Made an app yesterday and published it on google play, i put the name of the app in the search line and the app doesn't show, at all!! hundreds of other apps who's title don't even have one of the words my app has show in the search results, but my app just don't... this is so stupid and frustrating, you make an app and it's UN-findable!
