    Got this tablet when it's on sales. I just want to get a tablet so that I can watch some video and web browsing while sitting on my couch. Doesn't want to spend a lot of money on some premium high end tablet, and this tablet is working perfectly fine on youtube app and surfing on the web.

    I purchased two of these for my elderly parents. One of them had to be returned because after one use it would not power up. They both seem to not have long battery life. But these do the trick for both of them with surfing the web and playing games. For the most part they are user friendly and they can function pretty good

    Reasonably priced but battery life is very short! For the price (that was on sale) its a good deal for the resolution and basic video streaming. Great for kids, with no worries about it being abused.

    I got this on sale during the holidays for my son to watch videos in the car. The tablet has a fast processor and good internet speeds. The boot up time is a bit slow and the battery life is not the best. I get maybe 3 hours just watching downloaded Amazon videos offline. For the sale price it's worth it.

    This is my first tablet. I wanted something I can check my email, YouTube and web browsing and watch Netflix while in bed. I got tired of using my cell with 4.3 inch screen to do these things. I like the fact there’s not bloatware and is running windows lollipop. I don’t like too much the wide angle; I trend use it vertically because it interfere with speakers when you hold it; and the speaker are not that great. Other than that, its simple basic tablet. I don’t regret purchasing it for 99 bucks when it first came out not too long ago. Also, camera not too great, but i don't care about the camera or selfie wont' be using it. And, I love that fact Wifi is wifi 802.11ac not wifi 802.11n

    Got this for my kids. The screen is great and it is light weight. battery life is great. I read that the charging port has had issues breaking with other reviews. I can see that happening due to it having a weaker feel to it. However, I told the kids to be gentle when plugging and unplugging and so far it has been fine. Only issue is that the processor seems a but sluggish. But it does what they need. This isn't a tablet for work or business.

    Overall it’s an excellent tablet – bright and vivid display, good speed, and easy to use – at an affordable price. The only reason I gave it a 4-star is that when doing video calls the video from the other end is upside down.

    A gift for my aunt

    My elderly aunt loves Facebook and when her other tablet died, she was unable to enjoy checking on all of us (she lives several hours away). At a recent family reunion we presented her with this tablet and she was brought to tears. It was easy for her to use and now we stay in touch even more and she gets to see all the things going on in all of our lives.

    I went into Best Buy looking for a tablet with a screen bigger than my Ipod Touch. But not too big. Also didn't want to spend a lot of $$$. The least expensive tablets didn't have a very sharp display. Salesperson pointed out the Insignia's high definition display. The price was $99 but the salesperson said it would probably go on sale in the next few weeks and I could get an adjustment when it did. Three weeks later it was on sale for $69 and a visit to the store with the receipt got me a $30 credit. This tablet feels like my wife's overpriced Ipad and does just about everything hers does. I'm very happy with it.

    I ended up taking the first one I ordered back to the store. I basically just wanted to be able to read books but it was nearly impossible. Nothing would load without a struggle - several times of shutting down & then restarting. Then there was the constant need to recharge. I could be at 100%, read for an hour and have to charge again. However, I had read all the good reviews so decided to try again. So far I'm pleased. I was able to download books easily and can read for hours without a problem. My only complaint would be that it's a little hard to plug in the charger but that's minor and it does charge up quickly. Have only had it 2 weeks so will reevaluate later.

    For the money, this is one amazing tablet. The size is perfect and it is so easy to navigate. The battery life on it has been amazing. Today at work I streamed a radio station for over 7 hours without any issues. So glad I bought it!!!

    We got this for my son to replace his Galaxy Tab 2. The Insignia tablet is quick, easy to use, and a good everyday tablet. The display is nice (not top of the line HD, but adequate). And it's running Android 5.1.

    The first had issues--after charging for six hours per instructions, showed strange "test pattern" lines, and took 10 min to start up. Set up was really smooth, has a really good feel and resolution, started randomly shutting down and wouldn't restart for 10-15 minutes. My daughter lost whatever Minecraft thingee she was building--big deal I guess :). Best Buy was great about an easy exchange, found a case in eBay since they only carried a couple black ones.

    I bought this when it was $60 in November 2015. I think is is an awesome little table for the price. I installed a 32 g card that works well. I use this for work in my OB/GYN office.

    This tablet looks nice and is a good deal for the money. Great when you want an inexpensive tablet to play around on, check Facebook, do basic internet activity. Advanced gamers would want something higher-end, but at this price, this is a good item that you don't have to worry too much about if it gets lost or damaged.

    For $100 you get two cameras, the latest Android OS, and a good decent amount of memory and storage space. Absolute best tablet for this price, and very reliable.
