Download Worthy: Viggle

You’ve probably checked into a location, but have you ever checked into a TV show? With Viggle, you can do just that. It’s a free app that gives TV-watchers rewards for checking into the shows they’re watching. Viggle automatically identifies (in a way reminiscent of the Shazam app) the television shows its users are tuned into and awards them points once they’ve checked in. Points can be redeemed via the app’s rewards catalogue for tons of different items, including gift cards and movie tickets. Feeling generous? Points can also be converted into donations to charity. Now THAT is cool.

What’s even more fun about the app is that users are encouraged to play along live. Answer trivia, see what others are Tweeting, and vote in polls. If you’re already watching the show, you might as well get points – right?

Have you ever used Viggle? Post a comment below and tell us your favorite feature!

Download Worthy: Goodreads

Finding new books has never been easier!

Get ready to unleash your inner reader! Whether you’re a hardcore literature fan or just a casual reader, you are going to LOVE this app. Users can compare their books with others, make recommendations, form book clubs, and even keep a list of what they’ve read and would like to read in the future. Rather than displaying reviews from random users, Goodreads uses more of a “social-network” approach and displays insight from your friends. They also analyze your books (and ratings!) to help you discover more books based on what people with similar tastes approved. Beyond just reading, you can also feel free to post in discussion groups, reach out to authors, and even submit your own writing. The (literary) possibilities are endless! This app is available on both Apple and Android phones as well as the NOOK!

Download Worthy: Stumbleupon

For anyone who has ever clicked their way through Stumbleupon, I think we can all agree that the idea is pure genius. While using Stumbleupon, I’ve made my way through hundreds of awe-inspiring photographs, read interesting articles that I probably would not have found on my own, and discovered an abundance of other sites that fit my interests. So when Stumbleupon decided to go mobile, I could not have been more excited. This app gives you access to your favorite finds from wherever you might be– your mobile accounts sync with your StumbleUpon web account! It also makes it even easier to share any favorite discoveries with anyone via email, Facebook, or Twitter. Happy Stumbling!
