Skylight App App Reviews

Awesome!. So when I first saw this advertised, my first thought was “I would be hilarious to be able to send random memes and funny pics to someone”…so I told my mom about it because she would have found that funny too. Well, she immediately contacted her siblings and they pitched in for a Skylight for their mom. My grandma is in a nursing home several states away, and our family is really scattered around the country. It has been so nice for all of us to easily send her pictures of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and various pets. The app is really cool because we all get to see what other people are sending to G-ma! Some of my cousins have children I have never met, and being able to open this app and see birthday parties or silly moments is something I treasure! I would recommend Skylight to everyone!

Awesome and so easy to use. I’m super skeptical of products that I see in my IG feed that look too good to be true...this one wasn’t. It’s awesome. When I had a question about shipping/ arrival date, they got back to me within hours and addressed my concerns (getting it there by Xmas). The app is literally idiot proof, it’s so easy to upload video and pics. Plus my favorite feature is that anyone who has the email address of your frame can also use the app or email and send pics. My siblings and I use it to help make our parents feel included in our daily lives since they’re so far away and we haven’t been able to see them this year. The frame has a sleek, simple look and great resolution. I’m actually annoyed I didn’t take advantage of their buy 2 and save promo because I want one for myself now! Haha. Anyway, awesome purchase, high quality, and intuitive, easy to use interface. Love it!

Love My Skylight. A very good friend got me this frame last year for Christmas! I absolutely love it! I had another digital frame (it was nice, too) but I’m not very tech savvy, & I had to wait for someone to help me get pics on it. But with my new skylight frame, I can send pics & videos immediately right from my phone/iPad all by myself! I love all of the features the skylight frame offers right now, but my favorite is being able to privately share pics/videos with my family & friends who also have skylight digital frames! I love this frame so much that I recently bought 3 of them, 1 for a family member & 2 of my friends! Like me, they are hooked & love it as much as I do! Thank you so much, skylight team! I’m looking forward to the new features that I have read about that are coming soon. However, if possible, please don’t make them an added expense on/for the customer to get them & add to the frame.

So easy!. There are surely tons of reviews praising how great this digital frame is, so I’ll keep this brief and just say how incredibly easy it is to use. It’s a breeze to set up, with simple, concise explanations in the instructions. Anyone could do it (at ANY age). Transferring photos is a breeze. I love that you can simply email the photos and they’ll show up on the frame. It may seem a bit archaic, but it really is the best way. I was expecting to have to download the app, grant various permissions, disable superfluous notifications, upload digital media, then get blocked because I didn’t log in first, get redirected to a webpage to create a separate account, go through two-factor authentic——- You get it. Everyone forces this crap upon us these days. But not Skylight! I feel very confident getting this product for my parents - or even grandparents - and letting them figure it out. They aren’t technology illiterate, but many companies and products have so many steps, involving many different applications, that it can be confusing for people not entirely used to this sort of thing. And that’s why I praise Skylight for the ability to simply email photos and be done with it. Obviously there is an app, and there is the option to upload directly from your phone, but the fact that it’s possible to simply email them is a huge PRO in my opinion. I like it when companies remember that sometimes simple really is the best way forward.

Skylight App and Frame. I was given this for my birthday. When I opened the shipping box and saw the name, I thought it was something that displayed the cosmos on the ceiling (ouch! My neck!). But it was better. It is extremely easy to set up and use, although something of a ‘rabbit hole’ for the owner—where do you stop adding, captioning, editing, grouping into albums, all of which are very easy with Skylight. Easy, too, to invite others to share photos. It has very good resolution, is well designed and programmed, and really is a fine device for sharing photos with anyone who has one of these. Support is excellent, prompt, and effective. The app is free unless one wishes the additional capability of captions, albums, and videos. Everything seems to work effortlessly and impressively.

Love this “best gift ever!”. My Skylight was a birthday gift from my sister. She had purchased one for herself to keep photographs of her young grandchildren close and refreshed. Her gift of one to me was one of the best gifts ever! It is so easy to share images of our grandchildren and family. Children grow so quickly and living far apart doesn’t help keeping up, but Skylight is the perfect interchange to keep images coming! I absolutely love using this frame. Recently, my 3+ year old frame began acting up. I contacted Skylight tech support. Wow! Talk about customer service that was over the top! My service tech and I worked together to resolve my issue. I am NOT a tech person, but my representative told me no worries. He had to walk me through the process. He promised me it would be resolved and I would not lose a single image! He was so helpful and went beyond expectations to get me up and running again. When I see the “tap for new photos” pop up in the screen, my heart begins to smile! I can’t wait to see what pops up. BTW: I have put a lot of my travel images on my screen so I can relive those special travel moments. This device is user-friendly and backed up by a wonderful tech support system. I absolutely love my Skylight!

Loved at first, disappointed with the upswell. I purchased this frame back in the fall. It was easy for my mildly tech savvy parents to set it up. It worked instantly and easily. I took a break from sending photos since they had done a long-term visit. When I started uploading photos again, I was disappointed to find that viewing the history was now considered a Plus feature that required a subscription. Really? Changing the terms of use after purchase doesn’t sit well with me. The upload process also changed a bit and isn’t as seamless as it used to be. I used to add photos to a “skylight” album from my phone but it doesn’t intuitively sync photos from that album anymore. Perhaps it’s just buggy? Either way, not loving the sneaky ways of up selling features I didn’t have to pay for in the past.

Great product. I can’t say enough about this frame. I purchased it for myself, and my entire family fell in love with how easy it is for us to share photos. Hardly anyone takes hard copy photos now. I have photos in frames and the people in them are adults with their own children, but because they either never gave me an updated photo, they are forever frozen at the age they were in the photo. However, now I receive photos all the time. I love that I rarely miss anything due to how fast the photos show on the skylight once it’s sent to the frame. This year I purchased my entire family a skylight for their home, can’t wait to see the memories they capture on their skylight.

Glitchy software. The idea is great, but the execution is not ready for prime time. Only had it for a few days and already: - There’s an erroneous “color # e1e1e1” category that shows up in chores view and will NOT allow me to delete it. After back and forth with service email they want to do a hard reset which will delete all the settings and all the chores that it took me 40 minutes to painstakingly add one by one. So frustrating! -You can’t reorder how the chores appear in view to make the kid chores visible first. -You can’t select the days for chores (just recurring by x days) so it’s a nightmare to add a chore that’s only done on M-W-F for example. - you can’t pull photos in from Google and if you select them off your phone it only allows 50 at a time - checking off chores is laggy. You press the check and have to wait for the spinning icon for a few seconds - calendar view defaults to the early am so you have to manually scroll it down to actually see what you’re doing that day in the afternoon/evening when most events are scheduled - there’s no Split View where you can see your calendar and also a photo gallery on the side— it’s all or nothing - no whiteboard or “notes” feature to just let you hand-write a memo or drawing Great concept and families need something like this, but this one is buggy and doesn’t have enough useful features.

Love my Skylight. I received my skylight frame 1 1/2 years ago. It’s been so nice and easy to use and I love the surprise of new pictures from our family! I do feel some improvement could be done as far as sending pics to the skylight. It does best sending one at a time and would be nice to be able to send more at one time. Also adding a caption isn’t as simple to do. Can’t add when sending a photo from photos to skylight only when you go onto the app. Regardless I gave it 5 stars because I love the concept and love seeing pics of my family scrolling by on my kitchen counter! All of my adult kids now have one and some of their extended families as well. Thank you for all the smiles! Elaina

Grammy’s Kitchen Window. I love the Skylight that was given to me by our adult children and their spouses. I feel like they gave me a window into their lives right here on my kitchen counter. It’s been easy to use, and thankfully, our family sends us pictures! It’s so easy to send pictures that even this almost 70-year-old Grammy sends pictures that I take to it! One of the things that is especially nice is that I can turn the sound off or on. So sometimes when I get homesick for the voices of my family, I can turn it on and hear those familiar voices, popping up with the videos as I go about my day. And always, always, sound or not, there are the 17 faces of our beloved family!

Needs improvements. I think this has the potential to be awesome but it was marketed too soon. The app is lacking many basic calendar functions. There is no option for a yearly repeat so you can’t set birthdays. It doesn’t auto generate the title of events that happen more than once so you have to retype it each time. When you set a start time for an event on a future date, the end time doesn’t automatically go to the future date but stays on the current date. There also isn’t a month view function in the app. Also, listing our unique cal email as an intended has never worked to transfer events from my iPhone calendar to the app; so I have to enter every event in two places. It could also use a notification to other family members when someone enters a new event. These are just basic things that would take less time when making a quick calendar entry and seem like common sense for good UE.

THE BEST. I am so NOT tech savvy! This was a Christmas gift from 2 of my girls and my son in law set it up fir me while we were all together. They started sending pic’s to me right away! So simple to use that I am able to do this all by myself now. The option of videos and pictures! It is amazing to feel like I am part of the family interactions now. I don’t use social media, it’s just not my thing, yet I wasn’t getting to enjoy all the interaction between family events. Well? This fixed that! I am setting in my room watching the pics right now as they scroll by! So cool. One feature that is fun for me is I have an e-mail set up specifically for this and anyone can send photos or video to that address and a prompt appears on the screen to view new photos!! At a touch of the screen they start loading. I don’t have to turn it on or off because there is a timer to have it sleep and wake up! This is one of the best gifts I have received from my kids; except the grandkids!

Amazing Photo Frame!. I love this photo frame! It is so easy to add photos from your phone, if you get the app!! You can also email them to the frame, but I haven’t tried that yet. I love it so much, because I take a lot of pictures and no one ever sees them but me, but with this photo frame that rotates them all of the time, everyone that visits our home gets to enjoy them! My husband and my granddaughter love it! even if I leave photo albums out on the table, no one picks them up and looks at them. This way they are right in front of us on the entertainment center. They are visible anytime! Soon, I will try emailing them soon, as I have a lot on my computer, also. I love, love, love it!❤️❤️❤️

It’s Good, But Could Be Better. I am a mom of 5 (blended family)and have struggled with a chore system that works with our crazy schedules. This is literally the best system/app I have found so far that actually works for our family! I love that I can update things from my phone when I am away and they can see the changes at home when they get home from school. The peace of mind/organization that comes with this is is already so worth the money and I am really loving it so far… it’s a moms dream come true! Overall I am very happy and can already see the difference this calendar has made in our household. There are some features in the app that I would like to have that aren’t currently available, which is why I only gave it 3 stars. I will update my review if there are ever updates. Things I would like to see are monthly calendar views and the ability to edit chores.

Great for families with older parents!. This device and app is perfect for us to be able to show our mom photos of the day, the vacation, the dinner we made or video we did to say hi without mom getting confused how to open the iPad and get to her social media account. The frame just stays on and rotates Thru the photos we all three login to show her. We clean out older photos daily and upload new things so she’s constantly getting new images and videos from us thru the day! Course I also just live with her but hey this helps my sisters be able to share more directly to her instead of going thru dads Fb account to see things. Highly recommend for families

Can’t view my own history?! Terrible gift.. Seriously??? We got this frame as gift and were really excited about it. Everything works great and it looks great. However, over time as we’ve added more photos we recently noticed you have to pay a subscription fee to view your own photo history? Are you kidding me? Like they actually blur out your own photos after like 20 in the app and you can’t see past that. Extremely annoying and therefore massively disappointing. I understand paying for other features, but that’s just ridiculous. “Hey, here’s this neat digital frame I got for you.” “Awesome thanks, can’t wait to use it!” “Well, to do so you’ll have to pay monthly.” “………………. Oh… cool.” And then you lock all the settings, ALL THE SETTINGS?!, behind a pay wall? I would never gift this frame to someone or recommend it as a gift with so many pay locked features. Very user-unfriendly. I wouldn’t be surprised if it eventually ends up unplugged and thrown in a storage box. If you’re willing to pay for the expensive frame and then a subscription service on top to use the dang thing and think this is a great product, I’m not sure how clearly you’re thinking.

Not perfect, but best option. First, I evaluated all the options. Including ordering and returning many but settled on skylight because it may not be perfect, but it has the best interface and most streamlined system for families. The biggest pluses—seamless syncing with google (which every uses!) and standard interface that is simple for babysitters, kids, teens, adults and grandparents. Does anything even matter? It’s basically a glorified wall calendar with bonus features Bonus feature #1: the magic import (or whatever it’s called) feature will save you time and instantly add calendar events. It’s worked perfectly the times I’ve tried it. I was pleasantly surprised. Bonus feature #2: recipe storage. Accidental benefit Bonus feature #3: large size in the max that I’m hoping will mean more features / displays. #3 above is key to why we invested. I’m going they take some of the good ideas I’m seeing on Facebook and other groups and add to the features WITHOUT going so far in allowing customization as Cozyla. The consistency of the Skylight and routine structure between systems is what we liked. Makes it easy for everyone to understand and use.

COVID friendly. My mother’s birthday was in August and she turned 89. She has felt very isolated from our large family due to the scare of Covid and all of us keeping our distance especially those of us working in the health field. I bought this virtual frame for her and now all of us are sending pictures pretty much daily and it has made a world of difference! We are sharing our lives with her daily and she looks forward to our daily visits never knowing who is going to drop in (on her frame). Next best thing almost to being there! The heart feature on the frame is priceless where she can just touch the heart on any new pictures and it automatically sends an email to the sender that she got and loved the picture. Perfect gift for her during this trying time.

Easy to Use, Needs Widgits. The app itself is pretty straightforward and easy to use. I was able to sync up our calendar without any issues and even the updates and sinking from my Apple calendar to the Skylight calendar does work pretty seamlessly. However, I have noticed that if I add an event to my calendar changes the colors for everyone’s events on the Skylight calendar to match mine. So I do wish either that integration was a little cleaner or it would be amazing if Skylight created a widget where I could just see their calendar on my home screen and use that exclusively. Then I would be able to see everyone’s calendar right from my home screen, which would be fantastic. Overall, recommend the app happy with his functionality. I just wish that it could fully replace my Apple calendar rather than having two on my phone

Love this! But would deduct a half star if I could.. I love this frame! We gifted it to my in-laws and my MIL has been standing in the kitchen staring at it for the last 10 minutes. My siblings-in-law’s and I uploaded a ton of photos before Christmas so it was ready to go this morning. It’s such a wonderful gift and I know it’s something they will love for years! However, I would deduct a half star if I could, simply because the app is constantly nudging me to upgrade. Apparently you can pay a monthly subscription for ‘premium’ features that I think are simple and should be included. It’s both clever and annoying. We paid over $100 for this frame, which was well worth the cost, but it’s tacky and annoying to be bombarded with advertisements to upgrade.

SERIOUS Fraud and Functionality Issues with Plus Features. There are HUGE functionality and fraud issue with the supposed “plus” features - first of all, EVERY time you go to ANY of the plus features, you have to enter your email AGAIN - an infinite number of times, even when you never left the app. It essentially requires logging in every time you go to any different part of the app. Even worse - it’s completely false that you can upload videos! When trying to upload a video in the iPhone app, we are directed to the Skylight Plus sign up page, AFTER WE ALREADY SIGNED UP, and then when we enter our email to indicate we already signed up, we are directed back to the upload page, after which we’re directed back to the sign up page, in an endless loop! How horrible must an app be to completely fail on providing the very features you are charging for? They should be required to give every customer their money back after promising features that do not exist.

Easy for the whole family!. This App makes the Skylight frame so easy to access. It’s nice to be able to connect to multiple frames. I keep buying the frames as gifts for my family, so I really love being able to connect and easily add photos to each of their frames. It’s also super helpful to be able to see what’s already on a frame. I get to see what my brother sends to my mom’s frame, and I can download all the adorable pictures of my niece and nephew! This also helps me keep track of what I’ve already sent to a frame & avoid accidentally spamming with duplicate images. My technologically inept parents are able to navigate this app without any issue, which speaks volumes about how accessible and user-friendly it is. I love it!

Great device but app needs work. Like many others’ situation, we got the Skylight to easily share photos with my Mom from afar because traveling to see her is not easy. Great way to stay connected, and she loves having fresh content show up without her having to do anything. The concept is nice. The app thus far works fairly well but needs enhancements. First of all, one cannot really (in our experience) load anywhere near 50 photos at a time from the app; uploads choke or become crawlingly slow for batches larger than 5-6 photos. While the “progress bar” concept for each photo as it’s uploading is nice, it’s also deceptive because it is hard to tell when each photo is actually complete. (A 99% bar looks just like a 100% done bar, but it’s not DONE.) A small check or tick mark as each photo completes would help. It’s also frankly annoying to bait the user with features such as “say something about this photo” - features that take up a substantial fraction of the screen viewing area, when it would be nice to just see the actual PHOTOS a little larger - only to redirect the user to the Skylight Plus subscription screen when those “extras” are clicked. I’d prefer that the service just be clear about what is a “premium” vs. a standard feature, design cleanly around each set of capabilities, and not try to constantly slam users into paying more. Not everyone wants or need the Plus features.

The Skylight frame has been great for my mom.. This has been a wonderful way to share pictures with my Mom, cellphone had gotten too confusing for her. With the skylight she can have so many photos in one place, easier for her than photo albums and we can send instantly to her from anywhere, she can easily swipe forward or backward on the screen but not have to deal with other navigation. Perfect for her and I’m glad we chose the Skylight. (Only improvement would be for me as manager to be able to see the entire photo collection, it only lets you see the latest handful of photos and you can delete any of those as needed, have to pay for a subscription to be able to see and manage the entire collection.)

Nope. Refund Requested.. Maybe wait for Version 5.0 of the Skylight Calendar? Brilliant idea and yet such a D+ execution in this iteration. Current product and app must have barely passed the Minimum Viable Product. - Syncing our calendars with the Skylight App is NOT simple for a family with multiple / complex schedules (isn’t that why we bought this?) - App should allow you to change calendar layout orientation. It’s a total miss that you cannot choose a vertical layout. - Perhaps most relevant, there are just so many options that a thoughtful version of the Skylight App should facilitate e.g. access Photos to choose your family picture, add a screen saver, icon, etc Corresponding Skylight product feedback - because you won’t find this anywhere on their site: - Wall hanging is actually NOT workable: the weight of cord pulls down the right side. (?!) Additionally, it’s a white product with a black cord. How does that work on anything but a black wall? - The “desk stand” is actually a plastic stick that screws into the back. Cheeeeap. - Cannot edit an event on the device if you want to quickly adjust the time (#life). You need to delete event and re-enter new time. - Cannot choose an “all day” option from the device. Like, you know, BIRTHDAYS or HOLIDAYS. All told, if I’d paid $25 for this product, I might be OK. This barely functional piece of plastic is NOT worth $150. Refund Requested.

Best gift ever!. My parents are in their 80’s. My Mom is visually impaired. I bought the Skylight Frame and had it mailed to my parents home. While visiting them, I was able to set the frame up in 5 minutes! We live in FL and my parents are in PA. I can send pics directly to the frame. It is such a joy to send pics of our teens in “real time”. No more checking email for pics we send! And, my Mom can see the pictures quite well (I ordered the 8 x 10 size, which sits quite nicely on her night stand.) My younger friends at work were pondering what to send their parents/grandparents. I suggested Skylight. The three who ordered it were delighted that their recipients were so thrilled to receive and enjoy the Skylight Frame!

From around the USA. I have a family that has not always been together since we are spread out over many states and with large pieces of time where we and our kids have grown up without my wife’s mom able to see each important moment. Well this made for the perfect Christmas gift. You can upload photos in the app or get a dedicated email address and as we and the rest of the siblings have life events happen they can instantly be dropped into her picture frame so she’ll never miss another moment. In addition just catching up on pictures that she’s never seen. This is an amazing gift made better by a simple process for transferring pictures! AMAZING!

Not working!. I subscribed in order to be able to upload into the magic import and send in or forward emails with dates to make my life easier. But it just is not working all of a sudden. With one school calendar I sent in to be magically imported, it got dates wrong all over the place. I had to delete the entire calendar… to which I then find that you can’t delete categories!?!?!?!? The app or system requires you to reassign the calendar instead of just being able to delete the entire imported information that was imported incorrectly in the first place. Then… if I try to manually set an event to occur twice a week let’s say… it sets the event for every day of the week! I have tried and tried and it is just not working for me and is instead causing me to stress out and get frustrated. As a mom of 3 kids dealing with two schools with different calendars etc and everything else I need to juggle and set on a calendar… I thought this would be a great relief. So far I am learning I may have wasted my money or I have a defective digital calendar. If someone from the team could please reach out I would greatly appreciate it and would update this review once someone helps me with this mess. Super disappointed customer as of right now.

Nice gift. I bought this for my 82 year old mom for Mother’s Day. She does not like technology and is very frugal & I have a really hard time buying for her anything she likes. I set this up & loaded pictures beforehand. I could tell when she opened the gift that she didn’t like it, but she brought it home. It was funny after her first complete round of pictures she calls me and says “how do I shut this off? I’m done looking at the pictures.” I tell her just to leave it on, I have a sleep mode set up. The next several days afterward she calls me to tell me how it’s growing on her and that she feels like she has company over, then how comforting she finds it. Needless to say she is very happy. I am also happy with the gift, the set up & how my siblings & nieces & nephews can email pictures in at anytime. My mom doesn’t have internet, so I’m going over once a week to hot spot the unit to download. A very nice unit

Sharing memories and experiences.. Skylight has made it so easy to share photos of past and present with my family members. Being able to share photos with multiple user’s screens at once makes my life easy when it comes to keeping family members that are all over the country feeling connected and sharing in the joy and experiences. As a traveling professional photographer, Skylight has made it very easy for me to share photos from adventures with my family and it doesn’t clog up my own personal cloud or web-based storage. I love that I can also download photos from family members screens via the app, allowing me to save photos my family has added of nieces and nephews.

Quick and simple. What the Skylight calendar does, it does well. There are some limitations when attempting to manage multiple chores at once to reassign them to an existing category, for example. Another example is making modifications to reoccurring events. I’ve only been able to change one event at a time from the unit. The screen is very bright and clear, slight delay but it doesn’t distract. Pressure sensitivity is decent but if you’re looking for something more robust, this probably isn’t the solution for you. This displays your calendar in a few different views, chores are easy to create and assign. I haven’t seen any “smart” functionality that would be nice to connect to a smart ecosystem i.e. Alexa, Google assistant or Siri (among others). Overall, build quality feels great, this accomplishes the main goals of displaying your calendars, chore charts and lists.

10 in frame and the app.. We got one of these for my grandma. She is loosing her hearing and has something wrong with her eyes that causes her to not see certian sections and colors. We got her a white frame (white for some reason helps her see the other colors) if she sits directly in front of it she can see it! It has been a blessing! She loves that she can be apart of the grandkids and great grandkids lives through pictures. The app is easy to navigate. Only down side I can think of right now is… It did take me awhile to firgure out, I had to approve senders via an email sent to my personal email. I was trying to find the email address I set up for my grandma’s frame. Once we got that ironed out it went smoothly.

The App’s tech isn’t easy and streamlined for Apple (Using Calendar). Still worth using though.. I will start by saying I LOVE the Skylight Calendar, and it’s made my family’s life a lot easier overall. However, using the app (and you HAVE to use the app for some things vs. desktop site), is TERRIBLE. At least for Apple products. It’s confusing, with too many steps, and often, when you get where you need, (like finding an “upload calendar” button) it’s just a set of directions for what to do yourself on your phone. The app could really use an overhaul to match how wonderful the calendar product is. Once everything is set up though, it’s not the worst. However, let’s talk about the list functions, like making a grocery list, or a to do list, which could streamline across your home calendar, and any family member’s device with the app. Sounds amazing! However, because the app is not at all user friendly, it really doesn’t get used, which is extremely disappointing. I also really wish they’d come out with an Apple Watch app, if only for the LIST functions! All in all, buy the calendar, but be prepared for subpar app of you're a part of the Apple family.

Love love love. We absolutely love our Skylight! My son and DIL gave it to us for Christmas and we enjoy it every single day. I love that I can see my kids and grandson and all their animals every day, at any time. The photos scroll thru all day and sometimes I find myself just going into the living room to have a look and a smile 🥰🥰. I recently went out of town to take care of my MIL as she was sick with Covid at 98. My husband (who also was getting over Covid and couldn’t go) doesn’t have a smart phone so sending him pics is a pain for him to get. So I sent him pics of his mom and her last days to our Skylight and he was able to “see” her and I was able to send him a video of a priceless conversation that mom and I had about what he was like when he was a kid ❤️. This truly was one of the best gifts ever. So easy to set up and use and it truly is the gift that keeps on giving, everyday if you want it to. Our kids live thousands of miles away and I feel like this keeps us more connected. You won’t regret this purchase. It’s way worth the money for all the smiles you’ll get or give.

Great Frame, Great App. I don’t have a Skylight frame myself, but three of my relatives do. They all bought them as gifts for each other. They said I could download the app and send pictures to their frames. My husband and I are on our honeymoon now, and it’s so nice to send our pictures straight to the frame instead of texting them to everyone. Plus it’s a nice surprise for them to see the cool places we’ve visited. I may even get a Skylight frame for myself soon. The app is very user-friendly and sends my pictures to the frame almost instantly. I get notifications for any activity, such as when someone “likes” my pictures. I also get notified when others send pictures to the frames. It’s so fun.

Works great, kids love it, but the app is slightly underdeveloped. Skylight has got a great thing going on! The kids are loving their chore charts. For the price of the service, the app is slightly underdeveloped. I’m guessing it’s a relatively new company and as they grow, more and more features will be offered, so I’ll wait patiently :-) We are just *dying* for a drag and drop sorting feature! Chores appear in alphabetical order right now, and the kids naturally tend to work in order top to bottom, so it’d be great if I could change the order myself. Other things we would love to see is the ability to add/edit chores in a category that is not one of the five selected to actively appear on the frame. Would love to see sub lists, so we can label the category with our child’s name and give them a morning list, an after school list, and a bedtime list. And if we’re going crazy, I’d love to be able to select the terminology used (some households avoid words like “chores” and opt for things like “jobs” or “responsibilities”.) Little things like that would send us over the moon!! But overall we are happy with it the way it is as well :-) Great product, I think we’re in it for the long haul.

Keeps us connected. We have given a Skylight frame to our grandma’s and the whole family shares photos effortlessly that they enjoy. We live far away from them and their health is poor so it keeps us connected. They love to see photos and videos of their kids, grandkids, and great grandkids on a regular basis. I purchased the upgrade in the app so we have more control and they can also receive short videos. That purchase applied to both frames which is nice. The grandma’s absolutely love their Skylight Frames and we love the ease of sharing and managing from afar. The only thing required was getting assistance connecting the frame to their internet wifi, which was easy to talk our helpers through. I was able to create the account and do everything else from 2000 miles away. People sharing have the option of emailing photos/short video clips or downloading the app (which is very user friendly and intuitive). After setup, I was able to share the information with other family members via a brief text to get them started. Bottom line- all parties involved love this device and sharing service. It is simple, doesn’t take much time, and brings so much joy. We haven’t experienced any negatives yet and have been using for over 6 months.

What a gift!. I recently bought the large frame for myself (and my family). We Have lost 3 of our children in the last 3 years- so to be able to put all of our memories into this and easily see them all at anytime is priceless… especially being able to upload videos and hear their voices,( I upgraded my account). ! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 It is worth the cost to us a hundredfold! I am so glad i spent the money on this brand and the larger frame-plus is so simple to set up and add pictures to. Its a precious gift! My children love sitting in front of it and would watch them all day if they could. 💗 I can’t wait to get more of these. I want one in every room!

Very nice. My children gave this to me for Christmas with the promise to share more photos with me. It is enjoyable to watch but at the same time I could see some improvements could be added. Fading pictures in and out or other options would be wonderful, also a timer of turning on and off. In addition as it randomly switches pictures I see a few very often but not all of them. Another problem I noticed is the sound for videos. No matter how many times I turn the sound off it continues to come on with every showing of a video. It was necessary to remove the videos altogether. The Skylight does not have a battery therefore it must be plugged in at all times. It was a wonderful gift but not really very different from the Digital ones we used to put an SD card in with the exception of using WiFi.

No sorting allowed. As far as this app goes, it’s pretty slick! One star knocked off for no way to change the upload order. I only use as a digital frame so the calendar is never used and I can’t review. As far as skylight as a company. You can upload to the frame all day long but you must purchase a subscription to remotely remove content. If you’re ok with that, after all the money you already invested in the frame, then I recommend the product. Otherwise I’d keep shopping around. One final note, this app only comes in a mobile/iOS version. Most of our pictures are on the desktop and the only way to load to the frame from the desktop is through email.

Could not love it more!. Our Skylight sits in our kitchen and I sometimes will stop and just watch the pictures shuffle. It keeps those precious memories part of our life and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. My parents, brother, and kids have one and feel the same. It’s so easy to send a picture to my elderly parents, and it brings them joy to receive a new picture and feel connected to what is going on in their loved one’s lives. The Skylight itself and the app is very user friendly. The frame is a great size and attractive. We’ve had it for years and never had an issue. You can elect to view pictures chronologically or shuffle them randomly. Uploading the pictures from my iPhone and ipad to Skylight is straightforward.

Okay frame, app is a constant up-sale. For the price of this frame, the free side of the app is almost useless and is constantly trying to get you to purchase the subscription service. My siblings and I bought it for my mom who is 92 years old to be able to to share pictures. Yes, you can send pictures to it, but they take a while to come through and there is no managing of the pictures remotely without buying the $40 annual subscription (for one person). In the app, can also only see just a few of the most recently uploaded pictures, the rest are blurred out, unless of course, you purchase the subscription. You can’t even change the order of the pictures. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED with the non-disclosure that is is a subscription based device for managing pictures remotely. I can’t speak to how well the subscription service works because I’m NOT buying it. For the price of this device, it should include a full service app.

Family Connected. I bought a Skylight for my parents 3 years ago and they love their frame. Now my grown kids and my sister’s family are able to send photos and videos to the grandparents. We live on opposite sides of the country so it helps us to stay connected as a family. I asked my kids to buy me a Skylight frame as a Mother’s Day gift two years ago. I absolutely love the frame - especially now that I have my first Grandchild. It is so exciting to see the notice on the frame saying there is a new photo! I installed the Skylight App on my phone and it has made it so much easier to share photos. I can send photos to my own frame and/or to my parents’ frame. And then I can also see what I sent to them so I don’t double send photos. The App is very simple to use and was quite easy to install on our devices. We are very happy with the Skylight frame and App!

Just a few issues. I have really enjoyed having this calendar and that our family all knows what is going on. Recently, events have been erasing on their own. This started to happen after the most recent calendar update. Luckily, I have remembered what was on there if it something that is coming up more recently, but I also have stuff on there a few months out. This is a big part of my brain and can’t lose these important dates. Also, I wish that the app really did send you push notifications of events. I have the reminders turned on both the calendar and the app but the app does not notify me. It would be nice if there was a widget to put on your Home Screen if push notifications aren’t going to work.

Skylight Calendar. Love the product, very happy to have it, I think it’s been extremely useful in keeping my family on the same page! Some minor improvements would be nice, such as: - being able to reorder chores (by priority, by steps, etc) instead of them automatically being in alpha order - preloaded US/other country holidays in calendar - option to add location to events in calendar - option to hide Meals, Sidekick, Photos if you don’t have plus - more color selection, some of them are too similar to each other and gets confusing My biggest gripe is not for the app but for the product features. For the price of the calendar, I really think at the very least the Photos screensaver should be included in basic instead of paying monthly/annually with Plus. I don’t need the other features in Plus right now. The calendar is already a frame, they might as well allow us to use it as a digital photo frame too without a subscription. I considered getting the Skylight Frame because you don’t need a subscription for that but I don’t have room for multiple devices that can/should do the same thing.

So practical! And a little fun too.. I had been looking for a tool like this to take me out of the driver seat as the keeper of the calendar/mom/Siri. I love how easy this is to use. I love how attractive it looks on our counter. I have the subscription service yearly that allows me to dragon drop and send screenshots and emails to Skylight to auto populate. This was a really important feature for me. Seems like that would be reasonable to include in a $300 price tag but I am paying it nonetheless. In the meantime, I have a great grasp on what all of our family needs are as a family of three with a dog and a special needs family member, whose care I am responsible for. and when the day is done, it turns into a great digital photo frame. I highly recommend this.

I love my Skylight calendar! But 1 thing… or 2.. I bought this calendar due to our household never seeming to be on the same page. The kids are constantly asking me when appointments, games, etc are. And my husband does the same. This is a great way for us all to be synced under one calendar. The frame was easy to set up, the app is easy to use, the pictures are beautiful, I love the chore feature also (much better attitudes about chores). The onnnnnnly thing I wish was an option was a notification when you or someone else in the family adds or modifys an event. They also need an IPhone widget!! If half stars were an option I’d give 4.5, but I can’t so I’ll round up.

Lots of bugs…. Just got the calendar a couple of weeks ago and it has so much potential! I am really trying to convert the family to this rather than google calendar because of the all-in-one family aspect. However…. so far the bugs are relentless. For the last 24 hours I haven’t been able to add events on my phone. As soon as I tap a date the app closes. Last night, I was unable to access or add to my lists on the frame. The iPad version is only portrait (the frame is landscape, why shouldn’t the iPad version look just like it?!?) so I can’t use my keyboard cover with it. Also, when I access the weekly calendar tab on the iPad the dates glitch and appear at the end of the week covering up the assigned categories. Also, when I send items to the calendar via the specific email they are not reliable syncing to the calendar. Honestly this is starting to look like an expensive mistake. I hope the bugs get fixed— even though it has the potential to be highly functional even without some aspects that would make it truly great— it is unreliable and buggy at the moment.

Amazing Gift!. This frame is not only stylish it’s also very easy to use. I bought this for my parents during the beginning of the stay at home orders here in San Diego. I wanted a way for me, my 5 siblings as well as extended family to be able to send pictures to a central location. This way my parents wouldn’t have to sort through pictures received by phone, send to email, download to computer, save to a micro card, etc. etc. You get the picture? (Pun intended). My parents love it! The family loves it! I would’ve rated this 5 stars but I also purchased the app access, which should be free, and I am not at all happy with how clunky and poorly put together it is. I hope skylight is on top of making the app shine as much as the frame does. Oh, and the video with sound feature rocks as well!

Skylight Frame. We purchased this frame as a Christmas gift for my mother who passed away just before Christmas, so she unfortunately didn’t get to use it. Decided to keep it for myself, opened it today and I really love it! It looks just like a photo frame and I’m really enjoying having so many wonderful memories on show. I’ve found the App very easy to use. Will definitely recommend this to friends and family.

My mum loves it!. Honestly best gift for my elderly mum. The whole family including crazy grandkids can send their latest pics and videos of their shenanigans. Mum loves it so much. In fact wants to “take it with her to show her friends”. Bless. Big hit! Thank you!!

Great to be connected!. Our adult children bought us our frame as a Christmas gift. We all live in different parts of Australia. This has been a wonderful way for children to connect with us. Hubby and I get so excited when we see the notification ‘tap to see new photos’. It is so special! Such a fun way to connect as the children continue to upload photos for is. And kind of like the animated photos with Harry Potter! Wonderful gift!!

Connecting with family. Being able to send family photos and adventures to Parents is such a great way to keep them in touch.

Excellent. Ordered one for my parents in uk (I’m in Australia). Apparently the quality is really good. It was easy to set up by elderly parents. They love it! The app is easy to use, the rest of my family are enjoying sending to it too. Thanks so much.

Perfect gift!. I purchased the sky frame for my parents before going overseas. It provides and easy, instant way to share our experiences and to stay in contact. My parents love the anticipation of new images through their day.

Brilliant way to share memories. Love this wonderful gift from my daughter. Great how the people I choose can add their photos. Really enjoy seeing what my family have added. Such precious memories. Only addition I would like is an edit facility rather than having to download and then reupload.

Great for family sharing!. Such a wonderful way to keep our elderly Mam up to date with our life in Aus Sending photos has become a breeze as she couldn’t get the hang of a smartphone - this frame has solved the problem! Love sending her random pics and she’s excited to wake up and see what’s new on her frame Super easy to set up and she just had to Plug it in when it arrived

Perfect Gift. We had ours gifted to us for Christmas 💞 and it’s perfect as we all live in different towns, our Skyframe now makes it possible to keep up with all the milestones from afar throughout the year, all year round 💞 The perfect gift 💝

Stay connected with family overseas!. My daughter bought this thoughtful gift for my parents in the UK. They love it - every morning they wake up to new pics from all the family in Oz and it’s so simple to set up and use. Great gift idea that brings a smile every day!

Fantastic present!. We bought a Skylight frame for my Mum for her birthday. She is the hardest person in the world to buy gifts for and she absolutely loves it! The grandchildren around the world have been sending photos to the frame and it’s made her feel more in touch with all the family. Highly recommend! Thanks 🙏

Christmas Purchase. Bought this for my elderly parents and it was a hit as soon as we got it going really glad I got this and it is not confusing at all for the older generation

Not very user friendly. I’d love to see further updates to improve the app. I’ve found it glitchy at times when uploading photos, where it constantly has a loading symbol over the photo and never uploads to the frame; despite following directions and not leaving the app while it loads. I have been able to upload a few dozen photos with ease though, and love the frame itself. Just a few bugs to iron out it seems.

Great gift!. We bought one for each set of grandparents and they love it! We can upload pics to both frames at the same time and the whole family can upload pics and we can download pics that other people upload. It’s also great for our 2 year old to keep seeing rotating pics of all of his family.

Amazing. This is a beautiful looking frame and amazingly simple and easy to use. One of the best gifts ever. Only improvement would be to be cordless with a rechargeable battery. But both sets of grandparents that we gave to for Christmas love it!

Great Xmas gift. My kids and I bought this for my elderly Mother for Xmas 2022. She loves it and I’m happy with how easy it is to use and seeing her enjoyment each time a new pic shows up. It was easy and super quick to set up. Absolutely recommend it!!

Received Skylight as a gift. I enjoy photography and love taking and receiving photos of my 8 Grandchildren. I had been wanting an alternative to storing photos in frames as they take up so much room, and the Skylight is the perfect answer. I can receive photos as the event eg Birthday celebration, is occurring. I feel so connected to my family who live a long distance away. It was a great gift and very appreciated. Blessed every time the family send photos straight to the digital frame.

Best gift ever!. Purchased one for my Mum for Mother’s Day, gave it to her yesterday as I live interstate. She loves it, added photos from her phone, my phone and both my siblings. So easy. Purchased another two today, gift for the mother in law and one for me.

The perfect gift!. I had a digital photo frame many years ago that just randomly stopped working. I was so bummed at the time. My husband recently brought me a skylight frame as a gift and I absolutely love it! All my friends and family can send photos directly to the frame and it’s so easy to upload new photos. Great quality and looks amazing!!

Love the simplicity. I love being able to add photos to the frame so easily. A bit disappointing that the extra features that are proudly advertised must be purchased as extras though!

Gift from my kids. It’s so nice to get lovely pics from my kids of them and the grand children. Every time I turn it on there are more cute pics. It’s a gift that keeps on giving.

Thank you Santa. Just what I wanted for Xmas. Great look, easy to use and amazing quality. Loaded with favourite family shots and travels to watch at leisure during hours I determine. Very excited by it’s prospects and fantastic to see my grandchildren grow and keep up to date with their activities. Such great idea for modern apartment living where spaces for photos is limited and looks like artwork. Love it.

Such a great way to connect with aging parents OS. I love that once this is set up it’s upper easy to send to parents overseas and i can send photos to More than one frame at once! Perfect for creating family connection!

Interactive. Love the whole concept of family being able to send photos to our ailing dad. However, the app often glitches resulting having to delete then reload the app several times. Love it being interactive so that dad can respond by tapping on the 🤍

Skylight gift. I am one of the fortunate ones who has ageing parents. Unfortunately they live so far away. I bought the frame and have been sending them photos on a regular basis. Dad who’s 93, even said this is the best present he’s ever received, every morning at breakfast they scroll through the photos to see what we have been up to. I’ve given the email address to all the people that matter in his life and now they are sending no photos as well. I’m going to update to Pro next, to make their experience even better Yes it’s 10/10

Closes the distance from the grandparents. Living half way across Australia makes it difficult to keep up to date with the family so we got one of these for each of our parents so they do t miss out on their grandkids growing up. Absolutely the best gift money can buy!!

Need more !. Received as a gift from my awesome daughter for Xmas -Would love to be able to move pics around and place them in my own order on the app Otherwise love it - now I need one for horizontal pics and blk and white pics :)

Beautiful gift for my Nan. We bought the skylight frame for my 97 year old grandmother. She loves seeing photos of her many grandchildren and great grandchildren, but she has recently moved into a care home, so there is little space for a multitude of photos. Although there is no wifi, we set up her frame with loads of photos and when people visit they can Bluetooth their phone to the frame to download any new ones. Nana seems to love it, and I think it brings her a lot of joy to see her family whenever she wants. We are all spread out around the globe so this allows us to keep her up to date with photos of what we are up to. Worth every penny for the pleasure it gives her.

Skylight Xmas present. I seen this on instagram and thought it would be a perfect gift for my mother for Xmas, I was worried it wouldn’t arrive in time but it was here super fast. The support staff were absolutely fabulous with there communication and super helpful with setting up my skylight plus subscription setup, could not fault them. Highly recommend! 5stars

Together. We ordered 2, one for each of our great grandparents. They love to sit and just watch their posterity and feel together! Thank you for sharing your talents to help our family stay close! Such a great idea. Middle generation

Skylight. Our children gave us the Skylight for Christmas. As both families do not live local to us we love the new, almost daily or weekly photos of the grandchildren and on rotation. I also add our holiday photos, reminding us of these great times.

An easy way to view lots of images. An excellent present for Grandparents and anyone who wants to have the variety of lots of images in a frame. Set-up is easy and pictures can be added remotely using the app.

For all the family. Love this app and frame. I got it for my nieces and nephew who are too young to have a phone. It means that I can send them pictures without them having to bug my sister to look at the phone!!

Grandson connection. I was gifted the Skylight for Xmas by my daughter & mum of my first Grandson. Now I can see him on the very clear screen with updates of new photos & videos. It was easy to install. Great gift for family parted by distance.

Baz. I got the frame for my 75th birthdy last week an the kids an grankids have put a heap of photos on it It's really gr8 When I get home from work I click it on an love seeing the pics scrolling thru in the background Best present. Great concept Excellent product Thanks kids 👍💕🥰👍

FamilyAlbum. Purchased as a gift for our mother, as we live a fair distance and don’t get to see her as much, this allows us to share the photo memories at the same time as we are taking them, allowing mum to be part of our everyday moments

Brilliant.. What an awesome gift for elderly to see what the family are up to. Once you set it up for them they get news for all around the country and even the world. Super easy to use.

Bugs. Great app, would love some bug’s fixed in the calendar if you create an event it sometimes creates the same event multiple times. Trying to edit an event or in meal plan it won’t let you choose certain dates. In calendar if you choose all day it puts the event over 2 days thanks

Beautiful way to share photos. We purchased the frame for our elderly parents, they love seeing the new photos arrive and being able to show off the photos of their kids and grandkids to their friends

Photo download. I am loving my skylight frame the only thing that disappoints is when it has trouble downloading a picture in the app you can’t doing anything. I believe it should have an option to delete it whilst it’s downloading maybe swipe to delete. I’m tied of shutting down my phone to fix it.

Great!. Bought three of these, one for us and 1 for each of the mums when our baby was born. It meant we could easily send photos of the baby without having to send messages all the time. A great gift to be reminded of very fleeting moments with a newborn.

Easy to manage more than one frame. We bought these for the grandparents on each side and it’s so easy to manage via the app (which is free and no need to subscribe). We can select a pile of photos and send them to both frames at the same time. So ridiculously easy to use and a really great gift.

Brilliant for family far away. Love this idea for my parents. Rather than sending pictures in text messages they can receive beautiful photos of their grandkids, family and friends all the time. Fantastic product. Wish I had of bought one years ago

Love Skylight!. We received our Skylight frame as a gift and are loving how easy it is to use! We can add photos with ease and are enjoying receiving photos from family & friends. The photo colours are crisp and vibrant and it’s a great way to feature many loved photos in one space. 10/10!

The perfect gift. This is the perfect gift for anyone but especially for our nanna’s! Photos are so easy to download and our children who live all around the country/world are able to send uptodate photos and the best part is our Nannies don’t have to do anything. Love it

Great Xmas present. Our daughter who is always very thoughtful gave us the Skylight Frame forChristmas. The Frame is very elegant and is an excellent way to display family photos and events. The instructions are very user friendly in the initial setting up process. Inserting the photos from phone is also very easy. A great product!

Gift for Mum. Recently moved to a state away from my mum and she misses her grandbabies dearly, my sister also lives away. We’ve got the frame for her for Christmas and I think she will love it! As for my review is more so for the app, I think it is laid out really well and easy to use. I think some of the “premium features” are a bit of a rip off as you’re already paying for the frame so seems a bit steep to pay by the month also just to add a comment to a photo haha but since we don’t need these features we’re happy to use the free app which in itself is good enough! 😊

Special moments every day. A beautiful present from family to enjoy every day another wonderful memory and up to date photos. So easy to use

Xmas gift. My amazing children and partners gave us this lovely gift for 2023xmas we love it so much ..so many pics the kids download from there devices and I’m always surprised to see new pics daily or when they go on holidays etc This is a great gift for anyone thinking what can you get for the grandparents etc

Love my Skylight Frame. This was given as Chrissy gift and I just love it. I have so many family photos and holiday pics it’s great watching them roll through. And it’s so so easy to load pics - it’s a must have 👍🏼

Best gift ever!!!. We got this for my parents as a Christmas gift and they tell us on a regular basis that this is the best gift that just keeps on giving. A home run of a gift

Absolutely brilliant help. We love our tech until we mess up, then the product is as good as the support we get. Well this product is worth every penny and then some. John helped me through an issue, quite possibly self inflicted lol, and with patience and grace assisted me to get my fabulous Frame back on track. My children send me photos of their families and the joy we all get from so easily sharing joyful times is wonderful. Thanks John. Outstanding help. 👍🏻👍🏻🥇🥇

Skylight review by angry nana. Yay so fun to play with its like a video game but with stuff that (i) nana love ! Sometimes my grandkids upload messages to me either un a card or just on the photo its self ! We do unfortunately live 33,000 miles away from them but love it! People say app crashes but it all went welk for us! Best lroduct ever and 100 % worth the price.

Love it ! ❤️. It ‘s the best !

Great product but.. I would love to see the Skylight Calendar include the following features to enhance functionality and user experience: 1.Improved List Management: Add the ability to sort to-do and grocery lists alphabetically and incorporate drag-and-drop functionality across all areas for easier organization. 2.App Syncing: Enable integration with list-based apps using the same URL system currently used for adding recipes. This would simplify importing and syncing lists. 3.Enhanced Color Options: Introduce more vibrant primary color choices, which would appeal particularly to families with kids who enjoy bold, bright colors. These additions would make the Skylight Calendar even more versatile and user friendly

Great viewing. We are enjoying seeing great memories on our photo album

Awful for picture uploads. This app never seems to be able to import mine or my wife’s pictures properly. We have to send them one at a time by email to get it to go through. Which when trying to send all of our wedding and honeymoon pictures, is hours of time

MacKinnon Family. Loving sharing photo’s on our Skylight

Pictures. Very good for families

Nope. App has a horrible set up and look. Super expensive for the yearly subscription to be able to upload videos, captions, albums, view more than 10 photos, etc. with how expensive the frame is it should be included. I think there’s similar products out there now look somewhere else. Great idea in theory but it’s too expensive to maintain a service like this.

User friendly!. This app is extremely easy to use and makes it simple for friends and family to add pictures. We were so happy with it when we gave it to both my parents and my wife’s parents that we got it for ourselves.

Sharing Pics. What a fantastic way to share pictures with grandparents, who live a distance and don’t use social media… keeps them in touch…loving the Skylight frame.

Great but... Love the app and being able to add photos to the frame from anywhere. But, having to pay to add a caption just feels like a money grab. I already paid for the frame, why should I have to pay 50$ a year to add captions.

Main functionality is broken. There is no way to sync calendar events created on Skylight back to the cloud or device.

Best gift for distance relatives. This has been a GREAT gift for my 90+yr old mother. We got for immediate family to keep in touch—but family far & wide are sending pics. It is a WONDERFUL gift. My mother was able to set it up without a lot of effort —& that’s saying something!

Love it. It was a christmas gift from our kids Great to get timely pics of our grandkids

Love this frame!. My daughter bought this for me for Christmas. I look forward to getting updated pics of my granddaughter. Best gift ever!

Perfect app. So easy to set up and use, for my parents who just became grand parents they were able to set up the frame easily and I just drop photos in of there grandchild, highly recommend it to anyone

Thankful. We are new Snowbirds. Really appreciate having family along thanks to Skylight.

Love love love ❤️ ❤️. I received my Skylight frame as a Christmas gift. I really didn’t give any thought to whether I would like it or not. It’s sat in the box for a couple of weeks with me never giving much thought to it. Then one day, my daughter called and reminded me that I needed to set it up. What a game changer. I absolutely love the digital frame and that the kids can send the pictures right to the frame. This way I get the pictures of my grandchildren right away. Can’t say enough good things about it. Thinking on getting a second one.

It’s a great app, but. It’s a great app, but I would like it to provide a way to assign people to each meal in the Meal Planning, kind of have an integration between meal planning and chores where we can assign people to each chore.

Great. Nice to have set up in my living room. Company enjoys watching through the pics. It was easy to connect and get running, even for a non-tech senior, lol!

Great to share with family. Great gift! Sharing photos on my trip with family at home. Easy to download. They automatically go to skylight and notify when new photos are downloaded.

Loving it!. We have one and got one for each of the grandparents homes. We all love seeing and sharing updates from around the world. Such a lovely way to stay present in each others lives and homes 🥰

Great & Simple. Agree with alot of other reviews. Great for sharing with family abroad. Super simple, but a little pricey.

Needs list auto generation. I LOVE this product but it NEEDS a software update to add grocery list auto-generation. I currently have used apps like: any list, Mealime, etc and the ability to automatically have a grocery list generated for the week is a LIFE SAVER. The whole point of skylight is to streamline so in order to continue to use this product I’d love to see that benefit added to the paid subscription component. Any list is way cheaper! Do $49/year I’d expect this feature. Having to manually enter all the chores, recipes (even having auto generation for recipes would be a life saver), grocery lists….its too much work upfront and I could see this being a deterrent for many prospective customers.

Very cool. We got a skylight for our parents, and loving it so far! Easy to set up and great for families living far apart

We are finally organized. Bought a different system and had to send it back. Then switched to Skylight and we LOVE it. So easy to use 4 busy people in the house and finally we can are not forgetting tasks

My Skylight. My kids gave me this for Christmas… the best gift! Nothing more special than when I receive a surprise photo!

Perfection. Got this frame from my daughter for Christmas! It is so wonderful to have all of the precious memories from years gone by pop up randomly! And I can send the link to all my loved ones so they can add pictures as their lives unfold!!! No more missing photo albums!! I have one now that flips the pages for me and is always right there in view! Love love love this!!

No Complaints!. Very easy to use app. You can select multiple photos at the same time to send to the Skylight frame. It is easy to view previously uploaded photos and delete any you want. You can even send virtual cards with messages and a picture. If you have Skylight Plus you can send little doodles that you create on the app.

Skylighr. Application intéressante pour partager nos photos avec la famille et les amis. On choisi qui on veut

Skylight. We got a a digital photo frame for our dad and downloaded the Skylight app. It’s been fantastic and easy to use. Highly recommend it .

Great app and frame. Easy to use app. Love being able to send photos to the frames easily

Love it. We got a digital frame with this app for Xmas. Love how our family can load pictures as well as us. It’s great to see family pics, especially the grandkids, everyday.

Great gift. Frame is extremely easy to set up and use. All the family are sending so many pictures for all to enjoy

For my Dad💚. My dad has dementia. He loves it; I’ll be in another room and I can hear him giggling and I know he’s watching his family. Great product, easy set up. Priceless

Great Features! Would like to have more control over settings.. Really enjoying this calendar for our family! Especially the views, chore and lists - but I wish we had more control over the settings (I.e. colour schematics) as well as the ‘orientation’ of the calendar when using the app on an iPad (will only view portrait vs landscape).

Special App. This app has been so special to my grandpa. He is in palliative care and he loves looking at pictures, videos and greeting cards that the family sends to him. Worth getting the premium subscription!!

Love my frame and the Skylight App. I love every single thing about this frame and App. I love that we can easily change up the photos. All the kids can send photos to the frame. We can send photos wherever we are in the world. So easy and intuitive.

Love Sharing. Easy to use for all. My adult children regularly share grandkid and family pictures which we love to receive.

Widget. A widget options would be great

Grandparent candy. Great system for seeing all the wonderful pictures of our family. It's so fun to get new pictures of our grandchildren. We're addicted to it.

Easy and fun. Love it when technology is easy. The frame is so great and seeing old memories is such a peasant surprise when they pop up.

Difficult to set up otherwise great!. Got this to keep in touch with family. Sent it as a gift but parents had a hard time setting it up. Instructions could be much clearer for people who are not technically savvy especially in differentiating personal email from Skylight email. Visual instructions would be very helpful. Once we got it set up, parents loved it! I enjoy sending pics to family from vacations and special events since we are far apart. Great way to stay in touch and include loved ones in special events and occassions.

Enjoying our Christmas present very much. Beautiful and fun. Very easy and fun to use.

Awesome gift. We received this from my daughter and her husband. We love it as they upload all the pictures of our grandchildren. ❤️

Fantastic. My sister bought this for our Mom and she loves it. It’s wonderful that we can upload pictures for her.

Too expensive. After spending over $330 on the screen, skylight charges $60/year to manage the photos you add to the system. Honestly don’t waste your money. You’re better off just getting a regular electronic frame and managing the photos using a cord attached to your computer. Family members can easily send one person photos.

Canadian Customer. Customer service was good at resolving shipping issues. Shipping and communications were SLOW and almost nonexistent. No option to sync weather in Celsius. We use it in the kitchen to sync soooo many calendars (links from google calendars from school, phones etc) Tracking kids chores, lists etc we are just starting to use so not much feedback here yet. The touch screen is worth it. The photo gallery when in sleep mode is so great.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Account Management features are terrible. We access two skylight frames, one of which we own. When my wife opened the app this morning she was prompted to log in again. This process required us to click a link in an email that she does not have access to on her phone, which creates a problem because the link wants to open the app to continue the verification process. Once we worked around this issue and finally logged back in the account which we own did not show up by default so I had to try to add it back. Because I fat fingered the skylight email address I am now locked out from searching for frames until tomorrow. I shouldn’t have to search for and add a frame I already own and have paid for. The concept is great and we’ve enjoyed sharing photos with our family. Account management features are non existent making administration impossible.

Absolutely a great frame and app!. I love this Skylight frame and app. My husband and I received this as a birthday gift earlier this year from our daughter and son in law. This has been such an enjoyable gift. Easy to set up and use. Our kids and grandkids send us photos all the time. Great way to keep track of how they are doing and to watch those grandkids grow. Whether they are near or far it is so nice to keep current and connected with our family. Great gift. We love it. One side note- we would like to have a longer cord. I’ve researched this and they don’t sell any that are longer. This is a small negative for us. Our connections are limited.

Great for families with older parents!. This device and app is perfect for us to be able to show our mom photos of the day, the vacation, the dinner we made or video we did to say hi without mom getting confused how to open the iPad and get to her social media account. The frame just stays on and rotates Thru the photos we all three login to show her. We clean out older photos daily and upload new things so she’s constantly getting new images and videos from us thru the day! Course I also just live with her but hey this helps my sisters be able to share more directly to her instead of going thru dads Fb account to see things. Highly recommend for families

Really good. We love our skylight and the kids really enjoy getting to check off their chores. My biggest complaint is in the Meals section. Two things I wish I could do: 1) add a one time note for what a meal will be (without having to add it to my official meals list and then go in, find it and add it). Sometimes I just want to make a note of what we are having like “leftover salmon and green beans” and not have to save it/add it in several steps. 2) I’d like to be able to see my added recipes without having to add it to a day’s menu. Sometimes I need to look at the recipe but I have to go through the steps of adding it to a day, looking at it, then deleting it from that day.

A Great Start, but Lots of Space for Improvement. This review pertains to the app only. The app is great at keeping us linked, but could use some improvements to make it easier to input data and sync with more applications. To do lists, for one, are only within the app and there is no sync function with any other to-do list out there (Microsoft to-do, Apple to-do, etc.) As long as you only use the skylight app it works. The iCalendar is only a one way data feed. If you are a Google calendar user, great! Updates to the calendar made within the app are two way, not iCalendar. Last, I really wish the app worked in landscape mode. This would make typing an inputting data much simpler. As of this review, the app only worked in portrait mode.

Amazed. I got this gift from my children for Christmas. My children are grown and live in different states. The concept of this frame is simple and freaking AH-MAZ-ING… No matter where they are in the world (traveling, or living) they can share their cool, loving adventures with me. I can be sitting on my couch with my husband and the bar will come across The photo screen alerting us we have new photos… Seriously how cool is that… I’m am looking this simple easy to use frame. I’m highly recommend this gift to all children to send to their parents, favorite aunts, uncles, grandparents whom ever is spacing your life to share life’s adventures with, and to watch grandchildren grow…

Enjoying the Skylight. I am really liking the frame. So far easy enough to send pictures. Why a 4 rating? The words ‘tap to see new photo’ are emblazoned on the bottom of the screen. They do not go away. I have read all FAQ and cannot see that it can be changed. I have also not been able to find how many photos and videos it will hold. I purchased the cloud storage so I am sure it will be a lot. It was also initially difficult to get signed in. Took me a couple of days to get it working. The email needed to open in the app at first just wouldn’t work. It is absolutely worth it. I say get it and enjoy it! I am. Just a few kinks to be prepared for.

Just a few issues. I have really enjoyed having this calendar and that our family all knows what is going on. Recently, events have been erasing on their own. This started to happen after the most recent calendar update. Luckily, I have remembered what was on there if it something that is coming up more recently, but I also have stuff on there a few months out. This is a big part of my brain and can’t lose these important dates. Also, I wish that the app really did send you push notifications of events. I have the reminders turned on both the calendar and the app but the app does not notify me. It would be nice if there was a widget to put on your Home Screen if push notifications aren’t going to work.

10 in frame and the app.. We got one of these for my grandma. She is loosing her hearing and has something wrong with her eyes that causes her to not see certian sections and colors. We got her a white frame (white for some reason helps her see the other colors) if she sits directly in front of it she can see it! It has been a blessing! She loves that she can be apart of the grandkids and great grandkids lives through pictures. The app is easy to navigate. Only down side I can think of right now is… It did take me awhile to firgure out, I had to approve senders via an email sent to my personal email. I was trying to find the email address I set up for my grandma’s frame. Once we got that ironed out it went smoothly.

So practical! And a little fun too.. I had been looking for a tool like this to take me out of the driver seat as the keeper of the calendar/mom/Siri. I love how easy this is to use. I love how attractive it looks on our counter. I have the subscription service yearly that allows me to dragon drop and send screenshots and emails to Skylight to auto populate. This was a really important feature for me. Seems like that would be reasonable to include in a $300 price tag but I am paying it nonetheless. In the meantime, I have a great grasp on what all of our family needs are as a family of three with a dog and a special needs family member, whose care I am responsible for. and when the day is done, it turns into a great digital photo frame. I highly recommend this.

What a gift!. I recently bought the large frame for myself (and my family). We Have lost 3 of our children in the last 3 years- so to be able to put all of our memories into this and easily see them all at anytime is priceless… especially being able to upload videos and hear their voices,( I upgraded my account). ! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 It is worth the cost to us a hundredfold! I am so glad i spent the money on this brand and the larger frame-plus is so simple to set up and add pictures to. Its a precious gift! My children love sitting in front of it and would watch them all day if they could. 💗 I can’t wait to get more of these. I want one in every room!

Money well spent. I bought this frame in December 2019 for my mother who lives in a nursing home and suffers from a rare neurological disorder that, among many other obstacles, leaves her unable to control her hands. Her condition hinders her from being able to utilize the internet and phone to see pictures of friends and family. This frame allows all of her friends and family to send pictures, videos and messages of love to her with her only having to lift one finger (you tap the frame when you see a message that new photos are available). This frame has been a small source of comfort to my mom given the current global pandemic which prevents people from visiting those they love in nursing homes.

Loved at first, disappointed with the upswell. I purchased this frame back in the fall. It was easy for my mildly tech savvy parents to set it up. It worked instantly and easily. I took a break from sending photos since they had done a long-term visit. When I started uploading photos again, I was disappointed to find that viewing the history was now considered a Plus feature that required a subscription. Really? Changing the terms of use after purchase doesn’t sit well with me. The upload process also changed a bit and isn’t as seamless as it used to be. I used to add photos to a “skylight” album from my phone but it doesn’t intuitively sync photos from that album anymore. Perhaps it’s just buggy? Either way, not loving the sneaky ways of up selling features I didn’t have to pay for in the past.

Best gift ever!. My parents are in their 80’s. My Mom is visually impaired. I bought the Skylight Frame and had it mailed to my parents home. While visiting them, I was able to set the frame up in 5 minutes! We live in FL and my parents are in PA. I can send pics directly to the frame. It is such a joy to send pics of our teens in “real time”. No more checking email for pics we send! And, my Mom can see the pictures quite well (I ordered the 8 x 10 size, which sits quite nicely on her night stand.) My younger friends at work were pondering what to send their parents/grandparents. I suggested Skylight. The three who ordered it were delighted that their recipients were so thrilled to receive and enjoy the Skylight Frame!

Grammy’s Kitchen Window. I love the Skylight that was given to me by our adult children and their spouses. I feel like they gave me a window into their lives right here on my kitchen counter. It’s been easy to use, and thankfully, our family sends us pictures! It’s so easy to send pictures that even this almost 70-year-old Grammy sends pictures that I take to it! One of the things that is especially nice is that I can turn the sound off or on. So sometimes when I get homesick for the voices of my family, I can turn it on and hear those familiar voices, popping up with the videos as I go about my day. And always, always, sound or not, there are the 17 faces of our beloved family!

Sharing memories and experiences.. Skylight has made it so easy to share photos of past and present with my family members. Being able to share photos with multiple user’s screens at once makes my life easy when it comes to keeping family members that are all over the country feeling connected and sharing in the joy and experiences. As a traveling professional photographer, Skylight has made it very easy for me to share photos from adventures with my family and it doesn’t clog up my own personal cloud or web-based storage. I love that I can also download photos from family members screens via the app, allowing me to save photos my family has added of nieces and nephews.

No sorting allowed. As far as this app goes, it’s pretty slick! One star knocked off for no way to change the upload order. I only use as a digital frame so the calendar is never used and I can’t review. As far as skylight as a company. You can upload to the frame all day long but you must purchase a subscription to remotely remove content. If you’re ok with that, after all the money you already invested in the frame, then I recommend the product. Otherwise I’d keep shopping around. One final note, this app only comes in a mobile/iOS version. Most of our pictures are on the desktop and the only way to load to the frame from the desktop is through email.

Great product. I can’t say enough about this frame. I purchased it for myself, and my entire family fell in love with how easy it is for us to share photos. Hardly anyone takes hard copy photos now. I have photos in frames and the people in them are adults with their own children, but because they either never gave me an updated photo, they are forever frozen at the age they were in the photo. However, now I receive photos all the time. I love that I rarely miss anything due to how fast the photos show on the skylight once it’s sent to the frame. This year I purchased my entire family a skylight for their home, can’t wait to see the memories they capture on their skylight.

Thank goodness for Skylight!. Here we were in the midst of the Pandemic and our wonderful daughters bought us this miracle! Thank goodness! Being separated from our children during this time was really tough. Our oldest daughter gave birth to our first grandchild and they daily send videos and photos for us since we haven’t seen him in person. Then our youngest daughter actually got engaged during this same time. Thanks to Skylight we were able to see the event. Now we can watch, and rewatch, all these amazing events. Thank goodness for technology that is as easy as this. Now we even post pictures that they can view. It doesn’t get any better than this!

My skylight. I received my skylight as a gift from my family. It is a fascinating, fun device. I enjoy looking at all my family photos of joyous occasions, birthdays, holidays, school events, their travel excursions, also my friends and the special times we have spent together. It gives me constant joy, laughs as I recall all the memories. I believe it is one of the best gifts I have ever received, I truly appreciate having it and I watch it everyday. Also, the support process is outstanding, professional and reliable, I have used it with great results. I recommend buying the skylight frame for anyone, it is a wonderful design and delight. Grammy’s passion

From around the USA. I have a family that has not always been together since we are spread out over many states and with large pieces of time where we and our kids have grown up without my wife’s mom able to see each important moment. Well this made for the perfect Christmas gift. You can upload photos in the app or get a dedicated email address and as we and the rest of the siblings have life events happen they can instantly be dropped into her picture frame so she’ll never miss another moment. In addition just catching up on pictures that she’s never seen. This is an amazing gift made better by a simple process for transferring pictures! AMAZING!

My grandma loves it!. I bought this for my grandma, who is in her 90’s. She struggles with technology and remembering how to use her iPad. She enjoys being surprised with new images on her frame. I would highly recommend the “plus” version for the recipient who may struggle to remember who is in the images. She has a very large family and doesn’t get to see them all very often so she forgets the names of many of them which makes the captions a great feature she loves. I wish the video option would allow for a longer record time but overall this frame works great for her and our family! I have considered this as a gift for others as well. No work for the recipient just enjoyment!

Skylight Calendar. Love the product, very happy to have it, I think it’s been extremely useful in keeping my family on the same page! Some minor improvements would be nice, such as: - being able to reorder chores (by priority, by steps, etc) instead of them automatically being in alpha order - preloaded US/other country holidays in calendar - option to add location to events in calendar - option to hide Meals, Sidekick, Photos if you don’t have plus - more color selection, some of them are too similar to each other and gets confusing My biggest gripe is not for the app but for the product features. For the price of the calendar, I really think at the very least the Photos screensaver should be included in basic instead of paying monthly/annually with Plus. I don’t need the other features in Plus right now. The calendar is already a frame, they might as well allow us to use it as a digital photo frame too without a subscription. I considered getting the Skylight Frame because you don’t need a subscription for that but I don’t have room for multiple devices that can/should do the same thing.

COVID friendly. My mother’s birthday was in August and she turned 89. She has felt very isolated from our large family due to the scare of Covid and all of us keeping our distance especially those of us working in the health field. I bought this virtual frame for her and now all of us are sending pictures pretty much daily and it has made a world of difference! We are sharing our lives with her daily and she looks forward to our daily visits never knowing who is going to drop in (on her frame). Next best thing almost to being there! The heart feature on the frame is priceless where she can just touch the heart on any new pictures and it automatically sends an email to the sender that she got and loved the picture. Perfect gift for her during this trying time.

Loving this. Okay, I’ve had the calendar for about a year now, but I was finally enticed to sign up for the subscription for the meal planning ability. I HATE subscription culture, but I guess $40 a year isn’t TOO steep. Anyway, meal planning is a fabulous addition. I love that my big kids can see what’s on the menu without asking me 300 times. I do hope that you add an option to put a meal down that doesn’t have to repeat as a “recipe” - for example, we’re having a cookout with grandma one night. I don’t need that to stay in the recipes for later, it’s a one-off. Otherwise, this is brilliant. I love that I got picture ability with my sub, too.

I love it but app needs work. Skylight has been such a blessing for our family! It’s an excellent tool that keeps us organized, and the added bonus of the digital photo frame makes it both functional and heartwarming. We love how easy it is to stay on track with our routines and schedules. That said, the app has been a bit frustrating lately. Every time I try to make changes within a profile, it jumps back to the profile overview before as soon as I tap and before I can do anything. It’s a real inconvenience, especially when I’m trying to make quick updates on the go. I truly hope this can be fixed soon because the system itself is fantastic!

Parent gift. My parents had one of the original skylight frames. It was a joy for my mom! Everytime a new picture came on she sat there looking at them for a while. My mom has dementia. So this has been perfect for her. Unfortunately she dropped her frame and it was damaged beyond repair. So I just bought them a new one for Christmas in hopes I could use their old sign on and get their old pictures back. Well it was so easy to set up! New frame is all set. Old pictures are back on and we can all start adding new ones. I have the app on my phone for now and it’s so easy to use that I’m sure I can set it up for my dad to use too!

Updates/Connectivity/Tasks. The calendar updates for time to time which gives me new and improved features. A lot of times when buying tech you are stuck with that make and model features. I love that this continues to improve. Speaking of: TASKS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE OFFLINE. My calendar has trouble staying connected and my kids are obsessed with making sure they have everything done. It would be nice if that feature didn’t rely on internet for real time updates w/the app. Lastly, I don’t care for subscription based purchases but this is affordable enough to justify, tho I wish it wasn’t necessary.

Amazing Gift!. This frame is not only stylish it’s also very easy to use. I bought this for my parents during the beginning of the stay at home orders here in San Diego. I wanted a way for me, my 5 siblings as well as extended family to be able to send pictures to a central location. This way my parents wouldn’t have to sort through pictures received by phone, send to email, download to computer, save to a micro card, etc. etc. You get the picture? (Pun intended). My parents love it! The family loves it! I would’ve rated this 5 stars but I also purchased the app access, which should be free, and I am not at all happy with how clunky and poorly put together it is. I hope skylight is on top of making the app shine as much as the frame does. Oh, and the video with sound feature rocks as well!

Good, and could be great. This is a 3.5 star review for the overall experience with the Skylight Calendar w/ the optional Calendar Plus annual subscription service. This is a very good product, with a few significant friction points that Skylight should fix given the upfront and recurring costs. What we like: our entire family regularly uses the Calendar tablet in our kitchen, aesthetically pleasing to match our decor, flexible options to sync and email calendar entries. What could be better: does not sync with Apple Photos, this should just work like calendar sync; hardware should support USB-C power, proprietary power supplies are so 2023; does not have open APIs for third party value adds, the APIs today are closed; no desktop app, the iPad app is awkward at best on MacOS desktops

Love this. This has changed our whole family. My brother bought for my sister & it's amazing. We are uploading old and new pictures & we all get to see shots into each other's lives which we wouldn't see otherwise. The downside and reason for 4 stars is that it apparently doesn't work with safari creating a password and the app on my phone and the app I just downloaded to my mac don't keep the same password. And now to get the app on my mac, I have to reset the password (which I just had done on my phone hoping I could use just ONE for both devices) instead of using the phone app's password. Definitely could use a fix.

Love my Skylight. I received my skylight frame 1 1/2 years ago. It’s been so nice and easy to use and I love the surprise of new pictures from our family! I do feel some improvement could be done as far as sending pics to the skylight. It does best sending one at a time and would be nice to be able to send more at one time. Also adding a caption isn’t as simple to do. Can’t add when sending a photo from photos to skylight only when you go onto the app. Regardless I gave it 5 stars because I love the concept and love seeing pics of my family scrolling by on my kitchen counter! All of my adult kids now have one and some of their extended families as well. Thank you for all the smiles! Elaina

Sharing precious little moments…. What a beautiful, streamlined, wonderful way to connect families all across the world! Precious photos displayed in colorful high definition move across the digital frame, filling the recipient’s heart with pure joy! Skylight is especially perfect for grandparents who live far from beloved children and grandchildren; it is amazing how the shared photos and videos make you feel part of your families’ busy lives, even from a distance! I cannot recommend Skylight highly enough! Thank you for this incredible means of sharing and preserving memories, but especially for its priceless gift of bringing families closer together across the miles!

We love this frame!!. We got our grandmother this frame during the pandemic and it has helped bring her so much joy seeing her family, especially all the little great grandchildren. She watches her frame EVERYDAY and gets so excited when new pictures arrive. The frame and sending pictures is so user friendly. It’s also great that videos can be sent as well. We did recently run into an issue with the frame not working; however, skylight support immediately responded and helped troubleshoot/fix the problem after a few emails. We are so grateful the frame is back up and running. We highly recommend this frame to keep loved ones close!

Great digital frame. I bought this frame so my kids could send us pictures. It’s really easy to set up and easy for everyone to send pictures to it. Even my 82 year old mother can send pictures to the Eframe. I love the security where I have to approve who can send pictures. I also love the ability to edit the pictures after they are sent. Sometimes duplicate pictures get sent and it’s easy to clean it up. It’s also easy to download the best pictures to my phone so I can show off the new grand daughter. Great picture frame and I plan to buy another one. It’s going to make a fun gift for my daughter’s birthday!

Amazing Photo Frame!. I love this photo frame! It is so easy to add photos from your phone, if you get the app!! You can also email them to the frame, but I haven’t tried that yet. I love it so much, because I take a lot of pictures and no one ever sees them but me, but with this photo frame that rotates them all of the time, everyone that visits our home gets to enjoy them! My husband and my granddaughter love it! even if I leave photo albums out on the table, no one picks them up and looks at them. This way they are right in front of us on the entertainment center. They are visible anytime! Soon, I will try emailing them soon, as I have a lot on my computer, also. I love, love, love it!❤️❤️❤️

Very nice. My children gave this to me for Christmas with the promise to share more photos with me. It is enjoyable to watch but at the same time I could see some improvements could be added. Fading pictures in and out or other options would be wonderful, also a timer of turning on and off. In addition as it randomly switches pictures I see a few very often but not all of them. Another problem I noticed is the sound for videos. No matter how many times I turn the sound off it continues to come on with every showing of a video. It was necessary to remove the videos altogether. The Skylight does not have a battery therefore it must be plugged in at all times. It was a wonderful gift but not really very different from the Digital ones we used to put an SD card in with the exception of using WiFi.

I’m absolutely loving this frame. Got this as an early Mother’s Day gift. I have kids and grandkids that live all over the united state and other countries so this is a way they can all send me pictures of the family. It makes me feel closer to everyone. Picture quality is good and pictures refresh or change ever 10 seconds. I have it put up on my wall under my kitchen cabinets so I can see it from anywhere while I am in my kitchen where I spend most of my time. It’s my favorite spot in the house and it’s where we hang out anytime we have company. We can sit around the center island and everyone can see updated photos.

Great help. Since getting the Skylight calendar, scheduling has been much easier with my family. The one thing I wish it had was more options for notifications. Right now, the only options is for notification at the time of the event and minutes up to 120 hours prior to the event. It would be more helpful to have options for days prior to the event up to 1 week prior. With so much going on, having more options for notifications/reminders would make it 5 stars for me. UPDATE: Skylight - thank you for listening and making the update for custom notifications to include days. This will be such a great help! It’s 5 stars for me now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nope. Refund Requested.. Maybe wait for Version 5.0 of the Skylight Calendar? Brilliant idea and yet such a D+ execution in this iteration. Current product and app must have barely passed the Minimum Viable Product. - Syncing our calendars with the Skylight App is NOT simple for a family with multiple / complex schedules (isn’t that why we bought this?) - App should allow you to change calendar layout orientation. It’s a total miss that you cannot choose a vertical layout. - Perhaps most relevant, there are just so many options that a thoughtful version of the Skylight App should facilitate e.g. access Photos to choose your family picture, add a screen saver, icon, etc Corresponding Skylight product feedback - because you won’t find this anywhere on their site: - Wall hanging is actually NOT workable: the weight of cord pulls down the right side. (?!) Additionally, it’s a white product with a black cord. How does that work on anything but a black wall? - The “desk stand” is actually a plastic stick that screws into the back. Cheeeeap. - Cannot edit an event on the device if you want to quickly adjust the time (#life). You need to delete event and re-enter new time. - Cannot choose an “all day” option from the device. Like, you know, BIRTHDAYS or HOLIDAYS. All told, if I’d paid $25 for this product, I might be OK. This barely functional piece of plastic is NOT worth $150. Refund Requested.

MUST HAVE! - needs some tweaks.. We just bought the skylight calendar to use for our family of 4 (pre-k and 1st grade) and love it! It’s really keeping my sane and helping us organize our day to day busy lives. The magic import is a life savor! Love being able to take a photo of papers from school and sports schedules to just auto insert! Few things that would be nice! 1. I NEEEEDDDD a Lock Screen widget for my iPhone. I love the widget for the Home Screen but would benefit way more from seeing the daily schedule on my Lock Screen. 2. You can’t just delete a profile without reassigning the events. I loaded a calendar and it somehow made another profile and it was missable trying to delete the duplicate events after merging the account. 3. The actual calendar doesn’t sync to the right day on the schedule without changing the tab. I wish it auto synced after midnight. 4. Wish I could edit multiple events at once. I uploaded a soccer game schedule (via the magic import) and the title was wrong but I had to individually click on the events to change the name and it was very glitchy.

Beware the up sell: trapped. The frame is expensive but we got one because the novelty of it armed with it. But my older parent is not able to manage and organize the pictures himself. Fine. So I put the app on my phone. But turns out that if you even want to SEE the pictures that are on the frame you need to upgrade to the monthly or annual payment. Otherwise you have zero idea what images are there. So I had to pay in Order to manage my dad’s account. Then after I paid, the app didn’t work - still can’t use the functionality. So I contacted customer support; they said they couldn’t help me gain functionality and that they could not offer a refund. What!? So consider a different product where they are more up front about what you get, and where you are paying for something you can’t use.

As time goes on more and more ads. The frame and app are very user friendly and great for having many family members on the same account to add photos easily. The downside and reason for 2 stars is Skylight it trying to jump on the subscription business model and charge you a monthly fee to create albums and see videos all which are basic features that should not be charged a fee. As of a recent update they take up 25-35% of the screen with an ad requesting to join their Pro Plus subscription plan. You can’t “x” it out. They also now have random blurred photos aka ads throughout your album saying “plus” to make you join. In the matter of 6 months the ads and banners increase more and more for simple features and ruins the experience. I bought 6 frames for family but I’m done.

I love my Skylight calendar! But 1 thing… or 2.. I bought this calendar due to our household never seeming to be on the same page. The kids are constantly asking me when appointments, games, etc are. And my husband does the same. This is a great way for us all to be synced under one calendar. The frame was easy to set up, the app is easy to use, the pictures are beautiful, I love the chore feature also (much better attitudes about chores). The onnnnnnly thing I wish was an option was a notification when you or someone else in the family adds or modifys an event. They also need an IPhone widget!! If half stars were an option I’d give 4.5, but I can’t so I’ll round up.

What a great gift. My wife received this as a gift from her family with a group of photos loaded by siblings, nieces and nephews. She was brought to tears. Since then, more pics have been downloaded and we’ve added our own. We’ve told friends and business acquaintances about it and they ordered them for their parents and themselves. If there was one thing I would like to see is an edit function. Several people loaded pics in a sideways or upside down format. Unless we get them to edit and resend OR copy the photo, delete, then edit and reload - there doesn’t seem to be a way to reorient. Otherwise it is a wonderful gift.

Do not get this frame. I bought this frame for my parents as a Christmas gift and it worked fine until my parents needed to get a new router. Once they got a new router, the frame could not connect to the WiFi. This is a WiFi based product-how can it not connect to all WiFi’s? This frame is not cheap by any means and the fact that it stopped working is very upsetting! I tried to get help from customer service but it was just a bunch of back and forth with no real solutions. They sent me a new frame and it still didn’t connect to the WiFi. Again, why would Harvard graduates create a WiFi based product that doesn’t connect to all WiFi/routers. I am trying to get my money back and it doesn’t look like that will happen. Don’t waste your money on this frame!!! By a cheaper one that will actual work and give you less headaches!

Customer Service work in progress. I’ll add that they have since resolved this and I have updated my star review. So, I use the app for my Skylight. I clicked on Sidekick, which is a feature we want to use. I read about it, and see it also includes meal planning, grocery lists, etc. so I click on subscribe, and get charged $39. Nothing unlocks. I call support and they say the price is double and they will not honor the app price I paid. Then I request a refund from apple and it’s denied. So they basically stole $39 and tried to get me to spend $79. Item going back in box and then to store. Avoid Skylight, other companies do it better for less.

Easy to use!!. I am not super technical so when I purchase things that might challenge me, I do so very carefully. Super impressed with this product because I never read the instructions. I just looked at it it made sense and went on and did it. Love the quality, love the ease, so far, I love everything about it! I have been using it for almost 5 days and my opinion has not wavered once. My nephew and niece sent me pictures. It’s so easy and I’ve been putting all of my pictures from my phone on to my frame no problems, and like I said excellent quality and easy easy. Highly recommend.

Our Skylight Frame. Our children gave my wife & I a Skylight Frame for our Birthdays. We are certainly enjoying it. It is such an uncomplicated way of bringing our family closer together through the sharing of pictures. We have invited some of our extended family to share their family photos with us especially those with new additions to the family. Being an elementary teacher for thirty eight years my wife loves looking at baby and children’s photos. This is such a simple way of watching our kids and the extended family grow up in real time. Impressed how easy it is to manage the photo content on the Skylight Frame.

Great Frame, Great App. I don’t have a Skylight frame myself, but three of my relatives do. They all bought them as gifts for each other. They said I could download the app and send pictures to their frames. My husband and I are on our honeymoon now, and it’s so nice to send our pictures straight to the frame instead of texting them to everyone. Plus it’s a nice surprise for them to see the cool places we’ve visited. I may even get a Skylight frame for myself soon. The app is very user-friendly and sends my pictures to the frame almost instantly. I get notifications for any activity, such as when someone “likes” my pictures. I also get notified when others send pictures to the frames. It’s so fun.
