I think you really missed the mark in your assessment of this product. The skylight frame I could understand but this, this is a tool. This is the answer for busy families to keep everything in one spot so nothing gets missed or lost and can sync to the app on any phone keeping all parties up to date on what’s going on. It essentially replaces a paper planner, paper calendar, grocery list, meal plan, to-do list, and phone app all in one. This is helpful for individuals with adhd or moms carrying the entire mental load. If you don’t see the benefits of all of this then I’d assume that you don’t have children, or your spouse is the one keeping track of everything for them.
That's a valid response!! At the time of reviewing this, their marketing was directed in different areas and features weren't as robust as they are now! It seems Skylight has been super helpful for families and that's awesome!
My daughter has 4 kids. With all of the kids activities, school schedule, and appointments, this is an easy way for she, her husband and the nanny to keep track on a daily basis. Also, she and her husband have their work schedules, meetings, etc.
sounds like a great application for the calendar! If you wanna check out a great tablet that helps boost kid's independence and executive functioning skills try Goally! You can check us out on our channel, or head over to GetGoally.com
Couldn’t disagree more! I have 5 kids from 15 down to 1 year old. We have had skylight for about 6 months and use daily. Fingerprints are not an issue. Those games stuff for goally, no thanks. Enough screens at my house. Also it would always be lost. Get a Skylight.
Wasn't a comparison video, and thousands of families rely on their Goally (and the games too) for building independence and creating easy to follow routines! What works for you, may not work for others, so don't be so quick to judge :) we're glad you found a product that works well for your family! @@teamgibber
I'm going to buy it. The skylight website has a 10 inch version at $150 right now. I thought about an Ipad, but I just like the simplicity of this and I just need to see my calendar everyday easily. I have a hard time visualizing my week and dont like pulling up my calendar on iMac/phone everytime. Rather, I'd just like to walk by a tablet and see what I have for today, tomorrow, 7 days etc.
What a terrible observation that you would think this is for seniors! We are a busy family with multiple children participating in multiple sports in several different towns/ locations several times a week. We homeschool and do many other extracurricular activities outside of that. Our lives are incredibly busy and this works well for our family for that reason. Not to mention all the traveling we do. This calendar is targeted towards families that are on the go and need to streamline family life and communication and for everyone to be on the same page no matter where we are or what time it is. You totally missed the mark here, buddy.
Thanks buddy, we have mentioned in other comments that at the time their entire brand image was catered to elderly, and not to families. We're glad you found something that works for you, and if you already have it why are you watching product reviews? Just go use it
You missed the point. You clearly don't have multiple kids in multiple sports and then two full time working parents all juggling different schedules. Its a calendar hub for a family.
Missed the mark on the review. This is absolutely not geared towards elderly people and most certainly is not designed for children only. This is definitely a family item. 3 generation household here, all are users, from 6 years old to 83 years old!
So i get that you want folks to buy your goally thing app vs this technology.. but as a busy family this frame has really helped us stay on top of all our kids busy schedules and chores. Seniors are not the market for managing multiple schedules at all.
I’m looking for a calendar, I want to want this one but it doesn’t have a-lot of features for adults , over priced to me but it looks nice. if I had to choose between this and Amazon echo show 15 or a iPad I’d choose them first
Is the Skylight calendar a touchscreen or is just a basic display? Can you add events right from the Skylight or would you have to go to your app on the phone?
it's touchscreen and you can add from the tablet. They also have some add on membership where you can forward emails to your device and the app will automatically add it to the calendar.
You got the marketing totally wrong. This is for parents and families keeping track of appointments, events, tasks and chores. There's really nothing else like it on the market. You did them a disservice deeming it for senior citizens.
Understood! As we've mentioned at the time we bought it the marketing was entirely different then they are now! It seems their appearance on Shark Tank changed their strategy and we think it's a great product if it works for you!
What….. is this guy talking about 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is for families with lots of kids with lots of activities and actively involved parents who are also entrepreneur is for work for themselves and have a ton of stuff on their plate 🤣🤣 clearly you aren’t the target …

Just use your phone, you don’t need a tablet on your wall or desk. The entire thing is pointless.
@@jtfikeyou clearly don't have kids
For seniors? This is for families… why exactly would grandparents love it?
Agree
I think it is great for a busy family. I definitely dont think it's just for seniors.
Yea we're realizing more and more how its a useful product and even integrating some of their ideas into our own Goally tablet!
This isn’t just for seniors. My kids are busy. I love the chore component as well as my younger kids who don’t have phones can see the daily schedule
It seems like a great product!
Was thinking this guy let's his wife do all the planning for the house
Great for an adhd individual or family ❤
we think so too!

Exactly what we use it for - to coordinate the calendars of 3 adults and 2 very active kids - it's a lifesaver!!!
ah we love that for you! @@craigsheldon7607

This would probably work really well for someone who has adhd and needs help organizing and remembering things
we think so too! nothing better than a big calendar!
That's why I'm looking into it myself!
oh nice!@@elise8116

No Justin, you're right. I actually don't have any kids. Fair points you make tho! We're glad it works for you
Wish this was a more in depth review as far as going over its features in detail and why it may be beneficial for families
That's completely fair, we'll do better next time!
Missed the mark on the review. This is absolutely not geared towards elderly people and most certainly is not designed for children only. This is definitely a family item. 3 generation household here, all are users, from 6 years old to 83 years old!
Yea we've discussed this in some comments already - they've really switched up their strategy and we think it's a cool product!

that's an interesting take! We hope you find what you're looking for!
I just purchased an Echo 15. It’s terrible at the things I want. Chore chart and meal planning charts. I’m gonna return the Echo 15 and purchase this.
Sounds like a good plan!

Ourfamilywizard does this.
Nearly 100 apps on the AppStore does this.
Did anyone else catch the fact that 120 days isn't 3 months...
That's a valid point!
Wth? They better be offering me insurance for a freakin 300 dollar device.
it is quite the pricey calendar!
It should be sold to families....
It seems like it's been working great for families!
You didn't even show any features. What kind of review is this?
well thanks for that condescending comment! to be fair, there aren't many features on a calendar...
@@GoallyAppswell, for a review of a calendar, you'd think you would show the calendar part. Just my opinion.
@@TheWatchtower1they don’t want you to see the product. They want to sell you their goally tablet.
Yeah, I was interested in this until I found out you have to have a subscription. At that price point? No.
It is asking for a bit much we kinda agree!
You don’t have to have a subscription unless you want specific features.
I bought this for my millions of photos
ooh what a great idea! gotta love seeing memories pop up!
I wanted to buy one of these for my daughter but….
What….. is this guy talking about 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is for families with lots of kids with lots of activities and actively involved parents who are also entrepreneur is for work for themselves and have a ton of stuff on their plate 🤣🤣 clearly you aren’t the target …
okay!
Your review is horrible. Your opinion is not even relevant to the product and what it used for.
$320 for a calendar that you already have on your phone. He was too kind.
worse review. for seniors? well aint you special
Woohoo!
