Hearth Display review

Hearth Display is a large touchscreen built for families with children, and its strongest feature is routines. Morning and evening checklists show on the screen so kids can work through them without reminders, and to-dos make household work visible to everyone. Calendars sync from Google Calendar, iCal and Outlook, the companion app handles reminders and lists away from home, and meal planning can suggest a week of dinners with a grocery list. Hearth Helper, an SMS assistant, adds events from a photo of a paper calendar or from school email, with suggestions you approve. Pricing has two parts. The display lists at $699, and a Family Membership is required to set it up, at $9 a month, $86.40 a year or less on multi-year plans; the vendor says there are no other add-ons. That makes it the costliest pick here, and its value score reflects it. A 120-day home trial lowers the risk for families unsure about a wall screen.
