  • 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!
  • 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.
  • Received as a gift and Live it!

    One of our daughters lives out of town and she thought this would be a great way for us to constantly see her family and our grands kids. Of course our intown daughter post pictures also. (They are very competitive)
    My wife and I never post pictures to avoid the optics of favortestm.
    We enjoy the random slide show of our kids and grandkids. Also it's a great conversation piece when we're hosting friends and parties. This way we're not one of those annoying grand parents that heem up people and force them to see pictures of our grandkids on our cell phone.
  • 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.
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • Brings family home.

    This was a gift to my husband and I from our children for Christmas 2021. I decided to purchase the subscription -at less than $4/month, it's worth it. I was able to see my grandson take his first steps 🎉because you can receive videos with sound with the subscription. Also, I'm pretty sure everyone can view the loaded photos through the app, not just me. I like how easy it is to send pics - am easy email vs always having to use the app with multiple steps like another brand. Absolutely e this frame. Brings my family home.
  • 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!
  • 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.)
  • 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
