Bug Description
On a Ubuntu Touch phone, navigate to the app lens and long-press any core app to see its application preview. Considering that the core apps come preinstalled on the phone, they need to provide better app previews. You will notice that the following mistakes,
- Many times the short and long description are exactly the same leading to duplicate sentences being shown
- App Descriptions are too small
- Screenshots need to be updated with the latest designs or completely missing (in case of gallery-app, friends, system settings)
Clock App
- Application tagline and description are duplicated. The description can be a bit more elaborate.
Friends App
- Missing Screenshots and an app description. Only the tagline is shown
- No developer team name/author mentioned
Shorts App
- Tagline and app description start with same phrase. This could be improved better. The app description could perhaps elaborate on the features that shorts app provides like the ability to add remote feeds etc.
Calculator App
- Tagline and app description are duplicated
- Screenshot #2 doesn't look good. For instance, it could show the names of the calculation instead of showing an empty label
Music App
- Application tagline and description are duplicated
- Screenshots needs to be updated with the current design
Gallery App
- No screenshots provided
Camera App
- No screenshots. What I mean here is that perhaps a screenshots of the interface with buttons can be shown.
Media Player App
- No screenshots, description or tagline
- Developer name/author also missing
System Settings
- Tagline and app description missing
- Developer name/author missing
Dialer App, Messaging App, Contacts App, Browser App
- App description missing
- Developer team name/author missing

I think the order of importance is:
1) Improve the descriptions. This is something that those who have access to the core app click store account can do without pushing an app update. Most need some love.
2) Add previews for the apps that have none or need updates. Again, only those who have access to the core app click store account can do this and it doesn't require an app update.
For the music app, #1 should be fixed at some point. The screenshots do not deviate much from the current app, so I do not think that is needed at this time.
