I'm about to post the Skylight Max Review shortly, but the main thing is that the Hearth Display is just a bit more refined. They did the hard work of changing small things, like the default Android Keyboard, to make it really feel like it's refined. The Hearth Display is also designed more for kids, which is super helpful for us.
My Hearth arrived this week!! Loving it so far. 100% agree about rotating pictures! That should be an upcoming update. How do I sync my work calendar so I see it but they don’t have to? Is Hearth customer service helpful?
Fantastic! You sync your work calendar like any other and then toggle them on or off by clicking on the little triangle-thing on the top right of the display.
Can you share how the reminders work on calendar events? What are the options - do the reminders just display on the Hearth or can it email/text/show up on the your phone via the app? And - are reminders only available for calendar events or are they availability for to-do's as well?
@@WeTriedIt Thanks for the time to respond! Yes - kind of like 5 minutes before or 24 hours before or whatever - but mainly I was hoping the notifications would show up on the user's phone if they had the companion app installed - less important o me that they show on the display itself.
Link for the comparison to Skylight max? Trying to pull the trigger since Hearth is on Black Friday sale but nervous if I should get it vs skylight? Big purchase and don’t want to make wrong choice

Little hint for your channel - we don’t want to see you or banana animations, we really want to see the calendar. You’re over editing your videos! Try to keep It simple and focus on the content. Instead of showing us the day, week and month screens you actually covered the WHOLE screens with animations!!!! 🤦♂️
Why did you choose this over the skylight max?

Thanks for this complete review! Is there a space to show the meals for each day for everyone to see what’s for dinner etc?
We put those in as all day appointments.

And customer support is fantastic!
Pretty Cool

I couldn’t find a way for reminder to show up on the calendar itself.
Like 5 mins before an event?

Great content. But way too many graphics. Love your stuff. Thanks
Thanks for watching! I'm still working on finding the right balance with the graphics.
One idea is to move the graphics to the side (or cover yourself so it doesn’t cover the main thing you’re reviewing. Regardless great content!

Thanks for feedback. I'll tone it down in the next one.
No dark mode? Fail
