Make your TV a cozy fireplace and set a romantic mood, with your Chromecast device. You can set a crackling fireplace as the live background for your TV (that has a connected Chromecast device or Google TV). You can select the background with your iPhone or iPad. The fireplaces are *not* static images, but are alive and moving. Plus points: • HD quality live backgrounds - you can pick a roaring fireplace or a subdued one. • These are not streamed from the internet and so, you can keep the live backgrounds running for hours without wasting your network bandwidth. • Once loaded, there are no buffering delays while watching the live backgrounds. • The live background will keep showing even after you disconnect your iPhone or iPad (Tap the 'Exit app on TV' button to quit the application on your TV). • No ads, no lags. Just fullscreen fireplaces on the TV! The fireplaces have crackling audio too (you can use your TV's remote to change its volume). So go ahead, turn off the lights and set the perfect mood, with a fire going on your TV! :-) ** A Chromecast device or Google TV is needed to use this application.

Surprise! It worked! Good fires and sounds. I even felt warmer! 😉 Then it gets interesting.... I switched chromecast off and reconnected only to find that it loops the load instruction, but doesn’t run. You can delete the app, reload and run the app again. This is tiresome. Come on Mr Developer. Not satisfactory. If you charge money, it’s got to work! The developer saw the review and sorted it. Well done! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-09-19* Casts perfectly to my chromcast in my bed room. Quality is HD. Two fireplaces to choose from. Very happy with this purchase. ### 5/5 — I have a fireplace in my living room *2019-09-18* It works great for me. No problem to start or change. Like it very much! ### 4/5 — Works well for me! Could be improved a bit, but overall satisfied. *2018-01-14, version 1.0* Works really well for me in regards to loading and streaming. Does what it says on the package and I am quite satisfied - especially considering the price! One small thing that really bugs me though, is that there are two ticks in the audio that repeats quite regularly and it’s already driving me nuts, and I’ve only just turned it on. Hope this will be changed in a future update! -also, it would be great with a few more choices of fires and longer videos so it doesn’t feel so static. But thanks anyway for an otherwise great app! ### 1/5 — Worthless *2017-12-25* App doesn’t work. I want my money back. **Developer response:** We've published an update that fixes this issue - the video should work with this update. Can you please try the updated app? You may need to restart your Chromecast device or your Google TV for the updated app to work fine. Please let us know if this fixes the issue. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2017-12-22, version 1.0* Doesn’t work, just says “Loading...” ### 1/5 — Doesn't work! Stuck on Load page! *2016-12-23* The whole thing doesn't work! It just gets stuck on the load page and goes no where! Waste of money! There really should be a way to get a refund! **Developer response:** We've published an update that fixes this issue - the video should work with this update. Can you please try the updated app? You may need to restart your Chromecast device or your Google TV for the updated app to work fine. Please let us know if this fixes the issue. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Don't get this app *2016-12-12* It plays the sound but no video! Maybe they will update and fix later but it does not work now! **Developer response:** We've published an update that fixes this issue - the video should work with this update. Can you please try the updated app? You may need to restart your Chromecast device or your Google TV for the updated app to work fine. Please let us know if this fixes the issue. Thanks. ### 2/5 — Eh no *2016-10-02* I gave this a try because i liked the fact that it looked real as opposed to those cheesy 3D renderings of fireplaces, but the looping is awful. Its not like every few minutes, its literally a loop of a few seconds of audio AND video... It may be workable if you have the audio on low and have some nice music playing over it so that the looping becomes unnoticable... And also not stare at it because the visual loops like crazy too... But.... Thats pretty bad. You can get better stuff just by using youtube. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2016-02-06, version 1.0* As previous review, it's stuck on loading so waste of money ## Frequently asked questions about Fireplace on TV for Chromecast ### Does Fireplace on TV for Chromecast have ads?
