I've installed some Android apps like Teamviewer, but it shows as "com" on the Sailfish app drawer. There is also no icon to be seen. And running the app doesn't work.
But if you have installed any Android Launcher (like Go launcher) and try to run the app within the launcher, it DOES work. This is a bug that could be hopefully be fixed.

This problem has been solved for me (SailfishOS 1.5.0.16 - 19), all android apps I installed have the right icon and name.

This may related to this question
But for me it's because the permission issue (run as devel-su):
chmod 777 -R /home/nemo/android_storage/
This worked for me. I don't know why this happend, for I never change the permission of this folder.
On Sailfish OS: 1.1.4.29

I've come across a few too. For example the Android app for using http://www.skyscanner.net ends up with just 'net' on the screen and no icon. It does however still work.
I installed it from the Yandex store though I think I also tried it from Amazon also.
