GREAT

LOVE THIS APP

Old-fashioned cheer!

This app deserves a cheery glowing review! The sights and sounds truly evoke a healing time beside and old-fashioned fireplace, even if the scenes might use the equivalent of dura-logs or such, which doesn’t detract significantly. I love best the old-fashioned fireplace, with the great leaping isosceles triangle of high flame crackling merrily and cheerily, and quite upliftingly of my spirit. Well done.

fun visuals

…sometimes you feel the warmth

Amazing app!

Everyone who sees this running on my laptop loves it!!! Wish there were a few more videos to choose from, but I have been 100% satisfied with this app from the very first time I used it. A great way to counteract the cold world of technology! :-)

Fabulous Fireplace App; Needs a Christmas Theme!

This is a great app, which I have installed on a 27" iMac. I like the choices of scenes/types. That being said, there ought to be one more, modeled after the "elegant fireplace" with flowers in the foreground and the "romantic dinner" with champagne glasses. That addition ought to be "Christmas fireplace", with a lit Christmas tree off to the side (with both Christmas tree and fireplace in focus). Other than that omission, this is a great app with soothing fireplace sounds to accompany it, too. I will be moving soon and will greatly miss my fireplace. Im SO glad I found this one to take with me! Thank you, developers!

Love it in the winter!

Runs great on a Retina 5K IMac

So clever. I love i. Particulrly on cold nights

Creates warm atmosphere

The 5-year-old daughter of our friends was captivated. When she thought no one was looking, she walked up and held out her hand near the screen to see if the fire gave off heat! Sweet!

Beautiful fireplaces - each one unique!

Best virtual fireplace I’ve seen. Using it after Christmas - all year round!

Great App; No Multiple Monitor Support Yet

This app does exactly as it says it does. it provides 8 fireplace scenes to choose from in 720p and crackling fire sound audio. My wife has this app installed on her 15” MacBook with retina display and loves it. I loved it on my 17” MacBook Pro until I added 2 external monitors a couple of days later. In my first configuration, the app would only display the fireplace on one monitor. I emailed the developer to inquire about a solution and received a kind reply within a few hours that the app did not have multiple monitor support at this time but he would add that to the list of features to include in the next update. I appreciated the responsiveness and the willingness to continue improving the app. Due to technical issues, I had to change my monitor configuration by installing the Matrox DualHead2Go adapter. This in essence turns two external monitors into one big screen. When I launched the Fireplace Live HD app it stretched the fireplace across both screens. I was hoping this would be a workable solution but because the video is in 720p, it didn’t look good at all. Might have worked if the video was in 1080p. Because I love this app and want it to succeed, I would make the following suggestions to the developer: (1) Add multiple monitor support. (2) Boost videos to 1080p. (If file size is a concern, perhaps you could do what the developers of ‘Magic Window’ have done by only including a 2 videos in the initial download and then allow customers to choose which additional ones they’d like add later.) (3) Add a Christmas fireplace as some others have suggested. Overall, a good app with a responsive developer. But if you have multiple monitors or need 1080p this might not be the app for you.

Have always had a real fireplace

Was a bit sceptical when I purchased this but I have to admit that I leave it up all the time! The variety of different “scenes” are great but I basically keep it on the same one. It is the screensaver in my sitting room that is a side room in a fairly open downstairs and the whole family now knows the crackling sound is coming from “my fireplace’. It is realistic and very soothing. There is no downside…buy it.. you’ll love it!

Pleasant change on screen savers

Colors are vivid on my screen and this makes a pleasant change from other screen savers. This is a very nice application to play on the nights the temps are below zero. It makes the mind think it is warmer in the room.

Great!

It’s just a great app. I really enjoy it; especailly in the fall and winter months.

Sorry I bought it.

The fireplace screensaver is pretty to look at, but inactivates any security settings you have on your computer. Instead of needing to log in like my computer is set to, it just opens up. To use your security settings you need to inactivate the screensaver. I’m sorry I spent the money.

Pop up window

Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but I bought the full version to avoid ads, yet I keep getting an ad with an an offer to buy the full version when I already have done that and thought it was running.

Aquarium HD

App works great on my iMac, I’ve had no problems, recommend it as a great screen saver app.

Fireplaces screen
