The ease of use for both myself setting up and my volunteers to use on the weekend. I love how I can easily adjust the lessons to meet my churches needs. I can add worship videos or our own video messages. I can send out a link for families that are still not attending in person . We also love that there is no more lag time waiting for our iPads to screen mirror to the TV. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing! I wish I could get a discount for referring friends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Playlister allows us to share content online with families who have not yet returned to church due to COVID 19.
It is also a timesaver for our Kids leaders. Content is loaded centrally and leaders just turn on the Apple TV and download each week's lesson. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The per-screen cost adds up quickly for our larger campuses. I would like to see a flat fee for organizations who use many screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to use, it will revolutionise the way we do ministry, es[ecially in this time of doing church remotely. The LOrd's timing in bringing a platform like this to churches is awesome.
As well as being user friendly, the service I have received has been so incredibly friendly, very personal, right down to having a one on one zoom call with Chris Holland, the Founder and Chief Happiness Officer.
Such a great title Chief Happiness Officer, and the happiness is for sure real in being able to use such a great platform.
Excited to some potential updates that are due to be released tha that will enhance the experience even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That I didn't find it sooner!

Playlister has helped our organization work smarter- 1 staff person builds content that streams to 30+ environments. A huge advantage is that we were able to link our Playlister account to our Orange account and files automatically appear in our libraries. So our staff person is not spending loads of time uploading content to Playlister! Other great advantages; it's easy to use, classrooms require less technology, classrooms require fewer volunteers for large group, you don't need internet to play your playlists, and the new added bonus of online links to share with families at home to keep them engaged when they aren't able to attend church is AMAZING.! The Playlister team is very helpful and great to work with!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a learning curve with the remote. For us, our host or room lead, has the remote in hand and is responsible for moving paused files forward which we find works great. Before using Playlister, we used a tech volunteer to run programming from a computer so the host wasn't operating a remote. You can choose to use a tech volunteer to operate the remote if your host is not a multitasker! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is so straightforward to use. It has exactly the features I need and is SO EASY. I began saving time immediately because I didn't even have to put in any work to learn it. It syncs with my Orange account so I don't even have to transfer/copy/move things! Easy for me, easy for my volunteers. All around awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Well, it would be nice if everything was free. But it is worth paying for because of the time and hassle it has saved for me and for my volunteers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Their team is quick to respond to questions. The system is very user friendly no matter the age and comfort level with technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have yet t come across anything that I do not like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Playlister is laid out well and extremely easy for a "non-techy" person (me!) to use. When I did have a question, Chris answered within minutes! Great customer service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I want to move files between folders. I was told they are working on that. It's really not a huge deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like the ease of the platform and the ability to upload almost any sort of content to be shown at various locations to many people at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike the forced religious narrative. I believe this platform can be used for various different purposes, and not just religious content, which they focus on heavily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Playlister saves me hours of downloading time through their integration with Orange curriculum. It is an easy drag and drop interface that can have presentations ready to go in minutes. Also the Apple TV device is plug and play and since the content is stored on the device I never have to worry about slow streaming or lack of internet on Sundays.

No dislikes so far! I am pleased with everything about this service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This tool is very easy to use and it allows personalization - so my kids know its still me - their kids pastor! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it can take time to download the videos - but it's really not a huge hindrance. I am unable to upload my online video - but I am able to upload it from my computer, (so its really two uploads for one video for me.) But still, loving the tools! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Playlister has empowered our service team and teachers to be in control of what's happening inside the classroom. Rather than relying on a centralized computer system to simultaneously play the lessons, Teachers now have the freedom to move at their own pace. It has also empowered our curriculum team to be more hands-on with our serve team and kiddos rather than making sure computers are functioning properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's isn't much to dislike at this point. There is a very small learning curve with learning how use to the Apple TV remote. We found most of our team got it after 5-10 minutes, some of our more seasoned serve team found our teen leaders very helpful with any questions they had. ;-) We did have an issue with one of our older projectors not reading the 1080p, still working on that. However, our newer projectors didn't have an issue at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ability to provide an easy system to display and present information for my volunteers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very little that I dislike. There are three things that I would like to see:
(1) Presenter Mode
(2) Unlocked access of the Apple TV so I can utilize different apps
(3) A clear cache button on the playlists to clear the playlist with one button Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
How can there be a best when it comes to this program? I like everything that Playlister offers. Being in a building where we do not have the option of running wires across the campus, or opening walls to see if we can get wires to our screens, Playlister comes in and solves this problem that could possibly put in in a situation where it will take more time and money than expected.
There is no need to run cables when Playlister can run off the network.
There is no need to be having a meeting or follow up with calls when all you have to do is check the site to see if the screens have been uploaded for the upcoming event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At his point, I have not found a way for Playlister to automatically switch from one folder to another. We have multiple services in different languages. It would be nice if Playlister automatically played a setlist according to the date and time reference.
All our information screen images are duplicated in different languages, so It would be nice if we can "set it and forget it". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Playlister makes it so easy for us to distribute our content to all of our campuses, which allows us to display out content with ease. Since we are a Multi-site church, it can be challenging to find a quick and efficient way for us to distribute content to all of our locatiions. But Playlister has made that so simple, while providing a user interface that is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We do have to create a ton of playlists in order for us to show all of our content the way that we want. We show some of the same content multiple times throughout any given month, which forces us to have to create a separate playlist just to switch out one item. This can become tedious and cumbersome.

Ease of use and online setup available to unit and tv almost immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Is setup for playlistr only. Would like to have access to other apps so a change of source/device and extra network & and cables isn’t needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the simplicity of Playlister and I absolutely love the customer service. The guys at Playlister are top notch and work tirelessly to make sure everything is working smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If running off of wifi, it may take a little time to set up, but knowing that ahead of time, Playlister support will work with you to get it going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best things about using Playlister are:
- the amount of time it saves our staff to prepare the curriculum weekly / monthly
- the ease of use
- the cloud base technology Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Orange curriculum is organized in an alphabetical order. Our dislike is with the inability to search directly for specific material rather than having to scroll through it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. The company listens heavily to user input. 2. Offline caching of content 3. Ease of use for production/classroom side and classroom side of use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Saying the company name 6 times fast becomes annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cost effective, easy to deploy, easy to use, sustainable solution for deploying media remotely to small presentation spaces/classrooms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Requires ethernet connection for downloading content unless configured by Playlister. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
