Allow to stream Premium videos on Roku

[Bradcore]

I would like to be able to use the features of my Fitbit app, specifically the videos in the Discover section on my Fire Stick. There is so much functionality that I don't use simply because I cannot use it on my TV.

I'm just noticing this cut off my subject line. It should say, "Allow to stream premium videos on Roku and Firestick."

[Bradcore]

Cancelled my Premium. Allow me to use the premium service on my Firestick and I'll likely sign back up.

The videos are worthless unless I can cast to my Roku from my android.  I'll be canceling premium aftervthectrial unless FitBit can create a casting solution.

Agree -- who wants to look at a tiny screen while working out? This should be an option to watch on Roku

I agree with the previous users on this thread and similar ones I've seen.  The workouts are virtually worthless if they can only be used on the phone.  A tiny screen is very difficult to follow any real activity, let alone see if you are getting your form right.  (and if Fitbit folks are seriously trying to coach us I suspect they'll agree form is important for many reasons)

I signed up for a year of Premium when my trial ended assuming this functionality was there and I just hadn't figured it out yet since I've lost some of my tech-savvy over the years.  Now that I realize it's not and that Fitbit doesn't sound to keen on rectifying it as of yet, this may affect my next not only subscription decision but device purchase.

This lack of functionality that many other modern apps would provide makes it feel like they're just there to be an advertising gimmick to get people to first sign up for premium.  Thank goodness many folks are out there putting stuff out on YouTube, I just assumed Fitbit's videos would be better since you're attempting to attach a value to them.

Agree with all of the above. It’s ridiculous this hasn’t been resolved yet, and that I even have to say that trying to work out in sync with my PHONE screen isn’t acceptable when I’m paying for a service. At least make the casting reliable, instead of failing after 2 seconds, if that’s all we’re going to get.
