**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Animation | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**What do you like best about playn?**

Easy user interface for basically anyone just starting out. I thought I would need more coding skills.

**What do you dislike about playn?**

There was very little to dislike, I suppose if there were a more in-depth tutorial for new users that we could refer back to in case we get stuck.

I've used Playn for personal use and research. I am growing in knowledge I can take to clients or into a new career.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**What do you like best about playn?**

The versatility of this program allows me to create one game and share it with Java and Flash users. 

**What do you dislike about playn?**

I don't like not having little differences between the types of players in case I see more Android or Java users in the future.

**Recommendations to others considering playn:**

Look to make sure all of or most of your existing content will fit with this program.

**What problems is playn solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Less development time which means less money to be paid to employees and more ability to create more games, higher level and more options.
