I bought one and then another one . I have been trying a lot of cheap tablets just to see how they compete with high end tablets . This one so far it's the best of the best . Quality and price wise. I mean 50 dollar ? Really ? I feel like I'm getting paid to take it home . Amazing product you won't be disappointed . Screen is not that good but then again , 50 dollars ? Buy it !!!! Give it a spin you won't be disappointed its very fast for such a small tablet .

I was looking for a basic tablet for normal use - games and music - and this tablet answered my need and to top it up fit my budget as well. I bought this during the thanks-giving season this year and is worth the price I shelled out. Bestbuy as usual shipped it in time and free shipping was just an icing on the cake :-). Would recommend this to anyone.

I bought mine in store, I like having what I buy right away, so I didn't feel the need to buy it online, maybe that is why other people may have had a screen problem, could have been during the shipping process because who knows how well the shipping company treats the packages.
I use it mainly for watching netflix, and reading books. I love it, feels like I have a kindle, and whats great about it is that its more than just a kindle so I can do more with it. I already have an iphone, and a huge laptop so I won't be using it for like everything like other people may need it for. So it is worth the price because before I was never planning on buying a tablet because I felt like they were expensive and since I already have a phone and laptop I didn't need it but when this came out I was finally happy to find a tablet that the brand is well known and popular.

I purchased 2 of these tablets for my kids for Christmas. They seem to like it and the quality is really good for a less expensive tablet. Amazon also offers games for free that usually cost money, so they are able to get more games as I am not one to buy games on devices. It only has 8g memory but I purchased a micro SD card for both for more storage. It's fairly easy for the kids to navigate. Overall it's a great tablet for the price.

I purchased this to read books and check out ebooks from the library. I love it and it's easy to use. This is in color and you can even play games on it. It's small enough to fit in my purse so while I'm at appointments I can read and if my son gets board, he can play games.

My kids (10 & 11) both got one of these for Christmas and they have been attached to it since opening it. Great for all the games they like and watching Netflix and it was a fairly priced device which are all the reasons we got them. Not sure if it has everything an adult would want in a mobile device since I didn't get it for me but my kids sure do seem to love it so I can definitely say I recommend this for a young child.

It's a $50 tablet, you're not going to get all the bells and whistles. We got it for my toddler daughter to load apps, games and movies to take with her in the car/out to eat. You may already know that it does not come with standard Google apps so you cannot use your gmail to use apps from the Play store. There are workarounds found on YouTube that you can load Google apps through a 3rd party, and I easily did that but found that even those workarounds do not work for the Movies/TV app, so we can't watch any of her purchased movies on this which was the main objective. Apps and games load from your gmail fine so that is what she is now using it for. For $35 on Black Friday I guess it is still worth it. Just really wanted her movies on it.
The UI is very basic and promotes purchases everywhere. The lock screen advertisement is obnoxious but I guess they have to make their money somewhere. I took all the bloatware Amazon apps that you can't delete and put them into a single folder to make it less cluttered with junk that my daughter wouldn't need. Also helping to avoid involuntary purchases. The camera is miserable on it, not that I ever use the camera even on my $500 Samsung, but just an FYI. Haven't used it enough to really comment on functionality or reliability. In the end, it's a >$50 tablet, but a decent one at that. But you defintely get what you pay for

Got this on black Friday for 35 bucks for my 2 year old for youtube viewing, for my 2 year old it's amazing does the job decent battery.
It's not that fast or the screen ain't that great but for 35 bucks you get what you pay for
I think it's great for kids if you need to do serious stuff on tablet and thinking you can get away with it with this tablet definitely do not buy it

This was my third Fire 7" 2015 to purchase. One for me and two for gifts. The apps in the Amazon appstore are not a numerous as in other stores, but I've got email apps, games, office productivity, everything I "need". For a simple to use tablet it gets the job done very well. As an e-book reader it's great, but not outstanding. The screen is not as nice as higher end models, but for the price and quality this unit can not be beat! The speaker is mono and not as loud as nicer Fire units, but again this is a sub $50 unit.
I use mine daily for email, web, some simple games, I've even sideloaded a few apps that work great (Your mileage may vary).
Expect to like the unit for what it can do and you'll be happy. If you think this one is as good as a $150 tablet, well look elsewhere.
All the sub $50 tablets I've seen out there can't hold a candle to this one's build quality and features.

We have three fire tablets in my house (one for everyone). My husband and I enjoy ours as much as our 3 year old. I had to use parental controls to prevent her from making in-app purchases but other than that, we haven't had any issues. The battery life is great and the tablet is durable. It runs quickly and allows my daughter to independently watch cartoons using our Prime account.
This review is from Amazon - Fire 8GB (5th Gen, 2015 Release) - Magenta

I bought this for my wife who is not much of a tablet person. She likes it now to check emails, news, Skype and such. It was a Black Friday special. It is easy to use and small to carry in her purse. My only complaint is that the videos are not watchable at times but that may be due to my internet connection being slow at times. Overall a Best Buy!

I bought this expecting the same quality i have received in the previous 3 kindles I purchased. I am disappointed. I like the price. The home screen is just all the apps right in your face, not just the ones you want, like in the older version kindle fire. I mostly use it for reading books, and so far I'm dissatisfied. It's great to swipe to the next page, but when I want to go to settings or something else while reading I find it difficult to open. Instead the page just turns and by the time I finally get to the book settings, I've lost my spot! I downloaded the Facebook app and it's very slow. Maybe it's Amazons way of telling me that's what I get for $50 but come on. Sometimes I like to use the kindle to search the web and that too is slow. I compared it to my older version and there is a noticible difference in speed. I know there are other cool user tools, but for me I mostly use it to read and check Facebook and maybe Pinterest. It's priced well if you want it for kids, it's user friendly and my kids have already figured out all the options. I would recommend it for kids or for people who are technologically not savvy.

For the price I paid not having HD on the kindle was no matter. Has lots of storage and the kids are using it at school for their class assignments. Screen is big enough to read off of and everything is loading fairly fast. Kindle looks to be durable.

I love this device, what I like is the parental controls with the apps that kids want to explore and download it could be dangerous, but its not. Also this has the capability of having a 128 gb memory card. With the features of Amazon that means access to underground games and the ability to download shows and movies. This is a great product for beginners and the advanced.

Love this tablet. It's perfect for kids, teens, and adults. I have 5 in my home. We all love them. Perfect for searching the Internet, playing games, keeping up with the news and TV shows you love. It connects right to my fire stick and I watch movies without hooking up all kinds of cables. Could not believe the price. Best bargain on a quality tablet. Thanks Best Buy!!

This is just what I needed - great price - great tablet. I am a Math Teacher and I use this tablet in my classroom to award Class Dojo points and check on progress in Moby Max Math. This was perfect for me.
