    I love the tablet but I don’t like how easy it is for kids to purchase things even with all of the so called parental locks. You should be able to download stuff for free for children. It’s a money pit.

      Hello StacyJ! Thank you so much for your feedback on the Fire HD 8 Kids Pro tablet — we truly hear your frustration, and it's completely understandable. As a parent, the last thing you want is to feel like your child's device is creating unexpected expenses, especially when you've taken steps to set up parental controls. To help ease those concerns, you can go to Settings > Parental Controls on the device to set a password, then visit parents.amazon.com to review and tighten your child's content and purchase settings — including limiting access to only explicitly approved content to prevent any Amazon Store browsing. The great news is that the tablet also comes with a 6-month Amazon Kids+ subscription for new subscribers, giving your child access to thousands of ad-free books, videos, and apps with no in-app purchases within that experience. Thank you, and we hope your family enjoys the tablet! AmazonDevices

      Hello Ae99! Thank you for your feedback on the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro tablet — we truly understand how frustrating it can be when a device feels too restrictive for your family's needs. Through the Amazon Parent Dashboard at parents.amazon.com, you can customize your child's profile to approve specific apps, adjust content by age, and expand access beyond the default library, which Amazon continues to grow. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps shape future improvements for families everywhere — thank you! AmazonDevices

      Hello JAJR! Thank you so much for your time and valued feedback! What you are referring to is called App Pinning. This device does in fact have that functionality available in the Settings. You can access this by navigating to Settings>Profile and parental controls>App Pinning and then toggle it on. Then once toggled on, you will see instructions on how to pin an app and even have the ability to toggle on Disable Touch which prevents touch functionality while in a pinned app. I do hope this helps improve upon your experience with your new tablet and that you have a phenomenal day!

    I do not know if I got a defective one or not but it at times does not open up apps and if the app does open it stays loading and nothing happens. All I do is restart the tablet, it did it since day 1 which was a Christmas gift, I gave it another day and it still does the same thing.
