Poor Execution
jarsfantrigger
The concept is good. Who wouldn't like to use their Apple TV as a Wii replacement? However, the motion sensing is kind of sloppy (nowhere near 1:1). If the controls were better, it would be worth the price, but if you own a Wii, skip it.
Requires WiFi?

My network is wired for performance. Apparently must have your ATV on WiFi for this to work. Deleted :(
Awesome

This is a terrific app! Cannot wait for other IOS apps to be developed for motion use on Apple TV.
Smooth play - no lag

Downloaded and played today on iPhone 5c and apply TV 3. Game was very fluid. I will buy future games from them. No more Wii tennis for me.

This is great fun

This is an excellent start for this type of genre. You can download this if you want a light workout or some fun. The app also keep track of how many calories you burn. This will remind you of the tennis game that came pre-packaged with the Wii. I'm really interested now to see what Apple & the app Developers will come up with in iOS 8 & the new iPhone.
A Nintendo 64 Game... But Worse
SoccerClubChamp
There is nothing positive to say about this game. The user has almost no control over his player. The only aspect you can control is type of swing - normal, slice, or lob - based on the orientation of your iPhone when the ball is near your player, and even this works only about 20% of the time. Basically, holding your palms facing down is like pressing the 'A' button, facing down is 'B', and facing up is 'C' on a Nintendo 64. Except in this game, you have less control over when the button-press actually occurs, and you don't control at all where the player is on the screen. You can't move up toward the net or back toward the baseline, you can't anticipate where the opponent is going to place his volley, or anything like that. The thing that differentiates this game from a Nintendo 64 (not Wii) game is the way the user controls the virtual player. With all of the iPhone's precise sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.) along with 20 years of advances in software, I expected more control over the player than I could get with a standard D-pad style controller. The description and tutorial for this game instructs the user to swing his iPhone like it's a tennis racquet. But there is no reason to swing your iPhone. A slight flick of the wrist does accomplishes the same thing, because the user only controls whether it's a normal, slice, or lob shot. Swinging your iPhone faster, slower, with more or less follow-through, etc. does nothing.
Great idea for an immature platform
MRamirez73
The idea of using the Apple TV in combination for the iPhone as a gaming console is great. The problem is that the response times between iPhone and Apple TV via wifi are too delayed. In addition, mirroring the iPhone image results in a skipping experience. Please keep trying to make this work. The idea is great.
