Does the job
|Posted .We caved out of pure exhaustion and purchased Our 10 yr old son who just had to have it because its soooo unfair that other kids his age have iPhones and iPads, mac books, Nintendo switch, ps4, xbox one, etc and he doesn't and like who doesn't buy their kids items that cost 100s of dollars, like totally! So we are the absolute worst most uncool parents ever because he didnt have such luxuries. So we got him this. Keeps him busy and I won cool points . TADA!!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Wanted a table that would allow a specific third party software to run. Also required a specific fit. My 7 inch kindle fire was a little small and my 10 inch kindle fire was way to big. This is exactly what I required.

Awesome intro type tablet decent speed great camer
|Posted .When I first picked this up I thought it would be kind of cheaply made but it's not there very nicely engineered, not slow at all for performance not too bad unless you want to do heavy-duty gaming but who does heavy duty Android gaming? (Half the Android Universe? Lol, no) Runs YouTube nicely, my only real caveat, (and it is a prett big one) is you cannot access the Google play store, since in it it's an Amazon product they want to require you to use the Amazon app store alone for your Android shopping needs, but unfortunately I don't think I've ever seen anything on the Amazon app store that the Google Play store didn't have and there's plenty that the Amazon app store doesn't have that's on the play store, but there are workarounds for this on the internet which you can find Natalie on the internet, though I don't think you should have to... biggest thing I would mention and it is a really really big one because this is a tablet and not like a big hefty notebook or laptop it's bound to get broken sooner or later somewhere, somehow. ALWAYS get the Best Buy protection plan - it's always worth it eight or nine months in with my red one and somebody leaned on it with their hand and cracked the screen. ;( Best Buy replaced it with a brand new one, no-questions-asked, thanks to the (IMHO) very worthy $20 protection plan I purchased. They're always great service for that. Didn't get "Red" but - ce' la vie...

Q: QuestionIs it Wi-Fi ready and front and back camera 16 gbs and Android
Asked by Suzy.
- A:Answer Yes, it is WiFi ready, but the camera is only a poor 2 megapixels. It takes very bad pictures, even in good light. And you can forget taking any pictures in low light. If you want a tablet with a good camera, you need to search the internet (and pay much more). Also, DO NOT get any tablet with less than 2GB memory. I have the 8in 2017 tablet with only 1.5GB mem, and it runs slow now because newer apps eat more resources.
