Customer Ratings & Reviews

Didn't know that I had to purchase apps to have this function correctly.

I think this could've been a great product if the company decided to either give free updates to an already expensive item or lower the total cost in place of the subscription fee. This doesn't go by whether you "have the means" to pay for the subscription or not, companies shouldn't be charging full price for half the product and then monthly or yearly for the rest of it. Also considering, besides Amazon, this is the only possible digital calendar out there, you would think they'd be just fine with how much they already make. This just seems greedy and bad business practice, would not recommend.

For the money you spend on this thing, it’s remarkably limited. Plus, to take advantage of basic things like “meal planning” or uploading pictures, you’ve got to buy into their subscription nonsense. Hardware and screen are poor quality compared to similarly priced tablet devices.

80% of the features advertised don’t work without paying for a subscription. Operation software is lagging and not integrated with any smart home such as google or Alexa.

Ok product. Most of what’s in here can be done on your phone.

This Skylight Calendar is one of those things you didn't know you needed, but you do. You can keep up with chores, grocery lists, events, meal planning. Finish a chore, mark it off, and bam, everyone's in the loop. Whenever you run out of something, just add it to the grocery list. No more forgetting that crucial ingredient for dinner. And with the meal planning, you can jot down what's for dinner each day. Super handy when you're staring into the fridge, trying to figure out what to cook. It's like having a digital hub for all things family-related. As far as the calendar, you can sync multiple calendars from multiple family members and any changes they make on their Google, Outlook, or whatever calendar app they use, will show up almost instantly. It's really useful for glancing at a day and seeing what all everyone has going on without having to ask everyone. Size-wise, it's just right. Not too big, not too small – the 15-inch touchscreen fits the sweet spot. Enough space to keep everything organized without being an eyesore on the wall. This thing feels solid too. The touchscreen is smooth and setting it up was a breeze. No tech headaches – just plug it in, follow a few steps, and you're good to go. If you're looking to make household organization a bit less stressful, this smart calendar is worth checking out. It's like our little family command center. Everything's in one place – chores, groceries, and meal plans. It keeps things organized without the clutter of post-it notes and random scribbles on the fridge. Honestly, it's become our go-to for keeping the household running smoothly. Such a simple idea, but it makes a big difference.

The Skylight frame is great to see all your events, chores, and lists in one place. You can sync your google calendar or other popular calendar applications right to the frame. You can also add to your calendar within the Skylight app. The Skylight mobile device application is mission critical to maximize the functionality of this device and you will want to read the permission pop ups closely to ensure your individual comfort level is maintained. Our children have been loving the chore chart. We add chores in the app and the kids can check them off on the frame as they complete the tasks. Each person can be assigned their own color on the calendar and chore list. My wife and I really enjoy the shared grocery list. We can both add items and see it on the app on our phone and on the skylight calendar. The one item to remind is that everyone who interacts with the frame needs to be using the mobile app.   We wanted to try all the frame’s features and added the Skylight subscription for the photo upload and preview feature. Another family member has the Skylight frame so we add photos to her frame and our frame easily. The interface in the app helps you to upload photos to the correct frame if you have access to multiple Skylight frames. Without the photo feature the calendar is a little boring as it just displays the calendar or chore chart, with weather on the wall all day.   The set up was very easy. The mounting bracket seems a little bulky. It is made of heavy metal but you screw it into plastic on the back of the frame. It is heavier than I anticipated and it needs to be very securely mounted to the wall with anchors.   A con of the frame is the app can be a little glitchy. I tried to delete some things on the app and it crashed. Sometimes after uploading photos it gets stuck on the loading page and crashes too. Once you close out of the app and open it again it seemed to work fine. The picture quality on the frame is respectable and the brightness of the screen also works in any lighting, making it usable in almost all rooms. This has helped us as a busy family see what each day looks like and organized with who needs to be where more efficiently. The addition of the chore chart and sharable lists are both nice added features which has benefited our family of 4.

I bought this as a gift and he is using it like crazy. He appreciates that it is connected to his phone so he only has to write it down in one place and it shows up on all of his calendars. Best gift I could have got him.

Got charged 50$ when i didnt even do the yearly thing still 2 weeks later no email receipt from it or anything just it being charged out of my account

Definitely wish it had more assessable. After I bought this, I found a different brand that lets you watch like TikTok and music and movies on. It should’ve got that one.

Half. Half of the features on the home screen are locked behind a paywall subscription. This is a substantially overpriced and laughably unimpressive tech. It seems really disingenuous to not mention the subscription.

Calendar sync is slow. Wish screen was IPS. But works well for the most part.

I wish the calender had extra widgets to show additional notes

Everything worked great for about 24 hours and then the WiFi disconnected. The WiFi will not reconnect and not reset following the instructions from support for the 3 long presses. Ironically enough, I cannot even hard reset the device because it tells me to check my network connection. From what I understand, this needs to connect to a 2.4G WiFi which is fine and I would gladly make that change if i could reset this worthless piece of junk

Basic calendar with any useful things to this calendar requires subscription. Unfortunately, you can get what this offer with no additional subscriptions in the echo 15 or 21 and additional services so it just doesn't make sense.

Nothing more than google calendar but bigger. Not worth the investment. Better off using Google calendar on an iPad.

We were really excited to get it, but was instantly disappointed with the limited functionality and lack of basic features.

I am sorry to reiterrate how dissappointed I am that nothing worked in this device other than the purchase itself. The communication with the manufacturer was no less. Although I have already told Best Buy, because of my transportation difficulties .. I'll call to make an appointment to return it. I know that it has to be within 60 day's .. so from October 17th. Thank you as always. No offense to Best Buy!

First time hearing of this company and products. This is amazing. I think every family can benefit from this. It’s more than just a calendar to our family, I feel it’s a family organizer, especially for large families. I now have everything in one place, calendar, chore chart, shopping list, and all types of lists, menu planning. There is also a photo plus plan but that costs extra to subsribe to so I don’t use it. This great and easy to use and navigate. The screen is large and perfect, actually similar size of one of my laptops. We debated about hanging on the wall but decided the base mount would work well since it’s very stable and our children are older. If they were younger, I might have felt better hanging it up to protect it. The kids actually like coming over and using this to keep track of their chores and to manage them. The color coded chores chart makes it take a quick scan to see what going on with each child’s list. And it’s quick and easy for each child to find their chore list and see what chores and how many are already completed. They have been doing their chores without me even reminding them since we have been using this. I hope it lasts. Some chores they do daily, weekly or a couple days a week. I can put time for each item or leave it for all day. I also added a time for homework for each child. I have control of setting it to whatever works for us. Another great feature is that I can schedule time for it to shut down at night and turn on in the morning. And you can see the current weather of where you are or where you are going on your schedule. Using a list to keep track of grocery items as we run low is very helpful. The different lists makes it easy to keep everything in one place and have access to all at home and the go in the app. We use it with Google and Yahoo calendars and with Android and Iphone for different family members.

Ive had this for about 4 months. Finally got to use it for about a month. It over heats and the screen gets lines through it. Might just have a defective one.
