How the Ice Fishing jigger checks and corrects facts
The rules this jigger works to: where a fact comes from, what a check date means, when a list is read again and how a mistake is put right.
Where do the facts come from?
From the public App Store listing of each app and from nowhere else: rating, number of ratings, genre, price model, age rating, size, minimum iOS version, current version, last update date and store id. Third-party trackers, press coverage and developer statements are not used as sources of listing facts.
What does a check date mean?
The date shown on a card or review, currently 9 November 2026, is the day the listing was read. It does not promise the listing is unchanged since. Where a store shows an approximate update date, the page says "about" in front of it.
What is never shown?
A figure the store does not publish. The App Store has no public install counter, so no page here carries a download count, estimate or range. A missing figure is stated in words, not left as a silent gap.
How is the order decided?
Rating and rating count are inputs, together with how well a loop suits long, spaced-out sessions. The order is a judgement and is written as one. A score resting on a few ratings is marked as a thin sample and ranked with that in mind.
When is the list read again?
When a new version appears, when a rating moves enough to change a sentence, or when a reader points out a mistake. Each re-read changes the check date on the pages it touches.
How are corrections made?
A correction request goes to [email protected] or through the contact page, ideally with the listing address and the line in doubt. A confirmed error is fixed on the page, and the fix is dated here.
9 November 2026: launch check of four listings. No corrections to log yet.
Does anyone pay for placement?
No. The jigger has no commercial tie to any developer or store. Store links are plain addresses with no referral parameters and carry rel="nofollow". More on the independence statement.
