Really nice Fireplaces but useless on any Smart TV that has minimal internal storage: which is all of them. With 30MB of storage you would think you could move it to an external memory storage; you cannot. I will have to uninstall until this gets changed.
A really nice app, but could you enable the app to rotate on your next update. I have a Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab tablet that I can hang on the wall. But unfortunately as you app does not rotate the fire display is upside down. Thanks, The update works a treat.
Stunning graphics, with an incredibly realistic sound, &, the best part is, its actually real 4K UHD!! When you first open the app, scroll right, passed all the displays, before buying!! Unless you're intent is to only buy a specific one, as each display is sold separately. π§ π π§ FYI, the 4K display is turned off by default, when using the app for the first time! To view in 4K, you must go to settings & set it to 2160p resolution in the drop-down menu! Now, go cozy up by the fire & enjoy!π₯
Edit: Okay, I bought it, even though there is no sleep timer. I will just ask that you put one in, please. :) Original: Seems okay. It would be nice if more than the embers were free, like just one more option. The price to unlock them all at once is actually a decent deal, but I would want a sleep timer option before spending money on the app. The sound quality is nice, and the embers look really good. If you add a sleep timer, let me know.
Every fireplace looks great and usually plays well. I have to give the app two stars in its current state though because it frequently just does not seem to work correctly. About half of the time, when I open the app, the resolution is reset to 1080p, rather than 4K. As well, it either doesn't save or read downloads of the fireplaces? I can't tell if this is just how the app works, but I'm having to re-download them anytime I open the app which is annoying with the low speed of in-app downloads.
Love it. Worth buying. I'm still in the process of adjusting to spending money on digital products. I always look for a way to get something free, but after understanding the process of creating digital products, I am more open to supporting developers who give quality products like this one. The ambience is well done, to a point where i get into a quiet flow state.
Love the crackle and blaze. Good images and sound. However if I leave it on play for an extended play period to provide an ambient effect, the video portion of the app continues plays but the audio portions cuts out. If you can fix this or tell me what to do I my end to fix this audio cut off, the app would get a βββββ from me!!!
It's good, if your happy with just a 15 second loop of a whole fire. I'd have liked to see one burning naturally to a final conclusion.
simple and easy to use with excellent video quality. would be 5 star if casting to tv was available - edited to add that i should have tried mirroring my phone before suggesting casting didn't work. casting works seamlessly and there is no loss on picture quality. brilliant realistic fire on the big screen. one minor issue is that the play button for each fireplace is partially obscured - developer aware so hopefully will be tweaked in a future update.
Love the app. Definitely worth the purchase just wish there was a way to rotate the screen over. I have a samsung fold and to wireless charge it in my car while viewing the fire it's upside down.
It does look and sound great and was able to connect my hue lights to it. I bought the bundle but none work, except the basic one. I get a loading error message. Also do i have to purchase for each tv ? Error was on a Sony X-80J. Went to try it on an A-80J but the purchase didn't carry over, thou using same Google Play account.
Great screen saver and the BEST avalaible yet. I bought this screen saver holiday package (Includes all variants) for my 4K tv and everything is great and it can give you a false sense of warmth (psychologically) by just having this in your living room. This is best enjoyed when the lights are out or very dim warm lighting in the evening or night time, you can also play your favourite acoustic, jazz, or classical tunes in the background to compliment the mood or you can also have it as it is.
( King's Chamber ) I put this on my Samsung S10 + and project to my Samsung 55" curved tv. Beautifully designed. The flames, smoke and sound are all very realistic. I would like to see two things in future updates. 1) more crackles and pops. 2) I am mostly concerned because on the front side of the left, right, top of the fireplace and the front log at the base there is no charge. This could cause screen burn-in on a TV. All tvs are subject to this. I still highly recommend this app
Very nice app I now set my screensaver to come on more often! I never turned the 4K setting on until I reset my TV and went through again and wow it looks even better! Just wish there was more customisation on flames and colours as well as more minimal ones to choose from. Will definitely purchase if more is available
I have this weird bug weβre the app doesnβt either close properly or just hangs after a successful screen save, Iβve purchased the screensaver bundle because I love this app but want this annoying bug fixed, have to kill the app in the bg to stop it from making the fireplace noise on the home screen on my SHIELD!
I bought this for my Sony Bravia tv and some of the videos were a little glitchy in 4k, but in an example of the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER, the developer replied to my email (sent on a Sunday night) and fixed it completely with higher res videos - extraordinary. Love it β€ π
[UPDATE] Wow, super responsive developer, bug was fixed within days of having reported it. Works perfectly now on all my devices. The fireplaces look beautiful on our 65" OLED TV. Good selection and very reasonable priced given quality of app and level of developer support.
Not clear enough that one fireplace is free and the others are paid. The free one happens the be the crappiest one too, obviously. EDIT: I'm very conscious that developers have to make a living, I just think they should point out what you get or don't get in the app description ie one fireplace free, the others can be unlocked with a small one time payment. Otherwise its verging on bait and switch. Extra star though for your efforts.
Thank you for your answer, I've already seen the settings and of course I have a 4k TV. I'm not that naive to expect 4k videos on a HD TV. But the maximum resolution that I can choose in the settings is full hd, even if my TV is 4k.
Worked perfectly on Philips OLED with Ambilight. It becomes the native Android TV screensaver, it has a selection of fireplaces so I can test the colors with Hue...excellent! Are the purchased videos 4k? Because the previews don't seem to be.
Misleading description. The description says "chose from 6 fireplaces". The correct description should read "you get a free charcoal screen but you can also purchase from 5 other options available"... Since none of the fireplaces can be used unless you purchase them, which is fine, it's understandable that apps and devs need to make money, but they should make things clear from the start
You've stopped my smart TV device from working, I want to install it but I cannot. I want my money back as well! Beware, this app is dangerous
Amazing experience.. simple and smooth app experience. Fills my entire 6.5" mobile screen. Reasonable pricing for in app purchase.
Yes I just downloaded it and I made a slight mistake because I purchased one of them and then I went to the reviews and someone so kindly suggested that we go to the end and buy all of them which is a good buy and I'm sure I got my refund but you should put it in the beginning and also the Hues are not working for any of the fireplaces thank you so much
Almost perfect, it's really annoying you can't set a default fireplace, and that it changes all the time.
Amazing fireplace! Best one out there. I paid to unlock all the different fireplaces. if there were more available, I'd buy those too.. keep up the good work!
It's a great app but I have asked for a refund unfortunately. Reason being now developers are going to in app purchase I can no longer share my purchases with my main account. I have money on my secondary GP account and a different account on my TV which is fine but I have to keep that account as my first account on Nvidia shield not as my second account because the app doesn't work. The trouble is all my watch list is on my first account which doesn't show in Google TV unless it's first.
Really nice animation looks real and loops seamlessly. Nice selection of Fireplaces and styles. Warms my room by 10Β° every time I fire it up!
Sadly, this doesn't appear to work as a screensaver. Tapping the settings icon (next to the screensaver selection) led to a blank black screen, and tapping "Start now" to run the screensaver resulted in nothing at all happening.
