## Reviews

### "The best app to show videos on tv" — 5.0/5

> **Alex** | *14 March 2026* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The platform is very easy to use and quick to set up. I really like how simple it is to manage screens remotely and upload content like videos and images. The interface is clean and intuitive, and it works very reliably on Android TV devices. It’s a great solution for digital signage without needing complicated hardware or technical knowledge.
> 
> **Cons**: Honestly, there isn’t much to dislike. Everything works smoothly. If anything, it would be nice to see even more customization options in the future, but overall the platform already covers everything I need.
> 
> My overall experience has been excellent. The setup process was fast and straightforward, and the system works reliably for displaying content on screens. Managing playlists and updating content remotely saves a lot of time. It’s a very practical and professional solution for anyone who needs digital signage.

### "Simple, reliable and easy to manage" — 5.0/5

> **Sergio** | *1 April 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use and configure, with a lot of features. Everything can be managed from a web dashboard and can update screens from everywhere.
> 
> **Cons**: It has basic design tool with limited advance customization and cost add up if you manage many displays. Other than that, still very powerful.
> 
> User friendly, easy to learn and quick to get started with. Even if you you're not a designer or technical.

### "Play Digital Signage is still a great way to communicate with the company" — 4.0/5

> **Thom** | *8 April 2025* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The product has been improved since we first started using it. The user interface is great and we can upload multiple types of media which is great because more than one team member contributes and we all don't upload the same type of media.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish that once we have uploaded media, we could download the media we uploaded... not a big deal really, it would just be a convenience.
> 
> Still an awesome experience and the product is getting better with each update.

### "Give Play a try\!" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *22 December 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is beyond simple to set up. I had a slide deck up and running eithin minutes\! Even touchscreen options were easy to figure out and program.
> 
> **Cons**: Integration with platforms like Canva could be improved. The design features within the app sometimes seem a bit clunky and of there was a way to have links designed within the Canva environment work when imported into Play, that would improve iser experience.
> 
> Overall, as an organization just starting out with digital signage, Play is a great starting point. Give it a try\!

### "Easy to use" — 5.0/5

> **Tommy** | *15 March 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The layout is easy to use and makes it quick to learn. The software has lots of options for a variation of businesses.
> 
> **Cons**: Wish that the animations and transitions had more options and that you could select multiple text at once to change size, font and color. I also wish you could set up individual slide shows for an image.
