    I think the charging port should be something more simple since this product is aimed at smaller children. We’ve only had ours for a month and the port is broke. Getting a new one sent to us.

    Waste of money. I should have passed. It doesn't allow me to do the things I thought it did. I don't think paying for a subscription service after the one year membership is over is worth it.

    The tablet itself is good. My son loves it. No issues. The problem comes one year after purchase when it automatically charges your credit card $4.99 per month. I've tried reaching out to Amazon, but no one ever answers.

    Charging Takes Forever

    Very kid friendly and my little one loves it. However, we have to charge it almost a whole day in order to use it. It's disappointing that it takes that long when it should take an hour or less to get at least 50% use.

    This was not the best choice for my autistic son. We were unable to download anything from Google Play and were limited to the Amazon store. Making this a deal breaker for us. I had to return it and get a different tablet.

    My sone enjoys using it. The free time provides good content for kids. The tablet itself seems a little slow, and amazon has updates that don’t always seem to function well with freetime.

    I bought this for my daughter less than 3 months ago. For a tablet that's claim is durability, the charge port is anything but. Normal plug/unplug use, and now the port is loose and will not charge. The tablet is a brick. It lasted just long enough to outlast the return policy at Best Buy. Best Buy refused to exchange it. Is am currently seeking a replacement through Amazon, but the warranty will probably only last a year on malfunctions like this.

    I bought this for my boyfriend because he drops electronics often and I can only find good cases for iPads. He loved it once we got it switched over to the regular, internet-accessible side.

    Found that we liked liked Samsung Galaxy Tab better even though we had to set parental controls separately, it was worth extra money.

    It’s great that you can enhance capacity via a memory card, but the fact that a brand new product stops working within an hour of opening it reduces confidence significantly

    Unfortunately the UI can be cluttered and apps are very limited. But works ok if your kods like watching shows from amazon prime or likes reading ebooks.
