Every church wants to influence the next generation. But curriculum doesn’t just appear in your classrooms. You’re responsible for getting it there. That’s why so many Kids Ministry leaders are dependent on USB sticks and old software. Today loading up USB sticks takes up valuable time. And today’s volunteer wants something easy to pick up and use in the classroom. That’s where Playlister can help. ## Playlister Pros & Cons **What users like:** - Users praise the **ease of use** of Playlister, finding it simple to upload and share content seamlessly.

Effortless Video Management with Innovative Features **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brad C. | Director of Information Technology, Religious Institutions, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Playlister?** We use Playlister to play video content in our classrooms and small venues throughout our church. I love how Playlister allows us to easily upload video content and distribute it from a centralized platform. It's super easy to use and so intuitive that it rarely requires any training. I also love that I can send private links to group leaders so they can preview content from home to prepare their lessons. It's great how easy it is to use and deploy, and Playlister is always innovating by listening to client feedback. The setup process is quick and straightforward, just put an Apple TV in a classroom, deploy the Playlister app, add the new screen, and that's it. Playlister adds value by incorporating features like being able to show YouTube videos, a slide editor for creating and modifying content on the fly, and a video editor for changing start and stop points to trim videos. I highly recommend Playlister and appreciate that it just does what it's supposed to do, making rooms with Apple TVs a lot easier to use. **What do you dislike about Playlister?** Nothing comes to mind. **What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?** Playlister simplifies video distribution, eliminating our need for a complex Plex system. It's easy to set up and use, rarely requiring training. Playlister supports content previewing for leaders and includes features like YouTube integration, slide, and video editing, making it efficient and adaptable. ### 2. Playlister Made Ministry Media Easy and Enjoyable Again **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Laura E. | Kids Ministry Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2026 **What do you like best about Playlister?** 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! **What do you dislike about Playlister?** 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. **What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?** File storage and streaming. The ease of use for this product in my ministry just makes ministry that much better! I love that I can use it for more than lessons, as well. I plan to implement announcements and keep families updated with announcements while they check in. ### 3. While not perfect, Playlister solves some big problems and saves us a TON of time! **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2026 **What do you like best about Playlister?** 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. **What do you dislike about Playlister?** 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. **What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simplifies the curriculum process and Digital signage needs of our church into one location that can be easily loaded for Sunday. Easy for volunteers to learn how to control. Explanation takes about 30 seconds. Can be used by almost anyone and all levels of technological ability. ### 4. Effortless Use and Team Training, But Very High Costs Adds Up Quickly **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hayes H. | Tech Lead, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2025 **What do you like best about Playlister?** 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. **What do you dislike about Playlister?** 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. **What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have multiple rooms we present in that are fully run by volunteers. These rooms are also constantly updating and seeing changes in presentations. Playlister makes it easy for our whole team to access and add slides, as well as volunteers learning to present. It is nice to not have the complexity of a computer with displays, which can often lead to many troubleshooting issues. ### 5. 10/10 LOVE Web-Based Flexibility with Minor Printing Quirks **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rachel J. | Kids Ministry Elementary Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2025 **What do you like best about Playlister?** 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. **What do you dislike about Playlister?** 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. **What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?** Playlister organizes the types of presentations we have in our rooms and allows me tailor the storage of media/playlists for our specific uses. Playlister allows me to send our presentations to our leaders for advance planning and even allows me to share with families so they can have a front row seat to what we are doing in our children's ministry. ### 6. Effortless Setup and Outstanding Support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason S. | IT specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 30, 2025 **What do you like best about Playlister?** 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. **What do you dislike about Playlister?** I would like to see the ability to do more design work in the app. ie. add text over graphics. **What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?** Playlister is going to allow us to empower our volunteers to focus more on children's ministry and less on the technology used to show the lesson. ### 7. Effortless Content Sharing Significantly Helps Teaching **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Carla S. | Sunday School Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2025 **What do you like best about Playlister?** 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. **What do you dislike about Playlister?** It's sometimes hard to organize a lot of information/slides and easily see them to shuffle their order. **What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can seamlessly share content for all our Sunday school classes as we use the same curriculum for all classes. ### 8. User-Friendly Platform That Simplifies Lesson Planning and Classroom Use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Richard B. | CHildren's Minister, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2025 **What do you like best about Playlister?** 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! **What do you dislike about Playlister?** 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!" **What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?** We just learned about the "Create", and "Search" functions that have recently been added and those two functions are going to be game changers in the amount of time used to build content in to our ministry lessons. ### 9. Effortless Media Integration and Seamless Apple TV Experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christian L. | Kids Pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2025 **What do you like best about Playlister?** 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. **What do you dislike about Playlister?** 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. **What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps me during kids' church, our hangout room, and we soon will be using it in our welcome area. ### 10. We love playlister! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2025 **What do you like best about Playlister?** 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. **What do you dislike about Playlister?** 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! **What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?** Playlister is used for our Kids' ministry, and it lets us upload their content (slides, songs, videos) super easily and cheaply. Our previous system used computers, and was very frustrating for volunteers to use, but all our volunteers love it (especially the ones who are not very techy). ## Playlister Discussions - [How do I delete folders?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/51551-how-do-i-delete-folders) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Are you going to allow to be unlocked to allow additional apps to be added?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/are-you-going-to-allow-to-be-unlocked-to-allow-additional-apps-to-be-added) - 2 comments, 1 upvote - [Is it possible to use mp3 files in Playlister?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/16246-is-it-possible-to-use-mp3-files-in-playlister) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [What is a music playlist?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-a-music-playlist) - 2 comments - [How do I use playlister?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-i-use-playlister) - 2 comments - [View Playlister pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/playlister/reviews/playlister-review-4477329?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-21+18%3A34%3A25+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=16ad928d-c034-46da-b529-420fb490a162&secure%5Btoken%5D=9f8291ecf61537391626ea9cfad6a30e21d9b9a4aa13e35d043e86e57534d390&format=llm_user) ## Playlister Integrations - [Orange](https://www.g2.com/products/orange-orange/reviews) ## Playlister Features **Functionality** - Drag and Drop - Slide Customization - Digital Signage **Platform Basics** - Remotely Content Management - Content Scheduling - Multi-User Access **Sharing** - Slide Sharing - Multi-User **Platform Content** - Media Formats - Media Editor **Content** - Bible Verse - Music Integration - Content Importation **Platform Interoperability** - Hardware **Platform Additional Functionality** - Screen Grouping - Asset Management Integration - Network Reporting **Agentic AI - Digital Signage** - Cross-system Integration ## Top Playlister Alternatives - [ProPresenter](https://www.g2.com/products/renewed-vision-propresenter/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (78 reviews) - [EasyWorship](https://www.g2.com/products/easyworship/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (68 reviews) - [OptiSigns](https://www.g2.com/products/optisigns/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (3,663 reviews)
