Nice app, but Need a search function.

I don’t ever leave reviews for apps, but I really feel compelled to write one this time. Over the last few years and hundreds of hours of video, airflow has never let me down. It just works. I stream a lot of video from an old 2011 MacBook Pro to my TV. Like I said, it just works. The googles and apples of this world could take a page out of airflow developers book (but I do secretly hope giants like that wouldn’t try to buy airflow out…they always ruin a good thing after buying it). The built-in auto search for online subtitles as well as sub-to-video delay for proper sync -up are amazing features, especially if you watch a lot of foreign stuff and heavily rely on subtitles. Can’t say enough good things about airflow! Kudos to the developers!

Airflow is great when it works and for the most part it does. However, occasionally Apple will change something in Airplay, macOS or tvOS that breaks or limits the server app and due to sparse updates from the dev (and the abandoned Air Video HD) I’m always worried that the software has been abandoned. As I type, either Tahoe 26.4.2 or tvOS 26.4 has made the near perfectly functioning Airflow a pain to deal with again. I’m getting constant buffering on high bitrate H.265 mkv files that previously worked fine. I’m not even sure if the dev is aware of the issue even though it’s been mentioned in other reviews. Hopefully, it will be addressed. Until then I’m dropping my rating from a 5 to a 3 since I do still use Airflow and prefer it over things like Plex.

Been using Airflow for a few years and it’s no doubt the best app for streaming local video files to a TV. I originally used it with my Chromecast and recently got the new 4K Apple TV, both of which Airflow supports. Would definitely recommend. Happy to have paid for it. Also love the Apple Watch integration.Side note: Recently experienced some buffering (~3x during 2hr movie) using Airflow on macOS to stream to Apple TV. Would love to see this addressed if it’s a known issue — I experienced 0 issues over the years of using Airflow with my Chromecast.Thanks!
