    Don't buy if you don't plan on spending more

    Do not buy if you plan on utilizing the 2 year worry free guarantee. Best buy does not take care of the request, and if broken you will have to deal with a lengthy manufacturer warranty with Amazon. Amazon can possibly lose your device and since it was not purchased through them you will run into a world of problems. I do not recommend buying unless you plan to spend more money on the best buy protection.

    Only upside is that this tablet is impossible to break. This tablet is very limited in what you can do on it. The preset limitations to make it child appropriate make it tough to personalize it. An iPad is a little more expensive but definitely offers a lot more. I would invest the extra money and get an iPad and a tough case with it if it’s for a child. You’ll be a lot happier with your purchase

    The preloaded Kids videos won't play without WiFi. Makes this useless in the car where I want it to work. Disappointed.

    Was hoping to use it for my kids schooling. Wasn’t compatible with the school software. Now she/he uses it for video and game play.

    The case around the tablet is the best part. The non kids interface is not great and then the kids interface is almost unusable. The search function is useless and it becomes very buggy very quickly. Has no auto play and can't access actual YouTube. Would not recommend. Better to just spend the extra money on an IPad and good case.

    I would not recommend this tablet. You could download movies but you still have to use wifi to watch them. Can't even watch any youtube movies you may have bought. They try to make it so you only use there stuff. If I would have known that I would not have bought it. I rather have a tablet where I could use any app I want to use. But with this tablet you are very limited.

    Bought it for a grandkid in Mexico and it is not wifi enabled because it only setup to operate with a US amazon account. I was not made aware of this requirement when I bought it in Tucson. Probably good luck when I try to return it when I am back in September. Hope to just get a restocking fee. I will use the return to buy another kids tablet that will work anywhere (unlocked?).

    I purchased Amazon Fire for my little one with special needs and we've had problems ever with the device not working. Due to COVID and this year not starting off well. I missed the deadline to return. I called Amazon help desk for assistance & still having issues. It's not user friendly. Disappointment mom

    I purchased this and received it by mail in 2 days. My daughter used it for maybe a week and a half and then the screen was black. I took it into a best buy to get it fixed and since it was 16 days since my purchase, they refused to help me. Not happy with my experience at all! Got a refund instead.

    I’ve bought 2 of these tablets for my kids & had to replace both. My daughter’s tablet I replaced last week & im going back to the store to replace the replacement. All these tablets have the same issue with the charging area. It’s some type of defect with charge area on the tablet.

    Bought for my young daughter. Looking for a cheap tablet, and decidedd to get this one. Was hesitant since I had a fire years ago and didn't care for it. OS is crap, market is weak, and painful to use sometimes. Definitely will not buy again
