    Tablet works for Google programs hat my kids use for school. It is an affordable option for a tablet so kids have their own device. The camera quality is not great but is easy to use.

    Only Cons: BAD CAMERA, low budget sound speaker For everyone who has received the message try rebooting your tablet and restore your data. Besides that, this is a good tablet great for browsing the net and playing games and typing if you buy a keyboard. I'm enjoying mines! :)

    I actually returned this tablet and bought a different brand which works great. This particular tablet was very slow and we could not get any apps to download correctly. I should of known better when it was only 35.00

    I bought two of these for my 4 and 3 year olds on black friday. We opened them yesterday and one would not work at all. I have been to the store THREE times today and finally had to return it because Geek Squad couldnt even fix it. It would connect to Wi-Fi but then it would disconnect itself. And for downloading apps.... just forget it... All I got was error codes. We reset the factory settings twice and then the Geek Squad reset it a few times also and nothing! This was my first and last purchase of this brand! Highly disappointed with a very upset 4 year old!

    Purchased for my 4yo, works good except a couple of issues. 1 it won't power off. 2 when it looses power from drained battery it will not download any more games from play store unless you do a complete reset, which makes any apps you have already downloaded to be done again and looses any pics you have taken. I was impressed with the number of adult apps preloaded, all of the google apps were there as well as many others. If you are looking for a super basic functioning tablet this will work, just remember it's the cheapest for a reason. For me it was a good buy because I wanted a tablet for my youngest so he would leave his sisters alone.

    You get what you pay for. This tablet is so slow and freezes so much. I got it for my 2 year old son and it took forever to download games and kept freezing when he was watching yoiutube. We used it for a day and I took it back and got a galaxy note

    Purchase was as a gift for my 14 yr old. Added an SD card for extra memory. We were off and running, but the unit freezes up from time to time and the haptic feedback is slow. Push a button and the reaction is slow unlike a phone. Op system and app store have issues loading as well

    Don't waste your money or your time !!! I bought 3 of them online for my 3 boys ...none of them worked ..would connect to the internet but after a half hour the Google play store would show error messages non stop trouble shooted a million times and it would work for a bit then do same thing over and over ...factory reset all 3 multiple times ...no luck ..I felt like such a bad dad because I tried to save a few bucks so the day after Christmas I went out and bought them each a better tablet... All 3 are now in the back room hoping I can either return or figure out a way to salvage these pieces of trash.....never again will I skimp especially on a tablet or electronic device... Wouldn't recommend this to anyone and I can't believe they even allow this to be sold

    The tablet would be wonderful if it would just work. I think maybe the issues are with the operating system. The first time I had problems with it several apps wouldn't work and the play store wasn't functioning properly. I couldn't download any thing from the app store. I spent nearly two hours on the phone with customer service, we uninstalled, installed, updated, restored and finally we got it working. Less than two weeks later the same thing has happened again. The tablet is sitting non-fuctioning. I havent had time to call customer service and work through it again. I hate to say it but im terribly disappointed with the tablet. I bought it for my husband for Christmas, he's not tech savvy and wanted something basic but I feel like I wasted money.

    I bought this tablet for my 7 year old son. It's great for car rides and to keep him occupied. The memory is large enough to download a handful of apps/games, but it can fill up very quickly. The battery will last about a few hours of constant use, so bring your charger on the long trips. It has a web browser to do the online stuff, but you won't be wow-ed by its speed. I bought a generic case to protect against foreseen drops, but at under $50, I won't cry when the big one hits.

    Great tablet for the price but the adage of you get what you pay for is part of the deal. Camera is not great and there are much better higher end tablets out there. Connects to the internet relatively well and have not had any issues cruising the web or streaming videos. Great tablet if you don't want to spend a lot of money, but again you get want you pay for. If quality is what you want go elsewhere if a cheap capable tablet is all you need this is your tablet.

    Bought this as a cheap entry level tablet for my kids. I expected a low quality screen, camera, etc. However, I also did expect that it would be able to INSTALL applications. Although it totes running lollipop for the OS, most application installations just fail with an error number. One that did install (you tube kids) crashes quickly whenever trying to play a video. Don't waste your time on this one. Maybe an insignia is better. My next step is a big leap in cost to a Samsung entry level tablet. I've had one for myself for over a year with nothing but reliability.

    We bought this for little kids to play with and beat up to keep them occupied. Display is lousy and the battery life isn't very good either. But for 29 bucks we can't complain too much

    I bought this tablet because it was the cheapest one I could find and need something that would work till I could buy a better one. I have no complaints about it and am surprised by the quality at such a low cost. I am in no hurry to buy a better one at this time cause this one is fine. I say it is good for the money!

    we had trouble with the sound from the start. it would make funny noises whenever kids were using the apps, but was fine when using youtube or something like that. There was also severe difficulty in downloading apps or games from the play store due to error code. We tried all troubleshooting and still there was the error code. We ended up taking it back. even for the amount of money it cost, it wasnt worth the hassle
