What it does

• A grade in secondsPaste a link and get a grade from A to F, a trust score out of 100 and the red flags behind it, in plain words.
• Works with the links you actually getA full link, a short link like bit.ly, or a whole message with a link in it. Links from social media ads are cleaned up, and if a site forwards you elsewhere, you see which shop you'd really pay.
• Shop somewhere saferWhen a shop gets a bad grade, the app suggests trusted shops that sell the same kind of thing.
• Watchlist and alertsBookmark a shop to watch it. Your watchlist is re-checked daily and you get an alert if a grade drops.
• Family LinkLink up to 6 phones with a simple code to share one watchlist. Handy for keeping an eye out for parents or kids. No account needed.
• Live feed and historySee what other shoppers are checking right now, and keep your own recent checks on your phone.
• Help other shoppersVote on shops and report stolen photos or false advertising. Every report helps the next person.
• Already paid?A risky grade comes with the steps to get your money back. Pro adds a dispute kit with a dated PDF report for your claim.
