Man the subscription for photos makes this a dealbreaker for us. Thanks for the review

I like skylight we have but I hate the chore chart. You can only set it up through the app and on the device itself. For some this isn’t a big deal but when you have a medium to large family like I do It’s tedious. It’s not impossible to do it just reminds me of T9 texting. I wish they would allow us to set up the chore chart through the website what is the very least had some premade options

Can you give an update on the calendar? How has it performed since you got it? Thank you.

I guess I don't see the problem with the photos. It's a cloud storage service so someone has to pay for it. No different that icloud or any of those other storage services that charge fees...The fact that they give you an option to just not do it is nice.

I believe the pictures are just coming through the linked Google account, so from that perspective, it's no different than pulling the calendar through.

Hi there - great video! Thank you for your honest review. Do you know if this calendar shows the year? (2024 and so on). I work in a courtroom and it would be great to see future years. Thank you

As someone in IT, thanks for the great and honest review. I was comparing it to Hearth but this looks better. Wish it was bigger.

Does your calendar make a phantom click/noise about 4 seconds after to perform an item on the device? For example, you select the + to add an event and then exit/cancel out of it. Wait for 4 seconds, does it make a click noise?
@ProductImpressions4 ай бұрын
Yes, I hadn't noticed that before, but it seems that any interaction with the calendar screen gets a little click sound a few seconds after touching it.

@@ProductImpressions Mine does that too which is super annoying. Looks like a design/software flaw. Support hasn’t been able to resolve the issue for me. I wonder if everyone has this issue with the calendar.

great review, thanks. I wish every reviewer would walk through all of the features the way you did. The photo subscription is ridiculous, but otherwise looks like a nice piece of gear.

How do you get the orientation from "landscape" to "portrait"?
@ProductImpressions7 ай бұрын
I'm not aware of that capability, and don't see anything about it in the settings.

This is also my problem, I recently purchased the 15" an it doesn't do portrait (even though when you first boot the thing it actually IS in portrait mode when you select the Wi-Fi network to use )

How many people can you set up chores for? Is this something that could increase with an update in the future?
@ProductImpressions8 ай бұрын
I don't know that there's a limit to the number of accounts that you can link to the device. If you put everyone in as different colors on the same account, it's 11 different colors that Google allows.

How do you think this would compare to using a pixel tablet with google calendar?
@ProductImpressions7 ай бұрын
Well, the tablet is definitely going to be more versatile but smaller. There is some added functionality of a chore chart that you can edit through the Skylight website (but not on the device itself, apparently) which might initially be lacking on the tablet, but I'm sure there's an app for that. So basically, smaller and more versatile, or larger and simpler.

Thank you so much for the review. Can all actions be controlled by a mouse or do you have to do it thru touching screen? Also it needs a constant power connection to outlet?
@ProductImpressions6 ай бұрын
Yes, it needs constant power. The device itself is just touch-screen, but you can set up an account that you control through your computer if you'd rather use a mouse.
