Where did the video go?

When I first bought the LateralX, I was so excited to see this app to help keep me from getting bored using my machine. That lasted about a week and a half and then the video portion crashed 😬 Now I feel like I’m just on another boring cardio machine

After 5 minutes of waiting for the video to load I gave up.

It take a lot to get in the mood to workout for some. So if you have to wait forever for a video to load that pretty much will discourage the beginners and turn them off to using the equipment. I did like how the app immediately connected to the boflex machine. The pairing with the app was seamless. Now if you could only get the video to work. I even tried to load the video after I finished working out 30 minutes later and still no video. Thank goodness for the music in the app. Otherwise because I’d probably delete it and drop the star to a one.

Videos won’t play

Love the LX3 and everything on the app works great except the videos won’t play over wifi on ios.

Hey awolfe1, we're sorry to hear about any video playback trouble and otherwise glad to hear the rest of the app has been working great for you. We have tweaked some things to allow videos to scale a bit better depending on your current connection, but if you're still having trouble on WiFi, here's what I'd do. Start off by seeing if the issue occurs on a different wireless network and/or when using cellular data. If the issue only occurs on your own WiFi network, you may have to address things there in that regard on your own. However, if the issue persists on cellular or other WiFi networks. launch the LateralX app, navigate to the settings, and then use the "Send us an email" option. The "Send us an email" option sends information directly to our App Support team and they'll get back to you directly within 1 or 2 business days. When you email, I'd recommend laying out the situation and see what can be done. For example, I'd say something like LateralX workout videos work perfectly fine on cellular data, but will not play on various, different, wireless network connections. Thanks for being a customer and happy holidays! - Clayton, Bowflex Team

App SLOW

App is very slow using WIFI. It loads very slow. At least give an option to download the videos. Since they are recorded and NOT live videos. This way users do not need to wait long to load the videos. Majority of people do not have time to workout. Imagine, if I have to workout and still have to wait for the video to load because Bowflex’s server is very slow to stream the videos. Until you fix this. I do not think I will invest money for this equipment. $3,000+ for the LX5. Bowflex, please test your app on different devices model and firmwares.

Hey JACo_OLz™, we're sorry to hear about any trouble. We did have several people mention similar issues when the app was first released so we did investigate the problem. We learned that affected customers were experiencing issues due to low bandwidth which is causing buffering. The problem could be coming from your device, carrier or both. You can still likely play video from other sources, though, because those videos are dynamically changed based on bandwidth. We have made an adjustment to the videos on our servers which we hope will help. Essentially, we've allowed videos to scale down more if needed. However, we are not experiencing any sort of load/strain on our servers, it's not something coming from our end, and we are not able to reproduce this outside of connections with limited bandwidth or packet loss. I hope the changes we've made help, but should you continue to have any trouble, please email our App Support team directly from within the LateralX app. Navigate to the settings and use the "Send us an email" option. We'd be happy to look in to this for you further, directly, and specifically to you. - Clayton, Bowflex Team
