    Just picked up from BB a couple of hours ago. Screen in good and tablet seems faster than previous model possibly due to more memory. Battery so far seems very good.

    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.

    This is not a bad product. Amazon offers greats products but this tablet was missing features even for a basic tablet. The lack of google chrome compatibility made this tablet not right for me.

    Great Bang for the Buck

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

    Does all the basic stuff I need at a great price. I use it for some apps, web browsing and some video. Picked this over the Fire 7" for the screen size, resolution and CPU/GPU. Battery life is pretty good. Ads aren't too annoying. Far cheaper than competing name-brand budget tablets while doing almost everything needed at this level and probably better supported. FireOS will always be a little behind the current Android version and I'd rather have Google Play than Amazon, but this still allows for side-loading stuff. Recommend if you're ok with living in Amazon's world and/or proficient enough to load other app stores or packages (or know somebody can).

    It was on a total of an hour and a half when the screen went completely dark. Would not turn on after that. The battery was fine....It just quit working all together.

    Prior to using the device I decided to recharge it to 100% and was shocked to find out that it takes 6 hours. Unless you have a lot of time don't buy this device.

    I bought this tablet for my 4 year old daughter. Too many advertisements. I would rather pay more and not have a single ad.
