Tired of your jerk friends on Facebook spoiling Scandal, The Walking Dead, or True Detective for you? (Some people just don’t GET IT!) Well, that ends now.
Spoiler Shield is an app you can download on your smartphone that will allow you to “shield” yourself from posts you’re trying to avoid. You can browse by category to start (Television, Academy Awards, NBA, MLB, NFL, Winter Olympics, etc.). Clicking through then breaks down each category. Since this isn’t a sports blog, clicking on “Television,” for example, gives you options like American Horror Story, Survivor, American Idol, Game of Thrones, Orange is the New Black, How I Met Your Mother and a bunch more. Simply connect the app to your Facebook and Twitter profiles, then click the little switch to turn that shield on for whatever show you’re trying to avoid reading about, and you’re good to go. YOU ARE SPOILER FREE!
It feels good, doesn’t it? 
You can also search for the shows you’re looking for, but the major players are all displayed and waiting for your click. (I tried searching for Real World and The Challenge to see if other options existed that weren’t displayed in the category, but nothing came up. Spoiler Shield clearly wants me to stop watching shitty TV.)
Oh, and FYI sports fans – the League categories break down into specific teams. So there’s that too.
Spoiler Shield is free and available to download in the iTunes App Store or Google Play (Chrome Extension, coming soon). It has the power to change lives, people!
This is amazing!!! Now I can stop wishing terrible things on my coworkers and family. Cheers!
This is pretty clever, although I’ve just gotten to the point where I watch shows years later, and don’t remember anything that happened live. My social circle is such that it affords me that luxury 🙂 I finally am caught up on 24 though, so I guess that’ll be my first real test in awhile.
