    If adding more than one child to the account, the screen will not rotate properly for the second, third, or fourth child. Geek squad could not fix this problem, seems to be a manufacturer's issue. Also, there are too many adds. I returned this product.

    Very basic. If you need more than the basics, look for an Android tablet.

    Stay away, this product is not worth the money. I was constantly calling Amazon Customer service, and most of the reps there had no clue. They would admit to certain bugs being "in the process of being resolved", but never did resolve anything. I took this back less than a month after purchasing, and spent $40 more and got an ASUS ZenPad, Sooooooo much better, and so much more professional. ASUS really puts a lot of thought into their products, and they're not in the business of selling everything under the sun like Amazon is. Don't wast your money on a Fire tablet, unless you're just going to give it to a 7 yr old kid to play games on, you'll regret it. It's not for professional use of any kind.

    Great Little Tablet!

    This Fire HD 8 was gifted to me by a friend who purchased this from Best Buy in 2016. I also have a relatively new Ipad, and while they have some similarities, I think comparing them to one another is apples/oranges. This little tablet stands on its own two feet. While the app store is obviously a little limited, with just a dab of work, I was able to add Google Play through APK and access many more apps (be warned: not all will perform perfectly, but most do!). The camera is a bit fuzzy by 2022 standards. I added an SD card to enhance storage. All in all, I am tickled with my gift!

    If you need a basic tablet then the fire works. It falls apart when compared to the iPad mini from a usability, functionality and available apps standpoint.
