Playlister Overview

What is Playlister?

Playlister is the best church presentation software for kids ministry leaders to use. 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.

What do you like best about Playlister?

When we used Propresenter, I would have to save files into a Dropbox folder that was connected to the computer at church, then get to church early and download them into Playlister. If there were internet issues, we had no media for the day. Once downloaded, we had to get it into Propresenter, a whole different process.

With Playlister, everything happens at home. Need to add a file at the last minute - it takes seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

UX is a bit clunky. I have trouble finding files occassionally. I'd love to be able to bulk move. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're able to teach our leaders to use it quickly without in depth training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Playlister?

I love that it makes large group and small group settings customizable in different settings. It's easy. If one of my smaller campuses needs different worship songs, or likes to do their program in a different order, Playlister makes that not only feasible but flawless. We have over 70 screens in use for Playlister on the weekends, and in 3 years, we have only had 2 minor issues. Neither of them were Playlister's fault. That is quite simply unheard of in ministry. Our playlister coordinator implements things easily, and since we use it upwards of 10x a week, it's important that multiple large files on the same screen can be integrated easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

This sounds like a copout, but I can't think of anything I don't like. I think the team at Playlister should be given lots of jewels for their crown in heaven. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?

Playlister solves the problem of multiple ministries needing to use the same tvs and apple tv's at the same time-- eventually, your apple tv runs out of space. And when you are downloading multiple large files per ministry per week (we have over 70 screens), this becomes maddening to remove files and add new ones every week. With Playlister, we can do it all from one computer and send all of the files to the right computers for the right service, and then time those same files to disappear when the service is done. Straight magic. I don't need crazy large apple tv setups anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Playlister?

It is simple to use! Anyone in an organization could figure out how to use it, whether they use is as a manager online or just on the AppleTV. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

We had some issues with JPEG and PNG image quality, but customer support helped us troubleshoot how to increase quality by using MP4. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?

A more customizable form of digital signage for our building. What we used to use was arduous, ugly, and ran into several issues. We appreciate how simple it is to upload your own media, work ahead with different playlists, and also to just operate with a simple AppleTV app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hardware is limited to a single output, which doesn't work with traditional confidence monitors but we've trained our volunteers to expect this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Playlister?

Ease of use! My volunteers aren't very comfortable with technology, so being able to set everything up for them to just use a TV remote has made things easier for everyone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

Unable to change the primary device. we have multiple Apple TVs and it would be nice to just change the license seat instead of having to move the device. We won't need to use multiple at the same time but will use it in different rooms on different days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sunday school presentation. Before we were running a computer for powerpoint with lots of hands on downloading and updating weekly. This has freed me up on Sunday because I have prepped the lessons a month in advance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Playlister?

I love how collaborative and how easy Playlister is to navigate. I can pick up a project or my colleagues can pick up a project. It's amazing. I also love that it pretty much is drag and drop to create a playlist. Perfectly easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

I will say Playlister can improve visually. Maybe it's just because I am rather new but sometimes the content I am dragging and dropping can be small. I am a visual person and sometimes that is how things are labelled in my head - via a picture! I'd love it if the size of content could be increased when they are on the side bar.

Easily screencasting videos, pictures, etc. in multiple rooms across multiple audiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use and getting information to my leaders seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

When moving or picking items in playlists, it pops up the preview window too quickly getting on the way of seeing where I'm trying to drop the file. This is the only thing I've found I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?

All problems of file uploads, sharing with leaders, getting media to classrooms, etc etc etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Playlister?

Playlister makes it easy to create playlists tailored to each week's lesson. Orange already populates their content into the interface, which allows me to task my volunteers with routinely updating the content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playlister?

I wish I could utilize Playlister on a desktop in addition to Apple TVs. I also wish I could synchronize my Apple TVs to play a specific playlist simultaneously. The annual price per screen is egregious for the service that it's offering. We ended up switching to private playlists on Youtube Premium instead. The annual Youtbe Premium membership is abotu 1/3 cheaper than one annual screen license on Playlister and can easily be streamed on Apple TVs in our classrooms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Playlister solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're able to stream our content in every classroom. Having the Orange content prepopulate into Playlister increases our productivity and business performance in half the time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chris Holland of Playlister

Thank you for sharing this feedback!

We'd love to learn more about your situation and see what can be done to improve how the Apple TVs receive the correct content.

Could you email "hello[at]playlister.app" with the subject line "Inconsistent service" so we can continue this discussion?
