    Extremely limited

    I only recommend this for a child, extremely limited on what apps can be used, can’t even download the Best Buy app, also can not download the Phillips hue app to control your lights, the extremely limited number of supported apps does not make this tablet worth buying, spend a little more and get a Samsung tablet, or even the basic 32 GB IPad. The price is great but you’ll regret it shortly after purchase.

    Not a bad tablet once you get use to it and find some YouTube videos explaining how to put google play on the tablet.

    Got it knowing it has its limitations. So for what it’s worth it’s a decent tablet. But overall it’s just ok

    This tablet is excellent for downloading and reading e-books and watching shows but runs terribly for most online games!

    Easy to use and screen average. It would make the perfect first tablet, but you can easily grow out of it

    If you’re used to an Ipad it may take some patience for basic things like Internet. Its a great tablet for the price. You get what you pay for. The battery goes very fast, so even if it’s sleeping its loaing energy. I hate the fact that it shows you advertisements when you wake it from sleep. If they get rid of that, it would be wonderful. Also stop making the parental controls so complicated.
