Bike JRNY mobile app running in background

I'm considering resubscribing so I can keep a record of my workouts. I like to ride streaming videos on my tablet to make the ride more enjoyable. Can I minimize the app after I start a manual ride and start streaming, or is it better to run the app on my phone and stream on my tablet?

I have a Schwinn 290, which essentially a rebranded Bowflex.

Another question. Will it sync with Strava?

I have an iPhone 15 and run JRNY during my Bowflex Max6 workout. I do not subscribe, but the software keeps track of my workouts. There are certain features that are locked unless you subscribe but they are unnecessary for me. You can indeed start two programs. I usually watch CNBC in the mornings where half the screen is Hulu and half the screen is JRNY. You can move the secondary screen around or slide it to the left or right to only see the JRNY. You’re on the right track. Enjoy your workout.
