Hello all,

Let me share the current state about title, summary and description
fields. Currently, the store API exposes these fields for each snap
(among others):

package_name -> the "technical" package name, such as generic-amd64 
(not-editable, but could change due to name disputes or similar)
name -> fully qualified name of a package, such as "generic-amd64.canonical" 
(not-editable, same remark as before)
summary -> the package summary, matches the summary field in the snap.yaml file 
(editable from Store UI)
description -> the package description, matches the description field in the 
snap.yaml file (editable from Store UI)
title -> the human readable string for a package, initially is filled with the 
snap name, but can be edited from the Store UI

There is a pending improvement from snappy so the title is also required
in the snap.yaml, once that is done, the store will use that to populate
the title field.

For current examples:

https://search.apps.ubuntu.com/api/v1/package/generic-amd64
https://search.apps.ubuntu.com/api/v1/package/bar

So specifically to this bug report, I think the Gnome Software should
always use the 'title' property from the Store results as the human
readable string to show to the user.
