Expected Output:

Application information
  Get application information with v2
    returns the app information as a JSON hash
  Get application information with v3
    returns the app information as a JSON hash
  Get recent application actions v2
    returns information from 10 actions
    grabs the latest actions
  Get recent application actions v3
    returns information from 10 actions
    grabs the latest actions

Actual Output:

Application information
  returns information from 10 actions
  grabs the latest actions
  returns information from 10 actions
  grabs the latest actions
  Get application information with v2
    returns the app information as a JSON hash
  Get application information with v3
    returns the app information as a JSON hash
