What do you like best about Playlister?

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.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

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.

"Great Standalone Control, But Playlist Editing Needs Improvement"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Playlister?

The ability to control it without a computer or an ipad are a game changer for our set up and tear down church. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

I don't like that you can view the slides full screen as you are building the playlist. I also wish you could select different media components at once to delete all or move all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Slide Management on Desktop, But Mobile Experience Needs Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about Playlister?

It has made my announcement slide life a lot easier. I just add the slides from any computer and fire off the playlist and it just works exactly how it's supposed to. It was easy to set up and it's very easy to use. Customer support has been great helping me to understand it and use it quickly. I use it every time we stream which has been a huge help, and it easily integrated into our current A/V setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

It's not easy to use if you're not on a desktop. So, phone is really really hard to use and there's not an app for it, so that kind of limits it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Playlister makes setting up for Sunday School a breeze!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Playlister?

Playlister makes set up for our children's class so much simpler. We currently have been using ProPresenter in all of our classes, which while it is a great program, requires expensive equipment in the rooms and the proper training for the personnel in the classrooms. We have 7 children's classroom's currently, which means every Sunday, we are dealing with technical problems in one of the rooms (screens not showing up properly, music account logged out for some reason, curriculum not updated properly, etc).

Playlister makes this process so much simpler for the teachers. While we have only integrated it in one class so far, our entire team is very excited for us to expand on the program to each classroom. This also allows our Children's Pastor to update the digital curriculum from home all at once, instead of making a trip to our facility and going to each individual classroom to update the computers!

The Playlister software is also pretty easy to use once you understand it, and their YouTube page has plenty of videos showing off some of the features. Additionally, they are consistently updating their app to add more features and versatility, which is greatly appreciated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

The only thing I would like a solution for with Playlister is something a little bit more seamless for music integration. We normally have a music app streaming in the classroom before and after service. While we can add music files to Playlister and have them automatically go to the next song when it completes, it is more of a hassle than just streaming a playlist from online. In the grand scheme though, this is a very minor issue! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quite possibly the most efficient and easy upgrade to our Kids Ministry in a decade or more!"
5/5
What do you like best about Playlister?

The ease of use, the time saved from downloading vides then uploading them to flash drives and taking them to classrooms and then hoping volunteers understand how to access them...the ease of implementation with a simple Apple TV install and app download and adding it within the configuration...boom, you're up and running. Great product, thoroughly thought out, great support and communication from Playlister reps (thanks, Evan) and easy for even first-time volunteers to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

I've got nothing bad to say about this product...nothing. It has helped us in every way that we use it! Well...it did just cost us a little money because we've decided to implement Playlister in 3 more of our rooms!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Playlister?

Super easy to use. Can run this in the KiDS Ministry without a specific person to run production. Can easily update curriculum from home or wherever. The ability to add a video from YouTube with the link, no need to download or have a premium account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

When the YouTube import link was down for a few weeks. Otherwise, I have no complaints at this time. Maybe having a mobile app instead of having to open in a web browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best product for kids ministry"
5/5
What do you like best about Playlister?

I made the change from USB to playlister for my kids ministry. Leaders loved the change and I am able to train on the spot or ahead of time on how to use it. That is how simple it is! An incredible tool that allows teachers to be in control and not have to worry about technology failing. The installation is easy and seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

There isn't one thing i dislike about the technology itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Playlist Creation, But Pricey and Limited to Apple TV"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Playlister?

Playlister is very simple to use and I love how easily you can make a playlist. I rarely have technical difficulties using it. Slides can easily be uploaded as well as music and videos and you can put a lot in one playlist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

It is somewhat unhelpful that playlister is so expensive and unavailable on TV's other than an apple TV. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wouldn't do ministry without it."
5/5
What do you like best about Playlister?

I love how much time it saves me as a Children's Director at our church. I use Playlister every single week for our Children's ministry. I upload all our content from GROW Curriculum every month to it's media portion and then just add what I need every week, if I am on top of it I can upload and prep the entire month within 30 minutes. I also love that I can send out all the slides to my volunteers before our weekend services. They are able to actually visualize what the weekend service will look like first hand and offer suggestions before they run through it on a Sunday morning. I love how quick and easy it is to change things if I need to update something day or even minute of our ministry happening (and I can do it from wherever)! All of my volunteers love it and have gotten the hang of it within the first month of us using it. The Playlister team is always supportive, personable and unbelievable fast getting back to me if I need something.

I worked at a different church that used playlister, and one of the first things I did when I took this job at our new church was make sure that I got playlister for our ministry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

Truthfully, I like everything about this product and have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
