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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Awesome Application
My restaurant has a small waiting area for take out. Customers were often bored and would stare at my team while they prepared their food. Sometimes they would complain about the time it took, however it was not very long at all. There was just nothing for the customer to do. Adding atmosphere tv allows customers to watch small clips and stay engaged and not focus on their time waiting. Now some stay a few minutes after they have received their food to see what is on next. Great product and I would highly recommend.
Pros
Easy of use Several channels to choose from. Allows you to keep the contender fresh.
Cons
Sometimes the Apple TV box needs to be reset. But doesn’t happen often.

Great content
I would highly recommend Atmosphere to any business owner currently paying for cable or settling for over-the-air broadcast TV. The content is much more consistent and engaging.
Pros
They provide great, engaging content for my business. Their customer service is very responsive and for the price, you can't beat it. The 12 channels add variety to the content, and they seem to update it fairly often.
Cons
I would like if they had one or two additional channels with more family friendly content, and their free tier has quite a few ads mixed in.

Free Entertainment for All Types of Customers!
Pros
All of our customer base (kids, adults both young and old) enjoys the videos on the Atmosphere TV device and it's great that they play just fine without sound, so it doesn't interfere with our house music. Easy to setup and use and entertaining for those who are waiting in our lobby. Would definitely expect to pay for a service like this so to get the device and stream for free is a huge pro.
Cons
Sometimes when the WiFi is spotty, the stream can get choppy.

Atmosphere TV in Sports Bar
[Sensitive Content Hidden] at Atmosphere was awesome. He was able to answer all of my questions and got an Apple TV on the way in no time.
Pros
The software is really easy to use. I plugged it into my system at a sports bar with 50 TV's. Now I can cast it to any TV I want. The content that is played keeps the customers entertained and the option to advertise in between clips is outstanding.
Cons
I have had no issues with the software. Not a huge Apple fan but the software runs fine.
