Skylight Frame

This is the 2nd frame I have purchased. Both were gifts for my daughters. My daughters are busy moms, busy professionals, they requested the frame as birthday gifts, and they love them.
This is a game changer. We previously used several Google calendars, synched several sports calendars, and used a ton of color coding. There was no device that displayed this well digitally so we printed, and re-printed, and reprinted again each week to keep the latest on the fridge. This display give us the latest and greatest for all four of our family members and eliminates any possibility we've missed something. The bonus has been that our kids (8 and 10) enjoy checking off their chores every day and I have been able to abandon the mess of post-its and reminders by adopting the chores list for me and my husband as well. The investment is well worth it!
I love it so much. It has made my life drastically easier. For someone who had ADHD and a crazy schedule with family events and activities, this will change your day to day life. My only complaint is that you should be able to snap a photo/screenshot of a recipe and have it automatically put in the meals calendar. If it works for screenshots of calendar events, it should be a function for meal planning. If the Skylight could do that, I would pay for the service for the rest of my life. Meal planning is so time consuming but it is also so necessary and that would really be a total game changer. This is my only negative comment about our Skylight! Love it and I hope they add that function to the Plus membership.
I wish the sleep mode had more time frames to sleep or there was a quick 1 press button to put to sleep. The chores are organized alphabetically and I would prefer by order of importance to me.
It’s not as easy to sync our calendars as we had hoped. We are still getting used to trying different features, but may end up returning it. We’ll see what happens in the next couple of weeks.
This calendar has been life changing for this busy mom. I was constantly being asked when things were, what the day/week activities were, or when we could schedule something. Now the kids can easily look on the calendar itself and my husband can use the app to look. I can also schedule things on the go (I was always waiting until I got home so I could look at our paper wall calendar) but I’d often get home after most businesses office hours so things got put off and forgotten. No More, I can easily look at the app from anywhere and make appointments. I love the grocery list feature, family can add to it when they use the last of something even if I didn’t know we were running low/out. My kids also like the chore feature and getting their confetti party after completing their lists. I am amazed at what a difference this calendar has made and I’ve owned it less than a week. Everything is all in one place now, I used to have a google, iPhone, and outlook calendar as well as my wall calendar and they never matched. Now everything is in one place and I am much less stressed!!
