Thom: Hi. I'm Thom, and I am the Art Lead at Series Inc, and I give Play Digital a four. Okay, so we initially started with Play Digital because we needed something for the employee to communicate with our employees and have something for them to see internal communication. We chose Play Digital under recommendations from our other offices in France and Germany. Getting started with Play Digital was pretty simple. Any graphics that anyone wants to communicate with the rest of the office, I have them all funnel that to me, and the software is actually pretty easy to use. It can be a little clunky, but it's very easy to use and full of features. If you're thinking about getting Play Digital, I would say try it out. We tried it out initially. There was a trial period, and during our trial period we found out that it was something that worked for us, and we've been using it ever since.

Joe M.: Hi, my name is Joe. I am an independent music producer. I am reviewing NoviSign software and I would give it four to five stars. For more reviews like this, you can just click below. Well, I was actually using a Ping HD before I switched over to NoviSign. It just had a lot more features that seemed to work for me. Really, the reason I picked NoviSign the simplicity and the availability of pre-built templates. I didn't have to do my own work and create the templates. They look amazing and they just make it very simple to create a good looking digital screen. Well, the reason that I gave NoviSign four out of five stars is they are email only support and getting the NoviSign onto my LG webOS was a little bit tedious. Now that I've done it, it's over and I'm happy. But phone support could have been better. Well, I would certainly recommend NoviSign it just does so much for you. It's simple and easy to use. I use it for scheduling and for client welcoming and it makes for a really nice screen when you walk into a lobby.
