It's just so intuitive and simple to operate... I worked for 40 odd years in commercial radio using all sorts of commercial radio operational gear... RCS etc... But this would have to be one of the best user-friendly systems I've ever seen frankly just like.

It is stable and robust ... and has a good, not too cluttered playout interface. Connectivity is easy to setup and has been well thought through. It's good to know I have invested in a software automation system that is continually being developed and active.

Easy to navigate and 99.9% solid performance.

Easy to use, professional and feature rich.

I am particularly impressed by the flexible category management; the ability for a single song to exist in multiple rotation categories is a rare and valuable feature that not many programs offer. The automation is very intelligent and well-structured. It provides a perfect balance between flexibility and reliability for a professional 'one-man show' setup. I also appreciate how it handles scheduling in an intuitive and smart way.

It's amazing value for money and perfect for anyone looking to start a radio station on a budget.

I like the ability to stream with more than one provider. I like the videos that explain what to do and how simple you make it for a beginner like me.

I like the [Remote Studio] option where all the audio lives on a single machine that all presenters can access securely. Live shows are simple for the presenters and voice tracking works well. Suits our purposes perfectly. Really well thought out software and the documentation is clear and thorough. Thanks :-)

The software works excellently, and I really enjoy using it. I especially appreciate that the free version is still so feature-rich.

Its simplicity and reliability are strong features. ... Without hesitation, I have, and will continue to, raise awareness of PiL to others.
