Guest Post: Saving with Viggle & Other Apps
Guest Post by reader Kim:
So back in February you posted about Viggle. I had an iPhone and decided to give it a try. At the beginning Viggle was practically giving away points, which meant a ton of rewards. I chose to get Best Buy gift cards because I wanted to start saving up for an iPad. I purchased my father a new iPad 64 GB with all my Viggle rewards and thought I can do this again with my father’s help to get an iPad for my girls. My dad Viggle’s during the day since he is retired and I do most of mine during the prime time hours. Recently Viggle has created an app for Androids as well so there are more opportunities for individuals to be able to use the app and get great rewards.
Another way that I was able to earn some money is with Best Buys trade in program that you can get gift cards for trading in technology that you don’t use or need any more. So flat screen monitors, video games, cell phones, etc. all earn you gift cards.
It has taken us about 5 months to get enough gift cards from Viggle to accompany the gift cards I had from Best Buy but it was well worth it. I saved over $600 for a new iPad 64 GB for my girls Christmas gift. I have a ton of apps that I use for educational purposes and now they will be able to have them on their own device. I also used my Discover card which will give me some cash back!
So this is how I did it. I waited for the iPad to go on sale to $639.99 (regularly $699.99), then I applied all the gift cards I had. My grand total was $136.46. Totally worth the time on Viggle. Especially since I love to multi-task.
Other apps I have found that are useful for getting rewards are:
Shopkick – walk into specific stores and get Kicks, get Kicks for looking at ads. These kicks transfer to rewards – many kinds of gift cards
Ride – have this program run in the back ground of your iPhone and as you travel you get points for every mile you travel. Again this translates to rewards. There are not a ton of different ones but for someone who does a lot of traveling this is a great app.
Endorse – is an app for those of us who do a lot of shopping. Every time you purchase something you take a picture of your receipt and upload it to the app. Each week they have specific items listed and if you purchase them you get money put into your account. Once you get $20 you can cash out. The other receipts add up with donation points. Than at some point you can donate those. Last week was great because I got 10% cash back for the gas I purchased. Easy way to rack up money quick.
And check out this email from Reader Lory:
Hi Collin,
First I want to thank you for everything you do!! I love Hip2save & tell everyone & anyone all about it. I also wanted to share one of the things I do while I’m sitting around folding laundry, etc. I use an app called Viggle & I’ve been using it now for just about a year & I’ve gotten a FREE $25 BEST BUY GIFT CARD, a $20 CVS GIFT CARD, & at the moment I have almost 100,000 points & not quite sure if I want to keep saving for a big prize, or get some smaller ones!! It’s so easy just to check-into TV programs & receive points & redeem for goodies!!! Plus they do bonus’ all the time… How easy is that! I hope it can help some out there get some freebies?! Again, thank you & happy savings!! 🙂
Have you signed up with Viggle yet? If so, please share your thoughts below!
I love shop kicks! Sign up under is link please! https://get.shopkick.com/paprika1691
am I the only one who hates shopkick. I never get kicks for walkins (even though I do everything right), and lately the app wont even open on my phone. boo
The app keeps freezing on my phone, I usually have to restart my whole phone when I accidently open the app because I can’t manually override it after it freezes!
I hate Shopkick! It never works anymore and the last time I redeemed kicks for a Target card they took the kicks and never gave me the card. I emailed customer service and they wanted so much info I was surprised they didn’t want my blood type, also. Not worth $2!
I sometimes have to turn my phone off and turn it back on when i don’t get my kicks.
I love Viggle! It was a lot faster earning rewards back in the beginning, they’ve made a lot of changes since then, but it’s still worth it. I started out just getting whatever (Papa Johns gift cards) and then decided I wanted to save for my DSLR camera. So I l started getting Best Buy gift cards. Then I decided I’d use them instead to get my son his Playstation 3. Between Viggle & Swagbucks, I paid NOTHING out of pocket for his PS3. I ended up buying Kindle cards from Best Buy with my Viggle earnings, and bought the PS3 bundle on Black Friday from Amazon. Now I’m back to saving for my camera.
I’ve redeemed $190 worth of gift cards from Viggle. Not to mention the 9,500 points my 3 year old wasted.
Hi bnlsmommy04!
Which DSLR are you planning on purchasing? I want to purchase a DSLR for myself, but with so many out there, I’m not sure exactly what features I should look for…
WARNING ! For those saving up like I was, Viggle has CHANGED REWARDS ! Gone are the gift cards, replaced by discount coupons which you could easily find anywhere on the internet. The tablet we were within a month or so of earning has now increased in points by over 30% which would take another 6months or more to earn. I am now stuck with a bunch of points and nothing to do with them. What a disappointment
Gift cards are still there. Prices on them are the same. The rewards are simply laid out differently. They have added coupons and charities.
Gift cards are still there but not Best Buy, CVS, or anything useful! If you shop at Foot Locker then you’ll be happy but they no longer offer Best Buy cards! Sad!
I literally just redeemed a Best Buy gift card this past week (used it Saturday). If they aren’t on there right now, give it a week or so and they will be back. They change it up every now and again. I’ve seen them come and go twice since February (this will make 3 times if they are indeed missing right now).
Part of our money savings plan is to use prepaid cells- super cheap, plenty of minutes and texts, but that means no smart phones for us 🙁 so I am totally bummed that I don’t get to do these offers! But this post is super helpful to those that have it I’m sure! But we save a fortune on prepaid plans (straight talk)!
Hi Krista,
May I suggest Virgin Mobile, you can purchase a Smart Phone and use Beyond Talk plan for $35 a month. Much cheaper than $45 a month.
If you have an ipod touch in the household, you can still use Viggle!
i had virgin mobile. terrible service. was great for the first few months and then service kept dropping, even many times during one phone call. wasn’t reliable anymore. 🙁
I’ve had Virgin Mobile for the last 2 years with no problems whatsoever. My son is still on the $25 plan, because that is what it was when we started, and he has not had an upgraded phone yet, but when he does get one, it’s still only $35/mo. Guess it just depends on where you live.
We do tmobile 30$ plans, but got iPhone 4 used of course for 200 from Craigslist or friends who got a new 4s or 5. And we both love having our own iPhones. Hope that helps.
I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one who uses a prepaid phone. I call it my ‘dumb phone’ because I only use it for calls Ha! It only costs me $8 a month so I can’t complain really. I use the extra money that I save and put it into my mortgage to pay it off early.
I know you posted a long time ago and may already have a new smartphone. If you don’t try Amazon. I kept watching and waiting and sure enough I was able to get an HTC One V prepaid Virgin Mobile smartphone for $50. I bought one for me and one for hubby. The monthly bill is pretty reasonable. $55 for unlimited but they have other plans cheaper. I love the phone although I think I have outgrown it in just 6 short months.
how long does it take to redeem for a best buy card? i dont use the app that much but tend to from time to time and i only have a bit over 6000 points! any hints or tips?
Every night I check to see what the bonus point shows are (under “Whats On”). I check in to whatever has the highest points each hour, then just watch whatever I wanted to watch. I usually try & do the play-alongs, too, even if I know nothing about the show! They have been having a lot of “quests” lately, too. Like check in to 4 shows with leading ladies, get so many bonus points (the quest shows are all marked). And during the day, I usually turn it on FX and check into a movie. When it ends, I check in to the next one. That way you dont have to worry about checking in to something every hour.
So when you check in, do you have to have the show you’re checking in on? And then you switch to anything else?
you don’t have to watch what you checkin to. Checkin to the high value bonus point shows and then watch what you want to.
all you have to do it check in for 10 minutes, then switch to another high value show that night. you just have to check into something long during the day or whenever your awake.
During the day the golf channel tends to run tournaments daily for 4-5 hours at a time. The best is that most sports shows don’t even have to be checked into by your tv, they can be checked into manually, and when checking in manually you start at the beginning of the time it started, no matter when you actually check in. So say a show starts at 12, and runs til 5. If you manually check in to the golf tournament at 4, it will run til 9 o’clock.
All shows can be checked into manually if they are 1 hour or less. Stay checked in for 10 minutes, then go to the next. A great website to help keep track of all shows on and which would be best to be checked into first is viggleboy.wordpress.com I check into my 12 hours allowed each and every day, and I get all of the shows and bonus points each evening. I use all of my points for CVS gift cards, and since my husband and son also do it, I typically never have to spend actual cash at CVS, it’s great. Plus the money spent on gift cards counts to the amount spent on the quarterly extrabucks, so I like to think I am still making some money even when I’m spending my giftcards.
I love shopkicks i use it almost whenever im out running errands!
https://get.shopkick.com/degree9961
we use prepaid tmobile and do viggle and love it!!! I use shopkick every time I go to target, the other stores I dont seem to go to, but I have gotten quite a few target gift cards from shopping and scanning stuff at target.
Viggle is great. We have in on the i-pad and i-phone. We get $5 CVS cards on the phone and $15 Chilis cards on the pad. Shopkick rules!! We just got $40 in Babies r us cards and usually get $5 Target cards all the time.
Also if you look through the rewards you will see a picture of Collin 🙂
Just curious…I haven’t seen the CVS card reward in quite some time. Do you know if they only have a certain number a month or somthing??
It was there for me this morning. I watch for that one on viggle too, and Starbucks! Man do I miss the amazon cards, though!
Usually they put them in about every 2 weeks. They were there yesterday, but not today. They do tend to go pretty quick. I just check every day, and usually get enough points in between them to get 5 CVS gift cards every time they come out with them.
I don’t see a Babiesrus gift card on there 🙁 I could really use that one. Do they vary the selection from day to day?
I just hit a smart phone and I’m looking for money saving apps. Like one that compares prices or one that lets you know if there’s a coupon for that item. Any helpful tips appreciated!
Retail me not is a good one
I love Viggle. I’ve been a Viggler for a while, even back in the day when they were practically giving points away. I agree that they have raised their point redemption amounts and points aren’t so easy to come by, but I still love this app. I redeem approximately $20 in gift cards a month (usually Sephora), and it’s totally worth my time. Shopkick is also great for “walk-ins”, especially when I’m at the mall redeeming my Sephora gcs!
I love Viggle!! I am pretty faithful about checking into bonus shows during prime time when I can. I also play Viggle Live (trivia questions about the show). (sometimes you can even get bonus points for being a DirecTV customer) Depending on how much I pay attention to my phone, I average between 500-1000 points a day. In the last year I have redeemed $250 in best buy gift cards.
Anyone know if you can sign up for Viggle through the Swagbucks special offers? Get SB to sign up? 😉 Or Mypoints even?
How does redeeming your points for the best buy gift card work for viggle? Do they send one to you in the mail?
No, they will email you a link and a code so you can print out a gift card. I just use them on-line to contribute to my best buy pitch in card so I don’t have to worry about keeping track of a bunch of $25 gift cards.
Thanks :]
Does anyone know if any of these rewards programs work with Kindle Fire?
Viggle did when it was in beta, but no longer does because it “listens” to your tv, and a kindle fire does not have a microphone.
what about if you use the mic on headphones?
It’s not compatible if you look in the app store, therefore it will not allow you to download it.
Hmmm….my kindle must have some sort of microphone because I can make phone calls from it. I looked into it and it seems like I should be able to ‘sideload’ viggle onto my kindle. I’ll have to give a try later.
I don’t know which Kindle you have, but the Kindle Fire does not have one. Maybe the HD does, not sure. I don’t have one. But also how do you make the calls? I can use mine with my headset, because the headset has a microphone on it.
I drive a LOT for work, so I have used the Ride app quite a bit lately! It certainly doesn’t add up very quickly, but I’ve done a lot more to save a dollar than just have an app running in the background! : )
How does the Ride app work? Do I have to have a phone with internet capabilities? I have an ipod touch but it only gets wifi, would it still track my miles?
I used it with my iPad for awhile before I put it on my phone. The trick was that I had to connect to wifi in my new location for the miles to accumulate. But, if you’re not super committed to it, should work fine!
Do you only get points for when it shows the +50 points or do you get something no matter what you are watching. Also does it work with shows you did a DVR on? Or does it have to be the time it is on.
You get one point per minute that you are checked in to something. Those +50, etc things are just extras. For an hour long show, you’d get 60 points, plus the bonus if there was one.
Thank you!! 🙂 So if my daughter is watching Dora, we can just check in and get the points for that too? After you check-in do you just leave it up so that it knows you watched the 60 minutes of the show, or how does it know how much you watched?
on my phone, you can exit the app and still get points once the show is over.
You can exit the app. It knows when the show goes off & you’ll get all your points. I like to check in to movies and then once I’m checked in, let my daughter watch Nick or Disney or whatever. It alerts you when it’s over, it’ll say “You’ve earned 108 points (or whatever) for watching so & so. So then I just check into another movie. That way I don’t have to remember to do it every half hour.
I LOOOOOVE Viggle! Ive veen using it for about a year. It was insanely easy to earn points and giftcards back then but its still well worth it now! I also like Shopkick. I dont go out of my way for points but open the app whenever im at Target or Old Navy and have earned around $30 in giftcards. I leanrned about all of these bc of Collin! THANK YOU 🙂
We have an Android tablet, but not any kind of smartphone. Can I use Viggle on the tablet?
yes, as long as your tablet is compatible with the app. Look in the play store and it will tell you
It takes me 1 month of checking into Viggle shows and main trivia events to earn a $5 CVS giftcertificate.Not really worth it in my opinion but I still do it.
I try to find longer movies to check in to during the day so I don’t have to keep coming back, then I check in at night to all the bonus shows. I get my full 12 hours allowede each day, and get at least 1000 points everyday, without even doing the bonus questions for the shows. Every 10 days or so I can get a $5 gift card if I want it.
I check into the Today show daily and every single bonus show at night. Plus I do all of the quests, streaks, etc. I get Sephora cards every 3 weeks.
I love viggle! I don’t check into much during the day only because my 3yr old then thinks she gets to watch shows! But the evening I always find a bonus show and before bed look for a movie to check into. I get the Barnes and noble cards. After about 2 months I have $20…..not to shabby for wAtching tv!
Endorse has been great for me lately as about every other week I have gotten a 50% back on any brand diapers offer!
I love Endorse! It’s awesome! About every other week I get 100% back on coffee (Up to $3.00), 50% back on diapers, any brand (Up to $5.00), and 50% back on 2 liter Mountain Dews (Up to $1.50). I use it all the time! Especially with having a little one in need of diapers and the coffee to keep me up when it’s been a long sleepless night haha! I’m pretty sure it works with Paypal accounts too, if you don’t want to wait for the check to come. My last check was for almost $40.00! I love Endorse and tell everyone I can about it!
I used Endorse for the first time the other day (I had ice cream, chips & coffee that I could earn $$ back on, including the 100% for coffee) and it didn’t recognize that I bought the coffee.
If you click on that one with the coffee where it should’ve counted, there’s a button you can click that says “Disagree?” and you just have to tell them why you think they made a mistake and they’ll give you the money. I’ve had to do it a few times, including just last week with my coffee.
I am excited about the Ride app, I have never heard of it and drive between Tennessee and Delaware often. Thanks! You can check viggleboy.wordpress.com for a schedule on when to check into to shows to get maximum points for Viggle.
For those of you that like swagbucks you may want to try PrizeZombie…I have been using it for a couple of months and like it.
If someone would use my Shopkick referral link I’d be forever grateful. I use the target gift cards to buy my son’s formula.

another good app is called Mobile Expressions. It runs in the background of your smartphone or tablet, and you can get $5 per device, up to $15 per month. I have an android phone, and a tablet on one email address, and my kids 2 kindle fires running on another email address, so I get $20/month for doing absolutely nothing. It does tend to run the battery down faster on my smartphone, but I don’t mind it.
If anyone is in the greater boston area or in Massachusetts, there a new mystery shopping app that pays you in the form of gift cards and paypal when you review places like Starbucks, Dunkins, McDonalds etc. The app is called Mobee. I have been using it a lot the past few weeks and have made about $150 already. It does take about 7 days to receive your reward, but its easy and quick to do. Unfortunately right now its only for iOS users, I use an ipod touch and it works great. If you could use my referal it would be great as well NVWR.
APP: Mobee – Referal Code: NVWR
I tend to dvr some of the shows. Do you get credit from Viggle for watching these recorded shows or does it have to be when the show is actually on the network?
Bonus points are available up to 24 hours after the show airs.
I was just told recently, when I inquired about some bonus points, that you only have til 8am the following day for bonus points. You will still get the points per minute..
It’s 9:30 a.m. Eastern time. I’m in Central so I have til 8:30. I don’t have a dvr, but I do have Comcast so I watch shows On Demand.
Ahh so once again they changed the rules! I just read the FAQs and it says 8am EST. I should probably check them weekly ha!
I love Viggle and have been a user since the very beginning. It is definitely different now, but I am still a loyal user. We did it for Best Buy cards at first, but lately I have been cashing out for Sephora cards to stock up my cosmetics. Next I plan to get Lowes cards to put towards some outdoor furniture. My husband and I saved enough for a GPS in the beginning! We tend to go for Lowes cards in the warm months to take care of our yard/outside areas 🙂
If you like shopkick look into checkpoints too! 🙂
Will Viggle work if I have Hulu ? We got rid of Direct tv to cut costs so everything we watch is always after the original program.
I’m not sure how quickly Hulu puts the shows on? You need to check in before 8:00 a.m. the morning after the show airs. It used to be 24 hours after (and it used, used to be a week.)
I like using my Receipt Hog app. All I have to do is scan my receipts from grocery stores and they give me points. Once you have a certain amount of points you can “cash out”. I’m currently waiting until I have a little over 4000 points and I’ll get $30! So simple. I also use Endorse but wish they’d give me more offers! Between coffee and diapers, I’ve made quite a bit of money though.
wow thanks for everyones imput, awesome info. dawn you how do u earn rewards every month from mobile expression? i registed back then when then had 50 bucks virtual gift card for joining , there was no evident on the site for regular rewards so i have long deleted it …
any one know about the RIDE app do you need internet access constantly for it to work? i traval from NJ to GA for school every semester should be awesome if it works for me…
I too am a proud user of Viggle and Shopkick! I have saved so much on enjoying starbucks as I watch my shows or shop.
great thing about Endorse – if you hook up with Paypal, you don’t need a minimum to cash out ($20 can take a while to reach if you’re a couponer like me, since the rebates are sadly based off post-coupon prices). I just cashed out $3.00 from getting free coffee, and 56 cents from a rebate on frozen pizza!
Ok, I am already impressed with Viggle! One confusing thing is the extra offers, the earn for free from old navy and body shop, do I have to eventually buy the offer for the extra points? Or can I feel safe linking my card to earn a free 700 points? Any help would be appreciated!
Am loving everyone’s suggestions! Just got an Iphone in December and so far, Ibotta, Shopkick, and Viggle, among other apps, have paid for my phone in all the giftcards I’ve earned!
SO can anyone please tell me I have prepaid card on my android & I do have wifi access on it whne I’m home so can I use viggle on it & if yes, how?? thanks ladies
I’m not completely sure what you are asking, but if you are simply asking if you can use Viggle on wifi, then the answer is yes. I think Viggle even recommends it for better ‘reception’ or something….
Did you guys enter your DIRECTV account info? I’m not so sure about doing that part….
yes. click on the top right corner (your picture) and then click on the gear (upper right hand corner) then go to your tv provider
Does Viggle work with a Roku box? I downloaded Viggle and it doesn’t seem to work.
I love Viggle! Just recently cashed out $75 to help pay for my new iPhone 5 and last year cashed out $125 to help pay for a new camera. I check into the Today show every morning and try to hit all the bonus shows each night. It adds up quickly.
I also use Shopkick, which I love! Just cashed out $100 in Best Buy to help pay for a new laptop. In the past I have cashed out quite a few Toys R Us gift cards. I heard that in some parts of the country you get kicks for Target purchases – I sure wish they would add that where I live!!! I would make a fortune – lol! I also use Endorse … love the coffee offers, but it seems like they just keep repeating the same products – many of which I don’t use. I still check it every week and will continue to do so, but it is not as much of a money maker as it used to be — same with Ibotta.
If anyone does not use Shopkick and would like to sign up, I would love it if you would use my referral link. https://get.shopkick.com/cone2915
Is there anything like Ride for Android?
I’ve wondered the same thing. If you look at the Ride app page on the iTunes store, it says it is only for iPhone. Hoping Android comes up with something similar. I’d love to give it a shot 🙂
Yes,Viggle is BETTER w/ wifi,& you earn MORE Bonus points if you have DirectTV (although you don’t have to have it) Always look for the BONUS or highest point value before checking into a show. Not only is it Better to have DirectTV,you can get BONUS POINTS when you sign up for DirectTV (on Viggle) & usually during the month they run many Bonus’ for DirectTV only subscribers!! NICE! Also you can play “My Guy” (a football game) to earn bonus pts & also play” Viggle” during certain shows for extra pts.So check out twitter or fB & you soon will catch on easy & Fast ways to earn points.PS if anyone does want to sigh up for DirectTV,I pretty sure they also still have the promo where if you sign up under someone’s link,they take $ off BOTH of the Statements for a year(yes I just looked it up,$100 in bill credits)….so PLEASE,PLEASE if anyone does want to here is my # 28971254 Thank you so much & I hope what I wrote helps?! Lory 855-567-1673
I am a Viggle fanatic! Have done it from close to day one. Shopkick…not working so much for me…but will keep trying. Just downloaded ride & endorse…looking forward to trying them!
So im thinking of getting one of the new kindle fires and they have microphones built in will this app work on it??
Love Viggle. Have had it for a week and have 9,280 points. The check in bonuses during prime time hours REALLY add up! $25 Best Buy gift card is 62,500 if that gives everyone an idea of how quickly you can redeem!
Another great app is Ibotta (Please use my link when signing up! https://ibotta.com/r/eXLtLQ THANKS!). I haven’t changed my spending patterns at all. I haven’t bought anything that I wouldn’t normally buy and I made $6 back in less than a month. I literally got a Capri Sun big pouch (My son LOVES them. Makes him feel like a big boy) for -$.12! That’s right! I paid $.88 at Walmart for it, turned around and got $1 back on it. You can’t beat that! Now, $6 may not seem like much but as a single mother? I’ll take it! Now just think of how much you could make if you bought a new “featured” brand of a certain product rather than your normal brand. Now you see the great appeal that is Ibotta 🙂
Also have Shopkick. Haven’t gotten any walk-in/scan kicks yet (I downloaded the app yesterday and will be trying it out over the weekend) but have over 40 kicks by just looking through the lookbooks alone. (Please use my link when signing up! https://get.shopkick.com/edge10548 THANKS!)
Another similar app is called Checkpoints (Please use bonus code CsMommy for extra points at sign-up! THANKS!). You get points for scanning barcodes of featured products as well as checking in to local stores. I downloaded it last week and points are adding up!
I downloaded Endorse earlier tonight but have yet to get a chance to try it out. Hoping it will be just as great as the other apps!
If you aren’t interested in apps at all, sign up for Bing Rewards (Please use my link to sign up! https://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9778718&rrid=_789492ae-6bbb-ddd9-886e-b857b446e099 THANKS!) I have made $20 in Amazon gifts cards for simply using Bing as my search engine which I do anyways. You can gain 15 points/day for searching the net. Bing even throws you a few opportunities here and there during the week to gain some extra coins. I’m about 4 days away from making another $5 in Tango cards (which I exchange for Amazon gifts cards but can be exchanged for other cards as well). Bing Rewards literally bought my son’s Valentine’s Day gift 🙂 It is an AWESOME way to earn a bit of extra cash.
If you are up for making a little bit of extra money, whether it be cash or gift cards, I highly suggest you give these apps/websites a shot. Viggle & Bing Rewards seem to be the easiest for me. Points are adding up with very little effort. Can’t wait to turn them in for more gift cards!
Join me on Shopkick!! you will get 50 pts! . use the link down here 🙂

I thought I saw a recent comment for a link to a Viggle website that gave you the up to date shows and specials, but cannot seem to find it. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks!
Viggleboy.wordpress.com
I love Viggle boy, https://www.viggleboy.com/ where I ind daily Viggle checkin schedule to earn maximum Viggle points. Make your TV viewing more rewarding and fun with Viggle Boy…

anyone that has used the cvs gift cards..how does it work? can you use them online or just at the store? how many per transaction?
I need a little help with Viggle. I don’t seem to earn very many points. I will check into a show and leave it on the full hour, but it seems like Viggle stops counting the minutes of the show being on when my cell phone or tablet goes into sleep mode (screen light off and such). Does the app stop giving credit when the power save kicks in? Do I have to keep my phone or tablet’s screen on the whole time to keep collecting credits? My battery would die so fast if i did that. The app should run in the background listening once in awhile to make sure that the tv is still on. Does it? Is there a setting that I’m missing? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks a bunch!
Should run in the background and your phone shouldn’t have to remain on. My iPad never has. I’ve checked in and wound up leaving the house and I still got the points for the entire show. Once you check in, it should count your points for the rest of the show or until you check into something new. It doesn’t listen after you check until unless you tell it you want to check in again. Try reinstalling or contacting Viggle about your problems bc it isn’t supposed to do that. Should givee you 1 point/minute + any bonus points (if any are available for the how you are watching. Check the What’s On tab in the app). Hope this helps!
