Customer Ratings & Reviews

Inexpensive but handy, replacing phone for browsing due to large clear screen and added micro SD card memory to hold maps, documents and daily. Purchased for vacation in lieu of carrying guide book. Loaded with offline Google Maps of Germany, Budapest, Trip Advisor offline materials, downloaded City Guides. GPS worked without Wi Fi connection so G_Maps showed clearly where I was and (for saved) locations how to get there from here. A saved map of Budapest for example would show whole city , zooming down to a street and block, all offline. Arrived at destination and read city guide for history of sites, menus for cafes in Vienna, etc. Really great add to the trip, and if lost/stolen, not a big loss. Tried cheap unit years ago; slow, bad battery, limited space. Awful. This unit works smoothly , fast, and long battery life. I'd replace my phone with if it if the unit actually had a 4G connectivity. This $40 (sale) item with added 16 GB memory outperforms my phone in almost ever way; why is the phone 10+ times more just to add a cell connection? It is not a IPAD , but for its niche, a nice tool. I did download and edit free doc apps and opened office docs. Only one issue: Wi-Fi connectivity through local servers, like hotels where you have to enter their password t get on. The unit does not pop up that page for you to enter the info needed, so connectivity shown but no internet access. [I found a possible solution, though] Works great on typical home, office, open networks (and you can use open networks because this device is not carrying your life history like a phone.)

great screen, visible from every angle, tilt it left right up or down. my previous budget tablet that i bought online the screen would black out when tilted up or down(went to the BestBuy store to avoid this problem again). this tablet has good resolution, no noticable pixelation. its a bright screen, indoor use i turn it all the way down. i only use it to play games, so i don't wear out my phone. has a 3-3.5 hour continuous use battery. cpu intensive game, it gets warm but not hot, like on my phone or my previous tablet. cpu and ram are good, no lag while playing my game. uses a micro USB charger so interchangable with the phone's charger. although the cord is shorter than my S4's. i did not have to update any of the software. couldn't ask for more from a $50 tablet.

I bought this tablet as a Christmas gift for my mom & she loves it. This is her first tablet so I wanted to get something easy to use. She mostly uses it to play games & read emails. The games play good with no lag. The screen is nice but isn't always 100% responsive. Also the battery drains pretty quickly & takes quite awhile to charge. Overall it's great for beginners

I got this for my 2 1/2 year old so my expectations were very, very low and while this is no iPad or even Kidle its not a bad little tablet to get my littlest one off my bottom and not trying to steal her brothers kindle. Since they broke my IPad I use their tablets till I get a new one and surprisingly I've been using this one more often then his nicer kindle because it loads faster and downloads apps and video faster. How long it will last? How long till it clogs up or get infected? Who knows, probably not long at this price but for $40 who cares. My it suggestions is get a high quality screen protector ASAP. I managed to scrape the h out of this tablet all over the front within an hojr, before I'd even given it to my child. It's not glass or whatever higher products use but some kind of cheap clear plastic, so if you want the screen to stay clear cover it immediately. Also pic and video quality is sub par but again who cares, its great for a child at this price point when literally all they care about is popping bubbles and re'watchinh every episode PBS ever created so they can be like their 4 yr old brother doing his educational stuff. Download an easy parental control app and your good to go. I wish midrange tablets worked as well as this one. It's either $40 or $600 but in between sucks as bad as the $40 so if you've got a child under 6 or 8 then save your cash. My 4 year old ALWAYS gets a kindle tho after the last broken one we switched to the $50 model and other than it being slow its also an excellent cheap option. Unless your kids break them once a month its not worth buying the warranties, just backup your cloud.

I prefer a pocket size smartphone, so I bought this tablet to use on trips and other casual uses where I needed a larger size screen. If it got lost or broken, while annoying, it would not be a disaster like it would be for a notebook or more expensive tablet. I am happy with the size. It will be easy to slip into a bag or case and not take up much room. I am not a gamer, so I can't comment on how good this would be for that except to say I think a little more horsepower and memory would be useful just like for gaming on desktop computers. All apps that I downloaded from the Play Store were happy with this tablet. I did add a microSD card to increase the storage capacity. I do own several other Android tablets so I have some basis for comparison, including a 10" Insignia along with a variety of other tech devices. Based on a few days use, it seems like a solid basic tablet and a good value for the money. I would think it would not be great as a primary computer/tablet for someone unless that person was accident prone and needed to replace it periodically. A big hesitation in purchasing was the 90 day warranty. I would have preferred a year even for a basic tablet like this. Unfortunately the extended warranty options Best Buy was offering was quite expensive when compared to the purchase price of the tablet. I may eventually buy another to use as a remote control for my smart TV.

I bought this tablet to use with a square card reader to do our credit card transactions. We just needed something that could be dedicated to that job. I have another tablet that I use for most everything else. So I can't really give you a true review of how it would do streaming video or playing games. Setup is super simple. If you are familiar with setting up an android phone this is exactly the same. Enter your Google account info, connect to WiFi and you are off to the races. I had it out of the box and setup in less than 15 minutes. It runs android 5.1 and does a good job. Is it super fast? No, but it's not a dog either. I don't do anything that would really push it's limits. I'm not used to a 7" screen so I find that challenging sometimes. The screen is responsive without being twitchy. Overall I'm happy with the purchase. Would I want it to replace my Samsung Galaxy 10", no. But they are way opposite ends of the scale. For web browsing, social media (ugh) and the basic apps I use it more than fills the bill. Durability might be an issue if you are getting it for a child. But if you take care of it, like you are supposed to do, it doesn't have any issues. Amazing for a tablet under $40.

I got this for someone who doesn't use technology much. They love it and it works great for what it needs to do. Handles all the small things well. I would not recommend running anything heavy on this but it still does the small things you would want it to do.

Pros Light Build Latest Version of Android (5.1) Good Screen Cons Backlight Bleed Speaker on Back Others The Build is Light But Plastic And Screen is 800x600 I was Able to get About 2 Hours of Watching Video On You Tube Free Space Was 5gb So I Bought A 16gb Samsung Micro SD Card For $8 At The Same Best Buy I Would Recommend This To A Person Who Wants A Stocking Stuffer for Christmas or For a Kids First Tablet

I bought this as a back up to my iPad and to keep my son off of my iPad. This was something that I could easily throw into my purse, take to work, to a friends house, doctor appointments and etc. without worry. It's a surprisingly good tablet for the price. I purchased my tablet on sale for $39.99. I set it up easily and it loads fast and works great. I also dropped it without a case from out of my purse and face down onto a tile floor. Picked it up without a scratch. I was shocked! Works great and was the cheapest tablet in the store. Thinking about purchasing another one for my son. It's pretty good.

im sooo very pleased just bought it and its very very nice tablet good work digiland

Device charged fully in about 3 hours. Screen is bright and clear. Quad core cpu is responsive. Seems easy to use if you know what you are doing. Enclosed documentatioh is only a description of tablet ports and switches. No details of how to use Android 5.1 (LOLLIPOP). Could not find more documentation on company website. Anyhow, managed to easily set up my wi-fi and change some tablet defaults. Searching web for Android 5.1 end user documentation.

Setting up tablet this evening, the more apps I ran, the slower tablet ran. Solution - Reboot. Ooops, It shut down, but will not rebooted itself, hangs on startup screen. Tried the recessed *reset* button, and then the android total reset (on switch+volume up) Still no joy. I'm going to swap it for another one tomorrow, hopefully there will be no repeat performances. .

For the price, I am not complaining at all. I simply use it to surf the web, read books, etc. Not using the camera, as the quality is not there. If I drop it and break it, I can quickly replace it without worry. Shortly after I bought one, a friend bought one and he's quite pleased as well.

good basic tablet runs most apps only draw back is the speaker are very small and not loud at all . diffidently need head phones with these.

Tablet is a good price but you get what you pay for. The battery doesn't hold a long charge (less than 18 hrs and it's dead even without being used), the sound quality is horrible, you have to use headphones if you're in a room with any sort of background noise. The internal memory sucks. After installing 3 apps, a system update was needed but there was no more room. I'll be exchanging these for something better. Originally wanted the Kindle but they were all out, which is how we ended up with these.

I bought this for my daughter and it is very easy to use. She loves it!

I did not have high hopes for this tablet due to how cheap it is in cost and some negative reviews about them failing. However, mine has been very dependable and works perfectly. I actually find the touch screen is more responsive to my touch than an Amazon Fire tablet is! I've been downloading and using Google Android based apps for it with no major issues.

Great product for a child first tablet. My kids loved them and the devices were tough and withstood many drops.

My dad purchased these for two of my kids (ages 4 and 8) to use for playing games. They both charged and acted as they should at first. I downloaded a couple of games onto my son's and he started playing. I had a very difficult time connecting to the internet with my daughter's. I was finally able to get a couple of games downloaded for her and all was well. That evening, I put them both on their chargers and realized the next morning that one charger didn't work. So, for a day or two, they took turns with one charger (which was an inconvenience since they take SO long to charge and the battery life is pretty short). Well, within the week, the other charger stopped working. Now both tablets are dead and completely useless. I've tried using chargers from other Android devices my older daughters had, but they aren't working either. Plan to take them back to Best Buy and hoping for a resolution

I bought this as a gift for my kids. They have had so much fun with this tablet. I should have bought two as the only real trouble I have had is the kids fighting over only having one. ☺ I was not able to get the free protection from best buy to download however so not sure about that.
