Great app, great player
Two small things I would wish for improvements: the red nightlight brightness doesn’t seem to change when I use the brightness adjustment slider, it always seems to stay bright for me. Secondly, I’d love to use this as a sleep/wake training clock but since I don’t want to reset the times twice a day to account for my kid’s nap and bedtime, I just use it for one of their bedtimes. But if this had a nap function, that would be amazing and I could get rid of my other training clock.

Many thanks for your feedback and ideas! On the first one, the brightness slider adjusts the brightness of the front display only. To adjust the brightness of the nightlight, rotate the right hand button when the nightlight is on. The second one has been mentioned by other customers and is under consideration for the future roadmap.
I feel like a better parent
We all benefit from it- My 2 year old loves having autonomy, listening to her stories and using the night light. We use the white noise with our 3month old. My husband and I feel like we are better parents with less screen time and calmer car journeys. I can also see there’s lots of room for growth with podcasts, radio stations and educational content for older children.
There are just two things I would love to change slightly -
1. Please please make it compatible with Apple Car Play. Although it works with Bluetooth, Car Play would be so much easier in the car. Other audio book apps have this and it’s a game changer.
2. The white/pink/brown noise sometimes restarts or stops altogether for no obvious reason. While it sounds very trivial, our baby immediately wakes up when this happens.
Regardless of this, we are converts. Thank you YOTO.

Thank you so much for your review and feedback. It's always good to hear how Yoto is helping parents, entertaining and educating children, and aiding sleep. We do have Car Play on our roadmap and we very much want to add this to a future app release. The sleep sounds content is looping content with a short gap between each loop and we're working to decrease and mitigate this delay in these sounds.
Great addition to learning and bedtime
Two improvements I’d make...
- the night light to work whilst it’s also sat upright so children can see the clock at the same time. Eg if it set to turn yellow in the morning, they can see it’s 7:00 at the same time.
- to be able to set morn/night lights to be different at weekends! Instead of having to remember to set them later manually.
The app has a glitch at the moment and won’t let me change the sleep/morning times, it just rolls back to the previous time and won’t save. so have just uninstalled and reinstalled to see if that fixes it.

Thanks so much for your feedback and ideas! I'll share these ideas with the team for consideration. Regarding setting the morning/sleep times, could you drop an email to hello@yotoplay.com and ask for Ed and we'll look into this for you to see what's happening to get it resolved.
Amazing design
Would that all products be held to the standards of the Yoto player.
Great app after I found the discovery page!
Wonderfully loved by all ages
Amazing player frustrating app
Response from developer
Hi, many thanks for the feedback. To respond to all of the points you've raised - we have systems in place to spot crashes which may happen from time to time and are few in number but we do fix up as soon as we spot them in time for the next release and we release frequently. I'm guessing that the source of your crash may be around linking cards? Could you drop us an email to hello@yotoplay.com and ask for Ed so that we can make sure that we are fixing specifically the crash that is affecting you, and so that you can let us know your other pain points that we can consider for future updates. Cards may be removed from your account to avoid small prying eyes (and can be re-added by scanning them in the phone or by playing them in a Player). To remove a card, tap on it in the app to show the card details, then tap the three dots menu at the top right and in the visible menu, choose "Remove from the app".
App is defective and support is slow

Hi, setting up an account shouldn’t prevent you from setting up. Drop us an email to hello@yotoplay.com and ask for Ed so we can give you some assistance.
Brilliant for bedtime
It’s surpassed expectations, I’d just love to see some of the retro stories especially Enid Blyton’s Famous Five which we listen to still on Apple Boos audio.
Great device and would recommend for any parent who’s kids love books
