As mums, anything we can do to encourage our children to start the day with a healthy breakfast is a good thing.
Which is why we’re excited to introduce the new BIX app from Weet-Bix … that’s going to have kids everywhere lining up for a healthy breakfast.
How does the Weet-bix BIX App work?
Bix are like a trade-able currency. You collect Bix every day using your BIX app while you eat your breakfast by scanning the QR code on special Weet-Bix packs and use them to access unique experiences, instant vouchers,prizes and gifts.
To start collecting Bix you need the BIX app.
The Bix app can be downloaded from the App Store to use on your iPhone or go to weetbix.com.au/bix to sign up on your smartphone or computer.
Bix can even be used to gain access to exclusive content like videos of pro tips from teenage superstars – look for the ‘Your Turn’ stuff in the USE section of the app. Plus simply scanning the QR code every day also gives you entries into competitions.
In the Weet-Bix BIX App review, mums selected to be part of the Weet-Bix App review team will receive a 750g pack of Weet-Bix containing the QR codes your kids can start downloading. We’ll be asking mums and their families to download the BIX app, start collecting Bix, getting involved as much as possible and then post their review and ratings on this page. You might even like to get your kids to post a review for you!

We have all loved weetbix . This new app is very interesting . I have it on my computer. What a great interactive way for children to enjoy their breakfast. And the prizes were great also. There was some $20 Roxygift vouchers iI bet mist young girls would live this. And movie vouchers. I'm just going to try and win myself a weetbix dowl.
My son got home on Friday and was so excited about the BIX app and then when we went through the prizes that you can achieve by scanning every day he was over joyed. I'm sure I'll get reminded tomorrow to scan. I have also taken some nice photos that I will upload tomorrow.
The App itself was fast and easy to download. Very easy to use. Very easy to view prizes and it was lots of fun for the whole family remembering to scan the box. The kids aged 4 and 6, are getting more excited every morning as they get closer to claiming there desired prize.
It's been over a week and my kids are still enjoying there weetbix and scanning for bix! :-) it is taking a while to save them and hoping that there are still some good prizes available by the time we get them! Will they add more do you think??!! Oh well keeping my kids happy anyways!
WOW! What a great way to encourage your children to eat a healthy breakfast! The app was easy to download and very user friendly even for the young ones. My children get up and the first thing they want to do is scan their weet bix- after they have finished of course! The prizes are great will be interesting to see what is available when we have accumulated enough bix! I will be telling my friends about this one! Thanks!
My daughter is enjoying scanning the barcode everyday we are getting closer to a prize so everyday she reminds me after eating her weet bix she is like mum can we scan it and loves that she will be getting a movie ticket soon so we will be able to go in the school holidays thanks MOM for the opportunity
We would love to be able to scan all weetbix consumed but for now we will scan once per day and the little ones love to scan,we love the app as this gets all breakfast consumed to be first to scan, thanks for the great start to our day.
This is a great app to download and very easy to use. My kids have loved the prizes and get very exited each morning to scan the weet bix box. I would recommend this to kids over the age of 10 because they are likely to value the prizes . Over all it is a great app.
This App was amazingly easy to download. My son was so excited when we had a box of Weet-Bix turn up on our door and we investigated how to use the App. So many exciting things to look forward to. The scanner is so easy to use for kids and adults alike. Basically just by scanning every day whilst enjoying our favourite breakfast cereal we get to become eligible for rewards and great prizes! I'll keep everyone posted on any prizes we may win! Fingers crossed.
When I seen this advertised on the larger weetbix box I thought why not get the bigger box for the try out of the app etc for my boy. Well it was a let down. The app isn't that great and like usual the prizes aren't glamerous. My son does not really use or interact with the app anymore. It was easy enough to download but not being used so have deleted it since. Maybe for others it might be great but not in this family. Will still be eating weetbix though!
My kids eat week bix every morning for breakfast, and have done for years. When this promotion first become available i was really excited. However from the very beginning the app too ages to down load, some days the credits would work and other days the would not. It took ages for points to add up and then when I finally had enough to redeem a gift the app would not work and I lost my points.
We'll they got rid of that suddenly!it was great to start out with and we received an awesome huge breakfast bowl but after that it was hard to get anything good.i also had to delete the app a couple of times.if they brought it back though I'd probably use it again
Well, I'll be a little wary of future Weetbix promotions. This app turned out to be problematic in the long run - it kept hanging, so I had to delete it and download it again at least once or twice most weeks. And it didn't always register a scan, but then would refuse to accept a second try... More importantly, they seemed to forget half way through that it was about kids. Prizes were often put up during school hours or late at night, so not accessible to my kids at least; and then the promotion ended fairly abruptly, with very few prizes available in the last couple of months, leaving us with hundreds of unredeemable points. My kids were disappointed, and this wasn't at all what we thought we were promised when the promotion started. I won't want to get my kids too excited about future Weetbix promotions in case they're disappointed again.
I downloaded the app for my son who eats weetbix most days, but we struggle to get enough 'bix' to earn any prizes so it is disappointing for him. Not worth the time or effort...
My son loved the app like so many others. It would be great if they did this again as their consumers got a lot of fun and prizes from it. A great motivation for kids to have a healthy breakfast.
i like the app but it sometimes wouldnt load so had to change devices to get my points also there was hardly any good products for reasonable points ive manage only two pairs of swimming goggles and somesnooze icypoles but hey it was all free so really cant complain to much hoping to get enough points for a duffle bag and hope there available before it ends
Great promotion for the kids had my son eating 8 weetbix a morning!
Weetbix are a healthy, oldie and with the new sugary cereals available i felt that having this extra incentive makes it better for kids to engage with the product range and we got a few extras too!
We downloaded this after seeing it on MOM but have to admit its been forgotten in the breakfast rush, it would be good if you were committed to doing it all the time and had older children. And i have so many apps on my phone did I really need another one. Life is so hectic and everyone wants their bit of you.
Scanning barcode idea is great as I have one who loves weetbix, the other not as much but things are changing. He is having 2 now so fun app in all & kids love it :)
every time we checked there never seemed to be prizes available. they had some great prizes but we never were able to redeem them. Then i upgraded my phone and when i reinstalled the app on my new phone all the points were gone. a bit disheartened but should've thought of that beforehand i guess. great idea though and i will think ahead next time.
I did not apply to review the Weet Bix App, but I did download it two or three weeks ago. its a great app with some fantastic rewards and it does encourage my kids to eat Weet Bix in the morning so they can scan the bar code. They scan it every morning. Its a great app to have
Pig downloaded this all after reading all the reviews from here. Such a really great and fantastic idea. My daughter loves her weetbix. And even though she is three I get her to scan the codes. She's finds it really fun and enjoyable. With a little help from me she knows how to use it while I watch her.
I must say. This is a genius idea as its something you can get your kids involved in daily and get them to eat weetbix since they are already pulling it out to scan the barcode. My 5 year old loved trying this app and ive lost track of how many times he has done this.
The app was easy to download to my Iphone, but really thats where it stopped. Only one of my kids like weatbix and she does not eat it every day. I thought the app might encourage them to eat more but they were not really interest and on the morning my daughter did eat them we usually forgot about the app.
I found it silly that a breakfast cereal became an app. My kids aren't into phones, ipods etc with apps so it was on no use to us. They love weetbix but it just wasn't something they connected with. I ended up deleting the app off my phone once I realised they didn't care.
I currently have the weetbix app on my phone its great. You can even receive prizes with no points at all. There were just some tickets to see jessica mauboy for no points. This makes it a fun and exciting app to have and a great one for all the kids.
I have had this app on my phone for months it is brilliant to have i have won some great prizes off it and i use it when ever the kids have weet bix for breakfast or sometimes i even have weet bix as a snack or breakfast this app was easy to download and so easy to use great idea weet bix have come up with

“My Floor Has Never Been So Clean”: The Mop That’s Winning Over Mums
Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.
With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.
“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.
She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.
Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.
“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.
So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.
“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.
But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.
The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.
“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”
She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.
“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”
It’s The Little Things That Add Up
For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.
“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.
But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.
“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.
Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.
“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”
But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.
And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.
With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.
That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.
But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.
And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”
The Only Mop You’ll Need
Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.
“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”
After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.
“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”
For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.
“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”
Her final verdict?
“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”
This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee.
This mop so good and the views all are positive so I just purchased one on milkrun through Woolworths and it come with 2 mop head refills. Can’t wait to use it.
Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.
Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!
Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.
This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.
