It’s a great product, but a few tweaks would make this awesome for an entirely different demographic. Make this portrait, display only one day at a time but with more header room, larger font options, and add time of day-morning, afternoon, evening and night. I would love to pilot a version aimed at the elderly and their caregivers!
I was so excited to have a digital calendar for my family to keep us all on track with our very busy schedule. Unfortunately we have been left very disappointed . The first digital calendar we received was defective. After some back and forth with the support team, we were sent a new device. Unfortunately that did not solve our issue, and the support has lacked after the initial interaction. We are now left with an expensive device that will not connect to our wifi and therefore has very little use for what we were looking for.
Pretty good, could be incredible with a few changes to the functionality.

A great start for a first gen product. It's definitely helping us stay organized as a family. And everyone in the family loves seeing our photos as a slideshow when the calendar isn't actively be used. My husband and I both love the 'To-Do' list function and the ability to view everything from the device itself or via the app on our phones. It's changed grocery shopping for me, for sure. There are some minor changes that I think would make it exceptionally more intuitive that I hope will come in software updates down the road. For instance, when you click on a date within the calendar to see and then hit the 'add event' button, it defaults back to the current date, so you need to manually adjust to the proper date. A minor inconvenience, but something that I could easily overlook and accidentally schedule something for the entirely wrong day. Another frustrating flaw....you can set your events to sound audible alarms at a set time prior to the start time. But if your Skyight is in sleep mode, the alarm doesn't go off. Which completely negates the point of having the alarm. I also wish you had control over how the pictures are cropped. These are just a few things, amongst a few others that future updates could easily improve.
I love our new skylight frame! My whole family can see each others schedule - kids games and appointments are so much easier to add than writing them on a whiteboard calendar!
The calendar is a good idea but it's not actually as functional as it seemed online. I bought Skylight for the main purpose of the calendar so that my husband and I can share a calendar. The fact that the app is unable to to send reminders or notifications of events makes the app basically useless for our family. Definitely not worth the price.
We love this calendar. It took a few tries to sync our phone calendars to it, (no luck with apple calendar, but it easily synced with the google calendar that is linked to our apple phone.) I really love that we can all stay on the same page this way. I love the option to forward an email to the account and it can add an event from the email to your calendar! The grocery list is an added bonus! Can't wait to try the chores feature.
