The Skylight itself is pretty great. I love that it will create events for you if you email a PDF flyer to it. It makes adding school events easy. There are two major drawbacks for me. 1. It does not send an email alert to tagged people when an event has been added. 2. It does import a google calendar, and it can sync back to that calendar IF you select that when you create the event. After the calendar event is created, however, you cannot go back and make it reverse sync to google. So all of those PDF events I love to email don’t show up for my husband to overlay with his work google calendar.
I have went through calendars. I have went through family apps. I’ve tried it all to keep my family organized. This is great. My kids know how to check their chores and they know what’s for dinner every night. It is soooo nice to have a grocery list that constantly updates so if I’m out and the kids need something they can just send it over.
This is already a game-changer in our family. Our kids don’t have phones (and won’t for a loooooooong time — #waittil8th) so having a digital schedule they can look at every day before they go to school gives them ownership over their schedule. The meal planning feature has been a surprising delight — the KIDS just drag and drop what they want for dinner every night and I plan our shopping list around that. No more whining about them not liking what’s for dinner! I love this calendar and I look forward to any updates they make to it. It feels pretty perfect for us but I love that updates happen automatically. I’ve already “influenced” six or seven friends to buy one!
Love it! My 3 kids are all using it and I’m so excited to get less questions from them about “when is…” or “what time do I have….” Brilliant! The lists function is awesome for them to communicate groceries and other wants for shopping trips, and we can all finally keep track and remember who’s week it is to do kitchen duty! Yay!
- I bought a family calendar and organization tool and I can’t see all tasks on one homepage. Why can’t you see Calendar, tasks and shopping list without clicking out of 5 pages???
-upgraded to show photos and now it’s just another screen going in my house instead of a calendar and family share. What is the point???
