What do reviewers say about the Skylight Calendar?
SlashGear hands-on testing found Sidekick imports accurate across email, PDF, PNG and handwriting, but noted setup guidance, profile-merging and customization limitations. A second hands-on reviewer, nine months into daily use of a 15-inch unit, reported no glitches in the display or the app and found setup easy — the two testers disagree on setup, and the one who found it hard was the one syncing an existing calendar.
