screen 11
Opens cold on a pure social-proof wall before any value: 3.5M members, Apple Design Award, '#1 EQ app in the world.' No carousel, no 'what is this'. Just three credibility hammers and a 'Let's go!' CTA. Confident framing that assumes the brand has already done the convincing in the App Store.

The real welcome screen with the mascot and brand promise ('Control your emotions, control your life'). 'Get started' primary, 'I already have an account' secondary, ToS/Privacy inline. Standard, clean, but note this sits at screen 5, after the social-proof intro, so first impression was credentials, not product.

Hard email/password signup gated *before* any value delivery. Name, email, password with validation rules. This is asks_email_before_value and a real friction point: they're demanding account creation before the user has experienced a single quiz question or insight. Aggressive for an EQ app; bet this is a measurable drop-off.

'Fair Trial Policy' screen. Frames the paywall morally ('we depend on your support to pay our mental health experts') and anchors price against 'a movie ticket' before any number is shown. Smart pre-paywall priming: lowers the eventual sticker shock and reframes paying as supporting a mission.

Quiz question 1 of 10 with a progress bar. Slider-based EQ self-assessment ('I get hot like a jalapeño' vs 'I stay cool as a cucumber'). Playful, low-effort input (slider not multiple choice), mascot-narrated. This is the personalization engine that feeds the emotional profile reveal.

App-tracking permission ask, softly framed as 'gather anonymous data to better include self-growth into your day.' Pre-primes the iOS ATT pop-up ('Allow app tracking on the next pop-up'). Placed mid-quiz, away from the paywall, which is the standard play to lift opt-in rates.

Payoff moment: 'Your emotional profile' radar chart across Composure/Confidence/Positivity/Productivity/Tranquility with a named 'Superpower' and 'Growth area.' This is the personalization moment that justifies the 10-question quiz. Gives the user a result that feels earned and sets up the journeys upsell.

'Pick your journeys'. Recommends content tracks (Confidence 88% match, Procrastination, Anxiety, Positivity) with 'XXXk learners' social proof per card. Goal-setting + commitment mechanic; pre-selecting the top match and showing learner counts nudges multi-journey selection.

Press/authority logos. Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge. 'developed by leading behavior-change scientists.' shows_press_logos. Borrowed credibility stacked right before the paywall to make the price feel like access to serious science, not a wellness app.

screen 4444
Commitment device: 'Do 5 min of Ahead for 5 days' and a draw-a-happy-face interaction ending in 'I commit to myself.' Behavioral pre-commitment to raise perceived value (and reduce refunds) before the price reveal. Has a 'Skip.'

screen 4646
Notification permission ask, stat-justified ('members who use reminders are 88% more likely to reach their goals') and softened with '*We'll only send 1 notification per day.' requires_notification_permission. Classic value-framed prompt right before the paywall.
screen 4747
Final pre-paywall value summary: 'Become a better person with Ahead' with a 3-bullet plan, Apple Design Award Finalist badge, 5-star / 10K+ reviews, and a visible 'Restore purchases.' Stacks testimonials + ratings one screen before the price. The last credibility push.

The paywall: 'Choose your plan' with five options. Yearly $79.99 ('Most Popular', Save 33%), 3 months $39.99, Yearly Family $99.99, Monthly $9.99, and Lifetime $149.99 one-time. Annual is visually defaulted/highlighted; no countdown timer. 'Cancel anytime in the app store' is the only trial-ish reassurance. Trial appears optional, not forced. Heavy menu of five SKUs is a lot of choice; the anchoring (Lifetime $149.99 top, Family above solo annual) steers toward the $79.99 yearly.
