    It's not terrible. We got it for the kiddo and she's enjoying it. It's a totally different platform from anything else though so it takes some getting used to. It's hard to switch from PC to this so if you have a PC (or MAC) it might be frustrating having to switch your brain to deal with this device. It seems very limited on what you can do with this device. I assume it's because Amazon is controlling the access but I don't know. I think we would be much better off with an iPad or any other PC based tablet.

      Hello ChazP! Thank you so much for your valued feedback and time! We are constantly working to improve upon our products and services to give our customers the best experience possible while also maintaining our strong competitive value based options compared to other brands in our category. This device does run on a Fire OS system which is a little different than other devices and we have our own Amazon Appstore as opposed to other app stores across the other brands. The Amazon Kids app, parental controls through the use of the Parent Dashboard, free bumper case, and 2 year worry free guarantee while also being lower cost than many of the options you listed makes this a tremendous value. If you are having any trouble being able to utilize any of these benefits, you can always contact Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 for further assistance and there is also a Device Support page with FAQs and support topics on the Amazon website as well. I again thank you so much for your time and we will always continually improve upon our products to improve experiences like yours. I hope you have an awesome day! AmazonDevices

    Bought this for my son a year ago for Christmas and it was great at first but has become really glitchy and slow that he doesn’t want to use it much

      Hello YasminF! I am so terribly sorry you are having slow down/glitch-like issues with your Kids tablet. Usually what causes something like this can be having too many things running in the background slowing down the processor or an update that is hung up. You can check to see what is running in the background by tapping the Multitask icon in the lower right of the screen. This will bring up any apps that are still running in the background. You can individually swipe up the ones that are no longer being used or swipe all the way over and tap Close All to free up some processing power. To check on software updates, you can navigate to Settings>Device Options>System Updates>Check Now or Install. If neither of these tips work, you can contact Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 to troubleshoot further and see what options are available to you. This device does come with a 2 year worry free guarantee being a Kids Tablet so there may be options available to you. I do hope that these tips help improve your son's experience and that you have an amazing day! AmazonDevices

    Great value for the money. Plenty of kid-friendly content for entertainment and learning. If you are savvy, you can look up how to side-load apps that are not immediately available in the included app library. It’s a bit of a process but was able to do it. Great device!
