    Battery life

    Rated 2 out of 5 stars

    good beginner machine

    The tablet was $1 so I figured why not replace Galaxy Tab 2. The battery life is bad only three or four hours at most with 4 hours for a full charge. It uses a USB microB connector but you need to use the insignia wall adapter to recharge the unit. You can't recharge the tablet using a USB 2 micro-B cable and a regular AC adapter. Next time I need to look at price AND use time.

    Could not get activated with my provider

    Hoped to get a tablet for my mom so she could Skype with her grand children. Thought I was getting a fabulous 'holiday special' - Only $1 with a two year contract. Could not get the device activated in the store after spending over 2 hours! Tried getting it activated through my brand new two year plan provider over the phone - couldn't! They never even heard of this device in spite of it stating " #provider name# compatible" right on the box. Took it back to Best Buy and they swapped out the SIM and the tablet - both brand new, spent three hours, and still could not get it activated! Tried again over the phone with my provider. No can do. Took it to a 'provider store' and they could not get it activated. This thing has tied me to a two year plan - I no longer qualify for a 'deal' because it has been too long - basically, I have a data plan and paper weight. I might as well try activating a brick. I'm tired.

    Decent tablet

    This is a very decent tablet. I got it pretty inexpensive in used condition from CowBoom. Unfortunately, I couldn't get LTE work with T-Mobile. However, we use it a a remote for Chromecast and play games once in a while and for that purpose it's really great. The screen is very nice too.

    NO STORAGE MEMORY

    With no way to expand the internal memory with an SD card this thing is practically a paper weight if you want to play games or anything with it. As for it's other specs it's top notch.

    Its hard to get any decent tablet for under $100, but got this one for less than $100 and it works with Verizon LTE straight out of the box.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    has SD card slot, but with this version of kitkat, cannot transfer apps or data to the card with the program manager. i tried other managers with no success. supplied file manager is useless. OK for some basic tablet use for sale price such as FB or email. no ability to upgrade to lollipop.

    Tablet wil not turn on sometimes, just showing the load screen, or the charge icon for hours. I've tried resetting it, charging it for 4 hours, etc. still no power up. This tablet is very slow, not the Internet, the software itself. The Google store etc takes several minutes to load up if at all. Very unhappy that I purchased this. Should have ponied up the money for an iPad. At least they work properly.
