Ice fishing listing checks before install

Test protocol for reading an ice fishing App Store page before you spend storage. Checked fields match what Dood Studio records on the packice shortlist.

Genre and age first

Sports versus Adventure changes expectations. 13+ versus 4+ is a store fact, not a desk opinion. Write both down before you watch the trailer.

Size and OS floor

30MB and 470MB are different evenings. iOS 12+ versus iOS 15+ decides whether the ice fishing session fits the phone you already carry.

Commerce line

Free, Free with IAP, or Free with ads and IAP — copy the listing wording. Do not invent “no ads” from a screenshot.

Version and update date

Record the version string exactly (151 is not 1.5.1). Note the update date so a later re-check has a baseline.

Ratings sample, not vibes

Stars without count are incomplete. Ten ratings and 159K ratings are different evidence. Low averages stay visible.

Absent download totals

On App Store ice fishing titles in this desk’s set, public download counts are not published. Mark the field absent instead of borrowing a third-party guess.

Close

Result: a one-page checklist you can reuse on the next ice fishing listing. Install still happens on the store.
