big screen Three taps, no extra hardware.

Following a routine off a phone propped on the floor is a compromise everybody quietly accepts. You don’t have to.

If your TV isn’t listed

It doesn’t mirror

Not every set does. A Chromecast is the most reliable fix and the cheapest — it plugs into an HDMI port and both platforms find it.

Known to work: Apple TV, and most Samsung, LG, Sony and Vizio sets from around 2019 that list AirPlay 2. On Android, anything with Chromecast built in.

What to expect

A short delay

There is a small lag between the board and the screen. It doesn’t affect your score — the sensor talks to your phone directly, not through the TV.

The sound comes through the TV as well — you don’t need to keep the phone within earshot.

We’d keep the phone propped at waist height for the four scored modes, where the delay is most noticeable, and use the TV for the longer trainer-led routines.
