I had no intention of using the Echelon app simply because 99% of it's functionality is tailored toward having a subscription. As soon as I saw the freestyle window as a full screen ad with a tiny stats bar at the bottom, I knew that app was coming off. There's supposed to be a way to re-load the Echelon app if you want to keep using it but I haven't figured that out yet.
I paid for the qdomyos-zwift app off the Amazon appstore and installed that on the tablet instead. It has a relatively basic interface but displays all the important info I need (cadence, speed, resistance level, etc.). It's also able to interact with the Peleton app if desired, which I hear good things about. For now, I have Plex & YouTube Vanced loaded on the tablet and run that with the qdomyos-zwift app in the background or in split screen.
EDIT: I was finally able to re-load the Echelon app after following step 5 on post 532 [xda-developers.com]. Installing the app this way allows you to do everything the stock Echelon app would (including update the bike itself) but will not firmware update the tablet and lock it back down in the process.

it shows you how to hack the echelon tablet to install the apps you like, and also to split the screen to display qdomyos-zwift and peleton app together, so you can enjoy the peleton app with a more reasonable monthly fee

The app description states "Simply connect your smartphone to the treadmill/bike and zwift/peloton/fulgaz/rouvy will recognize it!". Not clear how this connection works and it's hard to follow on the developer's website as a lot looks to be in Italian.

I always wanted to try Peloton or a similar bike and joined Echelon Facebook group after seeing Echelon bike deals here and posts about how Echelon bikes could be used with a Peloton app on a cheap. I usually never check my notifications from Facebook groups but randomly saw one guy alerting the group to the QVC deal. It was tough sell for me because I own a very good indoor cycling exercise bike/trainer CycleOps Pro 200 that I used for a year with a Peloton app (free through a friend.)
Now I am very happy that I got the Echelon because for me the motivation from these classes beats exercising on the CycleOps when there is no direct feedback between the bike ad the Peloton class. I lost 15 lbs in 6 months in steady pace and it didn't happen with other equipment. With annual membership cost $399 Echelon/QVC "paid me" $115 to take EX1 of their hands (old razor and razor blades model) but I now think that their expensive membership probably worth it and I am willing to pay for it when my 1 year period runs out.
I will be looking for other deals on their equipment with annual membership included, like the rower with 2 year membership for $800 - you are getting a free rower essentially, and the same membership works on all their equipment.
The fact that the EX1 didn't come with a screen was not a big deal to me - I already have many iPads around the house and Fire/Android tablets. Also no need to jump through hoops making the included Sport S tablet to play Youtube etc. like folks are discussing here. BTW, Echelon app works on iOS 12 and Peloton app needs a higher version. The functionality of Peloton is worse on Android app and for Echelon it's the same. Fire 10 from 2019 which can be had for $60 occasionally, works with Echelon app.

I ordered Schwinn Fitness IC4 from target for 450 plus tax.
Which is better value for money between Schwinn Fitness IC4 from Costco for 499.99 and Schwinn Fitness IC4 from target for 450?
Thanks!

Reading the description if you want metrics you have to buy their app or you can connect your phone, but would be nice to be able to use a android tablet for free to track it.
