When I type:
heroku apps:create myapp
I get an answer:
! Name is already taken
When I go to the url http://myapp.herokuapp.com/ it says that Heroku doesn't have such an app:
Is this some bug? How may I take the name?
UPD
Of course "myapp" is for an example name here. Of course I provide different name to Heroku when I try to register. And for that different name I get such a response.

Renaming an application If you want to change the application name from outside the Git checkout or application folder, you can type the following command: $ heroku apps:rename newname --app oldname http://newname.heroku.com/ ...
After a second or two, Heroku will have created a new app and have chosen a random name for it. This ensures that your app name is globally unique across the entire Heroku platform, making it possible to use the app name as a part of your domain name.
A 'Free' tier Heroku account allows up to 5 apps.

This error message means that somebody - ANYBODY - has already taken that app name. In this example "myapp" has already been taken. Try adding some additional letters to "myapp" such as "myapp-this-name-has-not-been-taken-yet"
Keep trying different names until the error message goes away.
