for example com.yourname.app). It's shown on the App page. The stores never allow changing it afterwards.
