Samsung TV / sports / FITPRO
REVIEW
FitPro on Tizen is a phone-tracker companion that wandered onto the TV.
A Samsung TV port of the cheap-wristband companion app FitPro, listed under the developer name Radiance. The phone version pairs no-name Bluetooth fitness bands. The TV version has no obvious reason to exist on a 65-inch panel.

FitPro is, in its native form, a phone app — one of the dozens of generic Bluetooth companion apps that pair to no-name fitness wristbands and watches sold cheaply online. On iPhone and Android, it has a purpose: it reads step counts, heart rate, and sleep data off a wearer’s wrist and makes the band useful. On a Samsung Tizen TV, listed in April 2026 under the developer name Radiance, that purpose evaporates.
There is no obvious reason for this app to exist on a television. A fitness tracker’s most valuable surface is the screen closest to the body that wears it. A TV is too far from the wrist to receive a BLE stream during exercise, too immobile to follow the wearer to the gym, and too large to display the kind of glanceable metrics the band already shows on its own 1.2-inch face. Whatever the developer is solving for, it is not a problem most viewers have.
That leaves the comparison with the category Tizen actually has. Samsung Health on TV plays follow-along workouts from real instructors. Fitness+, when it eventually lands on Samsung sets, will do the same with Apple’s catalogue. Jillian Michaels, Echelon, FitOn, and obé all bring instructor-led video content the TV is uniquely good at displaying. FitPro brings a number readout. On a TV, in 2026, that is the wrong product for the screen.
A fitness-band companion app belongs on the wrist's nearest screen. FitPro on a Samsung TV is a category error in app form.
FEATURES
FitPro is a Bluetooth companion app for low-cost no-name fitness wristbands and watches — the white-label hardware sold under dozens of brand names on Amazon and AliExpress. The phone version (iOS and Android) pairs the band over BLE, syncs step counts, sleep stages, heart rate, and blood-pressure estimates, and pushes phone notifications to the wrist.
The Tizen build, listed on the Samsung TV store under the developer name Radiance, is a TV-shaped surface over the same dataset. There is no pairing flow on the TV itself — the band still pairs through the phone — so the Tizen app reads previously-synced metrics and displays them on the panel. No live workout playback, no instructor-led classes, no follow-along video. This is not Fitness+, Echelon, FitOn, or Jillian Michaels' TV app. It is a dashboard.
Free, no in-app purchases listed, released April 2026. No rating data on Tizen because Samsung's TV store doesn't surface user scores. Category: Sports.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The clearest thing the app does is exist, which on a platform as sparse as Tizen's sports category is worth a sentence. Samsung TV owners who happen to own a FitPro-compatible band can glance at weekly step totals on a large screen without picking up their phone.
That's the entire pitch. It is not nothing — TV-as-ambient-dashboard is a real category, and a 65-inch step-count readout is at least legible from the couch.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
The structural problem is that a fitness-tracker companion belongs on the screen closest to the tracker. That's the phone. A TV cannot receive a band's BLE stream during a workout (the wearer is moving, the TV isn't), cannot prompt the user to charge the band, and cannot deliver the notification-mirroring feature that's most of why people pair these bands in the first place. FitPro on Tizen inherits a feature set that was designed for a phone in a pocket and renders it on a TV across the room.
The companion category on Samsung TV is also crowded by apps that solve the actual problem — Samsung Health on TV, Fitness+, Jillian Michaels, Echelon, FitOn, obé — all of which deliver instructor-led video content the TV is uniquely suited to play. FitPro doesn't. It shows numbers.
CONCLUSION
Skip this on Tizen. The phone version of FitPro is a reasonable tool for the audience that owns a $20 Bluetooth wristband and wants to see what it's measuring. The TV port adds nothing the phone doesn't do better, and competes with a category of TV fitness apps that play actual workouts. Install Samsung Health, Fitness+, or FitOn instead and leave FitPro on the phone where it belongs.
