Good idea, poor execution

I really wanted this to be great, but I think this has a couple years before user interface is where it needs to be. We returned it and bought an iPad that stays plugged in and it does what we need to do. Plus it actually works vertically which this does not (despite the mounting hardware that would tell you otherwise).
Awesome way to keep our family organized! The mobile app is great too, really easy to add and adjust things on the fly. I do wish there was a way to have the view be 3-4 days starting on current so that those 3-4 days take up the entire screen. We find that with the 7-day view, only the first 3 items are visible so having the day extended and showing those 4 days, it would allow the screen (vertically) to show more than 3 items per day. Other than that (and I know...that was nit-picky but we're busy!), this thing is a great addition for our family!
We got our calendar a few weeks ago and it’s done a pretty good job of helping to keep things organized. Our kids really like the satisfaction of crossing off their own chores, and it looks really nice.
My only issue that I hope gets resolved in the future is the ability to resize more things. You can change the font size, but for example, the weekly view will only show 3 or 4 events per day, so we can’t see all of our events if we have more than that.
Similarly, I wish the schedule view showed the entire day instead of zooming in on a few hours. That would my favorite use of the calendar but we can never use it because we can only see what’s currently happening instead of the whole day.
I have 3 children in their 20’s. They obviously have their own lives, work and schedules. I can’t keep up with it all. This has been a game changer in everyone being in the loop. Communication is better because you don’t have to over do it. I asked them to just make a calendar in their phone for me to see, I don’t have to see everything. It has really helped me be able to keep up and follow up. And I don’t annoy them as much! 10/10
