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.

Unfortunately app is unusable, new WiFi credentials. The phone connects to the gen 2 yoto player via it's hotspot but once connected, during the yoto players WiFi scan, it doesn't display any SSIDs in the app. Either the Player is self is no longer able to perform the WiFi scan (bad firmware update?) or the Android apps connection flow has been broken in an update, let's hope it's the latter I'll try on iOS!

This app has never worked on any android phone I've had nor iphone on multiple yoto players. it connects you can change the vol, click a track, nothing or maybe it just plays some random track. I don't get how it can be this bad. It's borderline purposeful to force you to buy more physical cards. plus with all the poorly handled recalls it just feels yoto doesn't have any idea what they are doing. could be great but instead just frustrating and you'll end up just playing Spotify from your phone
