I'm at a total loss here and have nowhere to turn.
I made an app, set a name as Test App. Working fine. Update the name under Display Information to Dashboard App. Then I click Install your app to your workplace and authorize it.
And... nothing.
I've restarted slack. I've waited now 8 hours. I've tried again. I changed the Bot name itself. Yet the thing still says Test App

To use your Slack App as a bot, first you'll need to create a Bot User for it. Head to your app's settings page and click the Bot Users feature in the navigation menu. You'll be presented with a button marked Add a Bot User , and when you click on it, you'll see a screen where you can configure your app's bot user with the following info:
Open the Slack app. From your computer’s top menu bar, click Slack. Select About Slack. You’ll see the App Store mentioned in the pop-up window if that’s the version of the app you’re using. Open the Slack app. On Windows 8, click Help in the top left of the Slack app.
Open the App Store on your computer. Click Updates in the left sidebar. If there are available updates for Slack under Pending, click Update. Click the help icon. Below App update, click the available app version, then click Restart Slack .
Make sure your Slack workspace is allowed to send notifications. Note: You'll only get notifications for workspaces that you have open in your browser. Tip: Power saving mode or performance optimization apps may also prevent Slack from sending notifications. If using one of these, try disabling it or whitelisting Slack.
Found a different solution that updated immediately, which I had to do AFTER I did what was described by @plowman, to have the changes reflected in Slack:

To edit the app name after it has been installed, you have to find the app in the "App Directory" for your Slack workspace.
First, open Slack, tap on the workspace name ("Raikes" in this case), tap "Settings & Administration", then "Manage Apps":
Next, scroll down to "Bot User" and edit the bot name to be whatever you want:
