Birthday Gift for our Great Niece & Father :-)

So easy that a 4 year old could use it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.That's exactly who this tablet was intended for. I really like the built in safety controls that PBS ensured were included. The no slip side grips are great also. Most importantly, my niece loves it!

Educational for my 3 year old niece
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a tablet for my niece so she can not just veg out but actually learn, as she learns to use her motor skills and hand eye coordination I see that this is a great tool for her to begin with

Garbage
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Every time I try to exit the play time mode, it makes me put in my password, which is OK, except I have reset the password five times, and every time when I put it in it says it’s the wrong password. I have the password saved, I contact them, they have me reset it, it works once, and the next time I try to use it, the password won’t work. I have it written down and saved in my iPad. Also, several of the apps just don’t work. I keep getting messages that they are not responding. I’ve only had this tablet for 2 months, and it is almost and unusable.

Not what I expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The tablet was ok, but not as good quality as I expected. It is a cheaper made tablet. The screen is a cheaper plastic kind that has a very grainy and difficult to look at resolution. The apps were nice, but they are available on the Play Store for free through the PBS kids Game app, as well as the videos are available through the video app. Returned for a Nabi and much happier.

Constant problems
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was great right out the box, by 3 months it wouldn't work properly. Tried to place a use timer on it, it malfunctioned & my child couldn't use it. Told by creators support team to update it. It was already on the most recent version, had to reset it. Used the parent controls to allow outside apps, every few weeks it would block the use of the apps claiming they weren't allowed in the PBS play environment which I clearly said they were through the parent controls. Went through cycle after cycle of checking the version which was current according to google play, & having to either clear the cache, data or reset it. Finally after a little over a year this so called "child-proof" tablet, clearly made thicker than a regular tablet, was able to be completely shattered by a 4 year old. Useless tech junk. Lesson learned well return to ball in a cup & wooden planes for kids.

Bought for youngest child
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tablet is not that easy for young Children. Going back to home screen should have a Manuel button. Instead it has to be swiped in a small area to bring up options to home, back step or all previous open screens. Not well designed for young children. Spend the extra $20 and get samsung kids tablet or buy the cheapest tablet and let them learn how to use a tablet

Better than expected
