Skylight Calendar - Best Family Calendar? Apple - Outlook - Google Calendar

Can’t most of this just be done with a fire tablet and calendar app?

Love how all you “reviewers” keep cutting away the part where you actually click on stuff to hide how slow the processor is on this and how terrible the touch screen is.

Mine must be defective not one event from any of my calendars show up

One feature of this calendar is making me crazy. Husband and I have a google calendar that has both work and personal events. I do not want to sync my whole calendar to the skylight because it would be overwhelming. Skylight says I can invite the calendar to specific events via our personalized email address. BUT then we have to set our google calendar to public. That's bananas. We are attorneys and I'm sure other professionals have calendar events they wish not to have to be made public. The work around is to add everything manually to the skylight which completely defeats the purpose of simplifying things. This seems like a deal breaker. Probably sending back unless they can figure out a better way

Where can I buy it ? It's not on amz.

Some of these commenters don't realize that some people specifically DO NOT want Alexa in their house. lol

Which size is this one?

The fact that it’s not Alexa /GH enabled is a problem. I bet Amazon releases a similar product in next 5 months with voice. Saying “add a 5 pm appt” is so much easier than typing.

$300????…. Wow 😮 WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!😮

Too small, wish it was bigger in size

Nice - but is it worth it? Can this just be done with be done Alexia or Google Assist screens? That are cheaper too?

Can you add photos to it? Does it double as a photo frame with a screen saver mode?

Great presentation. Direct, concise and to the point.

I really want this but I need to see alarms and/or an Alexa skill/integration...also when alarming can it show the specific event in large type? also can I assign events to specific people? for example, I need this thing to bug the hell out of my son on his ipad until he takes out the trash cans

It’s decent for its price but a truly perfect calendar would have: 1. An E-ink display (like a kindle reader to resemble actual paper without the sheen of an electronic screen) 2. Motion detection to intelligently wake up when someone approaches it (like the Nest thermostat) and 3. A much larger size to always stay in month view and still be able to view full titles for day events

This is interesting. This video was recommended because I am researching Dakboard, so I wonder how this compares? I hope they have larger sizes, it looks tiny.

wait. can you actually add new appointments directly to it??

Not ready for prime time. I don't have a problem with the calendar having to be plugged in all of the time, or that it doesn't have alarms or alerts. I do, however, expect it to work properly. I have been working with tech support for over a month in an attempt to get the calendar to work properly. The calendar syncs with my iCalendar just fine, but some of the entries appear on the wrong days, while other entries before and after those dates are correct. The calendar also cannot handle entries that span more than one day, such as a four day camping trip entry. Even more frustrating is that some of the calendar entries appear correctly on the month view, but are incorrect on the weekly view. I think my patience has run its course and this will be heading back to the manufacturer.

i bought it and it was 2 important features missing:
1. ALARM/Alerts
2. it has to be plugged into electricity at all time le

Where do I buy?

Friendly, thanks for this review. Very helpful, and one of the best YT reviews I've seen.

Its missing one major thing voice commands. For instance voice chatting your information into calendar, so you would tap on their calendar date that you want to enter your info and hit voice chat or microphone to enter it by voice "like a text message" with a vocabulary Library built in also. Because typing in your info can be slow for busy people.

I’ve been looking for something like this forever - I was even thinking about working to invent one myself! Thanks for sharing

I am interested in this! If I sync it with my Google calendar, can I decide which of my sub-calendars to display? I have a “work” and a “personal” calendar, and my work doesn’t really need to be displayed for my whole family.

You deserve more subs like a million or ten million.

Please do more fidget toy reviews great video by the way!

I like this! Great review. .. If this will my kids actually get my kids to do chores... that would be awesome. ; )
