A:AnswerI have not explored what apps are available through the free time, but I have installed spotify (free version) where you can access nearly any genre or artist. They have some really great kids channels where there are covers of classic rock prepared for little guys/gals.
A:AnswerIt comes with a year's subscription of Free Time Unlimited, which gives you access to a ton of Apps for free. They aren't pre-loaded so you'll have to download them off wifi. Not a huge deal for most kids as once one app Downloads, they can play the downloaded one as the others download and install in the background.
A:AnswerCompatible or comparable? Compatible? NO... Different brands, different software. Comparable? It is similar and they do ultimately the same thing but this has the better battery and better warranty.
A:AnswerThis will work! My kids are 8 and 10, and these devices are the best ones we have had yet. We have the nabi dreamtabs, they were very juvenile, and regular tablets, that were too succeptible. These are perfect. The parental control are user friendly and they connect nicely with my Amazon account for videos and tv. The games are level appropriate for the kids. Very educational. Recommend.
