Absolutely life changing!

Hey friends! If you are on the fence, just buy it, you will NOT be disappointed!

When I was choosing a digital calendar, I was cross-shopping the Skylight Calendar and the Hearth. While Skylight is nice, the Hearth just fit my family’s needs so much better. I knew I didn't want a tacky dry erase board or a basic chore chart stuck to my wall, and Hearth delivered the sleek, elevated look and functionality I wanted.

I honestly cannot brag enough on the Hearth team! I have ADHD, and this board is literally MY PERSONAL ASSISTANT. If you know, you know! There are so many features I am obsessed with:
Hearth Helper: An absolute lifesaver for effortlessly loading party invites, school lunch menus, school events, and family schedule items.
The New Countdown Feature: Yay!! I’m so excited about this addition!
Meal Planning & Recipe Storage: Keeps our weekly dinner plans organized and in one spot. (I don’t use it as much as I want to, but I’m working on it!)
Chore Tracking & Rewards: Keeps the kiddo motivated and accountable. (I have a strong willed child, so the rewards part is her favorite!)
Family Rhythm Summary: It basically grades our household dynamics, and I am here for it! ❤️

I also love the transparent feature update notifications! I know rolling out new tech takes time, testing, and patience, but every update makes this product even better. They were named one of TIME’s Best Inventions for a reason! 👏🏽

One suggestion for the team...Advertise more and keep collaborating with family-friendly brands! More people need to know about this product.

Thank you, Hearth team! You’ve made our home run so much smoother and my brain less chaotic! 💕

It doesn’t even let me sign in!

Scam

It seems odd that you pay a lot for the calendar that then wants you to subscribe to use its features. Seems like the price point of the calendar should come down significantly if they want to charge you monthly/annually just to use it. We have used basic features on ours because I refuse to get into another scam.

Helpful family calendar

This app is overall helpful in keeping our family organized and we like our huge hearth calendar screen it pairs with. However it is not the greatest. App. It is a little clunky and not the easiest to use. I also wish it offered widgets to display the calendar or to do list on the iPhone or iPad.

Needs more functionality

The app works, but lacks a lot of the functionality you see in other calendar apps. For example, being able to set multiple alerts for the same event. The “Add Location” option is also missing a lot of locations. I can add a specific address by typing it out manually, but searching for a business directly by name is surprisingly lacking.

What would make this app most useful for me is the addition of a widget. I mostly use widgets on my phone for my most commonly used apps. I can see the calendar information in the Apple calendar app, but there is no easy way to open up an event directly to edit it in the Hearth app.
