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

“UPshow helps us meet our need for deploying and managing interactive digital solutions efficiently and effectively.”

Dennis M.

Head of Software Engineering

“What I like most about UpShow is controlling our messages in clinics, the ease of updating our screens, its interactivity with Canva, being able to have a Dashboard and even view my playlist in action without having to be in clincis and tracking content in real-time.”

Linda B.

Marketing Communications Specialist

“Love the look of the branding, it exemplifies all the key components that are important to showcasing who we are what we’re about why it matters to our customers.”

Christine S.

Founder

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

“What I don't like about the service is that, for touch-sensitive screens, you essentially only have buttons (i.e. certain pre-defined regions) to navigate through slides of a predetermined playlist.”

Collin D.

Administrative Assistant

Cons

“the "tv" and "news" seem a little generic.”

Deva V.

Marketing Director

“The directions I was given were very vague or the communication was very lack-luster.”

Marissa W.

Sales & Marketing Director

“It only pulls from Instagram (and maybe Twitter), doesn't happen in real-time, and can be clunky.”

Patricia D.

Public Relations Coordinator II
