### "Simple and Sufficient"

August 3, 2026

5.0

Overall, Play Digital Signage is a great product! At my church and I are adjusting to becoming available to people, not just in the brick and mortar, but we're trying to make ourselves available to any and everyone near and wide that would like to receive the word of our Lord and Savior. We actually started with Yo Deck, but that software was extremely confusing and not very user friendly. Once we found Play Digital, it was just a smooth process and straightforward. Also, being that we're a small church, we don't need a many screens, so the fact that we can receive one free screen is a great option for us, and we're very thankful. I would recommend this software to anyone that is a novice to this kind of thing, and wants a user friendly platform to use.

Pros

I really enjoy the simplicity of the website. There aren't confusing steps, and you can keep slides in your history for later use, or to archive. When creating the slides, there are templates that you can use, but you can also customize the slides to your own template. This really sealed the deal for us because not being able to customize a slide was our biggest issue.

Cons

Honestly, I haven't really found anything of much significance to make me NOT like the software. I guess if I had to nit pick, I would say that there should be an option to use it on my phone. Which, there may be an option for that already, I'm not sure.

### "Play Digital Signage transition and experience"

July 17, 2026

5.0

Play Digital Signane has been a smooth transition for us, and it's been a user-friendly and reliable platform.

Pros

I really like that Play Digital Signage is very easy to learn and manage. The live chat support is a great feature as well as the video tutorials, providing quick help whenever you need it. Their team was also kind, responsive, and helpful throughout our transition process, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

Cons

There are no cons to report at this time as our experience has been a very smooth, stress-free, and positive experience.

### "Great CMS for a myriad if sign types and sizes."

June 15, 2026

3.0

Overall, Play is simple and easy to use. It is very versatile for many different types of signs. Great value for people like me with small signs and not huge budgets.

Pros

I loved how Play is so versitile that it will work with my LED sign. Most CMS are designed for just interior LCD HD TVs to be used as signages. Play lets me configure my sign to it's exact unique pixel size.

Cons

Everytime I make a playlist I have to define the aspect ratio of my sign. My sign is unique and it should just offer that size as it is already associated to my account. I also don't like that play does not automatically read the length of a video I import. If my video is longer or shorter than the default hold time it will cut the video off or loop it. So I have to set a custom hold time. I wish it could just read the video length and set that as the hold time.

Hi Chris, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Just a quick clarification on the video duration: Play has automatically detected the length of uploaded videos and set the slide duration to match for many years. When you add a video, the slide length should update automatically to the video’s duration. If you experienced different behaviour, please feel free to reach out via live chat and we’ll be happy to look into it with you. You can also find more details here: https://playsignage.com/support/video/ Thanks again for the feedback. Best regards, Lars Normark Andersen Play Digital Signage

### "Excellent Digital Signage Platform with Outstanding Ease of Use"

June 17, 2026

5.0

Our experience with Play Digital Signage has been outstanding. The platform is reliable, easy to navigate, and has helped us keep our displays updated with minimal effort. Uploading content is quick, scheduling is straightforward, and managing screens remotely saves a significant amount of time. The software has been stable, professional, and an excellent solution for our digital signage needs. We highly recommend it to any organization looking for a dependable and user-friendly signage platform.

Pros

Play Digital Signage is extremely easy to use and offers excellent value for the money. The platform makes it simple to upload videos, images, and promotional content while managing multiple displays from a single dashboard. The interface is intuitive, reliable, and perfect for businesses that need professional digital signage without a complicated setup. Customer support has also been responsive and helpful whenever assistance was needed.

Cons

There is very little to dislike about the platform. While there is always room for additional customization features, Play Digital Signage already provides everything needed to manage displays efficiently. Any new enhancements would simply make an already excellent product even better.

### "Great Digital Signage Solution for Our Business"

September 1, 2026

5.0

My overall experience has been very positive. Play Digital Signage is easy to set up, simple to manage, and makes updating content on our displays quick and convenient. It has been reliable and saves me time compared with trying to manage everything manually. I would definitely recommend it to other businesses looking for an easy-to-use digital signage solution.

Pros

Play Digital Signage is very easy to use and makes managing our displays simple. I like being able to update content quickly without having to be very technical. The interface is straightforward, reliable, and gives us the flexibility to change what is showing on our screens whenever we need to.

Cons

There really isn't much I dislike about it. I would like to see even more templates and customization options added over time, but overall the software does what I need it to do and works well.

### "Awesome Product!"

July 20, 2026

5.0

Overall my experience with Play Digital Signage has been extremely positive. The platform is simple to use yet still has a ton of features and the customer support is responsive and helpful.

Pros

The integration with Canva is top notch, I have not found another digital signage program that properly follows the smart embed link that keeps the transitions and animations intact when displaying to a kiosk.

Cons

I haven't been using the application long, and most of the overall experience has been positive. I haven't run into many bugs or issues yet.

Refresh rate is fast! Uploading is super quick! Play Digital is the most user-friendly sign software we have ever used!

Pros

Best thing I like about Play Digital Signage is the user friendly and simplistic software interaction.

Cons

I can't say there is one thing I don't like about Play Digital Signage. Maybe a less expensive creative engine to produce content for slides.

### "Reliable, easy to manage, and great value for IT teams"

July 26, 2026

5.0

We've been using Play Digital Signage to manage display and it's held up well. It's easy to administer, reliable day to day, and the value for the price has been strong. Support has been responsive when we've needed help, and the platform has required minimal ongoing maintenance from our team. It's a solid choice for organizations that want digital signage that just works without a steep learning curve.

Pros

Play Digital Signage is refreshingly simple to deploy and manage across multiple displays. The content scheduling and playlist tools make it easy to push updates without touching each screen individually, which is a huge time saver for a small IT team. The template library covers most of our common use cases out of the box, so we're not starting from scratch every time we need a new layout. Display management is centralized and intuitive, and we haven't run into any major bugs or stability issues since rollout.

Cons

A few more advanced customization options would be nice, particularly around layout flexibility for more complex multi-zone displays. Also would be good to have support for the temp sensor and light sensor in our sign.

### "User friendly with a little room for improvement"

July 29, 2026

4.0

I have been using Play for almost a month without any issues. The customer service people were very responsive and able to answer all my questions quickly. The service is reliable and runs very smoothly.

Pros

The site is quite user friendly. I was able to add content quickly and easily to create a playlist in a just a couple minutes. Our sign is running smoothly with no issues and the images look even better than the program we had used in the past for our sign.

Cons

Like any new program, there is always a slight learning curve as you figure out how to correctly use the system. It would be nice if I could have my custom screen size be saved so I don't have to input the aspect ratio under advanced settings every time I make a new playlist and if the playlist layouts could be applied to the custom aspect ratios.

### "Multi Screens, multiple slide shows"

August 20, 2026

4.0

Over all, I find this tool valuable for my business. It does what I need it to do and I like how I am using it in my business. I use the front as a menu board and the back and outdoor tvs as advertising.

Pros

It is easy to upload videos into the assets. once you get the screens going very simple to use. i like that you can use canva etc to create your videos and upload. I like that I can play different things on different screens.

Cons

I find I have to dink around a bit to get things going. I don't always find it just intuitive on how to use. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes easier. Customer service is lacking.

### "Intuitive, highly customizable, and unbeatable value for money!"

March 18, 2026

5.0

After testing several mainstream digital signage platforms that turned out to be clunky and overpriced, discovering PlaySignage was a breath of fresh air. It perfectly fits my exact needs for screen management. It’s powerful, easy to navigate, and offers incredibly rich features without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

Pros

The setup is incredibly straightforward, and the design interface is highly intuitive. Unlike many mainstream options that feel outdated and complicated, PlaySignage handles non-standard aspect ratios effortlessly, which is perfect for my large custom displays. My absolute favorite feature is the HTML widget support—it opens up infinite possibilities. I can easily embed custom HTML news tickers, clocks, and data boards instead of being restricted to built-in templates. On top of that, the pricing is absolutely mind-blowing. The fact that you can get a screen for free is amazing, and their paid plans are surprisingly affordable. I am already planning to get licenses for a few more screens!

Cons

The only minor drawback I've encountered is with the HTML widget. Currently, it seems we cannot layer an HTML element over other elements on the page (likely due to performance considerations). It would be fantastic if they could unlock this layering capability in future updates, as it would make the design process even more flexible.

### "A Successful Move to Play Digital Signage"

June 17, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Play Digital Signage has been very positive. We migrated from another digital signage platform, and the transition process was smooth and well-supported. The system has been easy to learn, reliable, and simple to manage for our single display. Content updates are straightforward, and the platform has met our needs without any major issues. It has been a solid solution that made the switch from our previous system easier than expected.

Pros

What I liked most about Play Digital Signage was how straightforward the migration process was from our previous platform. Even though we only manage a single display, the transition was smooth, and the system was easy to learn and use. Updating content is simple, and the platform has been reliable for our day-to-day needs. Overall, it made moving from our old system much easier than expected.

Cons

I did not encounter any major issues with Play Digital Signage. The only challenge was the normal learning curve that comes with migrating from a different platform, but the transition was smooth overall and any questions we had were quickly resolved.

### "Great service - worth your time!"

April 3, 2026

5.0

One of the biggest advantages for us has been cost. Compared to other platforms we looked at, Play is very affordable without feeling limited or “stripped down.” It’s a strong value for what you get. It’s also been very reliable and flexible. Whether we’re pushing announcements, event info, or custom content, everything runs smoothly and updates quickly. Overall, it’s been a dependable, user-friendly solution that just works.

Pros

We’ve had a great experience with Play Digital Signage. It strikes a really nice balance between simplicity and capability — it’s incredibly easy to set up and manage, even for a small team, but still offers the features we need to run dynamic, engaging displays.

Cons

I wish there were more plugins and support for additional data sources or data pulls from external databases.

### "Great Software"

June 24, 2026

5.0

Great experience! I had been looking for software like this for home use. I wanted something fast, user-friendly, and easy to set up for my guest room. I previously used Movie Maker, but having to wait for projects to render was frustrating. I especially love the feature that allows me to store slides for future use, which makes updating and reusing content much more convenient.

Pros

I appreciated how easy the platform was to navigate. The tutorials were clear and included helpful links that took me directly to the appropriate pages and resources.

Cons

My experience has been positive so far, with no complaints.I have only been using the software for about a week, so it's still a bit early to identify any drawbacks. I'll continue testing it and evaluating its features over time to see if any issues or limitations arise.

### "Perfect for a Simple Storefront Display"

May 26, 2026

5.0

Play Digital Signage is solving the problem of managing a professional storefront display in a very simple and affordable way. We needed a solution to show our visuals, promote our construction agency, and keep the screen running without using a complicated or expensive digital signage provider. With Play Digital Signage, I can create the content on Canva, upload it, organize it in a playlist, and display it on our Samsung OM46B window screen very easily. For our current one-screen setup, it gives us a simple and free solution that is enough for our needs. It saves us money, time, and technical complexity. Instead of paying a provider every month, we can manage the display ourselves and keep our storefront looking professional.

Pros

What I like best about Play Digital Signage is how simple and intuitive it is to set up, even without technical knowledge. I use it for a Samsung OM46B window display in our construction agency, and I was able to create my visuals on Canva, upload them, build a playlist, and schedule the screen very quickly. The interface is clear, the playlist system is easy to understand, and the screen updates work smoothly. I also liked how easy it was to use existing content from Canva, without having to redesign everything inside the platform. For a small business with one display, it is a very cost-effective solution compared to more complex digital signage systems. The onboarding was straightforward, and I did not need much support to get the screen running. It helped us create a professional-looking storefront display without needing an expensive provider or a complicated s

Cons

There is not much I dislike so far, especially because I am using it for a simple one-screen setup. The only downside I noticed is with the integrated weather widget: in my case, the weather information was not always accurate for my local area, so I preferred not to rely on it for the storefront display. Also, some advanced options can take a little time to understand at the beginning, especially when combining Canva visuals, videos, schedules, and external content. However, once the screen, playlist, and schedule are configured, the system works well for my needs.

### "Professional Grade Platform with Novice Friendly Interface"

December 11, 2025

5.0

The ability to create professional style media with a novice friendly software can not be overstated. Play Digital Signage has provided a platform to create interactive displays as well as static information slides.

Pros

The online interface and software is incredibly user friendly. Setting up everything from time based revolving slides to touch screen interactive displays took minutes and the end product is professional in appearance. The greatest asset I constantly used was the tutorial videos. Every feature of the software has a "how to use" style video that is short and precise to how to use the feature! If you have questions not answered with the videos you can turn to their chat function. Fast, friendly and extremely dedicated staff will provide support to using the software. As someone with almost no professional training into using advanced media creating software I felt like a pro using Play Digital Signage!

Cons

The only difficulty I experienced when using this software was initially assigning content to specific monitors. At first it was a little tricky figuring out which monitor and content were linked but after a few test runs all difficulty was eliminated.

### "Play save my life hahaha"

December 17, 2025

5.0

I'm being completely honest in my review; I have no complaints about Play. The experience is great, the settings are straightforward, and the playlists have plenty of customization options, something YoDeck doesn't offer. This caught my attention, and I'm even considering a plan for other screens in other businesses!

Pros

I really liked your functional player, because I came from another digital signage platform that started having problems with its player and the support couldn't solve my problem, in that case YoDeck, so I started the migration and found Play, a simple and straightforward interface, without much fuss, great features, and the way the media is allocated is great for me, I recommend it to everyone!!!

Cons

The player's Portuguese translation has some errors, but nothing that hinders functionality. For example, there's an option to "restart the player at a specific time." I thought it was just the player itself, but it ends up restarting the machine where the player is installed. And since I set it to restart at night, I had to keep logging into my Windows user account until I discovered that this option was causing the problem, haha.

### "Easy and Reliable Digital Signage Management"

August 12, 2026

4.0

My overall experience with PlaySignage has been very positive. We use it to manage multiple digital signage screens, and it has made maintaining and updating our displays much easier. I can make changes remotely, schedule different content, and keep everything consistent without having to physically interact with each screen. It has been reliable and does exactly what we need it to do.

Pros

Easy to set up and manage, even across multiple screens. The interface is straightforward, content updates are quick, and being able to remotely manage and schedule everything from one place is a huge time saver. It has also been very reliable for day-to-day use.

Cons

There can be a little bit of a learning curve when first getting into some of the more advanced layout and scheduling options. Some parts of the interface could also be a little more intuitive, but once everything is set up, it works well.

February 2, 2026

5.0

Overall experience has been positive. The ability to change messaging any time I come up with a new idea is exactly what I was looking for.

Pros

I just started using Play Signage in my laundromat to help cross promote the various services we offer. Printed signs were costly and any change in messaging meant additional expenses. Play was easy to set up and navigate from uploading content to publishing the playlist. I have also been able to add local weather info next to my content, and displayed content can be changed at any time. Having the screens go dark while the store is closed removes the need for my staff to turn the tv on and off. The ability to add screens at a fixed price helps keep the initial costs low as we fine tune our messaging and add screens. Their customer service has been fantastic. Responses to questions via chat are almost always in real time.

Cons

So far we haven't encountered any bugs, and any issues we've experienced have been explained and answered.

I've tried a number of solutions. Play Digital Signage is the best balance of ease of use and power that I've found.

Pros

Easy to set up and use. Simple to maintain many signs, both with the same or with different content. Reasonable price. Wide support for devices.

Cons

Creating complex signage is, well, complex. My staff struggled to create the sorts of signage that they imagined, and see elsewhere.

Hi Tim, Thanks for the great review. Can you elaborate on: "Creating complex signage is, well, complex. My staff struggled to create the sorts of signage that they imagined, and see elsewhere.", I'd love to hear what they were trying to accomplish and figure out why it became complicated. Regards Lars

### "The Best Digital Signage Solution for Retail — Simple, Reliable, and Great Value"

April 29, 2026

5.0

We use Play Digital Signage to manage advertising displays across our retail location, and it has consistently exceeded our expectations. The combination of an easy-to-use dashboard, stable performance, rich content features, and competitive pricing makes it the clear choice for any business looking to get into digital signage without a steep learning curve or high costs. Highly recommended.

Pros

Play Digital Signage has been a game-changer for our retail store. The interface is incredibly intuitive — we were up and running within minutes, with no technical background needed. The content management tools are surprisingly powerful: scheduling, playlists, and media support all work seamlessly. For the price, it's hard to find anything comparable on the market. The platform is also rock-solid in terms of reliability — our screens have been running without interruptions for months.

Cons

Some more advanced design customization options would be welcome — while the existing templates are solid, having more flexibility in layout building would be a nice addition. This is a minor point, however, and does not significantly impact day-to-day use.

### "Play Signage - reliable and easy to run"

July 7, 2026

5.0

It works really well and we're very satisfied with it. Reliability has been excellent, updates push without issue, and the whole team finds it simple to use every day.

Pros

It supports every platform you could want and the setup is very easy. We had all of our screens up and running within minutes with no technical issues at all.

Cons

The cost per screen. It adds up fast on a larger deployment, and a cheaper tier for smaller setups would make it an easier decision to justify to management.

### "Perfect as an interactive, easily updatable signpost"

February 3, 2026

4.0

In general, it has everything we were looking for, as it meets our basic needs. However, some additional features like the ones mentioned would be a nice upgrade.

Pros

We really like how intuitive the Digital Signage software is to use. Although there are many possibilities for plug-ins, we are also satisfied with simply creating slides in PowerPoint and inserting them as exported images. The software is very easy to use, and publishing is instantaneous and straightforward.

Cons

We find the software limited in terms of the possibilities it offers for touch screens. It would be useful to be able to slide through slides or change the displayed content on the screen itself using gesture control. As we use the screen as a signpost, a search function to find certain rooms/people would also be a valuable addition. It would also be useful to be able to set a custom duration for when the client app reopens on the device after another app has been used. This would allow one to use the tablet to show presentations, for example, and ensure that the signpost is displayed again after xx minutes.
