While this is tidy, and seems logical to you, are your users as keenly
aware of your company name as you are? I put it to you that they are
not. They may be familiar with the app's name, but the company that
wrote it? Much less likely unless you're overdoing its presence in the
app. This is probably not a major issue, but if I wanted to find out
where my math drills were stored, I might not immediately realise that
the "Instant Interactive" folder was the place to look.
For the product I'm working on now the company name is likely to be
highly minimised, being only part of the small print in the copyright
notice. This is a deliberate choice - it's the product that matters,
not who we are.
Still, the consensus appears to be to use the app's name rather than
the bundle identifier. So I'll probably go with that just for the sake
of fitting in.
cheers, Graham
