Good Morning Paigecoop,

We're truly sorry to hear about the ongoing issues you've been experiencing with your Fire tablet. It's clear that these problems have significantly impacted your ability to use and enjoy the device, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused.

The frequent app closures and freezing you describe are not typical for our Fire tablets and suggest there may be an underlying issue that needs addressing. We appreciate that you've been taking good care of the device and keeping it updated.

We want to help resolve these problems and ensure you have a fully functional device that meets your needs. Here are some steps we can take:

Our technical support team can work with you to troubleshoot these issues and potentially improve your tablet's performance.

If troubleshooting doesn't resolve the problems, we can explore warranty options. Many of our devices come with a 1-year limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects.

We understand your frustration with the trade-in value. While we can't adjust trade-in values directly, we may be able to find an alternative solution that better addresses your concerns.

Please contact our customer service team at 1-888-280-4331 or through your Amazon account. We'd like to work with you directly to find the best resolution, whether that's fixing your current device or exploring other options to ensure your satisfaction.

Your experience matters to us, and we're committed to making this right. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and giving us the opportunity to address these issues.

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. The tablet is optimized for Amazon's ecosystem including Prime Video, Kindle books, and Alexa integration. Thank you for your feedback and have a great day!

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.

Thank you for your detailed feedback, JonathanE. We understand your frustration with some of the Fire HD 8's limitations and appreciate you sharing your specific concerns about the lack of Google Play Store access, kids account setup process, and ad presence. While our tablets are designed to work primarily within the Amazon ecosystem, we aim to be transparent about this. Your feedback about the setup process and ads is particularly valuable and will help us continue improving our products. If you'd like assistance with any specific issues you're experiencing, our customer support team is available 24/7 at 1 888 280-4331

Dear Shoebo22,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the Fire HD 8 tablet. We're sorry to hear the device didn't meet your performance expectations.

While the Fire HD 8 is designed to handle everyday tasks, here are a few tips that might help improve its speed:

Clear unused apps and cached data
Check for system updates
Reduce widgets and background processes

However, if you're still unsatisfied, please return the tablet within the return window for a full refund. For faster performance, you might consider the Fire HD 10 model which offers enhanced processing power.

Your feedback helps us improve our products. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
