Playlister Reviews

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.

Nothing comes to mind.

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.

It is easy to use for staff and volunteers.

Too expensive for our church budget to buy for all our tv's.

We're using it in for preschool large group presentation on Sunday mornings rather than relying on a USB or wifi connection. Playllister has made it so easy and reliable for our volunteer to create her own playlist from home each week at her convivence and then present it on Sundays. We also use it on Wednesday nights and for our weekday preschool chapel twice a month. Everyone that uses it, really likes it.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's sometimes hard to organize a lot of information/slides and easily see them to shuffle their order.

We can seamlessly share content for all our Sunday school classes as we use the same curriculum for all classes.

Clean format - user friendly - organized! Amazing customer service.

I've honestly not come across anything that I dislike. I enjoy also using links from youtube to add to Playlister for my Elementary space.

I love that they added the ease and use of importing youtube.

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.

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.

It helps me during kids' church, our hangout room, and we soon will be using it in our welcome area.

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.

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.

Ease of use for Volunteers. Less time creating curriculum and playlists. If an item is forgotten, I can correct quickly and efficiently.

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.

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!

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).

Simplicity of uploading content and sending it to TVs.

If I could upload content directly by dragging and dropping content into playlists, instead of needing to go through the media download section.
