Getting the Skylight Calendar up and running is pretty straightforward. When you take it out of the box, you just hook it up to your Wi-Fi and it syncs with your calendars without a hitch. This makes life easier for folks who want all their scheduling in one spot—not too shabby for busy families.

But here's something to keep in mind: if you want all the bells and whistles, like the photo slideshow, you'll need a Skylight Plus subscription. This does mean extra costs, which some people aren't thrilled about. Without it, the calendar is mostly just good for organizing schedules and chores. This could be a letdown if you're hoping to display photos right away.

The subscription isn't only about pictures, though. It includes features like Magic Import (automatically turns emails or PDFs into events) and beefs up meal planning options beyond the basic dinner planner. Some folks think these extras are worth the subscription if you're planning to do more than just basic scheduling.

From what we found, most people love how sleek and easy the calendar is to set up, but opinions are mixed on whether the subscription cost is worth it over time. Especially if you're really into the photo feature, it's worth thinking about this ongoing expense.

Overall, the Skylight Calendar is a solid choice for organizing family life, with its easy calendar integration.

But if you're mainly interested in it as a digital photo frame, be prepared for the subscription cost, which might feel like a bit much given the device's price.
