Ratings and Reviews
pretty good but not great
I don't like the slight pauses between loops. It's irritating and I know it can be done better. I think there is still too much backgroud noise pollution (hiss). It can be fixed with simple EQ technology, just make the effort to do it. Otherwise the sound is great and the video is very nice, except for the nearly intolerable pause in the loop. Loops could still be longer, I mean, how hard IS it? I think a couple of the pans are too far out. I'd rather see more of the fire burning than the outside of the fireplace. Crackling is nice, overall a nice app with great potential; needs an update to fix a few issues. I would recommend it (talk it up) if just a few modifications were made. Please work on it and give us an update, I would give it a 5 star rating if you fixed these few issues. Like I said, a lot of potential to become a standard app. just work on it a little more. :~)
Could Be Great With Improvements
Its a fun little $0.99 app, but some improvements will for sure go a long way:
1) Longer fire clips. The clips feel like they are about 10 seconds long, and then they repeat. I may not be exactly right, but that is the feeling I get from watching this.
2) More UI Polish. The UI on this app, while simple, is annoying at best. When you enter fullscreen mode, it does not hide your mouse (it may not be able to as per Apple's prohibition of private APIs), but it then makes matters worse by popping up a menu when the mouse is moved. In effect, you try and close the menu and move the mouse to the corner of the screen and the menu pops back up.
3) Like another reviewer, a few more fires (and longer clips of those) would be great.
Overall, its a fun app. But could be something I use on a regular basis is the short duration loops didn't make me slightly nausiated.
2nd monitor
Overall this is an awsome app, I found you can resolve the popup issue when using a 2nd monitor by clicking Fireplace App -> About Fireplace App, It dosent accually bring up the about page but it prevents the popup untill the next time you click on the fireplace screen. Also you can click on spaces in the dock (because the hot corners are disabled).
I would consider adding the ability to change sounds (but keep the one you have now) however it would be nice to give it a bit more of the deep roar you might expect from a fire this size.
