Apple Watch not pairing with fitness plus on IPAD

Hi!


Was very excited to be able to workout from home with this app but am quickly realizing its many limitations. First, working out with an iPhone sized screen is great if you are a gerbil or small field mouse but 6’4” bouncing around trying to see a spec on the screen is not what I’d call a revolutionary experience as i would imagine their videos would claim.


My ipad is current and i have the fitness app downloaded. Bluetooth and wireless both on... Workouts will play but my ipad doesn’t find my watch. Might as well be watching YOUTUBE workout videos for free if Apple can’t sort this out. Certainly not worth 10 bucks a month.


Equally important.. people want to be able to see their workouts on their big screen. This sort of thing is great when the whole family can join in. We do not have Apple TV, nor will we ever buy Apple TV. Trying to make people possess both to enjoy workout content on non Apple TV’s is a bad business move IMHO. I’ll dump this app like a bad habit before having to pay if they don’t add that capability.


APPLE-you have BILLIONS in the bank, let us cast to our non apple products or lose millions of potential subscribers who get tired of dancing in front of a 5 inch screen.

I had issue with iPad but not the iPhone. I tried restarting devices as well as log off and log back in. Neither worked.


I fixed the issue by launching the Home app on iPad for the very first time. I never used the app once on the iPad before. Just launch the app and let it fully loaded, then click Continue button on the welcome message. Then I come back to the fitness app and it works. There might be some shared components between home and fitness.
