   I noticed that the Android version tells you the amount of points you received for each checkin which is something i thought it needed.

   You can also download this to an Android tablet, including Kindle Fire. If your tablet doesn’t have a microphone, you can buy a headphone/microphone onlinebo or a microphone. Either has to have a four-conductor plug (three dividers) and they’re available on Amazon for less than $6.

   Can someone just explain in simple terms how Viggle works. I typically DVR all my shows and watch them whenever I have time. Do you have to watch the shows in real time? How does it know if you are actually watching a show. I couldn’t find any good answers when I Googled.

  You have to watch the show within 24 hours of its original airing to get bonus points. I always check in to the shows the morning after they aired. Also, it knows which show you are watching because it can identify the show (down to the specific episode) by listening to a 10+ second clip of the show. So you turn on the show, push a button to “check in”, the Viggle app listens and a button pops up asks you to confirm that it identified it correctly.

  You will have to wait atleast 11 minutes to check-in to the next show to get all of the points for the show.

  It’s 10 minutes… But they are starting o flag accounts that only stay signed in for 10 minutes on each show. Or the last 10 minutes of a show. So happy boggling the app is going downhill

  Really? That’s what I thought they were encouraging since there are so few ways to earn points now.

   I loved viggle. Was getting some good points and receiving some nice CVS gift cards, however viggle banned me twice over the weekend for “suspicious behavior.” I checked into my shows, watched the ads on the app and got banned. Over a 3 day period did not even onlinee close to the allowed amount of points earned (i earned 7000 over 3 days, when according to their rules I can make 6000 a day!) Then they proceed to tell me that if you get banned 3 times they deactivate your account. Oh and the 2nd time I was banned by viggle? I was in bed sleeping in the middle of the night, not using the program but had suspicious activity somehow! They have been changing their app, their rules, banning people for no apparent reason (or at least not that they are telling, and I know of quite a few people that they have banned) and lowering their points. Now I have no issue with the points being lowered, as hey, I’m still earning on a free app toward a free gift card, however it is upsetting that customer service will not work with you, tell you what you are supposedly doing wrong. The customer service personal that I have dealt this week from Viggle have been very rude to me, when all I wanted to know was what I did to get banned so I could prevent it again and then they banned me again. Its like they are offended that you could even question what might have happened. Also, many people have not been getting their points awarded lately and Viggle has told them they will not award them, even though it was a glitch on their end. At thispoint I would suggest being cautious with Viggle. I will try them again soon, bit am stopping for awhile.

  I didn’t even know that I had been “banned” until I tried to redeem a Starbucks gc and received an error message. I went on to the Facebook page to see if anyone else was getting the 2045 error, which is when I saw others onlineplaining about the same message. I generally stay logged in for at least 20 minutes of a half hour program since we DVR everything so we fast forward through onlinemercials, although if a program is quite violent or has a lot of swearing I may end it early.

  Anyway, how did you get cs to respond? I have emailed twice but haven’t gotten a response.

  It took 2 days for them to respond to my first email. I also did not know I was banned until I went to redeem a gc. I have noticed on the app store reviews this week that several people have been banned this weekend. Its like they are trying to get rid of some users now that they have launched the android beta or something. I don’t know and “Jason” at customer service was rude and not helpful.

  I was banned also, not sure what I did and didn’t know until I tried to redeem points. So upsetting that they don’t even tell you when it happens.

  So true. I dread seeing it posted. There used to be lots of ads with high values and trivia, now it’s pretty much a point-a-minute viewing, plus bonus points for some shows. Takes forever to earn meaningful points now.

  Just go to Menu/Settings/applications…then make sure the ‘unknown sources’ is checked. Then you can go to the viggle website and click on the link and it will download to your phone.

    It is harder to earn points now than it was even two weeks ago. It requires much more effort now, you should realize that if you earn the max pts in a day ( which is very very hard now), you earn about $3.

    Rewards go out of stock regularly and have onlinee back at higher cost ( best buy was 37k, now 50k)

    Just don’t plan on making a killing

  Agree. Last time I finally earned 37.5K for Best Buy, it was out of stock. Now it requires 50K. I was trying to get the CVS GC instead but it’s gone today, bummer. I end up went for the 50K Best Buy GC.

    Viggle is kind of frustrating, seems like their rewards are getting worse instead of better, but you just have to remind yourself you are getting a free gift card for watching tv

    There is another FREE app similar to Viggle Called ” app trailers ” you watch trailers and get points, redeem for gift cards etc. it has been around for awhile and is affiliated with ” appredeem ” so ………..
    1.download the app trailers first , from itunes its FREE
    2. if you use my username as a referral YOU get bonus points and I get bonus points ( mile26point2 )
    3.then go find appredeem and download their FREE app. These 2 apps are connected so you get points from both of them under one account. You will see your points from the app trailers when you open appredeem.

    Can anyone answer a few questions: I used Viggle for the first time today and I am still a bit confused. I started to watch Private Practice and it recognized it. After a bit, my phone went to sleep. When I went to watch another show, my phone still was showing a picture of Private Practice. 1) How does it know I watched the entire show? 2) How do I tell it I am done watching and go to the screen where I can tap again for it to recognize a new show? Also, I got 44 points for Private Practice plus a 150 “check-in bonus”, how are the points determined?
    Also, if there is a good FAQ for Viggle online, please point me toward it thanks.

  You get 1 point for each minute of a show you are checked in to. Some shows give you a bonus if you watch within 24 hours of it broadcasting.

  If you click the check in button, you can tap to check in to another show. You may need to click the back button to get to the main screen. If you click on the icon with the show’s name and scroll down it will tell you how long you have been checked into a show.

    Viggle was working pretty decently on my Moto Atrix until the last upgrade. Now the What’s On” feature will not load, the little cog wheels just continues to spin. I emailed Customer Service and they advised me to uninstall, then reinstall & that should solve my problem. Well it didn’t and I emailed to let them know this a week ago and haven’t gotten so much as an automated reply. I think Android users are getting screwed with this app because it has gotten difficult to gain points, yet the points to redeem awards has jumped way up. I wasn’t even aware of users being banned until now. If this crap keeps up this app is going into the trash bin on my phone!

  It’s not just android users. It is the same for iPhone users also . I have been banned 2x the 2nd time while I was asleep and not even using the program. Points are hard to get now and all the rewards have gone up. It’s getting to be ridiculous! I haven’t really used this app much since I got banned. Have enough now for a gift card, may see if I have been banned again!

    I just downloaded Viggle today and am having some trouble. I try to check into shows, it will say ” Listening to your TV” then “Matching” but it just says anythings over and over. I’ve gotten it to work twice, but most of the time it just tried matching and never picks up the show I am watching.
    I don’t have the greatest phone, HTC Wildfire S, could my phone be the problem?
