Listen from app
The Toniebox has been a must have for our kiddo for almost two years now, one of THE best purchases! I do agree with another reviewer that purchased tonie content should be streamable, as we have big crocodile tears over here after the speaker was left at the grandparents’ and tonie listening is a bedtime must :(.

Still waiting
Nothing like a children’s toy that doesn’t work without app, which also won’t work without registration. I’ve been sitting here for 15 minutes waiting for a confirmation email about my new account. Checked the junk folder, checked the email (by trying to login) and confirmed neither are the issue. So I guess I’m waiting for the longest email transmission of 2022. Don’t worry it’s early so I’m sure someone else will surpass, but my kids hovering around me while I wait is just a fun experience. Do yourself a favor and take your gift receipt and return this, it’s junk.

Terrible app
The app doesn’t work and is very difficult to navigate. I’ve tried to set up the box many times and each time the application can’t complete it due to the app not being fully functional. Seems like a simple device that doesn’t require an overly complicated app, but the folks at tonies must not agree.

Wish we could stream songs from app
Love the tonie box and the tonies with their songs. One feature I wish the app had was the ability to stream the songs from the app once you’ve purchased the tonie. My son’s tonie box got left behind at his grandparents and he listens to the nighttime songs at bedtime. It would have been nice to be able to stream the songs from the app until we got the box back. We also wouldn’t have to lug the speaker when traveling (since it’s not the most portable thing in the world).

Authentication issues
I can log into the website at will. I’ve logged myself out and back in to the website several times, manually typing in the correct email and password each time. If I use that same email address and password it fails authentication every time on the app so I cannot even set up a new Tonie. I’ve tried two separate iPhones and both apps fail. Application authentication needs some work.

No App-to-Device Connection
We’ve followed all the steps to connect the Tonie to the wifi and the phone app to the Tonie.
The device shows up on the app, but we cannot control it. The volume does not alter.
I also don’t like that we can’t skip tracks or turn the device on/off from the app.

Where has this been!?
After a visit to our neighborhood toy store for a much deserved reward… my twins stopped and gazed on with wonder on a red box with characters they could place on top which started a narrator reading a story or music! Then another parent came in with her daughter to pick out a “Tonie” character. We’ll long story short we left with the Tonie box and the witch from Room on the Broom story.
After coming home I open up the box to find out there’s an app? You can record 90mi. Worth of read alouds, messages to my kids, music, or choose from the library of short stories and songs from the website!? My mind was 🤯!
The app is extremely polished and is easy to navigate. Both the software and hardware are ready for prime time!! My 3yo twins got their hands on it as I showed them how to skip through stories and fast forward or remind and their minds were just as 🤯!
The Tonies box itself is awesome… the characters is genius, and the app is a bow that is perfectly tied on the coolest device we have come across!
Everything is easy to set up record and play!!

OMG. How creative!
Absolutely excellent! How very creative and cute! I’m sure my granddaughter is going to love it. I do! LOL! I purchased in November, as a Christmas present. I hope you keep creating more. And I absolutely love, love, love that we can create our own. (I hope it is as easy as the set up.) Can’t wait to see what’s next... always checking for new tonies. Thank you!

App needs a lot of improvement
Love the box, love the tonies but for the price, I would expect the app’s functionally to be much more improved and have features which allow you to control the playlist as well as volume from your phone while the tonie is playing.
Easy & Quick Set-Up 😀
The tonies app was easy and quick to download. Set-up was also clear. I’m an out of state Grandma, it’s a great way to connect with my granddaughter!
