    Tons of advertising

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    From the minute you turn it on there's advertising. The OS is very different from a standard tablet OS - I couldn't get an app that I wanted from the Google Play Store - it just wouldn't work on this. As I said before, I found the amount of advertising just ridiculous.

    Understand Warranty before throwing out $50

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It's very appealing for the price, but know in advance that the warranty is only 90 days... I did not. So when my sons device stopped charging due to a lose charging port a little over 2 months after he got it, I didn't rush to call. I have been taking care of seriously ill family members so I put customer service on the bottom of my list of priorities since I thought I had time,,, especially knowing that these types of calls can sometimes take hours which I didn't have. Today my son was home sick, so I had the day to do the things at the bottom of my list so I called Amazon. 52 minutes later, after doing all their trouble shooting steps THREE times and being disconnected once, she decided to tell me that my warranty was only for 90 days but she would be happy to help me buy one for only $49.99........ Ok. After I calmly explained to he that that was full price and I wasn't about to spend that again on a device that barely made it two months, she put me on hold and 5 minutes later she told me that they would generously give me $10 off my next purchase. Moral of the story, know before you buy & if you still buy, call the minute the thing breaks, even if that means your mom will be an hour late for chemo I guess. Also, during my 45 minute search for who to call about the defect (since it wasn't on the box) I found the Amazon support number on a thread with at least 200 other people talking about their defective charging ports. Keep that in mind. If $50 is something you can spend every 2 months, it might be worth it????

    SLOW

    I got mine for a month, and I mainly use it to read PDF documents from SD card or OneDrive. The tablet is nothing like the reviews said. It FREEZES up every time I press "Home" or go to the next page or even to close out. When I go on the internet, some pages do not load fully. 9/10 times only the 1st half of the page was loaded. I am very disappointed.

    An OK product. Bought on Black Friday for $35, you get what you pay for. Runs slow at times, good for simple tasks.

    I have one issue with this tablet. What headphones work with this tablet? I used a pair the first time to watch a movie and they worked fine. When trying to view a movie again none of the headphones are working on this tablet. I have tried multiple headsets with no success. Please Help!

    It's a good starter tablet. I haven't been overly impressed but it does what it needs to do.

    Not a fan

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The constant bombardment of ads when I turn on my tablet is not an experience that I enjoy. I would recommend you buy ANY other than one that runs the Fire OS. For the same price you can get a cheap android tablet and do a lot more with it.

    Buyer Beware! Do not buy this product

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    All I can say, as soon as I opened this tablet it never ever turned on, I was so upset as I've followed the troubleshooting steps from other users online and still it never worked, I fully charged the tablet and tried again and still it never turned on. I had a very hard time at the best buy returning this item; had to spend an hour and explained the situation to them; they never believed me this item came to be defective; after storming out and after a while; they have decided to accept the return and gave me credit for it. I would never buy an Amazon product ever again. piece of junk, bad quality product. Thanks,

    Was unable to get to google docs on this one even though the sales person said we would be able to. My Granddaughter needed this for school & it did not allow you to get to google docs.

    Weird ads as a screen saver

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought 2 of these on Black Friday and these have to be one of the worst buys of my life!!!! The screen saver can't be changed so my kids are forced to look at ads every time they want to use their tablet. Apps are ok and to be honest I could have dealt with the ads but the final deal breaker for me is the sd card. I bought my kids sd cards so they can have more than 4 games and the tablet doesn't read it or something. It says sd card inserted but it won't download apps to the sd card!

    Must have wi fi

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I don't have wi fi. so I can't use the device. I'm returning it. I wanted something that my father could use as an e reader. I thought I would be able to download books via my computer using the usb cable. You can't do this unless you are registered. You cannot register unless you have wi fi. Amazon needs to fix this. This is a major flaw.

    charging wires won't stay put

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've bought over 10 replacement charging wires, the ones with the micro mail end that inserts into the Fire to charge it. After one or two uses, the wires become loose and fall out. They definitely won't stay put to charge. Does anyone else have this problem? What's the solution? If not for this, I would recommend it.

    I read reviews before making a decision for my purchase, but ended up returning the device as I was expecting an experience like that of an Android tablet.

    Lasted 120 days...30 past warranty

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Died after 120 days....30 days out of warranty. Some no name brand lasted us 3 years before this one. Figured we would get a "name brand" thinking that it will last longer. I won't be purchasing Kindle/Amazon products anymore.
