    This is a great tablet for the size. Could it have more sure but I needed it for my drone. It works great and for the price it couldn't be better.

    Great product my daughter loves it. The only thing I hate the charging port doesn't hold when I try to charge it sometimes. Its very annoying all the time. Please check this problem.

    First one the power button was messed up, and the tablet got very hot during charge. Second one very hot when charging and in use, then just went off wouldn't come back on. Got a Amazon Fire tablet instead. Also te wifi kept going out playing games.

    I'm not happy with this purchase! I plug in the tablets and everything seems to be working right. Ten minutes later I walk by it and all the lights are off and nothing is charged. I'm sick of my wife yelling at me because she can't get it to work right!

    If you've got a child that's just starting out with a tablet this is a good deal....you definitely need to watch the charging port because it wears out very quickly....I do recommend getting the extended warranty as it has saved me numerous times....

    I don't use it daily, but about 2 times a week. It will not hold a charge when turned off, so I have to keep it plugged in and after about the 4th time recharging it won't come back on at all. I'll be returning it to the store for a refund.

    Purchased this item in hopes of having a basic, low cost mobile tablet. However, it was extremely glitchy and the UI was disappointing to say the least. Ended up returning within a week and spent a few more dollars for an Amazon Fire.
