Hi,
We have a calling app, and its name is "Talk."
I'd like to ask you to check if the following subtitles are OK or not for the app.
(FYI, its icon shows a telephone image, so you can easily understand that this is a calling app.) 

No.1
Talk - High Quality Sound

No.2
Talk - with High Quality Sound

No.3
Talk - High Quality Voice Calls

Besides, would you please tell me which one is the best??

Thank you!!!

Those are not called subtitles. They are slogans or taglines.
No. 3 is the best but it is rather common and lacks the punch for a tagline.

Thank you for your response, tedmc!

However, in the Apple's guideline, the word "subtitle" is used.

  • 1.
