Pros

“It offers reliable performance and provides useful scheduling features that help organize content efficiently. While there are some limitations in terms of advanced customization and media management, it still delivers a solid and dependable solution for digital signage needs.”

Dragan P.

IT Manager

“There is very little to complain about with Play Digital Signage. If I had to mention one area for improvement, it would be the ability to push updates to a screen even when it is powered off, so that the latest content is ready immediately when the screen is turned back on”

Albane L.

Food and beverage coordinator

“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.”

Cheri M.

Brand and Operations Manager

Pros

“It excels at display management and allows me to push content to various screens with minimal effort. Because I primarily use the platform to upload PowerPoint presentations, the limitations of the built-in design tools do not significantly impact my daily workflow.”

Sophia C.

Administrative Associate

“The ability to update screens in real time is especially beneficial for internal communications, ensuring that announcements and visuals are always timely and relevant.”

Jonathan P.

Internal Communications

“Offers many templates, apps (like YouTube, Canva), and supports various media, simplifying content creation.”

Cory R.

Ops

Cons

“Trial messaging overlays or strict playlist duration limits can suddenly pop up and disrupt the professionalism of your screens until you upgrade.”

Marco L.

Engineer

“Theres a big rectangle marked with a reminder that youre using a trial version, which makes it a bit harder to see the finished product on your screen.”

Marlon B.

Verwaltungsfachangestellter

“One downside of Play Digital Signage is that some of the limitations around the free plan are not very clear at first, which can be a bit frustrating when you start using it.”

michael G.

Owner

Cons

“I want to use a certain layout, but the one that scrolls across the bottom doesn't work well with the content (ESPN) that we wanted to use, so a lot of times it's an empty section or it's stuck on the screen and we have to clear it out.”

Catie C.

HR Generalist

“I was such a ScreenCloud devotee that we kept adding screens and eventually choked on the ongoing per-screen costs.”

Noel G.

Director of Communications and Marketing

“We have trouble with it on our Amazon Omni TVs and not allowing them to turn off (automated) and back on (automated). ”
