App Name "s c e n i c" and Spotlight/App search

#1 · 26.11.2022, 18:19

Due to the spaces between letters, Spotlight often hesitates suggesting "s c e n i c" when I type the first letters. Especially, after I visited the website and forum on my phone and the Safari history is full of "scenic.app" URLs. See this screenshot:

Normally, Scenic should be a "Top Hit" even after typing only few letters. But due to the spaces, it's not.

(The same problem also exists on Mac with Alfred. However, Spotlight on macOS works fine and suggests the app first.)

Im not sure this is a scenic problem. Rather a spotlight issue. I’ve had this issue also with other apps, like the Wise app.

I don’t really want to change the spaces. It looks nicer under the app icon in my opinion 🙂

If you're enjoying Scenic and are happy with the support, please leave a nice rating in the App Store. It would mean a lot to me ❤️

While I agree that it looks nice and fits perfectly below the icon, it also sticks out like a sore thumb on the homescreen because all other apps don't use spaces between their letters. 😉

But I can live with the spaces. So no worries.
