Casting guide ◆ iPhone & Android
Put it on the
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.
The order
Casting is the last step
Get the board talking to the app first. Which screen is a choice you can make later.
Haven’t got the app yet? It’s free on the App Store and Google Play.
iPhone & iPad
Apple calls it Screen Mirroring.
- Put your phone and your TV on the same Wi-Fi.
- Swipe down from the top-right corner for Control Centre.
- Tap Screen Mirroring.
- Pick your TV. If it asks for a four-digit code, it’s on the TV screen.
- Open the GoBalance app once it connects.
Android
Cast — Smart View on Samsung, Screen Cast on some others.
- Put your phone and your TV on the same Wi-Fi.
- Swipe down twice from the top for Quick Settings.
- Tap Cast. Samsung calls it Smart View. Some makers call it Screen Cast.
- Pick your TV.
- Open the GoBalance app once it connects.
If your TV isn’t listed
It may not work
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.
