I'd give this more than 5 stars if I could! This calendar is great for so many different reasons, but I'll touch on the biggest ones:
1) Great user interface across both the device and the app. The sync calendar function is intuitive and easy, and you have the power to add events from the calendar itself, or if you're like me and forget things when you walk away, I prefer to do it through the app - either way is super easy.
2) It is bigger, yes, but also acts as a picture frame. You can upload images and let them play when the calendar function sleeps. We have this in our kitchen as a central location, and it is fun to see photos of our family on the screen as if it was a picture hanging on the wall.
Overall, 10/10 - great for organizing and also very stylish. Highly recommend!

It’s the best thing ever to have so that way everybody can see what’s going on with your schedule for the month. Everyone of my family has something going on at different times and it’s all on the counter so we can all see it and plan accordingly. The chores and routine charts are also great as well and gives the young ones motivation to actually clean and do what they need to do. It shows them rewards that they can cash stars in when they accumulate enough of them so they see value in the work that they do. Love the meal plan as well that it gives us and it’s so easy to import recipes and it gives you a nice bank of food and you can continue to add to that bank as well so you could just pull from it. Love the way you can upload pictures and have a slideshow plan while the calendar is in the background mode and not being used. Honestly, well worth the money I would get another one, but I don’t have a need for another one.

I received the 15 inch a few years ago and loved it, so when they released the bigger screen I jumped at the chance to get it! We use it for so much organization - monthly overview for all appointments, detailed weekly overview and chores for around the house, routines for our homeschool day, and meals. I also purchased the plus subscription and love having a constant rotation of pictures! It’s hanging in a central spot in our house so everyone can see/use it and it has seriously been a game changer. I am looking forward to seeing what new things they have coming up software wise - as they continue to update the OS and capabilities with some (truly awesome) customer suggestions, I think it’s just going to get better and better.

I was tired of constantly having to add stuff to the calendar on my phone then have to fill in my chalkboard calendar every month so I wanted a big digital calendar to make things easier. And this is exactly what I wanted! It’s helped me stay way more organized and I love how it play a loud chime 30 min before an event. The photo slideshow screensaver is nice also. My kids are more motivated to do their chores now that they see them on the skylight and can earn stars to get rewards. The price scared me off for months worried that it wasn’t worth it but it definitely is and there’s constant updates that adds new features which I think is awesome!

Unfortunately they need MUCH more work on the actual interface before I can call this a useful product. It's truly been it's best for my family as a photo frame. The app can only do so much. Chores are listed only in alphabetical order. You are forced to add a number or something in front of it to list in the order you need it to be in. You're unable to add chores or do much of anything on the desktop version. It just wasn't a great fit for us and after nearly 60 days, we've made the decision to return. It's got AMAZING potential... but it just missed the mark for what my family was looking for.

I am in love with my new Skylight calendar! I actually upgraded from my smaller 15" that I've had for over a year. A few things I love about my Skylight in general:
1. My kids have stopped asking me what they have going on tonight! All after school activities are loaded so the entire family is on the same page.
2. It is easy to sync and entire calendar, or just events from my work calendar. I connected my entire Gmail calendar to the calendar, but for my work calendar, if there is something I want to share, I just add an "attendee" which is the email address for the calendar. It's great!!
3. MAGIC IMPORT. I was nervous to try this, but wow does it work great. I snapped a photo of the monthly lunch menu from our school, sent the photo to the calendar email, and it seemlessly added every days lunch to the menu. Again, this way my kids have a one stop shop for lunch at school, what's going on over the weekend or that day.
4. Chore Chart! I'm reprogramed some fun new chores for the school year, and my kids seem to enjoy checking off their "to-do's." I like the new feature that also shows expired chores that haven't been checked off.
5. The SIZE!! Wow the CalMax is gorgeous and something all my friends ask about when they come over. I even upgraded to the membership, and I can turn it into a photo frame of my family (rotating or static) when it's in sleep mode. It's so fun and easy to add images, my kids love seeing it!
One thing I am going to do is hire an electrician or hire BBY Geek Squad to move my outlet behind the device! In looking closely at the power, it does need to be recessed to fit it. For now I will purchase a cable concealer online to make it look a little more clean!
I also chose to orient mine horiztonal, which i'm loving, but vertical is an option as well. You can see the full week in view this way really nicely.
Overall, this device is a game changer, and I'm SO grateful for the ease it's brought to my families life!!

We are loving our Skylight calendar! Install was very easy and it works perfectly in the space we chose for it. It took a little bit to figure out how to sync my calendars but once I had them set up it was a breeze. I love being able to snap a picture and email it to my calendar for events on flyers and such. The chose function has been a total game changer for our busy household. The kids love checking off their chores each day.

This unit has really helped me since my stroke and memory issues continue to haunt me. This helps me to organize my life as I can now document everything and keep track of important things on my calendar. The to do list is amazing. I wish that it functioned with Google Keep as that does a better job with chores. I need to alerts to help keep me going, but Google Calendar does a great job. I'm sure things will improve, but this foundation helps me a lot.

We are obsessed with the Skylight Calendar Max! Along with syncing all of our calendars to organize our crazy life, our toddler has been using the tasks to learn responsibility and earn rewards. He gets so excited to check things off and has made things (like bedtime) much easier for us! We absolutely love it. Worth every penny!

This was a gift, to a beautiful mom, daughter, and wife. She was so greatful as she previously utilized 3 calendars, and a chalkboard to organize her family's world. No longer does she need to do that, as all dates sync from her phone to the calendar.
