We should be compatible with other apps stores unless there is a specific
reason not to be.

* Google Play, Amazon, and iTunes all have 4000 char descriptions

For the summary, we can just bump it up to the same as what Play has
* Google Play allows an 80 char "Short Description"

* Amazon allows a 1200 char "Short Description"
