# Change Package Name

All Android apps have a package name. The package name uniquely identifies the app on the device; it is also unique in the Google Play store.

In Motors App there is a specific package name that is used: **com.stylemixthemes.motors** You should change it to your own package name, for example, **com.mycompany.name** where the mycompany will be the name of your brand.

To change the package name you need to follow some steps.

In your **Project panel**, click on the little gear icon.
