    Love that it is durable for kids but I don't like that it is slow. It also doesn't have the freedom to do a lot. Good for young kids. That's about it.

    Parental Control setup is not an easy point and click. You actually have to figure out how to do it and I had to use Youtube to figure everything out.

    Buttons should have been more pronounced. They are difficult to operate with due to the thick protective case . However it is great for kids I suppose, they are not as picky as the adults that purchase them.

    I purchased this for my daughter and quickly realized that a lot of the apps she likes to use aren't available to install on this device. Certain apps that I was able to install under the parent account wouldn't work on the child account despite turning on the share feature. On the plus side, the case is durable and helps amplify the tablet speakers sound. Overall, I would not recommend this tablet due to restrictions and incompatible apps.

    Great device for kids but the processor is a little too slow for my liking. The kids housing is A+ though. If the next model fixes some of the issues I'd definitely get it again.

    We love the amazon tablets for our children. This one is good, and we love the cases! However, it is a little slow and needs to be restarted often.

    I would give this 0 if I could. I went into my local Minot ND to buy my son an iPad and the associate convinced me to buy this instead and it’s so slow and we have only had it 16 days and the screen is already cracked. Keep in mind we have carpet through our home. Now I can’t return it. I called Best Buy and they were no help either. I will NOT be returning to Best Buy.

    Works fine,easy to hold, hard to break, don't expect any Google Play Apps on it, and Amazon Apps are substandard.

    My 5yo was used to using an iPad. We made a temporary change and purchased this tablet. The tablet was confusing and too complex. You have to go through several steps to gain basic functionality that we were used to just pushing a button. I’m sure it has great features, we just didn’t have the time or energy to figure it out. I wouldn’t recommend this tablet. We just purchased him an iPad and now all things are made right in the universe.

    Disappointed

    We were very disappointed with this tablet. If I would have know you could only use Amazons pass I would have not bought this. You can't even download your prime movies you may have bought. You think you downloaded a movie till you get on the road and you still need wifi to watch it. And if you might have movies you bought on youtube. Then you are out of luck. Because you can't watch movies from youtube that you bought. Witch sucks because if you could you can download load movies and watch with out any wifi. This defeats the reason I bought these. We have to be in the car for long periods of time every couple weeks. And I wanted my kids to be able to watch while on the road. But I guess Amazon isn't meeting up to what google can do. And they are trying to compete. And in my opinion they have alot of work to do. There biggest mistake is they are trying to compete with them like they are up there with google and iphone. But they are not even close to either one. And unfortunately I wasted my hard earned money on this item.
