As a dedicated tester of digital wall calendars, I've found the Greenlight Hub to be increasingly impressive, especially now that it's on sale at its lowest price yet.
Greenlight's approach differs from typical digital wall calendars. The company initially launched a debit card for kids, then expanded into app-based features like chore tracking for allowance and family location sharing. The Greenlight Family Hub device consolidates these features, adding a digital calendar similar to popular options like Skylight.
Ahead of Black Friday, the 15.6-inch Greenlight Hub I tested is discounted by $100, now priced at $199, making it significantly more affordable than other recommended digital calendars that usually retail for $300 or more. A smaller 10.1-inch model is also available for $169 after a $30 price cut.
The Hub's main feature is its family calendar, which displays everyone's schedules in one place. It also includes sections for chores and family locations, and can function as a digital photo frame without extra cost. Family location sharing and access to Greenlight's voice assistant require a subscription to the Family Hub+ plan.
The Greenlight Family Hub is a solid device, particularly beneficial for parents aiming to monitor their children's chore completion, with the option to link allowances. Its modern, stylish icons and gender-neutral design stand out from the pastel interfaces of competitors like Skylight, and it avoids the distinctly Android feel of some cheaper alternatives.
Overall, the Hub excels as a digital photo frame, calendar, and even a voice assistant. This significant sale presents an ideal opportunity to acquire a functional and stylish digital wall calendar for your family before the holidays, or as a thoughtful gift for others.
