Yoto: Music, Stories, Sleep

It's a nice looking app. but it needs more controls. there should be a proper "bedtime" or "clock only" mode that basically stops kids from turning stories back on in the middle of the night. I will set a 15min countdown timer, which stops playback. they just reinsert the card and carry on!! a gradual volume fade wouldn't go amiss either. Podcasts also need sorting, they never play for more than 2 minutes before randomly stopping.

We love our Yotos, and theoretically it is nice being able to play our content on the app and not just on the Yoto. But in practice, the app has always had issues. The biggest issue currently (spring '25) and that the app doesn't do pausing very well. much of the time, after pausing, it won't respond to trying to play again.

We are having so much trouble with our latest player and cards. The player will be playing but when I find it on the app it says it's offline. When we try to play certain cards it says we need Internet for the card. When ai try to connect the player it won't work. What is even worse, it is almost impossible to get tech support for this issue. I think the latest version has some major flaws.
