Okay, Product enhancements 1. Chores on the device and app. As the customer I want to be able to modify created chores so that when I need to change the date or who it is assigned to I can.
2. As the customer I want to have a option to roll over uncompleted chores to the next day.
The calendar aspect is well thought out and has been wonderful
The frame itself is beautiful but the UI is sluggish. The slideshow feature has a lot of bugs and the basic shuffle function doesn't always work properly so sometimes it'll repeat the same few photos over and over again before finally showing a new one. There's also no way way to select all photos in an album when adding, through the app or in the portal. The app also crashes if you try to add more than about 60-70 photos at a time. Since it builds itself primarily as a photo display, this is very disappointing. I threw the box away already or I would probably return it. The calendar sync/chore chart feature works well so far though.
The only thing that could use some improvement that I see at this time is the ability to edit/modify along with reordering list. Otherwise a great product!!
The skylight calendar has changed how we function as a family. Everyone knows what is going on each day and the kids are great at doing their chores. I am a huge fan and tell everyone they need to get one!
The "chore feature" is very limited. You cannot assign the same chore to multiple kids at once like "make your bed". You also cannot edit a chore or event once you have created it - you have to delete it and start over. You also cannot assign chores that are for the weekdays only, which I was hoping to do with their school tasks. So because it cannot do those things I end up not using it because I can't "do it all" easily in one place liked I hoped. It's time consuming to assign things so I end up just using my google calendar and I phone checklists
I have been looking for a digital calendar for a while but nothing that I found worked how I envisioned it to work. Then the skylight calendar popped up on my Instagram and I was convinced this is exactly what I was looking for. I have had it about 2 weeks how and love it. Everyone in the house knows what is happening for the week. We are a family of 5 with 3 kids with multiple activities a week. Theye kids are doing chores to be able to check off the boxes which makes life a little less chaotic. I also started to use the meal planner which is great because then they can see what the plan is for the week. If your on the fence... Just do it ...you won't be disappointed.
