Pretty good, but room for improvement

I like our skylight frame, but there's a couple things that need to be improved upon in the UI. 1) build in an auto-refresh for calendar screens. If we don't touch it for a while, you have to click chores then back to calendar to update the screen to the current day. This would be wildly easy to automate. 2) To set up chores, you need multiple calendars sync'd for each person. This is silly. Make a way to add local people (ie: kids), then assign chores to each accordingly! It's really close to being great.
My wife was very skeptical of switching from 2 foot by 3 foot office type calendar 3 days after she had all set up it was the best thing since indoor plumbing!!
I thought this was going to be a wonderful tool to keep everyone organized. I thought I would be able to connect my phone calendar and everything would just transfer over. It’s such a process to send everything over every time you add something to your calendar. Not what I was expecting. An expensive mistake on my part. I don’t care for it at all.
The only complaint I have is I wish the calendar would always display what day it is, like outlook. As you get further into the month, you have to scroll up to see what day it is. Many times, I have been in a hurry and wanted to check the date, but realized I always have to scroll up to find the bold box around the date. If this update could be made, I would say it’s a 10/10. Overall, it’s a great product and we love having the ability to create a grocery list and add chores to each individual.
I have the sleep mode set for 9pm to 6am. It never goes to sleep, I get in bed and realize there is still a light on at 11 and its the calendar photo. I manually put it to sleep. it "wakes" up at 6 am like it is supposed to. I also wish I could view the calendar on a monthly scale as well as the 1-7 day scale. With 3 kids in sports I usually have to make plans a month out
Very few options. I have other digital photo frames and they work much better. The Calendar itself is not intuitive, so I guess having something added to it makes it a slightly better purchase.
