The first Yoto apps
The companion apps for the first Yoto audio player for children: Wi-Fi setup, pairing and NFC cards.
- Years
- 2018 to 2019
- Platforms
- iOS and Android
- Role
- Sole iOS developer, and Android alongside Ed Price, in the product's early days.
The brief
A screen-free audio player for children only works if a parent can get it on the Wi-Fi without any fuss. The app was the part of the product that had to make that easy.
Where it stands
Yoto has since grown into a well-known family brand. These were its first apps; its own team runs the app today.
The hard parts
- Wi-Fi provisioning and device pairing.
- NFC card scanning.
- Accounts and sign-in through Auth0.
