Posted .Hello DavidS. Thank you for your feedback on the Fire HD 8 tablet. I'm sorry to hear that the app restrictions didn't meet your needs. The Fire HD 8 runs on Fire OS, Amazon's customized Android-based system, which provides access to thousands of apps through the Amazon Appstore, but some third-party apps may not be available.

Posted .Dear Dale,
Thank you for your review of the Fire HD 8 tablet. You make a good point about Fire tablets being different from standard Android tablets, and we understand this wasn't what you were looking for.
Fire tablets run on Fire OS, Amazon's modified version of Android, which is designed to work primarily with Amazon's ecosystem of apps and services. If you're looking for a traditional Android tablet experience with full Google Play Store access, you might want to consider other options.
We appreciate your feedback and hope you find a tablet that better suits your needs.

Zero interest scam
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not sign up for 90 days zero interest with Progressive Leasing! There’s a catch, there’s $50 fee, even though you’ve finished the payment before 90 days, I am very disappointed

Great tablet for my grandson
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent tablet for what it’s needed for. I bought for my 6yr old grandson. He loves it. It’s a decent little tablet that is easy to use. Easy to setup and easy to keep parental controls on and password protected. Really couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Poise I bought it online. I didn’t have to step foot inside to pickup. I pulled up to a designated spot, confirmed easily online and it was brought out within minutes. Super easy, super convenient!

I would recommend this to a friend Return policy not good
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I purchased this, I was told it was like my old one. It was not. It didn't wirelessly charge. By the time I opened it and found this out, it was a little more than 14 days after purchase. That is an absurdly short time in which to be able to return an unsatisfactory item. Bad policy!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendHorrible
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life is horrible. It doesn’t hold charge for more than 2hrs. Also, you have to jump through hoops to download the basic apps.

Posted .Hello Anonymous! Thank you for reaching out. I am sorry to hear about the poor battery life on your Fire HD 8 tablet. Use power saving features or settings on your Fire tablet to preserve your device's battery. 1. Force close apps running in the background. 2. Dim your screen. 3. Reduce your screen timeout. 4. Confirm that your device is using the latest software version. 5. Use Smart Suspend to disconnect from your network when it's not in use. 6. Lower the volume or use headphones. 7. Enable Battery Saver or Low Power Mode (available on 8th Generation and newer Fire tablets). If these steps do not improve your tablets battery life, please contact Amazon customer service for further troubleshooting. They can be reached at 1-888-280-4331. Thanks and have a great day!
