Playlister Reviews & Product Details

IT MADE MY LIFE SO EASY!!! We use Go! Curriculum and I was spending hours a week building powerpoints and uploading them to another "file storage" website only to have issues streaming it on Sundays. My heart is overwhelmed with gladness that Playlister made this area of ministry enjoyable for me again! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not always prefer having to connect to wifi and turning the Apple TVs to get into Playlister in order for them to download to each device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration with apple tv makes it easy to put on multiple screens in different rooms. This solves a major hassle when it comes to putting everything together. You do it once and it shows up in every classroom. Quick and painless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Trying to get it on a projector is problematic when it comes to audio. especially it the projector is not near the sound board, like a ceiling mounted situation. This makes it so we have to use pro presenter on our main screen but it would be really handy if there was a desktop version of Playlister or some kind of desktop integration that would allow us to use it for EVERYTHING. Not just our smaller classrooms with televisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease and access of adding slides. Whoever you want on your team can have an account and it is super easy to train how to add media and make playlists. Plus, teaching your volunteer teams how to access the app and use it is just as simple. Getting the TVs setup with the app is not difficult at all. We have multiple classrooms that use it for one playlist, but one room that runs multiple, and having these setup and integrated was extremely easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost. Buying Apple TVs upfront is expensive and the subscription can add a lot to the cost. For the lite version, running 7 screens, we are already paying 4x as much as we do for 20 seats of ProPresenter. If you want to not buy Apple TVs but rent, you pay even more, which just after a year ends up being more money than buying the Apple TVs and running Lite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best things about Playlister is that it is web-based and allows me to work on our presentations/programming from any computer and not just in the location where the presentation will take place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have found very few downsides of playlister - especially when compared to previous platforms. I find little things that could be added to it to enhance what it offers, but no real downsides. The only real "dislike" I have is that when printing the playlist - the slides aren't numbered which can sometimes be a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use for the end user. Managability of users and devices. The Support team has been great with support and answering any questions I've had. So far implementation has been easy. Setup the show, tag it to the correct screen and sit back. The level of tech-savvyness volunteers goes down. There are less likely to be issues for the volunteers to troubleshoot if any.

I would like to see the ability to do more design work in the app. ie. add text over graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have really enjoyed how EASY it is to upload content and share it across screens in or program. We use it every Sunday morning for our preschool through middle school Sunday school classes. We can be unified as a program with what we use for our curriculum and our teachers do not have to worry or spend time uploading videos for their lessons. When we rolled out Playlister we had excellent support and a few video calls with a Playlister team member to make sure we were set up well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's sometimes hard to organize a lot of information/slides and easily see them to shuffle their order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is extremely user friendly both from the development side and how it's implemented in the classroom. My administrative support team enjoys how easy it is to build playlists, and my teaching staff loves how everything they need for their lessons is in one place and easy to use. We use Playlister every week for our Children's Ministry needs. If any of my team has questions, the response time and friendliness of the Playlister support team is wonderful!

I have yet to find anything to dislike! Something new is added almost weekly that makes us go, "WOW! Now we can even do THAT with Playlister!" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the ability to add YouTube videos straight into the browser. I also like the ease of use. Using the Apple TV makes it simple, and adding media through the web browser is very helpful. If I can't access my computer, being able to do it on an iPad is helpful. When I had an issue, I emailed customer service, and they responded quickly and were very helpful. I truly have been incredibly happy with the service! I cannot recommend it enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest downside is that the YouTube downloader is in beta, and it has been unavailable at times or has been very slow. Also, when adding multiple media files at once, it can get bogged down and sometimes fail to upload. My final recommendation is not to complain; if there were an iPad and iPhone app to add media, that would be fantastic. Using the mobile web browser can be difficult at times, and an app would solve that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's so helpful and easy, both for our staff and serve teams! We've had almost no issues with it, and it is way easier and cheaper than paying for computers and presenting software like we did before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The file manager system and the playlist manager system is a little clunky. As of right now, if I create a new folder or playlist, it always creates it outside of the system instead of inside the folder I'm currently in, which means I need to drag and drop the playlist I want to use into a folder after creating it. But this is very nitpicky! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to schedule playlists. I like how easy it is to download materials. I like being able to share the playlists weekly with our coordinators prior to Sunday mornings. We have a lot of good feedback from our volunteers who run the tech equipment on Sunday mornings. They love how easy it is to run. It didn't take much to train the volunteers which is nice.

One struggle is having to make an MP4 to attach to announcement slides verses an image. It's also a bummer I can't copy media from one folder to another verses simply moving it because sometimes I would like it in more than one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
