Ratings and reviews

Previously it was extremely easy to select a card and play it on the actual player, from your phone/the app. However something has changed in the UI and now it will show "nothing is playing" even after the card has started. It's incredibly frustrating that the app is so much less useful than it used to be.

functional but the audio player could use improvements, particularly when it comes to looping morning and evening sounds. There's a discrete gap/lull between the tracks, even when they're playing on repeat which most other streaming apps, such as Spotify, have long resolved. It's a little thing but when the munchkin is trying to fall asleep to nature sounds, the constant pause between the tracks does become rather distracting.

It's a nice looking app. but it needs more controls. there should be a proper "bedtime" or "clock only" mode that basically stops kids from turning stories back on in the middle of the night. I will set a 15min countdown timer, which stops playback. they just reinsert the card and carry on!! a gradual volume fade wouldn't go amiss either. Podcasts also need sorting, they never play for more than 2 minutes before randomly stopping.
