    Flawless. My only complaint is that it is similar to apple in that it doesn't support many non Amazon apps, etc. If you are looking for a true Android (Play Store) tablet, go with a Samsung or similar. Otherwise, this is a great value.

    This tablet was purchased for my mom who's 70 years old. She's able to play her games and use the apps as she pleases. We are happy with the purchase and how clear the videos are. I use mine daily for games which is very therapeutic! :)

    I got this for my mother in law. She didnt need anything too fancy so this will work. She can still download apps and stream Netflix and Music. Great for what she will need it for. The screen is clear and it even has a camera. She really liked it. Good Buy.

    I need a cheap tablet to use as a teleprompter. This did the trick! Display isn't the highest resolution, as I'm used to retina, so wouldn't really use this as a tablet for every day use.

    This has been the perfect gift when I'm stuck on what to get someone. Has all of the features you need to stream your favorite shows, check out books, and video chat. It's all the best features of a cellphone without the cell service.

    This Kindle Fire HD has a great clear and vivid picture. Easy to read on for long periods of time with adjustable background light. Can download and use many different apps. Nit as fast as an IPad but also much cheaper.

    This is a great value for the money. Read books, listen to music and access the internet in Amazon's platform all for well under a hundred. You get more than you pay for in this case Internet service is part of your Amazon Prime plan.

    didnot work well with the app I bought the table for. Folks said it would work however after many hours with app technical team they determined table would not work. It's a good table for the apps installed , but be careful if you add

    6th one of these; charging port not durable

    I purchased this for my five year old, as I already had the kid-proof case from previous ones that no longer work. She loves the tablet and the age-appropriate games. I give this tablet HIGH POINTS for parental controls and age-appropriate game ratings, but I give it a zero for durability. My five year old is gentle with the tablet, and has never dropped or abused them. However, the charging port is incredibly poor quality! I bought 2 this time, and she has not touched the cord or charger at all. I carefully plug and unplug it myself every time it is charged. It lasted 24 days this time. Thank God I got the protection plan, but I there is a limited replacement of three times, so I don't think it will last us 6 months. This needs work to be a daily use tablet.

    My kids needed new tablets & a bundle deal was perfect. I actually only needed one, but if I could get an extra one for just a few dollars more. Why wouldn't I take advantage of this? Plus it helped eliminate jealousy between the kids.

    Great tablet, my kids have been using Amazon Fire HDs for years without any problems. Pretty steady, not as fancy as ipads, but much more affordable, especially if you have to buy several.

    My husband and I purchased this for my 2 year old. She ABSOLUTELY loves it, she plays educational games and she loves to watch her favorite cartoons on it. This tablet keeps her so occupied we barely know that she's in the room.

    This is an awesome tablet for the price !! The fire play store has some limitations like Not including snap chat as an app. Most everything else can be found, just know there’s limitations.

    Bought this to use along with the dock as something that would work as both a "guest" or spare tablet, and an everyday Echo device with a screen. Works perfectly. The only downside is that not all Google Play store apps have versions available in the Amazon App store for Fire Tablets.

    Pain in the rear!

    I bought three of these for my kids who I homeschool. The lock screens are advertisements for games and books and crap you can buy on Amazon - very annoying! We wanted to use them for CTC Math and it is the biggest pain in the butt to do anything on the Silk Browser. Also - the memory storage sucks and your kids have to be signed in as the adult otherwise they're stuck on Amazon Freetime which is a pain as well. I was surprised at how confusing this tablet is to use. We are used to Apple products and I guess we are a little spoiled! For the cost it's okay but I would have rather saved up and bought better ones had I known. These are okay for entertainment only, not educational purposes in my opinion.

    I Love Everything About The Tablet Accept The App Store I Have A Samsung Tablet Also And I Download Apps That I Can’t On My Fire HD 8 Because They’re Not Available In The App Store The Fire HD Tablet Should Come With The Google Play Store But Since It Doesn’t I Can’t Give It 5 Stars

    I have had the smaller Fire for several years and this was a nice addition to the collection. Even I could set it up without the neighbor's six year old to help. I enjoy the sound from it and the picture quality is very pleasant.

    Solid little tablet. I got this version because I just need a tablet my parents could use for messaging with the grand kids, and that can run things like You Tube. This version had some extra ram in it so it will have more longevity then the cheaper model.
