Kudos to you on homeschooling your kids. It's great that you can help other homeschool moms! :)

So thankful for you posting this because I was thinking of getting this, but couldn’t figure out how to put the kids’ lessons on it. This is such a great idea ❤

Thank you! This is just the info I wished for when I was spending hours researching how this might work for our family. My kids have had zero complaints about it and it has taken so much work out of my week in terms of homeschool planning and assigning chores. We have shuffled chores around from kid to kid, and days of the week and it's been such an easy process to do.

Love your video and it was so very helpful. You helped me decide between the skylight and another similar brand but you showed so many great features! Plus we also homeschool and I love how you are using it for those tasks per student as well! ❤ thanks so much

This comment makes me so happy, I'm glad it was helpful! This has been extremely helpful at motivating my kids to get their school work done, and for me it has been super easy to schedule assignments and tasks. I'm so glad to have it! I hope you feel the same way when yours comes!

@@ASlightlyBetterWifeI put down a deposit for the July shipment! My kids are just in elementary school but I think they will love being able to check off their work as we do it together. I am also really looking forward to moving to this instead of a basic chore chart. Your extra family chore list is genius for those moments that they really want some extra ‘work’ to do around the house. Mine always do this before a Disney day or something they want extra money for.

Thanks so much for this video! Can you unplug to calendar from the wall for a little while if needed, and still have it work? Or does it always need to be plugged in to work? Thank you!

@ASlightlyBetterWife 2 ай бұрын

It needs to be plugged in to operate. That is one of the reasons I opted to put it on a shelf, rather than on a wall, so I could conceal the cord a little bit better.

Can you also make changes and update it from a computer?

@ASlightlyBetterWife 3 ай бұрын

You can make changes with the synced calendars from a computer, but there are not many other features available through the browser yet. I did read in the Facebook group that is something they have taken a note of and plan to work on. I use the app and it is extremely user-friendly. I have heard multiple people say they have the app, and so does their husband so they can both be updating the calendar and chores, etc.

@ruthgriepentrog4054 Ай бұрын

Two questions: 1. Is there a way to filter the calendar display to only show events in certain categories at a time? 2. What happens when chores are not completed in their day? Can they be automatically pushed to another day until they have been completed? Or do they just disappear even if not completed?

@ASlightlyBetterWife Ай бұрын

Oooo these are great questions! Yes! You can easily select which calendars/categories you'd like to show at any time. Sometimes I have all showing, other times I just select one child's calendar to see what they have going on. As far as the chores you can choose if they show up the next day. In the settings on the Skylight, select "Chores", & the option will appear to "show late chores".

I’m a homeschooling mom of 4 and this review is exactly what I needed to see!! 2 question I have- is it easy to cancel the free trial that they offer? Also, how does it update when they change something? Is it through the app?

@ASlightlyBetterWife 3 ай бұрын

I did not go with the Plus option, but I would assume that it is easy to cancel just based on all the great things I have seen and heard about their customer service in the Facebook group. I do not think that it would be an issue at all. I think the updates just show up, I have not noticed that I needed to do anything special. It is possible that there have not been any noticeable updates since I have had it. I think they are rolling out the option for vertical mode on this model in June so I will update then if there is anything special that I need to do to get the update.

Hi there, is there a way to delete all of the chores at once? Or all of the chores underneath a kid? Why can't we delete it all at once...

@ASlightlyBetterWife 2 ай бұрын

Not that I know of. The only workaround for this that I can think of is that you could remove that "category" & create it again to start over. It would be nice if you could hold down and select more than one chore at a time to bulk remove. If you are in the Facebook group, you should definitely make that suggestion there!

@psichijr Ай бұрын

Does your calendar make a phantom click/noise about 4 seconds after to perform an item on the device? For example, you select the + to add an event and then exit/cancel out of it. Wait for 4 seconds, does it make a click noise?

@ASlightlyBetterWife Ай бұрын

You know, I am not sure I haven't noticed this. I will give it a try in a little while and Report back.

@ASlightlyBetterWife Ай бұрын

It does! I cannot unhear it now that I know what I'm listening for. It's just as you described. I adjusted my volume settings and that does not seem to make a difference. It's such a faint sound, so it isn't bothersome.

@psichijr Ай бұрын

@@ASlightlyBetterWife It bothers me like crazy 😜 I’m corresponding with their support to see if there’s a solution to this issue. I guess it doesn’t bother you since you haven’t noticed it until now.

@roypacheco6122 2 ай бұрын

Does it create a shared calendar for all family members, or does it also provide each family member with their own calendar? Lastly, when a family member enters something into a shared calendar, does it alert you?

@ASlightlyBetterWife 2 ай бұрын

Since I have a 16 and a 21 year old, as well as younger children and my husband who use this we all sync our Google Calendars to the Skylight. Each family member has their own color category, so I can click on their category/ color and see just their personal events or I can see the whole family calendar at once if I don't select one person first. That is the default. There isn't an alert that they've shared an event, but it does show up instantly on the Skylight. So to explain this a little bit further I will use my oldest daughter as an example. She has her own Google Calendar that she gives us access to view her events, but not edit them. So on the Skylight everyone in the family is able to see her events, as well as all other events created by anyone else in the family or made on the Skylight.

Hopefully, that makes sense. Feel free to ask any more questions. To me, it was such a big ticket item that I did so much research before I finally purchased one. It's an investment, and it takes a tiny bit of time to get set up, but once it is up and running it helps the whole house run smoother!

I feel you! I was so apprehensive in spending so much when basically all I needed was a digital chore chart, although it has many other features as well, I just didn't need those. Nearly every day though I'm thankful that we have it and say out loud what a good purchase this was.
