Great basic Android
I have owned my Insignia Flex 8 Android Tablet about two months. It is an easy-to-use, basic Android tablet. Color resolution and clarity are very good. Sound quality is not Bose/Bang-Olafsen level but it is somewhat better than average for a tablet (use with a Bluetooth speaker for greater listening pleasure). Screen loads are reasonably fast for standard use but may not be considered impressive by serious gamers. Users of all ages should find this tablet is great and reliable for general use. I bought this as a replacement when my original tablet finally stopped working and I have been very satisfied with my purchase. What I didn't anticipate was how convenient it would be to have my tablet syncing with my smartphone (my previous tablet was not Android). It made setup of the Insignia much easier as most of the apps on my phone were added to the tablet in moments. Synchronizing of my calendar is quick and easy, also. The only reason I give this 4 out of 5 stars is that it is not a large storage/muscle tablet that I would use as my primary computer. That said, I did not buy it for use as my all-around computer. If it were possible to award half stars, I would add a half star (or even 3/4 star) to give it a higher rating.

Very slow
I purchased two Insignia tablets and within one month the charger wouldn't stay in and the tablet wouldn't hold a charge even when the cord was held in place. The tablet was slow and didn't work well.

Great tablet for the price!
I love this tablet! I'm using it to write this review! It's my first one. I bought it on sale for $70 but would definitely pay the full price of $100. The battery lasts quite sometime even though it does take a while to charge. It is very reliable and easy to use. My only complaints are that it takes quite a bit to turn on and the front facing camera is not a great quality. For the price this is a great tablet! Just be aware that it's larger than most 8" tablets and the universal 7-8" cases don't seem to work with it. I would suggest getting a case made specifically for it, which I got on eBay for pretty cheap.

Best Buy tablet ever
I really like this tablet. Its so easy to use, lots of cool apps, perfect size to take with you, plenty of space for memory and storage. The price is great too and you can add more storage in the cloud. I recommend this tablet to any one.

Good bang for the buck.
Considering I have several tablets, Samsung and some high end ones. I knew not to expect anything grand from this tablet. When it's on sale for $80 or so its very worth the money, normal $100 price its not bad. This is a great tablet for simple things, watching movies, playing games etc and that's exactly why I bought it. Also to have extra storage or whatever you need. IF you need high performing results, don't expect it. The battery life when Wifi is on + combined while playing say, clash of clans will drain the battery in a matter of 2 hours if not less. Its a power hog. So my use is, keep it at home, use wifi in short periods and mostly have stuff downloaded on it to play games or watch videos etc. Sometimes the wifi is iffy, it's not that it loses connection, it's more or less that is seems to have trouble with data transfer on certain games (buffering, lagging etc). So get it on sale for $80 or so, and expect an average tablet that will do a lot of basic things and most medium tasks. But if you want crisp graphics/video, long lasting battery you should invest in a $300 tablet.
