Spot Scams Before They Get You
Free · In‑App Purchases
2. APP PURPOSE
SHIELD is a free, gamified scam awareness education app for everyday consumers. Americans lost $10B+ to fraud in 2023, yet there's no structured way for consumers to build scam recognition skills.
Users take interactive quizzes built from real-world scam scenarios (phishing, romance scams, crypto schemes, etc.), track a Preparedness Score, earn achievements, and compete on a leaderboard. The core experience is free.
Scam-to-Quiz: Users submit scam content (text, URLs, screenshots, or via iOS Share Sheet) which AI analyzes and converts into quizzes. Each submission uses 1 credit (premium subscribers get 10/month).
Premium ($5.99/mo or $49.99/yr): 10 monthly submission credits plus a Scam Defense Score — a personalized risk assessment enriched with Have I Been Pwned breach data.
3. TEST CREDENTIALS & INSTRUCTIONS

Ratings & Reviews
Reliability improvements: fixed the share-extension flow so scams shared from other apps now correctly route into SHIELD after sign-in.
Added defensive UI states throughout the subscription paywall.
Behind-the-scenes upgrade to Expo SDK 55 (React Native 0.83) for performance and security improvements.
