How important is Android Package name?

Question

I have app development company to build my app, and recently when we published the app I noticed the Package name is "com.developers_company.myapp_name"

How important is it to change this to "com.myapp_name"? And should I insist on this or keep it as it is if it has no effect on me in the future?

Also, if a change is to be made, how much time would it require

App includes: web view, payment gateways, login (Facebook,twitter, Google) etc etc

How important is it to change this to "com.myapp_name"?

package Id (bundle Id is name used on iOS) does not really matter except for the moments you see it like in the case of play store links. Yet, the only thing that technically matters is to make it unique among all published apps (which it is the case, otherwise you would not be able to publish).

However, as you already have app published, you are not able to change your package Id. It's already sealed. Forget it. The only thing you can do if you insist of having different package it is to withdraw current app from the store and publish the new one (even if the only thing that differs is the package Id). So if you want to do that and your user base is yet tiny, better hurry up.
