Kitcast Reviews

Simple, easy to use solution that works with AppleTV. Really nice graphics and nice, prepackaged templates.

The pricing model for a single location with a small number of AppleTV devices doesn’t make sense for a small business like we are. I would rather a single price for 1 to 5 devices within the same building. I want to be able to render a web page as one of the screens, for example our weekly class schedule which changes all the time. More dynamic content that could be fed from an API.

Kitcast reduces the effort needed for signage content management to quite low levels with its practical features.

Kitcast should definitely have a better pricing plan especially for yearly subscriptions.

Inexpensive. Easy to use. I liked that I got it up and running in the first 30 minutes.

Lacks some basic features (even within existing options). Weather was ALWAYS wrong. I didn't like the graphic design on the pre-made and it's impossible to edit basic color & layout changes. I could make my own template for the static slides but there's no way to upload animated slides. For example, I didn't like your clock, but there was no way to edit it so it's a feature that I never used. Also, the social media integrations lacked some basic functionality and they never worked. Yelp always showed the same two reviews, and there was no way to change or fix that. The Instagram integration was the best but that also lacked some basic settings so we could prioritize or block certain pics or types of pics. Plus, there's no Facebook integration at all.

The simplicity of the back end of the software is amazing! For anyone who is trying to use digital signage and manage it remotely,​ this is the solution you're looking for. Design an image, upload it and have it live within minutes. We could not ask for anything more!

The biggest con that is not really that big of a deal for us, is the lack of a vertical version. We are told it is under construction and we eagerly await its arrival! For now, we just design our signage vertically and miss out on all of the cool features that Kitcast! gives you like ​social media integration and more!

- Multiple locations/zones - Auto-updating when I add or update content - Wonderful customer service - Out-of-the-box simplicity

- Would love more content types - Ability to schedule a playlist for a specific date in the future, not just day of the week

Ease of use, quick to deploy. You'll have digital signage on your AppleTV running in less than five minutes.

The cost. The high cost per device can quickly add up.

Ease of use

Cost is too high. Especially for use on additional screens. Makes it hard for a small business to justify.

The software makes distribution to TVs easy with the Apple TV app. As long as you have wifi this makes the multi-tv broadcast solution really affective. The online system allows for images, videos, and some other features that make it pretty easy to use.

The app is sometimes buggy. We've had a few issues where the app doesn't load or it loads up media in a strange way. The ability to share media between tvs (while also having different ad line ups) is problematic.

Easy to use and set up. Likes the options available to create different templates and to duplicate them for other playlists.

I would love to be able to move out dated slides to another section. I do reuse slides but it could be months away. I don't like having lots of slides in my playlist that are paused, so I end up deleting them. So if I could move them or store them out of site that would be great!

The point that websites can be easily distributed as pages

Especially, support is very substantial.

I like how seamlessly the product works with Apple TV and how simple it is to navigate. Very straightforward installation process and very user friendly.

I have not run into any issues as of yet with his product.

I like the ease of online updating and the variety of templates available. I also like that there is a separate AppleTV application that pulls information directly from the Kitcast server. This is the only way that I can reliably connect an Apple TV device to our enterprise network.

At this point, nothing. It is working 100% for me.

Ease of use. Stable and just keeps running.

I like the content to download onto the apple tv so that it can be accessed with or without internet connection.

Love the professional look with minimal effort needed.

If you have more than 10 or more slides it gets a bit cumbersome to know which is which other than by name. The preview panel doesn't rotate through slides or images so without publishing you can't really see what it is going to look like. Also the create your own templates don't have many options, would be great to have more templates to chose from so users don't have to create from scratch.

Content scheduling was the only feature that worked as advertised.

This software seems to have been written by a junior developer with little experience. There isn't anything to like here.

Setup and implementation feel in-step with the "Apple" approach. It's easy to create beautiful animated signage.

The cost. Not sure how to resolve this while keeping development afloat, but the current cost per install is high for a small business.

This absolutely the best option I could find for multiple locations and TVs. It’s easy to use and it updates fairly fast.

It lacks some options but over all a good choice.

Ease of use. I can't wait to use this at all of our locations and change their media remotely.

So far I haven't found any. This does exactly what we need it to.

Very simple to setup and get started. Relatively self-explantory configuration of screen schedules. Comes with a pretty decent set of available default content feed and layouts.

I have a particular use case that doesn't work all that well. I'd like to rotate through the calendars for multiple conference rooms. It's easy enough to setup a screen for each room's calendar. But, there is no way to have the final screen include the name of the conference room along with the calendar! Not a huge deal, and by no means a deal breaker, but there are a few rough edges here and there like this that can become a little aggravating.

It's UX. It is VERY user friendly. Training people who are not good with technology is simple. You do not need to be an IT person to use it.

I want more overlay abilities. It makes branding with Kitcast difficult without the ability to use an overlay that shows who you are.

Easy to set up and get going. great way to loop videos and content at a tradeshow or in a lobby

I am admitedaly a power user and push things to its limits however I would like to see Better templating tools and presentation import support would be useful. powerpoint presentations as flattened losing all transitions and animations. Any video that is part of the presentations is also only displayed as an image. Presentations that are imported show artifacts due to compression. They also can not be separated to mix in other videos or media types.

Ease of use. Good graphics l. Like to use for info on campus.

A little pricey per screen, you must purchase an newer Apple TV to use

Ease of use with existing templates and features

Inability to customize animations and connect to my existing calendars

I like the ability to post slides to different TVs.

No larg preview of individual slides. Scheduling not user friendly.

It is an easy to use web based software that connects great via WiFi.

I wish they had more templates and options. The pricing for a single unit is high and I wish your subscription was able to be control multiple units for the same flat cost.
