Description
I need to submit my first report that funding this app is not intuitive. I heard any the app from patch.com, but I only was able to find the app by going back to the article. The first thing a person would search is "Malden", but putting that in did not return the app and even after finding the app, the name itself doesn't say this is for Malden (it says City of Boston). If you want this app the be used, it helps to be easy to find and appropriately named.

If you change the description to include Malden, it can help with getting Google Play to pick up the app (I haven't work on the iPhone in a while, so I don't remember how it works anymore for its ranking of apps). Google Play's ranking of apps is not documented, but the general understanding that it ranks (in order):
Title
Relevant keywords in your description
Amount of downloads
Speed of downloads vs release date
Star rating
The bottom 3, all you can do is improve quality (and advertise). However, putting keywords like "Malden" in description may allow it to be searchable when someone search Malden and other likely words after hearing about the app. Please pass that to your vendor and make sure they do that. I'm reopening to make sure you get this information.
