It's ok for what it is, but it's not going to get you organized.

It's ok. I like build quality and the general layout of the calendar frame itself. The phone app and especially the web app need work. There's no reminder for chores or events really. It's there, but people quickly and easily ignore it after the new wears off.
I absolutely love this calendar and have no idea how our very busy family ever lived without it!! We’ve merged all our calendars and can now see what everyone is doing daily, weekly, and monthly. The only change I’d make is to be able to change colors manually when adding things through Skylight. Otherwise, brilliant!
Love the calendar once set up. That wasn't as easy as I'd hoped tho. Our purpose was to have it on a wall or counter to easily see appointments or to-dos. it definitely provides that.
I'm about 2 weeks in with using the Skylight Calendar. Family (especially my kiddos) seem to really enjoy it, so far. Everyone is on the same page with schedules, especially with all our sports. My son likes that I can add meal plans to it. This gives him a jump start on whether he should start complaining over tonight's dinner plan, or just be happy about it.
Some things I wish this calendar had - 1) show all the calendars at the top of the screen, not just 4 of them. We have about 7 in our family and it's a pain to try and see just one calendar.
2) The option to lock down the chore list so a pin code or password needs to be entered by an adult to check it off the list. My kids are checking off items they didn't even accomplish to see the confetti.
3) I'd like to be able to rotate the 15" to portrait view, not just be locked into the landscape view. I know this is available on the 27".
4) Add a TODAY button for the calendar, or revert back to today's schedule after a 3 minute idle. Adding a button would make it easier. Took me a bit to realize I have to hit the date button to return to today's schedule.
4) It would be nice to add a screensaver picture. I don't really want family photos and to have to pay the monthly fee. But a screensaver that could be one picture (or even built-in picture options by the company) would be nice when the unit is idle.
