App Review: Viggle & M-GO

I have been using the Viggle app for a couple of years now. The purpose of the app, is to reward you for watching tv, and you collect points based of the amount of time that you watch a certain program. The app offers a wide range of rewards, from sweepstakes to deals to gift cards. When I started using the app, I really liked the variety of gift card choices they offered. I would redeem my points for Starbucks, Groupon, and Sephora gift cards. But as time passed, the gift card choices where poor and scarce.  

I then noticed that Viggle started offering movies, tv shows and music as rewards. So this past weekend, I was wanting to watch a new movie, and decided to trade in my points for The Maze Runner. When you use your points, the media content is connected with the M-GO app. Over all I was quite pleased with my experience of the transition. 

I was going to stream the movie from my computer, a Mac. I didn't want to download another program to my computer so I decided to download the app to my Android. It was pretty easy and the buffering was pretty spot on. Now you may be thinking, how painful it is to watch a move on your cell phone. I was able to stream the app with my Google Chromecast device and it was so seamless. 

I had purchased my Chromecast around the Thanksgiving holiday on a whim. I had seen it on the side of a shelf all lonely and misplaced. It was on sale for $25 dollars and I decided to try it out. I can say, this is one of the top purchase of 2014, hands down. This device allows you to stream almost anything to your tv. 

In conclusion, all items mentioned above are absolutely amazing. I am still so shocked and surprised how easy it is to purchase a movie and have it available within seconds to view. I do wish that the movie could have been linked with other services, such as Amazon or VUDU. That way I can keep up with less programs, user names and passwords. I was born in 1988, and I remember the struggles of life before the Internet and high tech technology. Every day the world of technology just amazes me and I can only wonder with life for my children will be like.
