Yodeck Reviews

Easy to use and great selection of apps available, reasonable pricing.

Some aspects of the layout design feature could be a bit more expanded. Why am I not able to underline text without having to add a shape?

I have been using Yodeck for a few weeks now. It was purchased for an announcements board for our church and so far it has been great and works great with our Samsung The Frame display. The scheduling of on/off is a great tool for us as well as the content display schedules.

I do not know. I haven't got that far yet. So far no complaints.

It's pretty versatile. There are a lot of options. We use images in a playlist, and another playlist that switches between a calendar and a schedule that come from our church management system, Breeze. We also have a ticker of RSS feeds from the National Weather Service, local government, our church's blog, and news from both our denominations. This keeps the information fresh without my having to continually update it.

Versatility competes with simplicity. This is true for any type of project.

It can take a while to grasp all the different objects and how they go together. Apps are created for each item on the screen, and they go in layouts or playlists. Layouts can go in playlists or playlists in layouts, but not both. A screen can have a layout or a playlist, and can have a schedule too. The schedule can also have a layout or a playlist.

My other annoyance is that the dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format. I personally prefer yyyy/mm/dd format (most significant to least) but am used to mm/dd/yyyy. I don't see a way to change this. Also, it's hard to difficult time in a date/time field.

Easy for regular users to update content, SSO integration, ability to upload HTML files for custom apps, doesn't need 24/7 network connection, free web player option, works on existing hardware, paid subscription comes with a free raspberry pi that can be preconfigured with network info & default content

Nothing so far, it's just been doing what I tell it to do

At Grove Studios, we absolutely love Yodeck's remote management capabilities. Running 24/7 self-service music studios across multiple locations means we can't always have staff on-site, but Yodeck lets us update content, schedules, and important information from anywhere. The playlist functionality has been perfect for showcasing our member spotlights, upcoming events, and membership packages.

The ease of use is outstanding - even our less tech-savvy team members picked it up quickly. Setting up new displays as we've expanded has been plug-and-play simple. We especially appreciate the scheduling features that let us program content weeks in advance, which is crucial during busy recording seasons when we're focused on supporting our musicians.

Their reliability has been rock-solid, which is essential for our operation where screens need to display critical information at all hours. The system has experienced minimal downtime in the years we've been using it.

We haven't found any other than the learning curve to use all the awesome features!

Yodeck is a really easy software to setup with tons of layout customization options and prebuilt templates. My favorite part is the layout builder that allows you to section off the screen how you want.

I wish the apps had a little more customization. It definitely gets the job done, but I feel a bit limited in how I can display certain apps like weather and news.

It was very easy to implement and it provided security at all levels rather than having it behind a paywall like so many other companies. That tells me that they take security seriously rather than as a financial tool.

It can be a bit busy, but I'm an IT guy whereas the marketing people absolutely love it.

The thing I like the most of Yodeck is how easy it is to use and to try it out with no hidden payments or requirements.

A con I found, is that there are several features that are not available on other OS that the software supports.

Yodeck is way ahead of its time and very underrated in terms of its package and offerings. It allows your imagination to grow with the many possibilities with its functionality and publication system. The software is reliable easy to understand and comes at a fair price for commercial uses or personal. Multi screen PIP (picture in picture) is what i liked the most. Controlling the screen is what we want and Yodeck delivers just that brilliantly.

Hard to say. Maybe the pricing can be reviewed as we are living in a very competitive age with very advance tech out the. For example there is hologram tech that has been on the market of digital signage for quiet some time.

What I appreciate most about Yodeck is: Yodeck provides comprehensive resources that help us understand and make the most of the platform with Knowledge articles and videos. Yodeck offers a great value for the features we actually need, without unnecessary expenses. The tool also meets our requirements for security and compliance, ensuring our content is protected. Yodeck works seamlessly on Raspberry Pi, allowing us to leverage existing hardware.

Occasionally, there can be delays of up to 10 minutes for content changes to take effect, which can be frustrating when we need real-time updates.

Yodeck is incredibly easy to use and implement. Whether you bring your own or purchase one of their RPi devices, managing multiple digital signage devices is very easy. The dashboard allows you to manage the media being presented in a sleek and easily maneuverable dashboard.

It's unfortunate that some apps are only compatible with their own devices, I'm not sure I quite understand why, but that is a downside that let to me not being able to test one of our app integrations until we purchased one of their players.

Very easy to set up and get users trained, and the cost fit our budgetary constraints. We especially with the hardware was included in the cost for each display.

Google Slides integration could have been more seamless, but we were easily able to shift to different content. We would also like the ability to display the slideshow on our website.

I appreciate Yodeck's straightforward and user-friendly interface, which makes managing digital signage across multiple locations incredibly simple. The drag-and-drop functionality, combined with customizable templates, allows our team to create and update content quickly without needing specialized design skills. Additionally, the remote management features are fantastic, especially when making instant updates, even across global time zones. The platform's reliability and support team have also made it a smooth experience to implement and run our digital displays. Yodeck has streamlined our signage process and added real value to our business.

I'm using it to run a Google Doc presentation; I noticed that even slides that I set as "skipped' in Google are being shown.

It's ease of setup. I am working with 15 churches that are hours away from me but the Yo Deck support documents and videos are perfect and help the churches so that I don't have to.

Probably the price? Although it is cheaper than some others that are similar. Because it's for small churches, they don't have big budgets so it's a fight to convince them to pay the yearly fee.

What I appreciated most about YouDeck was its exceptional versatility and user-friendly interface, allowing for effortless customization of designs and layouts tailored to each event's unique requirements.

One area where YouDeck could improve is in providing more advanced customization options for users who require highly specific design elements or functionalities.

Yodeck offers a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to create and manage digital signage content. Even without prior experience, I found it simple to navigate and set up my displays.

Although Yodeck provides a solid set of design tools, some advanced design features, such as intricate animations or complex transitions, could enhance the creative possibilities for content creation.

Yodeck allows me to schedule digital signage and local video content with ease. For the last two years, I have prepopulated content schedules for a community in-house digital signage system and cable channel.

Larger files might take longer to encode, but with Vimeo and YouTube integration, large videos play as if they were directly uploaded! We utilize the Vimeo and YouTube features on a regular basis.
