  • In order to shake you will need to link the app to a facebook or twitter account. You get locked out for 10 hours after each use

    Can you link it to a different account to get around the 10 hours ?

    • Yes. Tested and works.

    • No you can't.
      The server seems to remember your iPhone's unique ID and will only allow you to shake again after 10 hours.

    • +1

      If you're using an Android phone you can just get into the app info and clear data then log into the same account again instead of uninstalling & reinstalling. It should still work. I was doing that after they changed the 10 hours rule a while ago.

    • What you can do most of the time (from experience) is: Take a snap shot of the prize screen and show them that. A lot of the time I've found that they're too busy to bother tapping the 'Redeem' button! If you're plan comes unstuck you just fiddle around for a couple of minutes and by this stage they just give you the Whopper, etc.

    I'm not sure you can call this a deal per se, or that it's even "back" for that matter. This app has been around for a while now, and never went away, unless there's something I'm missing…

    • -4

      changed the title, better?

    • Agree. Also the latest update broke it on most android phones.

  • +10

    Its just an app update. Dont update its less chance of getting something for FREE.

    • +2

      These prizes are better than previously though:

      Free Large Coke®
      Free Whopper® Jnr
      Free Cheeseburger Minis
      Free Large Fries
      Free 5 Pack Chicken Nuggets

      • no purchase required for these right?

        • No purchase required - got the 5 free chicken nuggets tonight

        • +2

          Yes but that's 5 deals out of a possible 19 listed up there. Your chances of getting them aren't that good.

          I liked the 50% off deal the best. But it's gone now.

          2 for 1 deals are no good for me because I don't want 2 burgers.

          The ones where you get something free if you buy a whopper are no good to me either because I don't buy whoppers. Nothing against them, but I prefer the chicken range.

    • .

    • You can't use the old app anymore. If you try it will say the app needs to be updated.

      • really!?

        • When I tried it, it didn't work. Maybe YMMV.

  • +7

    Seems like they cut out the best prizes and making you buy stuff now.
    Best not to update!!

  • +4

    This app is always free, belongs in the forums…

  • +1

    I just want more people to know about the app, if people don't think it's a good idea. I'm happy for mods to move it to the forum.

  • It's just an update. Don't like the new oneed Facebook.
    How do you connect to twitter?
    First pop up it asks me to connect to Facebook. Can't use the app.

  • +3

    too bad, no more 50% discount. Since the app request the prize from the server, i think what prize will be given and the chances of it will depend on the server, update or not will not make the difference beside the new prizes

    • +4

      Not true – I have the old version, and I still got the Free Hash Brown

      • How about the 50% discount? is it still available?
        hmm.. Love that 50% but the new app do not have it anymore

        • I saw a picture for it inside the app. If you wan't I can edit the app for you to get 50% off every time.

        • oops ignore that

      • oops just fixed that

  • +4

    NO MORE HASH BROWN??? WHAT IS THIS

  • "* Only the "Brekky Muffin for $2" coupons will be generated by the App between 5.00am to 10:00am, at the claimant's local time."

    LIES! Just like the old version of the app, I occasionally get breakfast items at night. The old version always gave me frozen cokes for breakfast too.

  • +1

    Just tried my app on 2 phones and 2 tablets.
    Got Free Medium Fries (not a current prize)
    2 For 1 Bacon Deluxe (a current and previous prize)
    Free Medium Frozen Coke twice(not a current prize, unless medium is the same as regular).
    I am running the old version 1.0.2.
    So it appears that the app controls the prize??

    And no, I am not sitting outside a HJ at this time of night juggling 4 devices in my hands. Fake GPS still works but only for 1 go.

    • another guess is that it actually has 2 prize pools, old app connects to old pool while new app connects to newer pool and the same prizes between old and new share the same counter

    • Just tried it with wife's phone (also 1.0.2) got "Free Medium Soft Drink" (also not a current prize)

  • +1

    Sorry my other deal got removed guys. I hope it helps out a lot of you Thomas's

    • +1

      I just visited my local HJ's with my chess club name tag on which ironically has Thomas on it. They said that they were expecting me and gave me a free whopper. Cheers Cardz (aka Thomas)

  • ..

  • There isn't a 50% off anymore? :/

    • As per my earlier comment, it seems that the app controls the prize. If you have an older version then you should still get the older prizes.

  • +1

    yeh i had the 50% off when you spend up to $30 several times.

  • +6

    Damn my modified Hungry jacks app that gave me %50 off every time is now useless. Went to get my %50 off as routine and they told me they don't offer it anymore since the app update.
    if anyone wants it ill upload the apk sumwhere, though it's kinda useless now

    • I would like this

  • +2

    Is the app still around where you could select from a list of what you wanted and it generated the coupon?

  • 25Mbs… I wonder if they still disallow the app to be stored on the SDcard since my old phone's internal storage is full…

  • +3

    Free diabetes.

  • +2

    Use fake gps app to shake from home

    • +2

      Why? So your mum has to make you a Whopper?

  • +3

    This is crap.

    They've added a bunch of prizes that are contingent on you buying something else. The old app had fewer prizes but they were better. You can still get some of the old prizes, but because there's a bunch more crappier prizes your chances of getting them are lower now.

    I used to very frequently get the free frozen coke or free regular fries, which is fine with me. But now I'm going to get things that I'll only get free if I buy something I don't want to buy.

    Hopefully they fix the bugs with the old app, where it's been more than 10 hours since the last prize was claimed and it still tells you a prize is active and you can't shake again for another 10 hours.

    • My app screwed up last night near swanston st store. It was my first time using it ever, and it was saying i had already got the prize.

      Turned it off and back on again, and it worked!!

  • -2

    They started this app to get people in the door, now they are slowly taking away the prize quality and occurance. Get stuffed HJ's. You have lost us now! Mc Doubles and the maccas $2 menu is way better if you want cheap food!

    • +1

      Bring some of your old phones with you, if you get a bad prize, try again on a different phone. Also if you have friends/family with you, get them all to have a try on their phones.

      I work next to a HJ, so during my lunch break, I'll shake. If it's a good prize, I go to HJ. If it's not something I want, I go somewhere else.

      The chances of getting something I want now are lower though.

    • +1

      Do you even Bargain? Even without this app, stunner meals and $2 nuggets are killer value.

  • this app has gone from bad to even worse.

  • Is it wrong to take screenshots of prizes for later re-use?

    • +1

      You can do it but sometimes they can push done to see if its real. I don't push done when I serve people but most people do.

    • +3

      the places i went always press the done button so they will know if it is a picture

    • Also, the store name flashes, this is a dead giveaway.

    • No, I've done it before!!!

  • Last time I went to claim my free prize, they said I had to purchase something to get the prize. This was 2 weeks ago at the George Street one.

    • the one at wynard too. free frozen coke but the guy said you need to buy something. and this is with old app.

    • +2

      It would be good if we could "Buy" the store then fire those staff that make up their own T&Cs on the fly! ;-)

  • updated it and less chance for winning freebies so just delete it and connect to your laptop which you backup your iphone and you can have the previous version back. It works.

  • +3

    Could someone please upload the previous version's APK – I installed joshm998's hacked version, but it does nothing different. Greatly appreciated!

  • this update is terrible! after updating, the app does not allow me to check-in and keep GPS searching for location. would be appreciated if someone can share the previous apk version :( i want the old version back!

  • ok

  • Anyone know how to completely wipe the app and reinstall to bypass the 10 hour limit? Thanks

    • Sign in to a different Facebook account

      • It still detects it.. it is not detecting based on facebook account

  • Is the old app still working for anyone? Everytime I check in I get a "Checked in" message but not "shake to Win" popup. Works fine with the new version on my ipad
