### 5/5 — Fireplace 3D

*2020-11-26, version 3.0.1*

Suprisingly realistic. Sometimes if I am in the right mood I can almost feel the heat from the fire.

### 5/5 — I really love this!

*2020-11-12, version 3.0.0*

Gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling when you look at it.

### 5/5 — Warm and Cozy!

*2019-06-04, version 2.1.1*

I really love 3Planesoft animated wallpapers and screensavers, most of which are for the PC.

I wish more would be available for macOS, including Crystal Fireplace, Coral Clock, etc. I would recommend anyone who likes this to check out their other products.

### 5/5 — Love it!!!!

*2017-04-09, version 2.1.1*

Digital but rustic with good settings options; been loving this app for several months now.  Goes great with scary stories or just warming up a winter night with a hot drink.  Great work on this app!!!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2014-11-27, version 2.1.0*

Looks great on a 27" iMac. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Ahhh

*2014-11-25, version 2.1.0*

A very relastic relaxing app, the sound is spot on, now where’s me toasting fork……………………………………...

### 5/5 — Beautiful Graphics and Soothing Fire Sounds

*2014-11-02, version 2.1.0*

This app is very nicely done and integrates very well with OS X. The desktop and screensaver both work very well and the user interface is clean and simple. The hot coals have a beautiful vivid red/orange glow that really does feel warming. The fire sounds are also soothing.

Things I would like to see improved in future versions:
- Better range of inhancements in the paid version (I found the free version is really just as good as the paid one);
- I would like to see an addition of a video mode, where the fireplace video would keep the display awake so that you can enjoy it for longer without having to change system energy saver preferences (note that the system screensaver and display sleep over-ride the fireplace screensaver) - ideallly you could specify whether or not to keep the display/computer awake and for how long;
- I would also like to see better grate and mantle designs and at least one more fire model to choose from in the paid version (current mantle designs look a bit fake)
- The crackling sounds are a bit fake so could be improved (at the moment I just use the fire sounds and switch the crackle sounds off)

### 5/5 — Fireplace 3D is so beautiful!

*2014-01-17, version 2.1.0*

I have mine set as a Victorian fireplace and it is so beautiful. The fire sounds and looks very realistic. I always have this on when I’m in a quiet room. I am able to think better as I work on my assignments, because it the sound of the fire crackles helps reduce the disturbing ringing and buzzing in my ears. This 3D fireplace is worth having. It is so very soothing and visually beautiful! Just to let you know, it is compatible with iMac’s newest OS Mavericks.

### 5/5 — Now I Have a Fireplace in my Apartment

*2013-12-20, version 2.1.0*

I cannot be more pleased with this application. I live in a very small 200 square foot apartment, so there was no way the builders were going to install a fireplace here. But I've got one anyway, thanks to you!

### 5/5 — J D in Ecuador

*2013-11-24, version 2.1.0*

love it ..sounds good and looks very real  

..i put it on my wall through my projector 5 feet high and 8 feet wide…looks great..tks

### 5/5 — Great little app - hoping for “grate” things in future versions!

*2013-11-14, version 2.1.0*

The animation is actually better than “real” as it is very clear and detailed. It is excellent.  In future versions though, I would recommend a greater variety of mantels and grates. Think of gothic, tudor, medieval (think of being able to hang pots over the fire/roast meat on a spit), ingle-nook, ultra-modern, stove, outdoors, georgian, log cabin etc. Would be cool. I mean HOT!

### 5/5 — IM SLEEPING LIKE A BABY!

*2013-09-22, version 2.1.0*

"Let me try this as a night light," I thought to myself. So I darkened the screen, set it to last an hour and a half, and went to bed. IT KNOCKS ME OUT COLD! My wife can't believe Im falling asleep before her.  We hope you can include CRICKETS in future upgrades. Maybe a LOOKING OUT OF A TENT-CAMPFIRE version with more tents in the background and maybe, just maybe, a SLEEPING DOG for protection.

### 5/5 — Very Nice

*2013-07-25, version 2.1.0*

I like the sight and sounds of the fire. The best one is the Traditional Fireplace in my opinion.

### 1/5 — IT'S LIKE A COCKROACH, YOU CAN'T GET RID OF IT

*2016-02-27, version 2.1.0*

ALTHOUGH A NICE IDEA ROR WINTER, THIS APP HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. APPEARING ANYTIME IT WANTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LEAST WANT, AND WHEN YOU DO WANT IT, FAILS TO FOLLOW SETTINGS. I WOULD DO BETTER PILING LOGS ON THE HARDWOOD FLOOR.

### 1/5 — After intstallation macos rebooted and wont start any more

*2014-04-22, version 2.1.0*

### 1/5 — 3Planesoft Fireplace 3D

*2013-12-18, version 2.1.0*

Great looking screensaver in the traditional Planesoft quality. However, (please excuse the pun here and this is not a joke) this is the first screensaver that has caused burn-in on my imac screen. I have used other Planesoft products for a few years with no issues. With darker shades of wallpaper you can see the outline of the fireplace and the logs. It took about a week to notice the burn-in. I will be contacting Apple to discuss a replacement screen. Cannot give a good rating to this product !!

### 1/5 — Dreadful!!!

*2011-12-15, version 2.0.1*

NOT real fire - it's animated and looks awful.  If you waste your money after reading this you're your own fool!

### 3/5 — Decent, but not there best.

*2011-08-27, version 1.0.0*

It would be much better if the logs did not look like a photo, but rather the embers glowing on a relay…or something. It does get a bit anoying looking at realistic flames but still logs. Also have the stones of the fireplace changing a bit more dramatically to the light of the fire.

### 3/5 — Good But Flawd

*2011-08-27, version 1.0.0*

Looks great. Good price.  It does not work with Mission Conrol in Lion.  When you go into Mission Control. while Fireplace 3d is running you can't see the other apps running at the top of the screen  is Mission Control.  It works fine in screensaver mode but not when you are also running it in desktop background mode.

### 4/5 — Very Nice

*2023-01-12, version 3.1.0*

I really enjoy this Fireplace as it adds ambience to my room.
It did seem to take forever to download and it did not load until the next day, but it was worth waiting for

### 4/5 — Relaxing

*2022-12-17, version 3.1.0*

Works great to help reduce stress!

### 4/5 — Fireplace 3D

*2021-12-18, version 3.1.0*

Nice.  I use it at Christmas.

### 4/5 — looks so real you get warn.

*2021-11-09, version 3.1.0*

we just cozzy up and stare at it all night.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-02-23, version 3.1.1*

I absolutely love fireplaces. I love fire, find it soothing and calming to look at. I put fireplace videos on YouTube on in the background on the TV and before this, on the computer. I love this app, it’s detailed, beautiful, realistic, I love the options for sound and visuals. Also love the option for screen saver mode. You wont regret paying for the full features if you love fireplaces. Its well worth every penny.

*2021-09-06, version 3.0.2*

I think this is real

### 5/5 — Best Screensaver

*2020-12-22, version 3.0.1*

Heard the crackling of wood and noticed a burning fireplace on the iMac.  Realistic and gets you into the mood to grab a cup of coco and cozy up to the fire.

### 5/5 — Great

I really like it.
