App Issues FOR MONTHS NOW!!! VOL IS MAKING ME VERY MAD

1.) My Yoto no longer automatically shuts itself off after the set time in the app. It’s been months. It goes to sleep, but does not power off.
2.) The volume limit in the app settings is not working correctly. I’ve always had the night volume max limit at 14. Recently (last 2 weeks) I needed to increase it by 1 to 15. It worked. Setting and in the story could go to 15. Recently I’ve noticed it’s only at max of 15 for the stories when it feels like it. I just went into the settings. It still says 15, but when you play the story it will only let you go to 14!? I played multiple stories to test it & still the same thing. I closed & reopened the app. Still not working. I raised it to 16. Still will only go to 14 during a story. I lowered it to 12. The story did lower & max at 12! I raised it back up to 15 & 16. Same thing happened. The story only has max limit of 14 even when I set it to 15 or 16. Need an app fix please!!!! NOW!!!!!!!
*I don’t know if these issues are from the app or mine is malfunctioning. It’s 2.5 yrs old.
**I wrote this review months ago. It is now 10/29/26!!! Updated bc the vol maxing at 14 when I now have it at 16 is unacceptable.

Useless for podcasts, especially BBC

I got this yoto thinking it would be a good way to get away from screen time. My son loves CBeebies bedtime and I thought the podcast would be a great alternative. I’ve only found out since purchasing that there is a known issue with ALL BBC PODCASTS. They don’t play on the Yoto. This has been talked about on message boards for A YEAR and it still hasn’t been fixed! No effort made. I wish I had known this before I purchased this useless brick

Yo-yo

A great app

Lacking Standard Features

This app doesn't keep your place when you pause and the app stops running. You have to find the story and remember where it left off.

I actually sent feedback to Yoto suggesting features like "Pick Up Where You Left Off", and they requested that I pitch the idea to other customers and get them to vote. Your customers are not your product managers.

The device is good. The app UI is a wreck.

An experienced designer with fresh eyes needs to be brought in to design the app from a fresh start. This app is a train wreck.
