How this Ice Fishing almanac picks a line

The four URLs were given. I did not go hunting for a fifth to make a rounder number. Rank inside those four is mine, and it is dated 21 September 2026.

What was weighed

  • Public rating and the size of the sample. Derby 2 is 4.8 from 1,149. Nothing else on this card has a four-digit sample.
  • Whether the price model is printed clearly: paid, free with purchases, advertising yes or no.
  • How recently the current version was dated on the store.
  • Whether the description still talks about ice, derbies, lakes, or bait — i.e. whether the card is still the product the URL claims.

What was not weighed

  • Download counts. Apple does not publish them on these pages.
  • My own high score. This desk does not host the binary, so I am not publishing a personal session log as if it were a benchmark.
  • Paid placement. There isn’t one.
  • Genre labels as a tie-break. All four cards sit in Games / Sports on the lookup I used; the public pages also say Sports.
