    My son really liked the tablet's design and games. But the speed and performance is very slow and lagging. The games aren't even memory hungry games. But the processor is slow. Would of returned it but the boy likes the design. Pay a little extra and get a better tablet.

    At first it was great for the price and for my 3 year old. Since last February I had to exchange it 4 times. All for the same reason. The tablet would be charged and die within 2 minutes of play time. Thank god I bought the warranty. Now the battery in the tablet has swollen. Luckily we realized and took the tablet away from my son before the battery exploded. We had to take the back off to give the battery space to swell so it wouldn’t explode. Now my son is upset that he can’t play his tablet. It comes with a gummy case. Which is nice but if you want more protection, you can’t find another case to fit the tablet. It was a waste of $80. Less than a year later and the tablet completely doesn’t work. I’ll be buying a different tablet. I refuse to switch this one out again.

    It's a nice tablet But the key board is hard to use for passwords You don't know what your really typing because it changes. It just needs to be like other key board simple and to the point

    Great for kids. I can set timers that allow them a restricted amount of time to use their tablet which helps control how much time they spend on it.

    This tablet does not have the best quality videos. My son has an iPad which of course is much better quality but for $70, you would think this tablet would compare. My son loves it though so we decided to keep it.

    good value, already comes pre loaded with lots of things for kids. my only complaint is the lack of memory, in 2017 you couldn't provide the consumer with a little more then 8 gigs?

    This tablet does what it says it will do and for the price I can't say many negative things, however after 3 days of minimum use the power and volume buttons broke so I need to use a pin to use them and after 1 month it has started freezing up constantly?! I'm glad I purchased the two year warranty because I'm thinking I will definitely need it soon.
