See different Hearth Display Screen options, views of the web-app you can use on phone or tablet. Nice features and things I wish it did, but doesn’t! Honest review from just a normal person trying to stay organized!
Thanks! Got one for my wife for Christmas and I’ve been curious about real-world reviews. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
I'm excited to see what updates and changes they make to it! ❤ Thanks for your honest review
You are so welcome!
Awesome video! Thank you so much!!
Thanks for your honest review I'm looking forward to receiving one next month. Have any of updates been made that you wished to have in the unit?
Awesome video thank you so much!!! This helped me realize I’m not splurging yet bc of the shopping list! But I love these aesthetics of the hearth
The shopping list feature will be nice. Using to-do’s in the meantime isn’t bad at all. I kinda like that I can have separate to-do’s for separate shopping lists. Like a general one, one for Sprouts, one for Costco, one for Trader Joe’s, etc.
@@brenckellh6842Did you look at the Starlight one from Costco? It has the grocery list feature, but it is much smaller
Thanks for the emoji tip!
Thank you!
Great review. very detailed. on the waitlist... helped a lot to make a decision to get it when it's available.
How does this compare to skylight calendar?
Skylight is tiny. It’s like the size of a picture frame. I see a lot of reviews where it sits on the kitchen counter. This is much bigger and finger friendly, in my opinion. I can’t speak to the capabilities, but there’s videos out there. The form factor alone made skylight a no-go for me.
Awesome review, thanks! I liked your tip for using emojis. Are they accepting feedback for suggested new features? I would really need lists too.
They have a page on their website that shows all the requested features, and a roadmap that shows what they're working on prioritized. They do accept feedback, yes. After I bought mine I was invited to provide feedback and I did it via a phone call.
@@brenckellh6842I don’t think they’re doing this anymore unless I’m lost on their website.
Do you have to type everything on the wall?
Not exactly. They have an app and you can do everything on the app and it shows up on your wall calendar. So you can do it on your phone, tablet, pc, etc.
Thanks for the review.. for a product released in 2023 going into 2024 it looks poorly executed. The concept is great and looked promising but the laggy functionality and “web app” ilo a native iOS app leaves little to be desired. Also there is a trial for the cloud subscription after which there is a monthly cost around that of a Netflix subscription..
why would you assume the laggy functionality is tech and not circumstance in this person's home?
I can’t agree that it’s “poorly executed” because there’s really nothing to compare it to. There is nothing that is similar to this form factor, ease of use and provides features for an entire family. Also the monthly subscription is basically the cost of a Starbucks beverage. I’ll gladly pay that to be able to text events to my calendar, which I do quite frequently, it’s so nice. Sounds like you work in this industry.
Lack of shopping list is a biggg fail
Thanks for the review.
Did they allow to truncate in the box now?
No.. I don’t think this is near the top of priorities 😂. It probably doesn’t even bother some people. It’s more of a nit.
Would love to hear how has it been, now you spent some months with it
Still very happy with the purchase. I’m excited to see the features on their roadmap. My family has started using it, they resisted at first but now they’re seeing how easy it is to add events and the instant relief that it’s no longer in your head or in an email or in a post-it note.
@@brenckellh6842 Do you have to buy one to get the roadmap? That's my biggest concern, not knowing what is coming b/c I can already see what something like the Skylight calendar has.
Thanks for the detailed review! I'm waiting for mine (they said November...) and I'm glad to see people actually getting them. What was your rough order number? I'm in the 5500 block and curious when I can expect it.
I’m not sure but I placed my deposit in April 2023 and it shipped in September.
Hi! Thanks for the review. Is there a limit to the number of calendars? We're a bigger family so we'd have 7 or 8 calendars. Is that possible or does it limit the number of calendars?
As of December 2023 you can add up to 8 total members in the family! Not sure what it was prior but they sent an email out announcing that as a new feature.
Worth the price & the wait?
Yes, the wait flew by. The price is definitely an investment but I’m the type of person that will pay for convenience. I work full time, and parent so if something is going to save me time and stress I typically lean into that :)
Th for the video. Does it beat a outlook family calendar?
I’ve only used outlook at work. I’ve never used it personally bc I have a MacBook and my husband hates apple. A family calendar (electronically) has always been a struggle..
Hi is there a way to show your weekly meal plan, grocery/restock list, laundry schedule?
I supposed you could use the calendar to show your weekly meal plan by just putting it in the calendar. Laundry schedule I'm guess it depends what you mean, you can assign people tasks if it's their turn to do laundry, or again put it in the calendar. They have actual grocery list feature in their feature request roadmap, but the way I get around it us using a to-to and listing my items there, I can access it from my phone when I'm at the store.
Can you use it as an E-frame and pictures?
You can set one image as your wallpaper. This will come on if you have privacy mode on. But you can't upload multiple photos and expect it to cycle through, No. It doesn't work like an e-frame.
Can you set it up to make a sounds or alarm when it’s time to perform a certain task? Or event?
As of now no, but mobile notifications and alarms (like on your phone) is on their roadmap currently in design.
Can you import existing google and or outlook calendars?
Yes. When you go to add calendar the options right now are google, apple and outlook. There’s also a “subscribe via URL” option but not sure what that is.
does it have a companion iOS app?
It has a web app. I have screenshots of the web app in this video. An iOS app is in development according to their roadmap.
How is the display now? Any new features or updates? Curious about some more advance features. Does it let you connect a Microsoft calendar (to show my work calendar since wfh)
You can connect a google calendar, apple calendar or outlook calendar. Those are the options I see when I try to connect a new Calendar. There’s been 4 rounds of updates since I got it in Sept. The new features of note (to me at least) are there is a weather widget now that is always on at the top of the screen even when I’m screensaver mode. Gives your current temps, and if you tap it, it will show you a week forecast. There is increase in family size, up to 8 max. You can filter calendars, so you can hide certain calendars from the view.
@@brenckellh6842 thanks! Seems it just runs on Android. I currently use Dakboard (free) hooking a raspberry pi to a monitor.
Hard to justify this price tbh. May wait a bit longer
You answered my question on family size! Awesome and thanks for this fantastic review
Is there a phone app that allows you to add tasks and events to the calendar?
Yes, there is a companion web-app for cell phones. I inserted some screen shots of it in the video. You can add events and to-do's from it.
What is the cost?
600
@@danielbracht669 600 USD you mean
No voice command?
No, it doesn’t have a voice to text feature. If you’re using the app on your phone then of course yes, you can do that.
Is there a monthly charge to use this?
Currently no monthly charge
Okay after 3 months I did get a $9 charge for the hearth helper (ability to text your calendar). I enjoy that feature so I’m not going to cancel it.
What is the warranty on it?
I’m not sure but I would look at their return policy, it might touch on it there.
