    Like other reviews this tablet is very user friendly but the screen did go black once but after a few hours it finally turned on. Why did this happen, I have no idea. No issues with it since then. Bought it for a 88yr old friend. She has no complaints so far.

    This would be a good tablet for a kid or as a starter tablet. It reboots and shuts down a lot.

    I did not like it. I didnt expect much from a $70 tablet. Everything is laggy. It takes forever to turn on. The speaker is aweful. Screen is nice for the price. Overall, Not worth the price. Its more of a $30 tablet at most.

      Thank you very much for reviewing this tablet, I am glad to read that you found this useful, remember that the speed can be determined by the memory and apps that are being used at the same time, however if you think this could be a malfunction, please do not hesitate to take this to your local Geek Squad to have it checked under your 1 year of manufacturers warranty.

    My 12 year old son bought this for himself and the first one we charged all the way up and later that day went to set it up and the battery was dead even though it had been off the whole time. We went back the next weekend and exchanged it, he's now had it apox 20 days (so outside of the 15 day return) and as of last night it won't charge. We plugged it in and it's showing it's charging but after several hours the battery percentage hasn't changed. He's very upset because he played it and watched videos on it all the time and now he can't. He saved his money from report cards for quite a while to buy it and now he's had 2 that won't work and it's too late to get his money back to buy a different brand.
