It just works
I don’t ever leave reviews for apps, but I really feel compelled to write one this time. Over the last few years and hundreds of hours of video, airflow has never let me down. It just works. I stream a lot of video from an old 2011 MacBook Pro to my TV. Like I said, it just works. The googles and apples of this world could take a page out of airflow developers book (but I do secretly hope giants like that wouldn’t try to buy airflow out…they always ruin a good thing after buying it). The built-in auto search for online subtitles as well as sub-to-video delay for proper sync -up are amazing features, especially if you watch a lot of foreign stuff and heavily rely on subtitles. Can’t say enough good things about airflow! Kudos to the developers!

Amazing App
Been using Airflow for a few years and it’s no doubt the best app for streaming local video files to a TV. I originally used it with my Chromecast and recently got the new 4K Apple TV, both of which Airflow supports. Would definitely recommend. Happy to have paid for it. Also love the Apple Watch integration.
Side note: Recently experienced some buffering (~3x during 2hr movie) using Airflow on macOS to stream to Apple TV. Would love to see this addressed if it’s a known issue — I experienced 0 issues over the years of using Airflow with my Chromecast.
Thanks!

Wouldn’t likely purchase again.
The app isn’t terrible. When it works it works but when it doesn’t it fails pretty bad and unfortunately it fails often. I’ve had consistent issues with subtitles simply turning off mid film, the app closing or losing its connection, and other weird anomalies that I don’t experience using other apps (Plex, AirVideo HD, etc) I’ve used to stream local media with. Overall, I think it could be one of the better apps of this kind if these issues were ironed out but as it is? Not so much. With its ease of use and broad format support it could easily be the best and most convenient but it’s not quite up to snuff. I’m aware that it hasn’t been updated in a while so maybe the experience has deteriorated overtime and I’m just coming onboard too late.

Poor service
I would have given this a 5 star rating except that, after a few months I began having serious playback issues. I made 4 attempts to contact the service department and have never received any response. This represents a poor business model. There is no excuse for ignoring paying customers.
Absolutely incredible
This is my first app review because I am so impressed by it. Such a well designed and easy to use app that JUST WORKS. I thought this might be too niche to have a dedicated app but this was the best 20 bucks of my life. Great job!
Couldn’t live without it
I use this every single day. The Mac app is great, the iOS remote control elevates the experience to even higher levels of excellence. It always works without a hitch. It’s been a long journey to find a fuss-free airplay video player, through apps like Beamer, Elmedia Player and Xmirage. This blows them all out of the water. I’ve even started to enjoy the quirky, totally un-Apple interface.
