Yoto: Music, Stories, Sleep

The new CarPlay app is a welcome addition, but it is a bit buggy - it quite often crashes / doesn’t load / doesn’t show book covers etc. Also, the app really needs the ability to download books to be able to play them when there’s no internet signal. Driving in remote Australia recently meant we couldn’t listen to the Yoto in the car as there was no signal. Love the Yoto and and new CarPlay, it just needs some work.

Love that I can control the yoto mostly from the app. It’s great to be able to adjust the volume limit by the app but would be even better if I could adjust the volume more temporarily using it. I like the have it louder at the beginning of the night then quieter once asleep. Then the following night I have to adjust it again. Would be an easy fix!

This product and app are the pinnacle of stupid “smart” object design. The most basic features are poor, such as white noise that stops and resets every ten minutes. The app doesn’t remember settings, has constant connectivity issues, and all of this for a product that is essentially a poor imitation of a tape deck. ‘How did this get made?’ I wonder to myself every time I see it

We absolutely love our Yoto. Since making our purchase, we have submitted feedback for various ideas and things we would like to see as part of an update to both the app and the player in the future; customer service teams on all platforms are a delight to chat to, are polite and informative and seemed to genuinely appreciate customers getting on board to submit ideas! Our child loves the Yoto and I personally enjoy tinkering around with its different options and set ups, Make Your Own card and streamlining functionalities. I am fascinated by this politely innovation product the slots right in amongst our Montessori environment. Keep up the great work guys!

EDIT: We ended up having to use a different platform (android) to find the yoto daily podcast, then add it to the library. Only then was it accessible on the iPad app. As to adding new Wi-Fi networks, support was not helpful. They had no suggestions that we hadn’t already tried. I suspect the underlying issue is the internal component that emits the temporary WAP is very cheap, and so becomes unstable very easily. ORIGINAL: Only archived episodes are available. Since it is now impossible to add new Wi-Fi networks, we have to use the app to play Yoto daily, but that no longer works on the iPad app. It’s not under podcasts, featured or browse, and doesn’t show up in search

Forcing a selection here to phone seems unecessary.

This is a super cool idea, but every time I travel (which is the main time we would want it) nothing seems to load and it’s not really usable

It is cool

Hey Yoto can you add hotel mode please

Equals good
