So I’m not sure if it’s been said already but my 2015 Shield is working great with Zwift but I use the game controller to operate Zwift, works great you have a pointer to select stuff and also I bought a cheap ANT+ dongle and that pulls everything in perfect. Wahoo turbo, Garmin heart rate and cadence sensor. Might help someone. ---

They have the app on mobile phones, ipad, macbook and apple tv which have lower performance capabilities than the nvidia shield. Its almost 2022 something needs to be sorted out. ---

I’m starting to wonder if anyone on the Zwift development team is even bothering to check the forums ? The NVIDIA Shield TV would be an awesome 4K device for Zwift, yes we can ‘hack’ Zwift onto the device, but the last time I did that, it looked like 720p to me. ---

They do check the forums but only reply common topics, I don’t understand why they aren’t officially releasing the app to the nvidia shield. ---

Just a little motivation for zwift devs to get started: The Nvidia shield 4k pro supports WAY more BT and BLE devices, as well as ant+ AND it has the option to use any bt gamepad for in game stuff like rideon, erg difficulty and navigation in menues. It is also has AI upscaling, and zwift allready runs on it, the ONLY thing you have to do is make it available over the play store. That’s the bare minimum! PLEASE. It would love to not be reliant on a gaming computer and bad BT connections or even worse companion app connections, the computer is often occupied with rendering videos when i’m not gaming, and i have to pause rendering to zwift… I think my boss is going to notice at some point… 😛 ---

When you get to the welcome screen there are 3 splash screens you have to go through. You can plug in a usb mouse and right-click and drag to the next splash screen or you can press down on the right d-pad and move it left on your game controller ---

Another request for this. Just bought a Zwift Hub and would be great to connect it to my NVIDIA Shield. Its just an Android device and definitely has the power to run a Zwift app in a great experience. Just need Zwift Devs to create it and publish to the Google Play store Thanks [Previous page](https://forums.zwift.com/t/official-nvidia-shield-tv-support/500069.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.zwift.com/t/official-nvidia-shield-tv-support/500069.md?page=3)
