Great for a waiting area
Keeping a customer happy and occupied is always a difficult task. With regular TV content playing people would lose interest or become time focused. Since implementing Atmosphere TV we have noticed customers "enjoying" their wait a lot more and even notating how fast the time passed while they waited.
Pros
It really keeps the customers attention and they enjoy it.
Cons
nothing really, the size of the remote while more than functional it is easy to lose

Attention grabbing content
The overall experience has been painless and the results speak for themselves.
Pros
We were looking for content to stream inside our venue for our customers to keep them activated and engaged. The content Atmosphere provides across 12 channels provides heaps of choice for the wide demographics here in the Club. The content on each channel is regularly updated meaning I am not streaming the same content over and over but able to offer heaps of new video. The ability to feed this stream into our IPTV system allows for the streams to be shown in multiple locations and screens in our Club.
Cons
Very little really. The system worked well straight out of the box.

If you don’t have Atmosphere TV, GET IT!
Atmosphere TV has been very beneficial for my restaurant in drawing people in and have them connect and laugh over it’s content.
Pros
All of my customers love Atmosphere TV. We’ve had it from the very beginning. It’s short clips of crazy things you might see on the internet, just all collected in one place. The best part about it is that for restaurant owners, it’s completely free!!
Cons
The only con that I have noticed over the years is that it has recently started to have commercials. Before there were absolutely no commercials but now they are popping up more frequently.

Medical Practice Waiting Room - Atmosphere TV
Outstanding
Pros
This allows our patients to tolerate sometimes long waiting periods until they are able to get into the exam room to see their doctor. Patients love it, I keep the channel on that shuffles between all the Atmosphere channels. Patients love it. It separates us from the competition where as other doctors waiting rooms are boring and offer nothing to occupy the patients time in the waiting room. I also added at the same time a 70" TV which is also unheard of in a doctors office waiting room. We have turned it into a entertainment experience to help pass their time in a enjoyable manner.
Cons
I do not have any complaints , they have been great. No problems at all. and I am not easy to please.

Liquor store owner that uses this product for entertainment in store
The benefit is that it keeps customers in the store, and it gives them some entertainment to watch if there happens to be a line in the store.
Pros
I love the atmosphere this product creates in my liquor store. this product i believe was designed for Bars to keep customers watching. but what i like about it, is it grabs customers attention when in my store. so they stay longer and it gives something to talk about with the customer. I love that it keeps people smiling and that they always look right up at the TV when they walk into the store
Cons
The only down fall is seeing the same videos over and over. but yes i understand there is only so much content.

Happy Kids
Pros
We are a large rural cafe in South Australia, we have used this for almost 2 years now. Lots of Kids and their parents enjoy watching the content on the TV. We have had lots of praise from parents saying it's a good distraction for their children and it allows them to have a family meal out.
Cons
It has trouble connecting some morning, but after a few attempts, it connects and plays fine.

Customers Love It and So Do We!
Pros
We use Atmosphere TV in our brewery and our customers love this added feature! There is so much content provided that we can switch it up daily to keep it fresh. We like to think of it as keeping our guests sipping a little longer while being entertained. Easy to set up and navigate.
Cons
We have not had any issues at this time.

Much better with apple tv than roku
Good entertainment for little to no expense. Pretty much turn it on and let it go. Folks love watching the coffee chive channel and is good that it is family friendly
Pros
Apple tv is much more of a stable platform than roku. Roku could be very glitchy and would have to be reset often. I have not had to do anything other than turn it on with the apple tv
Cons
None that i know of. I don't think we've had any issues to my knowledge
Reasons for choosing Atmosphere TV
Was directed to by chive. Glad we did

We are Happy Campers with Atmosphere!
Wonderful Experience. Chadwick showed me all of my Atmosphere options that would work with travel and the camping industry. It was easy to convince our corporate office since there are no hidden agendas and fees.
Pros
Being that I am technically challenged at times, I was able to set this up very easily with no problem.
Cons
We like it all. It was easy setup and easy to use with local cable. Very impressed.
Reasons for choosing Atmosphere TV
We felt it offered lots of travel options and more interesting things for customers to watch.

Response from Rarefied Atmosphere
Hi Ann! On behalf of all of us at Atmosphere, thank you for sharing this great review about our company! We are thrilled that you are enjoying your experience!

Keeps my customers attention
Besides technical issues of the loop ending and black screen, Atmosphere TV has put a positive spin on a potentially negative experience of having to wait around for work to be done.
Pros
The content creates an atmosphere that makes my customers forget they were waiting on us to complete the job on their vehicle. Some stay longer just to watch more. I often find my employees walking past the TV just laughing or commenting on what they see.
Cons
Often times the loop ends and returns to a black screen. We leave the TV on and the loop playing, but 2-3 times per week we come in to a blank TV.
Reasons for choosing Atmosphere TV
The price point, the short entertaining clips, the ease of use: set it and forget it.
Reasons for switching to Atmosphere TV
Atmosphere promised a clean environment and safe content. They delivered!

great stuff
Pros
Very easy to use and set up. In fact pretty much no set up required. Just plug it in and away you go. Good content regularly updated. Nice selection of channels for the mood.
Cons
Occasionally freezes. Not not often enough to be a nuisance considering we use this 24hrs a day 7 days per week.

Nothing has come up about a down side to this product.

Great For the Waiting Room
Very good experience! I set it up - and it runs by itself!
Pros
The software is very entertaining for our Clients that come to the office. We have the display running at all times, and everyone enjoys it.
Cons
Sometimes the Apple TV locks up that is used to stream the software - or the remote becomes backlogged, but that is few and far between.

Signage and Content
Pros
In the world of viral videos, it is great to have a provider to source and get all of the content that keep people entertained. And there is something for everyone!
Cons
Must purchase multiple players to use on multiple TVs, so that would require a splitter.
