I love our Skylight Calendar! It is a great addition to our kitchen counter, it helps us stay organized with our kids events and then getting to see the pictures as a slide show is perfect!
I had a magnetic calendar on the fridge that I'd have to write down all our activities...this calendar is fabulous. Being able to sych my Google calendar, make lists, chores is a total life saver. Highly recommend
I'm still not sold. I have 12 kids in my home and I have used so many different chore charts and scheduling methods for our large family. I'm hopeful that skylight can be a convenient digital solution for our hectic lives. We've had a few kinks to work out but the support has been really great and responsive. There are a few improvements I would like to see such as a way to track/store allowance for chores for each kid. Also, we have a large house-- it would be really nice to be able to to have 2 devices synced together just for convenience which would help motivate my kids to track their chores. A confetti celebration only occurs after all the chores are complete--my kids would enjoy it more if it was a celebration after every time they completed a chore. I would also love a larger screen option of even a vertical display option. Hoping my love for skylight continues to grow.
I bought this to help let the family know what recurring chores need to be done for general household maintenance, so that they could choose what they want to help with based on what was needed. But if they move the task to their name the whole recurring schedule moves to them. It’d be cool if there was the option to just move one chore without it affecting the entire pattern. Also wish that the calendar would hold a little bit of a charge so that I could mess with it from the sofa instead of needing to stand at the counter to make adjustments. The app does help with that, though.
I really enjoy it, there could be a couple things that would make it better such as I have two kids and they alternate some chores so somthing to do that would make it easier IE there are two lawns (front and back) and they alternate mowing every two weeks… so I had to make a chore for front kid 1 every 4 weeks and the back kid 1 every two weeks then the opposite the same with kid 2 so I had to make 4 chores and figure out how to make sure they alternated. Little things like that, that could be improved. We also alternate dishes and clean up as well so had to do the same for that.
