I am using the aps journal template and appendices are added by using

\appendix
\section{bla bla}

So the result I get is:

"Appendix A: bla bla"

However I would like to know how to change the "Appendix A" for "App A" for example.

Thanks

\renewcommand\appendixname{App} – Gonzalo Medina Aug 15 '15 at 03:39
Close voters: I don't think the chosen duplicate is very appropriate. Even though the answer is thee, it focuses on more than just changing the appendix name, and uses the appendix package, which is not needed here. – Alan Munn Aug 15 '15 at 06:16
Gonzalo Medina's solution is not what I am looking for, because I indeed tried it but it is not the solution. – Eduardo Aug 15 '15 at 19:44
@Eduardo Can you post small document which shows the problem. What Gonzalo suggested should work. For example if I create a minimal document with \documentclass{revtex4-1} and issue that \renewcommand the appendix name is correctly changed. See whether this question has a better answer for you How to change the name of document elements like "Figure", "Contents", "Bibliography" etc.? – Alan Munn Aug 16 '15 at 14:45
Alan Munn, the link you added had the solution for my problem: it was a compatibility issue with the babel page. Thanks. – Eduardo Aug 17 '15 at 02:41
