App Filter Title should Rely on App Name

The app filter title and the app title as of right now are separate. Why not have them unified? Take for example an app filter (in the dashboard) on my site is called article as seen here. But on my profile it's called "Content". Why not have the app filter name "article" rely on the article app's title? This way if I change "Content" to "Pages" the app filter will also change accordingly. This same logic should be applied to the other app filters. This way we keep consistency through out a site and it will reduce confusion.
Hi Josh,

exactly the same issue I got from my Test Teams, they actually requested to remove the Filters since it's will cause confusion having a list of Filters and Apps.

Technically speaking I could manually go in and figure out the language constant and use a language over ride. But for something like this we should not have to do this. Most language strings the over ride method makes sense, but not when it comes to a title that we as the admins get to already choose.

Hey guys,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Thanks for the great insights on this but there are times where the context of the "filter" might not be the same the app's name. For instance, if your filter is called "Friends", I would think that this would filter out your friends activity but it would make more sense if it's called "Connections" or something similar?

Does this make sense?
