### 2/5 — Rubbish

*2023-11-26, version 2.7*

Can’t add music.  Every time you try it crashes. 
Will request a refund. ASAP

### 3/5 — Just missing one feature...

*2012-10-02, version 2.3*

Portrait view

### 4/5 — AirPlay Error

*2012-04-05*

Love the app.  But... In AirPlay mode, if you screen off the iPad the video stops playing... AirPlay supposed to stay on in the background if the unit is in screen off mode. Fix this and it will be a 5 star app.

### 1/5 — Ummm

*2012-02-26, version 2.3*

It wont lode

### 4/5 — Like this app...

*2012-02-19*

UPDATED, the staff behind the app were very helpful when the app wasn't working for me correctly.  They responded within a day.  Turns out it was a network connection issue.  Very happy with product thus far.

### 2/5 — Fire app

*2012-01-29, version 2.3*

Looks great but does not work with apple TV!

### 1/5 — Animations too fast

*2012-01-24, version 2.3*

It worked fine for me, but the video is sped up. Why not just playback at normal speed?? It is really hard to relax with high-speed fire in your face.

### 1/5 — Not supported

*2012-01-15, version 2.3*

Will not show video only plays sound when iphone4 with iOS 5.0.1 is connected to a hdmi apple adapter

### 2/5 — Fireplace

*2012-01-07, version 2.3*

I really like the images and sound effects of the fire. I just wish that when you add your own music from your Library you could stop whenever you want and pick the songs out of the ones you added in the playlist to play.

### 1/5 — Negative!!!

*2012-01-04, version 2.3*

The image of the fireplace isn't very attractive, I believe it needs to be worked. Also, it doesn't have the option to play continuously.

### 2/5 — Not perfect

*2012-01-01, version 2.3*

No sound ...impossible to turn music on...

### 1/5 — Locks up

*2023-12-08*

On my fully updated M2 iPad Pro

### 1/5 — WOW!!! I like the original older version. It doesn’t freeze up. It runs continuously.

*2019-12-14*

It works well. And I can get it on my Apple TV. 
Love it.!!! Please tell me how can I get just the app on my Apple TV. I very much love this app for iPad. But I want the app for Apple TV without using the Apple airplay.
Please respond!!! 

I like this app. Please update for iOS 11. I would love to continue using is app. Thank you.

I downloaded the updated version. But it doesn’t work like the old version continuously. After about 10 to 15 minutes or less it freezes up. If you could make it work like the original one the first one. I will give it four stars.

### 1/5 — Rubbish, picture freezes after a few minutes

*2017-12-16, version 2.7*

I wished I hadn’t wasted my money buying this app. All seemed good when first used. However, the picture freezes after a few minutes and the sound continues. Tried a hard reset and turning off the screen auto lock. Nothing made a difference. Until these glitches are ironed by the developers out it’s not worth the money.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work properly!

*2015-11-01, version 2.5*

Doesn't work with Apple TV, does not mirror, waste of money!

### 1/5 — Sound but no view with Apple TV

*2014-08-24, version 2.5*

I installed the app, but I don't see the fireplace on my TV. I only hear the cracking sound of the fire. I see the loading sign only . I'm disappointed in the app. I hope I get my money back :(

### 1/5 — It's not downloading

*2014-02-23*

It won't download, it downloaded but it doesn't show on my home screen it say I can open it but when I press open it doesn't do anything

### 1/5 — No sound on iPhone 5

*2013-12-25*

No sound!

### 1/5 — No sound

*2012-12-09*

Just downloaded for my 4S with latest iOS.  NO SOUND!!.  and their website is out, too, so cannot contact them!

### 1/5 — Real shame!

*2012-11-03, version 2.4*

Purchased this app so's that I could have a virtual fireplace on my Apple TV. But to my dismay, when I mirror it from my iphone all I get is a very large Apple TV symbol on the screen.
Real shame as the app looks great on my iphone but what real use is that?
Wonder if this will be addressed in a future update....

### 1/5 — D E F E C T I V E

*2012-08-13, version 2.3*

One should not have to pay for this over and over again on iPad 3.  Works for a while then you can ONLY get icons. Sound works intermittently.  if you keep repaying for it, it looks great ... But, we ARE buying and not renting I should think.

### 5/5 — Create romance without the work

*2015-02-07*

I just realized I could play songs while the fire crackles. Love the candle scene too. Outstanding app.

### 5/5 — I have a question...

*2013-02-04*

Well how do I get it on my tv?😐

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2012-12-05, version 2.5*

Works flawlessly on both iPhone 5 and mirrored to Apple TV... the crackling fire sound effects are perfect and the hd quality of the video is superb!... and I like the ability to add music from your library... really adds to the mood... well worth 0.69p

### 5/5 — White

*2012-11-21, version 2.5*

Very white

### 5/5 — Fireplace

*2012-06-09, version 2.3*

A cosy app that is beautiful to watch on a cold winters evening when you crank up the ducted heating.

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2012-05-26*

Works perfect with Apple TV or on the iPad.  The sound is
authentic, it sounds just like a wood fire.  It looks like real wood burning and the candles, just great!

### 5/5 — Love it.

*2012-01-31, version 2.3*

I don't know if it's because it's freezing outside, but I bought this app on the spur of the moment. It works fine on apple tv. In fact it looks amazing. The sound is great too. I can see me using this a lot during the autumn and winter months. It does only show in landscape tho. So if you want to use it on your iPad alone then you'll have to position it horizontally. It's great on apple tv tho. Looks like a real fireplace. Very hi def pic. Beautiful in fact. Well worth the money. Very pleased.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2012-01-06*

I downloaded as a joke for our "romantic" evening. But as it played, we found the crackling sounds soothing and it's beautiful. My favorite, though, is the candle set. It's so pretty. I just leave it sitting on the bookshelf all pretty while it's charging :-)

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-01-05*

This app is great I love it and it plays my music I already have downloaded on my IPad and also on my phone

### 5/5 — Love it

*2011-12-23*

After the update it works great. I do not have Christmas playlist in phone, so I start pandora's Christmas station then start this app. Happy holidays!
