awesome tablet... not sure why all the bad reviews

awesome tablet... not sure why all the bad reviews
Not sure what all the complaining is about. Once I figured out how to navigate the tablet everything was a breez . You need to search and add apps on the parents side (like angry birds, temple run, candy crush) then it will show up on the kids side. Easy peasy! My kids are not getting them until Christmas, but I spent a good portion of my day yesterday customizing and adding the things my boys would want. It is just a normal tablet with a kids section. My husband and I are really happy with it.My only complaint is that there isn't expandable storage options. And it would have been nice to receive an instruction manual as it took me a little while to get the hang of it, do it might be really difficult for someone that is not tech savvy

OK I read a negative review on this product. But I COMPLETELY DISAGREE

PROS:

1. A++++ customer service! The warranty has been 100% useful as randomly the first Kindle Fire we had randomly kept rebooting itself. I got a new Kindle in one business day, brand new. No muss, no fuss, no questions asked!

2. Parental controls- LOVE THEM! you can turn it into basically a DVD player with the click of a button. My daughter cannot browse, cannot go online etc. I love that feature. I think kids have WAY too much freedom nowadays!

3. Time limits- LOVE THEM! if it was up to my 8yo dd, she would be on the tablet 24/7. I can set it up to turn on and off whenever I want. I can also limit the amount of hours on the device and require her to read daily, which she does happily and joyfully.

4. Easy to control content- In order for my daughter to get a new app, I need to allow it on her device! Love it! I get to review and approve any and all games she plays!!

5. The case is awesome!- my daughter is a klutz, hasn't happened yet, but dropping the kindle on a hard surface should be no problem. The case is very high quality

6. graphics/screen- beautiful crystal clear images, videos are clear and crisp etc.

7. ease of use- for her, it's a breeze, she never asks me for help. If an 8 yo can do it, that's pretty darn good designing.

8. charge time- i wanted to mention this because i saw other people getting annoyed by the amount of time it stays charged. It stays good for about 3 hours of active play from my estimation. i've never noticed slow charging, and my daughter has not complained about it charging slowly (and she would notice because she loves being on it)

9. Ease of obtaining new apps, games etc.- i love going on amazon, clicking on kindle fire, clicking apps games, clicking on the game i like and clicking send to my fire, that simple. i like that option on top of searching through my kindle.

10. reading books- daughter just clicks on the book and it opens- simple.

11. Amazon free time- tons of free books, apps, and games included in your purchase. Revolving books pop up which you normally would need to purchase.

CONS

1. I think the navigation of the menus when you want to make major changes is a little difficult. Once you get the hang of it it gets easier, but if you're not good with this kind of stuff it might be frustrating

2. Sometimes disconnects from the wi-fi for no reason- this is not my only electronics item that does this but it can be quite irritating.

3. low memory, but that was my fault I should have bought more memory :( The OS takes up over 4.5 gigs! Make sure to get the 16gb tablet!!!

That's all the cons I can think of.

I truthfully LOVE Amazon. They are one of the few companies that value your time and loyalty. I love Amazon Prime. This kindle to me has been nothing but awesome other than the small snafu with the original fire having an issue, but it was resolved so simply! I would 100% reccomend this product to people who value their children's privacy, protection and giving them a good quality product!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 2 Year Old Loves It and So Do I
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2015

My 2.5 year old daughter received this as a gift at Christmas (per our request) and it's been a big hit. I'm a fairly tech-forward dad, so I knew exactly what I was getting. It is just a regular Amazon Fire tablet, with one free year of Freetime Unlimited, a replacement policy, and a foam case. Here are my thoughts on each.

1. Amazon Fire Tablet - One reason we wanted this instead of a Leapfrog or other "child's tablet" is because the adults can actually use this tablet when our daughter is not. It's fully functioning, so we can switch the profile over for our owns apps and internet access. I think in the long-term, we'll use this much more than we would a Leapfrog. The charge is standard for a tablet, but remember that your child is probably going to leave it sitting on the couch playing a video while they're in the other room. Our daughter has already learned that when her 2 hours of play are up, it's time to play with something else.

The storage is quite low. While I was playing with it and trying to figure everything out, I filled up the storage in no time. After I did a factory reset and didn't download everything I saw, the storage is still fine after a month of play. So, that's the one negative I would have to say about it, but my daughter mostly watches videos over wifi which doesn't take up storage space. We limit the number of apps on our parent profiles so we don't waste space.

Because we don't download many apps and because we depend on wifi, this tablet isn't very useful out and about. At least, you need to plan ahead for that. So if you're making a road trip or bringing it to the store, make sure your child has some apps or books downloaded to keep them entertained. You can also buy the USB adapter and use a USB flash drive to watch movies in the car.

2. Freetime Unlimited - Our experience with Freetime to this point has been positive. I entered my daughter's age and it seems to pick out the apps that work for her. It's mostly princess books and Disney shows, which she loves. After one-year, the pricing isn't terrible, especially as a Prime member, so we'll probably stick with it. Freetime is a completely locked environment, so there's no worry about my daughter getting on the Internet or accessing YouTube.

One neat feature is that Freetime allows you to give children access to any of your own content. We use Netflix a lot and my daughter has a lot of different shows on there. I was able to download Netflix on my parent account, grant her access to the app via Freetime, and it shows up under her child account. Now, I can't prevent her from going into my queue and watching violent/action movies, but that's due to the Netflix app, not Freetime's limitation.

3. Replacement Policy - This is what makes this tablet "worth it" as a children's tablet. For two years if my child breaks the tablet, they'll replace it. Can't really beat that.

4. Foam Case - I'll admit, I laughed at the foam case when I first saw it, but it does its job. It's lightweight so that you don't feel like you're holding a brick. My daughter dropped her tablet twice in Walmart from the shopping cart and the case protected it with no issue.

Overall, I have no complaints. I wish there was more storage and I wish it was "Freetime Unlimited for Life," but ultimately this is a great tablet for my 2 year old to tote around, watch her shows, and free up the TV from Nickelodeon. As a bonus, my wife has stopped asking to use my iPad because she uses our daughter's Fire after she's gone to bed.
