Chill Zones: Looped videos Reviews

ChillZones is great! It allows me to loop my aerial drone videos to my large screen tv through my Apple TV 4K. I upload the videos to my iCloud account using the Chill Zones app on my iPad. Then after downloading the Chill Zones app on the ATV, I just click on it and select which video I want to watch, click on the repeat icon and sit back and enjoy!

I was having an issue of my videos not loading on the ATV app with tvOS 17.4, just an endless spinning gear. I contacted Filip, the developer, by email and he was so incredibly helpful in troubleshooting the problem. He updated ChillZones today and it now works perfectly. Outstanding customer support!

I LOVE this for my mini edc or festival sets in my living room. Pair some looped screensavers with some great edm and some sound sensitive light strips or Nanoleaf lights and you got yourself a stage. Only thing I have is if a progress bar can be added in the TV app to lmk download progress for what is in the cloud, currently it just says “loading” for an unknown amount of time until it’s downloaded and will play.

Love ChillZones!!

ChillZones does exactly what you’d expect.

Save some videos to ChillZones and then you can view them on the Apple TV in a looping screen saver view.

It was super easy to get started and set everything up, and within a minute my saved videos appeared on the TV!

One thing - I was hoping I could listen to music while having the videos play (similar to how Apple’s default screen savers function) but this was not available. I would love to see this feature added later in development!

ChillZones does exactly what you’d expect. If you want custom screen saver videos, this is brilliant.

Great app but iPhone app crashes often. I wish the corresponding Apple TV app had volume/mute settings. Also wish Apple TV app could delete downloaded videos; need to delete ChillZones to do that, then reinstall app and re-upload videos I want to keep. Some videos that play fine everywhere and even look fine in iPhone app preview play all washed out on Appke TV.

Please do updates with the ability to create separate folders and shuffle those playlists

Thanks so much to this creator! It makes it possible to use video as a screensaver or wallpaper on Apple TV. I use this for my business as a graphic display. Love it!

Super easy to use and absolutely amazing capabilities

When I attempt to upload a video on the iPad app, ChillZones freezes with the “compressing video” dialog. It never goes beyond that. I let it sit for over an hour for a 23 second video. It just sat there.

WOW! Looping screensavers! I love it! Screensavers even have sound!

So far so good.

Update 6.17.21
Attempted to use ChillZones with my iPhone instead of my iPad. It worked pretty smoothly. Even with long videos. I think ChillZones needs to explain in the description that devices before 2018 will have problems running ChillZones . I also wish I could make it the default screensaver. But it does work.

Previous review -
I’ve tried videos as short as 5 seconds and ChillZones will freeze and then start again later. If it worked I’d love it.
