Hi, we’ve just discovered the really awesome Dreaming for a Jet Plane app. I had no idea things like this were possible on Yoto. Does anyone have any other suggestions of unique card ideas that use Yoto in interesting ways?
Is er een verschil qua bass tussen de grote en de kleine yoto speler?
I’m considering getting a Yoto for my son. I’ve already made some playlists in the Yoto app and am pretty convinced we’ll strictly use MYO cards :) how many MYO cards do you recommend for this set up?
edit to add: I will be swapping the content of the cards out regularly
Hi! My kiddo has used his toniebox for over 3 years and it’s starting to have issues. That aside, I’ve been wanting to get into the yoto world. I saw one on marketplace for $125. It comes with a 2nd gen yoto in a green protective sleeve, the charger and 20+ cards. The lady posted a video of all the cards and plugging one in to show that it works.
I see a new gen 3 is around $110 and cards can be expensive, so I’m wondering if this would be a good deal?

TL,DR: I wanted to replace my son's Yoto Mini Screen; the resources below helped!
Helpful Article: Yoto Mini SD Card Replacement (There is also this youtube video showing how to replace an SD card without removing the screen, but I needed to remove the screen)
Note: I followed what a comment said and did not cut the pins on the bottom of the screen. I instead scraped a bit at the melted plastic so that it was small enough to push back through. This made it so that I could snap the pins back into place upon reassembly.
Helpful Reddit Comment: Yoto Mini Screen Replacement
Some things I didn't know:
- How to open the yoto past undoing the screws of the circuit board: To open it more, the front orange knobs have to be popped off and unscrewed. Using a small flathead screwdriver makes this easy. I also used needle-nose pliers to unscrew the hex nut, and then took out the washer. You can then gently push the knobs back through the plastic cover and it separates the circuit board from the cover
- Where to detach the screen from the circuit board: The little copper trace (flat wire path) can be gently pulled out of the white plastic pin header. The helpful reddit comment linked above was really what helped me visually see that. Otherwise I probably would have detached the pin header from the circuit board with too much force
The best parts: working through each step with my son, him holding a fingerlight to "help" (he cast more shadow than light but I didn't tell him), and lastly, my son's grin and our high five when we saw the replacement screen light up in his yoto.
Pics Explained: 1-his yoto turned on with no functional screen, notice water spot behind plastic cover; 2-disassembled first, now working on second; 3-front of circuit board with screen removed (upside-down because the knobs should be on top); 4-back of circuit board with screen removed (also upside-down); 5-disassembled broken yoto with black shavings from scraped melted plastic pins (speaker works intermittently, screen doesn't work, I will probably dispose of this one now); 6-assembled functional yoto, happy
Can someone help me figure out why I can’t find Zoey & Sassafras in the Yoto Club Collection on the Yoto app? Am I missing something?
(We upgraded to the Yoto Club today specifically to be able to listen to this content, but it’s not showing in our app. Now I’m questioning if I’m misunderstanding how Yoto Club works.)
In 'Hickory Dickory Dock' on the 'Row Your Boat and other Pre-School Songs' are they singing "the SNAKE ran up the clock, the clock struck two and down he flew" in the second verse?
I've tried googling the lyrics and can't find anything. It makes no sense. Snakes can't run. And what happened to the mouse??? Help me please, this is driving me nuts
Hey all, I'm looking at getting a Yoto Mini player bundle for my boys (6 and 4) and I was wondering if the Yoto club was worth it? I know it's only 5-17$ a month, depending on the tier, but I'm curious as to if you would actually recommend it and if so, which tier?
Is the 10% off discount at the store worth it? Do your kids prefer the digital to the cards or visa versa? Can you even buy physical cards off their website because I'm unsure how to tell which is a physical card and which is a download card and if it's download, how does that exactly work?
I have many questions lol
Do we think they’re going to learn at some point that the AI customer service email bots are completely useless? They have no ability to look hardly anything up, you have to explain everything like it’s the first time (even in the same email thread) every time you want an update.
I bought my daughter’s Yoto Mini in Feb, it stopped playing any audio whatsoever in June, Yoto had me send it back so they could send me a replacement, they received sometime in July and I haven’t heard anything. I sent them an email (like they asked me to do) once I mailed it back to let them know it was on its way. Got an AI response essentially saying ”I don’t know what you’re talking about but thanks for letting me know!”
It’s been a month since they received it and they still don’t have a clue what I’m talking about.
I am new to Yoto. If I buy the Collector membership for one month, get two credits, can I purchase a 10 pack of myo cards (since that costs two credits) then cancel my membership? I feel like I’m missing the catch.
We leave for a week long trip in 12 hours so I am looking for any/all suggestions to get this dang thing working.
2023: Got Yoto Mini for my son for Christmas. Built up a library of cards.
Saturday: Original Yoto Mini kicks the bucket. Knowing we have this trip coming up, I one-day a new one.
Sunday: New Yoto arrives in evening. I start setting it up immediately. Get it connected to Wifi and wait for it to start Downloading library. I check before bed and nothing has downloaded. Under My Player > Audio Download Status, it still says download has started, check back soon. Scour internet/Reddit and find that it will probably do it overnight.
Monday morning: Status has changed to show what is and isn’t downloaded. ONE card downloads and then it gets stuck on the next one.
Monday afternoon: I try hard reset, factory reset, plugging my phone in, confirming I’m on 2.4 ghz, making sure my phone is also on the 2.4 ghz one, removing long cards, eventually removing ALL but one card from my library, deleting/redownloading Yoto app, putting cards in while plugged in, not plugged in then plugging in. I don’t think hotspot will work well as I live in the country and my cell reception isn’t great. I do have high speed home wifi. I’m at my wits end! It’s now 7:30pm and we leave in 12 hrs.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Daughter put a bluey sticker on the back of her Yoto then wanted it off. We tried peeling it but there's still a lot left. Any ideas how I can safely remove the rest?
Hi! We had our new yoto mini for 3 days now and im still learning how it works. We have downloaded 4 playlists for offline use. Im just wondering if I add more audios in those downloaded playlist, do I have to plug in the yoto in the charger again for it to download the new audios? Or will it re-snyc automatically and i do not have to plug it in again, just keep the yoto open and keep idle? Thank you!
The question: Can/How do I replace the screen on a yoto mini?
We have had yoto minis for several years, so the versions we have, have given much life!
My son gave his yoto mini a bath several months back. We turned it off immediately, opened it up, and dried it out as best we could. The yoto mini plays audio just fine, but the display screen never lit back up again. This is mostly fine and he's happy with its functionality. Unless I need to reset it for some reason, it's not a terminal issue.
My daughter's speaker stopped working about a year ago. It continued to work only with headphones, which was functional enough. Now, however, it does not even work with headphones. Given that she's had it for a really long time, and we're about to embark on a cross-country road-trip, we happily invested in a new yoto mini.
Now that hers is essentially dead as an audio player, I was wondering if I could relatively easily put her screen into his yoto? I have removed all screws on the circuit board, but can't pull it off the yoto with mild force.
Has anyone disassembled a yoto down to all parts and can provide some guidance or wisdom?
Edit/Update: HERE
My daughter loves reading Milly Molly Mandy and were about to go on a cross country trip
Does anyone know where I can find a version of the audiobooks that I can download and put on her yoto player?
Thanks!
I plan on buying a second yoto for my second child. Am I eligible to use my friend's code even though it isn't my first player?
Also curious if I can use the code during the sale time. I want to get accessories for both my players.
I got a Toniebox 1 for my daughter for her first birthday and she loves it. We use it throughout the day, everyday. She loves music and playing with the characters. I've quickly become a bit addicted to acquiring the figurines and have amassed a large collection secondhand and on sale. However, I've heard the Yoto player is generally a preferred ecosystem (better value, easier to travel with, content ages better with older kids). Have you made the switch and when did you do so? Do you regret investing in the Tonie ecosystem first? Did your child have trouble letting go of the Tonie figurines?
The cards work but they fall out easily. Has my son shoved something down thus. Could you compare yours to see if it looks like this before i go poking?

And decided to have some fun with the label 😆
