    After my previous tablet died, I went to a Kindle for almost 2 years. That was great for reading books and mags, but I really missed the full features of a tablet. This has decent storage and is much faster than a Kindle at navigating the internet. You can customize the home pages and group your apps nicely. The app store has the Kindle, Play Books, and Nook apps, as well as Overdrive, RB Digital, and Libby for your reading pleasure. My rating would be 5 stars, but Samsung insists on loading a bunch of apps on that I don't use and am unable to uninstall - just wasting space!

    I bought the tablet to be able to teach virtual classes and video conference from home. This Samsung fits those needs perfectly! It's super intuitive, has a slim- sleek profile all at a very reasonable price. The pre-loaded apps are great and this tablet has a pretty nice battery life as well. Great little tablet at a great price.

    I purchased this tablet to use it as an everyday lightweight mini tablet to read my emails and stream videos. So far, I like the lightweight feel, easily fits into my bag without struggles. The performance of this tablet is pretty good. I have other higher end Samsung tablets and this one meets my needs. Can't go wrong with the price! Thanks Samsung and Best Buy!

    I was having trouble with my Kindle HD8 with it's slowness in loading some apps. The Kindle app store has limitations. so I side loaded the Google Playstore and that gave access to many different apps. This made it more useable, but it took forever to use some apps. And some apps wouldn't load correctly. I decided on looking at this Samsung tablet. The processor is faster and the onboard ram is .5 gigs bigger which makes a difference that is noticable. Same resolution and size , but I've hadn't any problems with any app. Plus it has split screen which is nice feature. For an easy tablet to hold and use, I'd definitely recommend this. Keep in mind it's a basic tablet and not a power horse.

    I have purchased well over 100 of these tablets to use at a trucking company I work at. We use these to sync with the ELD systems on the truck through wifi. They work great and you can beat the price. They are easy to navigate and when one of our drivers drops one we just by a new one and load a backup in minutes using the samsung account.

    This was my first Samsung tablet & it's definitely an upgrade from previous brands. Clear & crisp screen, easy to navigate & just the right size for my needs. My only negative finding has been the speakers are not very loud, but this is something I can live with

    I bought this device to replace my aging Nook. I wanted a lightweight device that I can carry in my purse when we travel. I bought a small e-reader but have not been satisfied with it. I have set this device up with Overdrive and my local library, it was very easy to set up and has been working like a charm ever since. The battery does charge fast and lasts far longer than my aging Nook. I give this device 5 stars due to size, lightweight and battery life. I am definitely a satisfied customer!

    I purchased this Galaxy Tab A and have decided it was one of my best devices decisions ever. It is fast, has yet to outrun the battery, and is just the perfect size. Definitely a go anywhere and do anything device. The android system is so user friendly. I use it for everything - work, home life, organizations, etc. My grandkids love it too. Keeps them off my phone playing games. Am going to purchase a second one to keep at my office!

    My daughters love their tabs! Im doing this review almost a year after our purchase lol so even a year later the tab still runs great! Just keep up with the updates. It was mainly purchased for games like Roblox, Talking Tom, ect. The tab runs great still. Even though you got all that room you still want to make sure your clearing the cache and not have 20 games downloaded cuz games will start to glitch. Other than that my daughters still love it <3
