Also, Skylight calendar wants you to make your Apple calendar public 😱 in order to connect it? Seriously, you want all your hospital appointments, date night plans, kids events, vacation trips (📢 hello home burglars) to be made public? SMH. With Mango Display you keep your calendar private and secure as it should be. Mango Display uses Apple approved secure and private direct calendar integration.
And on Skylight calendar, the only way you can view photos is as a screensaver? Which means that the calendar is covered until activated by touch. So, no calendar viewing until you go touch it? what if you want your photos as a background or next to your calendar? Nope, not possible with Skylight. Definitely possible with Mango Display.
Also, whats the deal with uploading photos to Sklylight app? what is this – 2008? Nah, with Mango Display you simply connect a Google Photo Album or Apple iCloud Photo Album. Add photos to the album anytime and it automagically gets displayed on Mango Display. You can also share the album with others and they can all add photos to it. No need to manage another app. Welcome to the future.
Mango Display supports two way calendar sync seamlessly and instantly. You can update your google, outlook or apple calendars directly from Mango Display if you like, or via the regular calendar Apps and see the updates on Mango. No matter how you do it, it keeps everything in sync.
Hardware Design
Why limit yourself to a single-purpose Skylight device when you could have Amazon echo show 21, which has a much better design to match your wonderful taste. And you get the added bonus of using Alexa or watching Fire TV when you are in the mood. You can have it all for way less than a Skylight calendar.
Software Design & Layouts
Do you want a Skylight 1990s inspired grid design calendar that looks like it belongs in a boring office 🤓, and not your wonderful inspiring house?
Or do you want to use Mango Display so you can have your calendar and family command center designed in your own unique way? Fun, exciting and full of joy, like your family! Something that they look forward to checking out every single day.
