MacDesktop,
I bought this app to show support for the free app.

The classic is the best of the four. You have a winner with the free app, however the loop timing on the three new fireplaces are not seamless and instead are very noticeable. In order of best to worst, 1st Classic, 2nd Stone Age, 3rd Campfire, 4th Modern. The Classic has all the right elements, the flames stay in frame and the video is loop perfect, nice crackle, but no poker :-(. Na, who needs an arm in the video, especially when you are trying to make the app small. Did you not have an HD source so you couldnt upgrade it? I saw the fade-to in the Stone Age and then an abrupt cut. Also I cant see any wood. Stone Age should still have some wood and coals. The Campfire flames seem a bit too high, and flow out of frame. This could be my second favorite. I like the wind blowing, again I noticed the seam in the video. At first, I thought my hard drive was busy, but it happened again and then again, so then I knew, its the seam. Trouble with flame height, no real control outside, with wind and all. Seriously, Modern can go. The crackle seems out of place and and the visual around the flames arent my taste. I wont mark you down for it, its just not pleasant to look at. If it were in my house, I would buy a new house, or a wood burning stove insert to replace it. the brick seemed too fake. The glass and silver things, yeah thats just modern yuck. I think you can redo these, maybe have the fade-to somewhere in the middle and trial and error to get the ends seamless. I dont know how much trouble you went through to make the additional fires. They seemed a bit more rushed than the Classic, which is almost flawless. Keep up the good work, I want to see some updates. :-)

All the visuals without the ashes and heat

Its a good app and I like just having it on here in Minnesota. Since I dont have a fireplace, its a good visual. I can set it up and help set a nice quiet evening.

The perfect Fireplace

All the great features the classic Fireplace App provided plus more! This elegantly simple application lets you enjoy a beautiful fireplace. The audio is superb, the roar and crackle of the fire heart warming. If youre this review, you owe it to yourself to give Fireplace Plus a try.

The sounds are fantastic!

Definitely worth a buck. Turn the crackle all the way up and enjoy the ambiance!

Best audio out of all the fireplace apps.

I tried other fireplace apps and this one is the only one that has seamless audio, though the video quality needs an upgrade, colors are too bleached!

Kind of a novelty

One cant help but believe that a real fire is more alluring than a digital one. Right? The use of this application is pretty sparse, but I suppose this depends on the person. The video quality is good, although the colors are somewhat pale. The video quality of this plus version is only minimally better than the free version. Side option window could be improved.

Wonderful.

I cant think of anything to make this better for the price. Ive tried countless fake fireplaces and none come close. Unless you are *REALLY* picky... you will love this app. So simple, so functional.
