Allen V
Pastor
5.0

Allen V.: My name's Allen. I'm a pastor at Reach Church in Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia. I'm the only staff member on, we have lots of volunteers working with us as well, and I would give Yodeck five stars because I love it. Before selecting Yodeck, I did as much research as I could on Raspberry Pi-based business displays and informational displays. I didn't end up going with any of them, because Yodeck seemed the best, and I have not regretted that decision for one second. I chose Yodeck right now, as we are very small. It gave a very low bar for entry. We purchased our own Raspberry Pi. I set that up myself. You can purchase that through them, but I did it myself, and for one monitor, there's no cost, and so it allowed us to get in and to see how it worked before committing to the future with them. It was extremely simple, and it was extremely streamlined. It was very easy and quick to do. I found it incredibly easy to set up. Now, I had some experience working with Raspberry Pi already, but if you purchase it from them, it's just plug and play. So a setup is extremely easy, and the web portal to change what your displays show and when is incredibly simple. It's some of the more simple stuff I've seen out there. Well, my recommendation would be to use it. It's exceptional. It's easy to use. It has never gone down on us. They have never had their servers down. It's easy to set up. It's simple to manage and operate, whether you're just a single monitor for free, which there's no better price than that, or whether you scale up and use multiple monitors. Just incredibly simple, easy to use, no fuss, and no extra burden. In fact, it takes the burden away.

Thom A
Art Lead
4.0

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.
