Yoto: Music, Stories, Sleep

It's a super frustrating app. I'm not sure where they drempt up the UX conventions, but file navigation and directory content editing has been well understood for so long that creating something novel is unnecessary and pointless. There is little intuitive here, and it really feels like they've done their best to be unique. Big software companies spend millions of dollars a year ensuring their UIs are easy to use, Yoto did not.

It is a great app, but it sometimes makes my phone unusable. For some reason, it sometimes starts randomly making my phone vibrate relentlessly, and no matter how many times I close out the app, it opens itself back up and continues to make my phone vibrate. I have to actually manually restart my phone (if I can even get that far, every time it vibrates, it opens the app and closes out what I was doing). Other than this bug, the app is great.

when tapping a card to the phone, the app keeps reading it over and over instead of just once, making the user experience a bit frustrating. Please fix this so it doesn't constantly read the card and just does it once. Edit - to be clear. I am placing the card to the phone. Typical RFID/NFC apps will register a hit and stop "scanning" for another tag. The yoto app doesn't. It will keep pinging for as long as the card is next the phone. Try it for yourself. You have to remove the card super fast
