Adding and Removing Services from Your Viigo Home Screen

The first time you run Viigo every available service is listed on your home screen. We encourage you to go into each service, add content and evaluate the usefulness of the information to you. If you decide some services better meet your needs than others, no problem, you can easily remove the services you do you currently need.
To remove a service, highlight it on your home screen, click Menu>Remove Service, then click Yes.
If you change your mind later, you can add the service back. Go to the Viigo home screen, click Menu>Add Service, then simply click the service you want to add.
