    Does Lumia 730 doesn't show app names in second line and they cut as screen ends

    Hi. Are you referring to the app list for the app names? How about the song name? This is under Music, correct? If yes, this is the behavior of the phone. In this case, we suggest raising this here:

    We look forward to your reply.
