    This is not that good of a product. Great for kids. But not for adults . Ok for watching Netflix and play games nothing else. It lags when surfing the web.

    Used this device twice. Bought it in December 2019 - First time used, realized the Amazon Prime movies we downloaded on to it was only good for about 3 days (so no movies on our flight out). Second time used was in February and couldn't get it to keep its charge for the flight home. Now trying to get it to boot up again in August and even worse with not receiving any type of charge. Only to find out that it only has a 90 warranty.

    Bought this to use as a echo show unit to connect to our ring camera’s but after having issues not being able to connect and display them and spending time with Amazon customer service and finding out it does not support this feature we returned it and went with the echo show 5. That worked perfectly.

    Bought this for my daughter and it’s a budget tablet. Battery life is horrible. Will be investing in an IPad when she’s a little bit more responsible.

    I ordered this table to play video games and surf the internet. When I started the tablet, it was shattered on the inside of the screen. The computer wouldn't even come on. Had an older Kindle that I loved, but I took this one back. Also found out upon returning that I couldn't get Google Play if I exchanged for another one. So, I exchanged for a Samsung Galaxy Tab A.

    I’m not sure if I would recommend this tablet. I find it hard to navigate and the features could use some upgrading.

    If you tell yourself that this is your beat choice because you are in budget , I’m sorry but you are wrong , you are better of buying a used iPad and you will get way more for your money and your kids will love you back . Amazon fire HD is not worth buying .

    This product was not what I expected. If I did not have a Prime account this would have been an even bigger paper weight.

    When I purchased this, I didn't know that it wouldn't be able to do anything. I thought it would be like my android phone. I didn't know that amazon has it's own apps and hardly any of them. All the apps that I use on a regular bases wasn't able in for them. Tablet is good for nothing.
