Fireplace with AirPlay App Reviews

39 add

Well it works...

It does work but I have an audio/video output adapter to hook my iphone4 up to my tv but it doesnt play the video.. If somehow this was fixed I would def give it 5stars.. Was only a dollar but still hate when you buy something and it doesnt work how you want it to and cant get a refund

great for the kitsch value but needs improvements

fireplace is not very attractive and does look a touch fake but then again -- it is an app of a fake fireplace. (also like recommendations for alternative fire settings) when it does loop the time bar re-appears - which highlights the simulated factor (also agree w/ other reviewers that longer loop is better) i like the crackling sounds but would prefer to be able to simultaneously airplay my itunes/pandora - or whatever to the fireplace as a screensaver/wallpaper

Ok App

I bought this one because it had airplay and all I want is to have a good HD fireplace playing on my 50" screen with the sound surround. The quality is great, the sound is good. Only problem is the obvious looping causing the play progress bar to re-appear on the screen each time the video loops (thats on the Apple TV). I hope they can have a fix for that. Its the only reason I gave it a 4-stars.

The loop needs to be longer

AppleTv shows the progress bar ever 30 sec, which is annoying... Pandora support would be neat too...

Very cool but needs a update!

1. They did NOT fix the loop problem. The loop/play bar still shows up on my Apple TV. 2. It will only use AirPlay as long as your iPhone is on. If it goes to sleep it stops. *Also* this app MUST have multitasking. If I try & use another app or get a phone call AirPlay stops. Fix these 2 things and my rating will be 5

Loop bar still shows up

I have the most current version of ios5.0.1 on my phone and most current version of Apple TV software. However, the loop bar still shows up making the entire effect less authentic and very distracting. I would not buy this until the issue is confirmed resolved.

Nice app, but improvements can be made.

Its nice on the iPhone or iPad, but when displaying through apple tv the app will freeze or stop all together. Also, it runs on a 30 second loop so every 30 seconds you see the display bar when playing through apple tv. Its nice, but I chose this app b/c of the ability to play on apple tv, but it seems the functionality is currently very poor. If fixed app would be great.

Not worth it--yet.

Good video, good quality sound, but the bar pops up on Apple TV every time it loops, which makes the whole thing useless. Multitasking would be great too, but you either need to get rid of the bar (which may not be possible since it on Apples end), or lengthen the video considerably so the bar pops up much less often.

Simple and soothing great for a winter evening

I really like the air play. Exactly as advertised. Thanks.

Poorly executed

I doubt anyone wants to see the 30 secs loop bar every half minute when trying to enjoy a crackling fire in HD. Should have been sorted from the beginning.

Good as advertised

Very soothing crackling fire sounds, adjustable volume with realistic looking burning flames in a fireplace - just what I wanted.

Horrible

Even my 9 year old nephew thinks this is lousy. Like another reviewer states, it does not loop on AppleTV, so it only plays for 30 seconds.

BEWARE! Latest Update (8 May 2012) Is CORRUPTED

BEWARE! The latest update (8 May 2012) is CORRUPTED and fireplace does not display correctly on iPad. (A large image portion of the fireplace is badly cropped) WARNING ... DO NOT PURCHASE OR UPDATE THIS APP UNTIL ITS DEVELOPERS (who obviously did not perform a beta test prior to release) FIXES THIS HORRIBLE PROBLEM!

Needs Repair

This app needs repair. It does not fill up the whole screen. This problem occurred after the last update.

Update ruined it

It was nice. Then the update made it look terrible. FIX THIS GUYS!

Not as good anymore

I use to love this app, but after the last update the picture is cropped & you cant access any features. Sad.

Why Doesnt the Fireplace Fit My Screen?

This fireplace has such a nice look to it, with the stones and all. Really cheery. However only two thirds of the view actually fits my screen and there are no controls to adjust it. So in the end the whole thing looks ridiculous and inauthentic and I cant imagine that whoever designed this app thinks this is a good thing. This issue should be fixed already!

The Fix isnt in!

Dont bother with this app. It still doesnt fit the screen.

Still does NOT work correctly

Cannot see the whole fire or fireplace, and there is a large blank white screen on the right side of the fire, a little of a third of the screen. However, if you are looking just for sound, so far it seems nice.
