I love the calendar functionality. It really helps everyone keep up with sports, family events, etc. The chore chart functionality is quite glitchy. It was hard to figure out how to set up recurring chores that are more than once per week. Also, incomplete chores are supposed to roll over to the next day, but they don't unless I restart the machine. I shouldn't have to restart it every day for it to be accurate! Also, the bar across the top of the calendar that tracks chore completion is usually wrong. For the price, I expected better performance.
Works like they say. Easy setup and use. Only down side we have found is that the individual people we have in Cozi don't seem to translate into the same groups in the calendar.
A simple mapping from one to the other would be great. Let the user decide how to map and then keep that mapping synced.
We manually change each event to show the correct group in the Skylight calendar for now.
Simplifying Busy Family Life and Transforming Scheduling

Our family of five has experienced a remarkable transformation since welcoming Skylight Calendar into our lives. In the pre-Skylight era, managing our schedules was a juggling act. I would manually update each child's calendar and then try to synchronize them all, often leading to overlooked activities and missed events. I couldn't help but feel like I was failing as a mom whenever I realized we had already missed an important event, like "skate night."
But now, thanks to Skylight Calendar, our lives have taken a turn for the better. It has streamlined our scheduling process to a level of simplicity I never thought possible. Whenever I receive an event invitation via email, I can effortlessly forward it to the calendar by email, and voilà! It automatically appears in our shared calendar.
Now, every morning is a rendezvous at our kitchen calendar, where we eagerly discover what the day has in store for us. The convenience and efficiency of Skylight Calendar have made managing our busy family life a breeze. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and I wholeheartedly recommend this calendar to any family with a hectic schedule. Not only is it affordable and practical, but it also boasts a sleek and modern design that complements any home decor. Skylight Calendar has truly been a game-changer for us.
I love that the plus plan let’s me add photos so the calendar becomes a little family hub! I haven’t used the pdf feature yet but I’m grateful it’s there!
Setting this up is VERY time consuming! I got this to make scheduling easier for my family, but the directions are a 30+ page manual online and you need a computer to synch up your email/phone calendar to the skylight. Im looking into returning mine bc it’s just being used as a picture frame. It might be great for tech savvy people, but it’s just not for me.
