Your iPad needs more that just the app.

Your iPad needs to be updated to the latest iPadOS 14.3 or later.

You need a compatible Watch ( series 3 or later ) updated to its latest WatchOS 7.3 version before the iOS App Store will offer to let you download/install the  Fitness+ app.

You need to have or purchase an Watch series 3, or later.

No options.


The Fitness+ app will ask to automatically link the Watch to your iPad/ Fitness+ app, after the download.

See the iPad/iPhone instructions here.

Also, make sure all connected Apple devices are using the same Apple ID/password account information.


In addition, there is no TV mirroring of the Fitness+ app, using iPad, currently.

Currently there is no direct AirPlay/screen mirroring from an iPad to any other compatible smart TV or smart device using AirPlay2.

Apple, currently has ONLY made the mirroring/AirPlay 2 feature available to owners/users of an actual Apple TV box.



Best of Luck to You!
