Do I need a smart-app recumbent bike?

Several picks here include Bluetooth app connectivity (SunnyFit, MERACH, Niceday). Verified-purchase and community reviewers say the apps add workout tracking and classes that help motivation, but they also report occasional connectivity glitches. If you mainly want low-impact cardio in front of the TV, a basic LCD model is enough; the app is a nice-to-have rather than a deciding factor for most buyers we read about.
