    I basically like it. It gave me the needed things I wanted. I was happy that I could expand the storage space. It does not have the feel or speed like a similar but more expensive device, but works just fine for what I needed.

    I really wanted to like this tablet but I couldn't download a lot of apps. Primarily the ones that I needed. So it was pretty useless to me.

      Hi TParker,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that the Fire HD 8 didn't meet your needs. We understand how frustrating it is when you can't access the specific apps you need for your daily use.

      The Fire HD 8 runs on Amazon's Fire OS and uses the Amazon Appstore, which has a different selection of apps compared to other app stores. We recognize that this limitation can be a significant issue if the apps you rely on aren't available, and we completely understand your decision to return the tablet.

      We appreciate you giving the Fire HD 8 a try, and your feedback about app availability is valuable as it helps us understand what matters most to our customers.
      Thank you again for your honest feedback. AmazonDevices

    This was purchased as a travel screen for long trips. This runs very slowly, attempting to download some movies for a flight and glad I started days early. This thing is loaded with apps you may never use and cannot delete. If it wasn’t $90 I wouldn’t have got but I just wanted something cheap to watch a few movies on an 11 hour flight. If you have the extra $100 buy an iPad. It will run smoother and you get a screen about twice the size.

      Hi Kakarotss2, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Fire HD 8. I’m sorry to hear that the device has not met your expectations so far. It's important to understand that the Fire HD 8 is quite different from an iPad. While it is a lot less expensive, it also offers a longer battery life and allows for expandable storage through a microSD card. This tablet is great for watching videos on Prime Video, reading Kindle books, and handling basic tasks. If you mainly want a device for enjoying streaming media and keeping costs down, the Fire HD 8 is a good choice. However, if you need more power and special features, an iPad might be better for you. I hope this information helps you get the most out of your Fire tablet. Thank you again for your feedback! AmazonDevices

    Bought for an elderly parent to use as streaming device. Works just fine - a little slow, but acceptable for the price. Don’t love the intrusive Amazon ads, but these can be deactivated with parental controls
