    Love it because you can’t really download adult content on it and I got it for my young daughter so appreciate the fact that negative things don’t come up on it .. it works great.. I haven’t had a problem ..!

    The hardware is not the greatest. Feels cheaply made. FireOS uses an outdated version of android. But... for the price it’s pretty awesome. I wouldn’t use it for my everyday device. But as digital displays for my home automation it is perfect.

    I bought this for my grandson's 7th birthday and he loves it! Based on how easily he was able to navigate his way through the icons, I would highly recommend this tablet for everyone of all ages.

    My smartphone uses up too much data, so I purchased a tablet. It frees up storage space in my smartphone and I can watch more streaming on my Tablet. It's a great investment. The visuals are better also!

    Handy alternative to a laptop and an e reader. Sadly it's not good when you're in bright sunlight. Took a little getting used to as the operating system is different than laptop and PC.

    Awesome tablet! Use it just to stream movies while I'm away on business and it works great! Just wish the volume was a tad louder when not using headphones.

    I purchased this for my mom for mothers day and she loves it. She's older and not too tech knowledgeable but this is easy to handle and was easy to learn for her. She really loves it.

    The purpose was simple, upgrade an obsolete item of the same brand. It did. D not expect a fancy item but the obsolete lasted in good shape for almost 4 years and this is basically the same. No better cost benefit for my need

    This tablet is great for those who want to use Amazon-related apps (Kindle, Audible, Amazon Music, etcc...) The appstore is very limited so I found a way to download Google Play on this device. Once I did that, the tablet became MUCH more useful.

    I bought this specifically to use for scheduling at my personal business. I have been unable to down load the square app so I guess I just read on it. Also very unhappy with the ads on the homepage every time I turn it on

    Ok so being an Apple person it took some convincing in buying this item for my husband. But he only neeeded a pad for downloading movies, which was then buying point. Why do I want to spend $300 on a device that is going to only be used at work ? The device has more memory with optional extended storage. Graphics are sharp. Bonus: Dolby sound system is true theater quality that blew us away. This device is definitely worth the money.

    Great budget tablet that's great for ereading. Keep in mind this version comes with ads on the main screen though. They are not intrusive to regular use but work like a screensaver. You can turn them off but need to pay a fee to amazon.

    Not a bad tablet for the price point, however, it is slow and not something you can rely on for everyday use. Good for a kid or if you just want to play games on.

    Bought for my wife who is a long term kindle user. Unfortunately, even with the help of Amazon support it would not load the updates. Our DSL may have been too slow to handle the updates while being bombarded by an incredible amount of ads.
