"very disappointed"

"personally i find that sort of thing really annoying"

"can get kids you tube items and netflix etc can get a good case off ebay for £5 which does the job of the more expensive kids version"

"in terms of loading pages it's pretty slow but it's the most basic one so i wasn't expecting it to be amazing"

"i can't give you any specs or any other details as i'm a bit past learning learning technical stuff at my age but my kindle fire 9th gen will be a constant companion for the next 8 to 10 yes as my kindle fire 2nd did the last 8 years¡"

"the biggest issue though is the device volume"

"another issue is alexa"

"i've been buying the amazon fire tablets for yrs my children love them and it keeps them occupied dont think i i could be without them again they are strong and sturdy excellent for kids as they do tend to drop them the only problem i have is that i have 2 keep replacing the chargers they tend to get"

"i know this is a crazy cheap device and you get what you pay for but i’ve had this a few months now and it’s never held a charge for when i’d like to use it!"

"the tablet is really just an excuse for amazon to bombard you with ads at every single moment and its usefulness is very limited"

"major problem : i have lots of micro sd cards with lots of videos etc"

"same problem despite the fact i have 2 old kindles that connect perfectly"

"i was expecting something very basic"

"this little gadget does so much and i’m absolutely thrilled with it!"

"i was a bit annoyed with this as i had checked before i bought the fire 7 on the amazon website that the app was available and it was however it turns out not to be compatible with the fire 7"

"i’m also having trouble loading music from my computer although i’m still trying"

"at one point i was considering sending it back because it would not move away from the internet screen and it was saying i needed a internet connect which was no good when you are away on holiday"

"i can charge both kindle fires at the same time use the old one when a recharge is required"

"the first time i have bought a fire tablet and almost immediately after using it for the first time i was bitterly disappointed"

"no access to items already bought from the 'play store' and a limited number of apps compared to play"

"this is my second kindle fire 7 my first kindle fire second generation has served me so well for many years and still works as well as the first day i got it but the charging port gave up the ghost "

"so i thought i'd get the new 20019 edition not disappointed with it in any way"

"very limiting especially with child profiles it's crazy that there is no way to allow prime video access on the child profiles"

"* poor battery life i restricted my daughter to 30 minutes per day but the battery was always dead after 1"

"doesn’t even have chrome!"

"it's a little slow sluggish and display isn't that great the text nowhere near as crisp as my ipad but hey it only cost 30 quid"

"if you want a tablet for the internet then don't buy this it's just too slow and freezes"

"i do not use it for anything else because it is painfully slow so it is destined to spend most of it's life in a drawer"

"sneaky underhand and a complete waste of time as i don't play games apps which is all i seem to get ads for"

"as it was a fault due to poor design we thought this was a bit unfair as we noticed there was a number of reviews with people experiencing problems with the poor socket"

"this is extremely annoying!"

"my kids are 8 and 6 and i absolutely hate screens"

"the worst thing is that the internet is full of tutorials for you to do this that and the other to fix these problems whether they'll work remains to be seen why not make it work out of the box?"

"really disappointing"

"what really is shocking is the software the silk browser is absolutely awful"

"huge problem though is trying to transfer my photos from the old tablet to the new"

"battery life: barely one day with screen off and only occasional instruction to alexa to set up a timer"

"same price and supposedly the same but pretty poor quality!"

"screen size was quite small compared to the fire tablet i bought my wife a few yrs ago and battery life seems awful so far too"

"00 extra to have the adverts removed on the tablets otherwise the adverts can at times be annoying or irritating or perhaps feel intrusive"

"so not ideal and setting the tablet up suddenly became quite stressful!"

"this tablet is one of the biggest waste of money i've ever spent!"

"there is so much to like about fire tablets but i've decided the major disadvantage outweighs the positives"

"this device is horrible it actually makes me feel dirty using it"

"maps are just absolutely useless"

"i do seem to buy a few fire tablets a year around black friday when they are cheap generally because the children are quiet careless and have cracked the screens and yes the fire still works !"

"appalling battery life"

"utter garbage return arranged samsung tab a ordered direct from samsung amazon don't deserve that sale even though it cost a little more develop a decent os and pay some taxes amazon"

"its also slow and everytime i open the alexa appit doesnt work"

"if you're looking to get a decent tablet don't get this it's highly locked down and you have to do some unofficial work around to get the play store working and even then not all apps work with it"

"00 extra to have the adverts removed on the tablets otherwise the adverts can at times be annoying or irritating or perhaps feel intrusive"

"setup was quick & easy but updating the software took a while possibly due mainly to my slow internet though"

"this device is horrible it actually makes me feel dirty using it"

"currently struggling with an error screen that i can’t get sorted"

"even national rail app only has limited functionality"

"the home screen is absolutely cluttered with in your face amazon kindle bloatware shoving advertising down your throat"

"this latest model is more susceptible to the small oily deposits left by fingers on the screen needing cleaning about twice as often as my previous fire"

"you get a lot for your money with this kindle if you can put up with it constantly needing charging"

"the only issue we have is that alexa doesn't work in kids mode and the selected shut down timer software based to set screen time for kids doesn't work very well"

"terrible purchase if the kids hadn’t already been given them i’d be sending them back"

"as it was a fault due to poor design we thought this was a bit unfair as we noticed there was a number of reviews with people experiencing problems with the poor socket"

"it was also showing signs of old age freezing and being rather slow"

"but the processing speeds sliding between screens and or multi tasking seems slow and ‘laggy’"

"not much use then and i feel cheated"

"it's a little laggy but for the money you cannot go wrong"

"the final straw was that i couldn't install a free app from the app store without entering payment information"

"the real down side is the constant bombardment with adverts but a quick right click and hit ignore get rid"

"only once have i managed to use my voice to open and play a title you normally have to touch it and confirm even if it only brings up 1 option in the search so the idea of controlling it from my voice from the front of the car just doesn't work"

"return return return"

"very odd predictable texts too"

"it was pretty outdated so made a spontaneous purchase on the very day this new device was launched"

"reminders don't have snooze button if you don't hear them at set time they just move themselves into completed"

"one minor gripe is that the cost of a cover is quite high"

"75% of apps i've tried to download from the appstore are either restricted or close on startup"

"the sd card was almost empty as very few things got stored on it & only amazon video downloads"

"if you can stretch to £90 you may wish to get the fire hd 10 refurbished instead which is the best tablet in the fire range which normally costs £159"

"amazons fire os is very intrusive and overwelming ay first if your used to android or apple os's"

"definitely amazon can work on improvements: positives: price size 32gb customer service negative: no android and having to install google play yourself screen with lots glare and reflection no 3g or cell options screen crack easy my last one nexus 3years some minor scratch but not a single crack this one in less than 6 weeks slow processor always having amazon advertise on the main screen before you unlock autocorrect not very smart"

"seems to drain quickly even when not in use"

"however the auto shut off of alexa to prevent my child using the shopping app on the tab is a really big down fall"

"so easy to set up as well all my details books ect just came straight across once i logged into my amazon account the only frustrating thing is changing most off my passwords for all my other websites because with the auto fill i couldn't remember most of them!"

"i bought this thinking it would be a bargain to replace my dying ipad and defunct e reader"

"it was a bit hard to plug in for charging the socket is very stiff but that might just have been my hands disability "

"avoid just avoid"

"screen is poor sound is poor and limitations are a joke"

"spent ages trying different headphones looking at the help pages etc"

"my daughter uses the tablet to watch crap on youtube bbc iplayer and some of the fire kids games content"

"they’re really lagging behind!"

"only fault i would pick up on is that the chargers and charging port do tend to go the wires often need replacing when used by little hands and the charging port is often the first thing to go"

"i had a slight problem which an email to amazon quickly had me doing the right thing so all is now well"

"for its crazy low price you can forgive any small shortcoming which there aren't many of and be pleasantly surprised when it does more than you thought it was capable of"

"the crash dialogue gives an option to report the crash but the email is bounced back from wps in chinese"

"i have found that this model loses charge quickly unless in airplane mode"

"i have an acer android that cost a hundred and thirty pounds and this matches that in everything in fact i find it quicker i noticed you had a few negative reviews and all i can say is what did they expect for 50 quid"

"this thing is a total nightmare i can't install any apps or even access my google account on to it"

"you must know this is an inferior product"

"definitely amazon can work on improvements: positives: price size 32gb customer service negative: no android and having to install google play yourself screen with lots glare and reflection no 3g or cell options screen crack easy my last one nexus 3years some minor scratch but not a single crack this one in less than 6 weeks slow processor always having amazon advertise on the main screen before you unlock autocorrect not very smart"

"even brand new cards just opened and used get the same error"

"obviously you should restrict how much your kids are on the devices but that's not the products fault"

"it feels slow using all the apps i have installed so far"

"the battery life is draining literally it doesn't last the day yet i don't use it for movies games or youtube but the battery goes down rapidly compared to every other tablet i've used"

"for its crazy low price you can forgive any small shortcoming which there aren't many of and be pleasantly surprised when it does more than you thought it was capable of"

"that's just plain crazy"

"the amazon app store is very restricted and doesn't contain many of the great apps you might want to put on your tablet"

"hidden in tiny print was that the book order had to be over £30 so i didn't get the chance to buy 2 books to get to over £30 i hate childish tricks like that"

"the amazon adverts on the start up screen are slightly annoying although you can get rid of them but it will cost you a tenner unless you're really it savvy"

"very little assistance from customer service my son is still waiting for a kindle that actually works"

"after mucking around with the settings and downloading some software and throwing it across the sofa and waiting for ages for it to make a wifi connection and getting used to dabbing the single pixel on the screen that has part of the button that i want to press and hunching over it with my glasses on like an old technophobic person i can honestly say that it's much easier to just take a laptop"

"the screen resolution etc is great but the lack of memory is already a problem and i feel pressured to use one of amazon's sd cards which are over priced !"

"my only negative having had it for a couple of weeks is that the battery life is not brilliant but is ok as i only paid £24"

"a shame really as this fire doesnt seem to be good at much"

"can’t really condemn it as so far had little trouble with"

"screen is poor sound is poor and limitations are a joke"

"i would be interested for amazon to contact me directly about this as to whether this is a known issue or i actually have a faulty tablet"

"the tablet is really just an excuse for amazon to bombard you with ads at every single moment and its usefulness is very limited"

"amazon must know that there are hacks out there to remove the ads and also to allow you to install google play to gain access to a myriad of apps that you can’t get on the fire because amazon have blocked them"

"the actual fire is slightly narrower than the previous one so it makes holding it a little easier"

"the charging is done by a micro usb port which means slower charging than a usb type c therefore be prepared to keep in on charge for couple to top up the battery i knew whether 32 or 16 gb neither is enough for my need so opted for a 16gb and purchased a micro sd at the same time easy to insert and install"

"the device is also un ashamedly an advertising front window for amazon although hardly surprising"

"it fails to focus on anything so the photographs are blurry and basically unuseable"

"i had asked the question and was given an incorrect response from a purchaser"

"i had a lot of problems at first with the kindle doing very odd things like randomly jumping to facebook messenger when least expected"

"if they toned down the advertisig i'd give a 5 but it doesn't pretend to be a surface ipad galaxytab!"

"the screen is a fingerprint magnet and even though this is the new fast model it still lags and freezes"

"maybe that's fine if amazon are having some kind of petty spat with google but keep it to yourselves it's embarrassing there are lots of 3rd party apps caught in the crossfire here!"

"hardly used is 2 weeks and stop working doesn’t charge"

"another problem is that the fire seems to need re charging very quickly and i am concerned that if i take it fully charged to the poolside when on holiday it will not last the normal sun bathing day before needing to be re charged"

"the home screen is absolutely cluttered with in your face amazon kindle bloatware shoving advertising down your throat"

"no good if giving to children or adults with no account and scary if you think they’ll get access to spend your money via the account link"

"my existing tablet an ipad 3 apple have now deemed obsolete and no longer support"

"the pad is not a patch on apple i wish i hadn't been tempted by the prime low price"

"ads playing on my device outside of apps feels manipulative"

"the os is also forked from an obsolete version of android and well below the minimum api level that developers need to target"

"my other fire was only 5gb and i had run out of space and everything seemed so slow"

"have to say not much protection around tablet in it's box and the delivery box was damaged"

"* constant adverts for apps on the lock screen adult profiles * cannot setup additional adult users without them having their own amazon account i share an account with my wife we want separate profiles under one account "

"i use my iphone for everything so this is really just a cheap backup for travelling & if it gets lost or stolen it’s not the end of the world"

"i purchased this for my 6 year old daughter wish i had known before purchasing but fire tablets are complete rubbish: * no play store without a simple but annoying hack "

"only issues are it can seem a bit laggy here and there and screen quality in terms of pixels is good but not the best"

"audiobooks so i can now use amazon audiable great stuff no mre ripping from cd to mp3 player pay download and listen well simple the only thing iam unsure about at rhe moment is rhe battery life especialy for watching films but i have to say on a first use well impressed the sale price made it an"

"i understand amazon wants to make money they are a business but they can at least not bombard their users with ads after they bought a product from them"

"yes the screen is a little sluggish and it’s very easy to hit the wrong character on the keyboard but these things are minor"

"i would be interested for amazon to contact me directly about this as to whether this is a known issue or i actually have a faulty tablet"

"also its pathetic that my amazon account along with all payment details are easily available on the tablets!"

"it was very old and stopped working"

"note the speaker position has moved on this model i keep having to change the way i hold it so that i don't keep blocking the speaker with my palm or fingers"

"another small point is that it advertises books on the lock screen"

"the device is also as expected heavily geared towards amazon stuff which is fine but their interface is just slapped over googles android system and it’s done poorly just give us an android device?"

"but for me it's too small"

"and having unknowingly opted in to this does not feel fair"

"un able to put password on this or remove the shopping app"

"i thought to smash it to the wall but it won't worth to destroy the wall"

"finally half the time it misses off the first letter of the work you're typing perhaps to avoid unwanted button presses but really?"

"once logged in they could resume where they left off on their now redundant kindle"

"and when you try to change the setting it refuses your choice"

"i used the camera to take 1 snap and haven’t used it since"

"very restrictive indeed"

"no real customisation no real killer app even the synchronisation to your amazon stuff is a bit"

"poor work amazon really not upto your usual standards"

"my main gripes: 1"

"no doubt i shall get used to it but at present i am still struggling somewhat"

"i also like the alexa feature as can use the tablet hands free the screen size fits nicely in the hand & isnt very heavy so taking it around in your bag pocket will be ok i also think that it is very sturdy so shouldnt break very easy time till tell though i am also looking at getting a case for it tho preferably one with a built in stand as apart from reading my books i plan on watching a few films on it while travel on the train etc"

"yes it's cheap but i was really disappointed by this"

"very limiting especially with child profiles it's crazy that there is no way to allow prime video access on the child profiles"

"the music player is good but without taking up a monthly payment for millions of songs i have to load my songs on a micro sd card bought special beware you get the right one or it won’t work right"

"ability to lock out elements for kids and set restriction passwords is excellent too"

"although i use a bigger tablet normally i don’t find it too small a screen with this 7” one"

"if the screen quality was there and it didn’t lag with just the amazon apps it would be a solid 5"

"they do not recognise it and it doesn't recognise them"

"i brought this to replace my old kindle hdx 7" as the battery life wasn't very good any more however the new fire has a terrible battery life it's about the same as my five year old hdx"

"the only saving graces are the expandable memory and the camera such a shame as amazon have a missed a trick here"

"* can restrict 'screen time' or set time limits on apps as a whole but can't set unlimited access to specific educational apps etc"

"i found it hard for the charger lead to fit in the fire tablet was afraid to force in case it damaged so i returned it"

"my wife's sage ones cover is padded"

"to sum it up unless your near a charge point when you need to use it it’s a useless paper weight"

"when i play games it auto rotates so that it is upside down"

"this particular version is also very slow"

"i'm hugely disappointed with this"

"then on xmas day when we looked at it properly it is hugely clunky for reading books"

"samsung tablets are easier to use and don't make you pay extra to remove adverts but you pay more for it to begin with"

"the amazon adverts on the start up screen are slightly annoying although you can get rid of them but it will cost you a tenner unless you're really it savvy"

"special price as the tablet has ads locked in to the screen when you power up"

"00 extra to have the adverts removed on the tablets otherwise the adverts can at times be annoying or irritating or perhaps feel intrusive"

"definitely amazon can work on improvements: positives: price size 32gb customer service negative: no android and having to install google play yourself screen with lots glare and reflection no 3g or cell options screen crack easy my last one nexus 3years some minor scratch but not a single crack this one in less than 6 weeks slow processor always having amazon advertise on the main screen before you unlock autocorrect not very smart"

"i have held on to three broken devices should amazon eventually offer a repair or return service"

"after further research i discovered that fire blocked launcherhijack app!"

"i use it all the time not just at night and i have noticed i have headaches less frequently"

"this leaves no space to see the content of the page"

"got to say the sharpness of the text is terrible text is blurry"

"5 stars for the rather tightly asked questions above"

"hardly used is 2 weeks and stop working doesn’t charge"

"this is my third fire tablet the last one was a 5th generation with an sd card"

"it is cheap in fairness but i definitely regret my purchase"

"also the battery life seems very poor"

"waste of time and money"

"navigation is a bit laggy and games would need to be limited to the most basic"

"once you're in the amazon fire you have to buy amazon and forget trying to talk to alexa unless you have a london or midwestern american accent the only good thing is you can insult alexa in a scottish accent and she'll thank you for the compliment in the end i just got my android tablet fixed"

"linking to the wi fi could have been explained more clearly"

"got the new one a day after promised delivery date and proceeded to install my apps i like ebay but the new kindle doesn't support the app is this rivalry between amazon & ebay apparently amazon haven't updated the ebay app since 2018 time they got this sorted as amazon customer service were no help whatsoever with this problem"

"so all the advertising and junk you don't need is right there and you can't remove it"

"the pad is not a patch on apple i wish i hadn't been tempted by the prime low price"

"i may have been unlucky and had a duff one who knows but it’s a bit late to send it back now"

"i am a bit disappointed in the fire 7 i bought this to replace another tablet that i have i thought that i would be able to singapore that i already had but this isn't the case i'm also have half of problems with the docs as it keeps sending me messages in what looks like chinese sort it out amazon or"

"if you want something more functional than an e shopping device and a slow internet browse look past this marketing ploy and get something else"

"for me at £35 even at £50 it's disposable to an extent"

"contacted amazon who gave advice which was totally useless for the fire 7 i bought"

"i purchased this for my 6 year old daughter wish i had known before purchasing but fire tablets are complete rubbish: * no play store without a simple but annoying hack "

"regret purchase"

"also having 1 year kids fire subscription for free is a bonus"

"the major reason i wrote this review is due to the adverts scam"

"no such luck"

"facebook doesn't view correctly neither does bbc news or any for that matter"

"definitely worth buying especially if you want to go away and not take a super expensive tablet or equipment with you for poolside reading or the like"

"not the fastest responding tablet compared to an ipad or iphone but at that price i’m not complaining"

"my mum is nearly 85 years old and not technologically savvy"

"also if it breaks even by accident"

"i don’t find it easy to use it doesn’t swipe as quickly or easily as the ipad and in my opinion is generally a very poor tablet"

"my existing tablet an ipad 3 apple have now deemed obsolete and no longer support"

"hardly used is 2 weeks and stop working doesn’t charge"

"not many good apps on the store forced ads on lock screen unless you pay to get rid of them no decent youtube app as it is just a glorified web browser version that doesn't even keep the screen awake during videos"

"this junk cannot be uninstalled or even hidden so someone like my mum would have a huge issue with it"

"two little quibbles are"

"this new model is buggy i quite often can't download content there is severe limitation on compatible apps more so than the old version "

"overall due to these issues i am not very happy with this tablet and wouldn't recommend"

"when i watch video however it seems to stutter whilst playing back the video on internal memory like it hasn’t got the processing power to cope with it"

"yes the graphics and battery life is way inferior to and ipad but let’s be realistic here it cost £50 as opposed to £400 for an ipad you get what you pay for and as far as value for money goes you can’t knock it"

"awful set up experience forced ads from turn on tries to trick you into signing for subscriptions"

"this worked for several minutes and then it stopped"

"its loaded with adverts and pre installed apps that clog up its already very low memory"

"yes the screen is a little sluggish and it’s very easy to hit the wrong character on the keyboard but these things are minor"

"however it begins to lose points for the following reasons: battery life could and should be better thankfully there are lots of sites on the web that help you go under the bonnet and show you what to shut down to minimise power drain"

"new kindle fire was purchased because the old one was plagued by the low storage messages it was only 8gb but had a 64gb sd card in it"

"i have parent control on all of these so i have not to got worry about them buying games or entering sites which are age restrictioned"

"'free' stuff is usually limited and not much use for example anti virus programmes "

"finally the battery is simply unacceptable with light use it goes from full charge at the start of the day to dead by the afternoon"

"if i were to make any negative comments it would be the adverts special offers which keep coming up and are annoying but i think reduce the price by £10 or so and the fact that you have to pay almost the same price again to get a decent cover case"

"the version comes with a constant load of ads for products on amazon sleep screen and in other places too"

"the battery life is poor about 2 hours not helped by having to have audio permanently on loud due to lack of any bluetooth connection "

"however it begins to lose points for the following reasons: battery life could and should be better thankfully there are lots of sites on the web that help you go under the bonnet and show you what to shut down to minimise power drain"

"the tablet is a bit tiring on the hands after a bit"

"the screen resolution etc is great but the lack of memory is already a problem and i feel pressured to use one of amazon's sd cards which are over priced !"

"have tried in settings to sharpen up the text to no avail"

"i'm finding it more complicated than my previous fire 7hdx"

"this makes no sense and is infuriating"

"then i tried prime video: it won't work either on my very up to date mac nor on fire 7: "unsupported plug in" wtf?"

"we've had no problems with it occasionally it can be a little slow to react but nothing major i'm pleased with it"

"was hoping that this newer version would be like an upgrade but it felt more like a downgrade"

"i'm finding it more complicated than my previous fire 7hdx"

"i find it useless"

"the fire 7 does have "alexa" although i can only seem to get it to work if i hold the home key and every time i have asked alexa a question one of my echo dots has replied with the answer so this maybe because it redirects to the nearest plugged in speaker i don't really know"

"just a pity battery life in all such devices is still so limited"

"the screen gets so messy minutes after the packaging is removed and is very difficult to clean"

"if you want something more functional than an e shopping device and a slow internet browse look past this marketing ploy and get something else"

"no longer are we getting hounded to download iphone apps and either pay for them or tell the kids why they can't have them"

"i have held on to three broken devices should amazon eventually offer a repair or return service"

"i would be lost without it!"

"i upgraded an old kindle fire because of a cracked screen"

"completely dead"

"my existing 7" kindle was beginning to run slow and the case was damaged but more importantly no longer held acceptable battery life"

"i use it all the time not just at night and i have noticed i have headaches less frequently"

"the only thing that's missing is google play but as it had amazon own os and amazon store it's which has almost every app it's not very needed "

"the new one is slower in operation the battery life is significantly shorter and the keyboard is terrible to use!"

"pass the headache tablets footnote: after some days i was told that it needs bt hub smart set up disabling which bt will do for you"

"what's worse is i haven't got kids!"

"it's quite limited the application options you have to register a credit debit card in order to i stall applications you can easily buy spend money on some useless or unwanted app if you're not paying attention the battery is getting drained quite easily even with wifi there are screensaver adverts which if you want to deactivate you have to pay £10"

"just a pity battery life in all such devices is still so limited"

"also when i put it on charge and switch off it keeps switching itself back on again so i have to turn it face down to stop being distracted"

"i am surprised that as this tablet is the new release that this issue has not been addressed"

"it fails to focus on anything so the photographs are blurry and basically unuseable"

"its even about as good an alarm clock as you can find"

"that was a right palavour i can tell you downloading various files to modify the software"

"i consider myself to be pretty tech savvy especially with android and amazon devices but this tablet is far from user friendly and really does not hit the mark"

"i was really disappointed to find that it was not working"

"while the tablet is good there are issues"

"for using it as a media consuming gaming tablet it's a bit underpowered"

"youtube gmail netlfic bbc iplayer roblox educational games ebooks all sorts endless fun!"

"next alexa keeps popping up randomly and the only way to get rid of it is to reboot the device"

"when i logged in to my account to disable this i was charged £10"

"after mucking around with the settings and downloading some software and throwing it across the sofa and waiting for ages for it to make a wifi connection and getting used to dabbing the single pixel on the screen that has part of the button that i want to press and hunching over it with my glasses on like an old technophobic person i can honestly say that it's much easier to just take a laptop"

"hopefully this new one will not have this problem"

"i bought rubber cases for the fires to protect them from clumsy kids & have had no issues with cracked screens or anything like that"

"i bought this as a cheap tablet with a headrest holder so my daughter could watch films on long journeys"

"another annoyance is that i am unable to print documents etc"

"i bought this thinking it would be a bargain to replace my dying ipad and defunct e reader"

"pretty annoying but big apps so maybe this is why"

"first one just stopped working but was within guarantee so they replaced it"

"turning up the brightness helps but it's not ideal"

"very disappointed"

"another issue is: there is a constant static audio sound that buzzes from the device and it is really annoying"

"however either the operating system or process is just too slow for me to really recommend this"

"don't waste your money on more expensive tablets"

"apart from that it is pretty slow"

"we also added google play a very simple process under 5 minutes available on websites via the silk browser which has opened a whole new world of apps including youtube app compared to the amazon app store which is very limited"

"another issue is: there is a constant static audio sound that buzzes from the device and it is really annoying"

"my old fire tablet was still in frequent use and the only problem i had was the battery draining fairly swiftly and increasing slowness"

"if you want a cheap device to access your amazon content i think they are very good at doing that"

"this is a major problem for me and i was outraged to discover that a newer version of this tablet is inferior to the older one for what i want to do "

"tried to sort it out myself but i see others have the same problem it's not major merely an irritant and strangely doesn't happen on my fire 7!"

"amazon's option was too painful to get e en a very basic result"

"my biggest issue with this product is the customer services i received in relation to setting it up"

"i am pleasantly surprised that it is actually quite a good little gadget it out performs my lenovo tablet in every way it connects to wifi and pairs with blue tooth devices without any problems it runs and plays amazon prime videos and netflix faultlessly"

"i am bitterly disappointed"

"really annoyed with this"

"i only realise they're there when i'm having trouble unlocking the tablet because the screen blanks which from a google seems to be a common annoyance"

"i will be sending it back and asking for a new one"

"as i have just returned the 2nd failed fire i have decided to recharge my original kindle paperwhite for now in the hope that amazon will look at the quality issues of their kindle fires"

"amazon have only given access to a very limited number of apps of their choosing through their own app download store"

"it eventually gave up the ghost and had to be replaced at my expense as out of warranty time"

"now i've got it i have to say i'm very disappointed with it"

"but the app requires location services to be turned on and the fire prevents location services in child profiles"

"so why is it let down by poor battery life you can watch the % power falling as you use the tablet and the fact you must use amazon's silk browser?"

"but amazon's youtube app doesn't it doesn't even work with my fire stick"

"slow sluggish and not fit for purpose"

"99 for this tablet so really for that price i can't see how anyone can give less than 5 stars or a negative review!"

"the screen is another thing to note if you don't expect the retina uhd types then you're fine you don't actually need a mega hi res display on a small device to see everything perfectly well so really don't worry about it"

"i'm not sure what the technical reason is for the awful slowness of this device but can only presume it's to do with amazon's overlay of it's operating system onto android"

"i previously had an ipad mini but poor integration with pc and android phone meant doing anything took ages and to be honest it's slow and highly over rated"

"despite having received pronunciation she does often struggle to understand what i want but perhaps that is my poor phrasing and she really does need to find out the difference between gilbert and sullivan and gilbert o'sullivan!"

"perhaps the worst aspect is that when you now turn on the tablet it blast out a sound much to not only your annoyance but everybody in the room with you and this sound is not controlled by the general volume controls nor can it turned off via settings"

"even more disappointed than i was if that’s their only advice i’d rather they’d kept quiet"

"the battery life on these tablets is extremely poor and it appears to use up battery life even when supposedly switched off"

"really disappointed because my previous one didnt give me this much trouble and i only replaced it because it was stolen"

"the adds are not too intrusive but i would get it without personally"

"you can't change the default launcher without a separate app from the internet called "launcherhijack" and the amazon launcher is really awful"

"2 it takes forever to charge 3 it is quite slow loading internet pages pros 1 battery life is really good 2 the sound is clear 3 managed to install the apps i needed including sky go"

"hands down the most awful piece of technology i've ever owned and i once owned an atari jaguar"

"very sad and very confusing"

"2 it takes forever to charge 3 it is quite slow loading internet pages pros 1 battery life is really good 2 the sound is clear 3 managed to install the apps i needed including sky go"

"it is just a terrible overlay"

"cameras terrible"

"this is the worst product i have ever purchased"

"this tablet is total and utter junk and i urge nobody to waste money and by this total crap"

"bar the first which fell prey to my cat all the others have suffered some kind of electrical electronic failure leaving me with a dead lump of uselessness"

"all might not be lost you can download files from the internet to install play store but if something goes wrong when installing these files i don't know how you would resolve the issues if the tablet fails to work afterwards"

"i would recommend no one wastes their money on buying one !"

"when i first saw it the wallpaper didn't do it justice at all as the set picture was dull and grainy but as soon as i updated to a full hd wallpaper and started watching films and playing games i saw the real quality"

"we can not recommend the latter too highly having struggled in the past with those problematic soft plastic ones"

"the final point is that for the first time i experienced terrible customer service from amazon when i phoned the help line"

"it's just a mess and really more complicated than it needs to be and i honestly can't recommend it right now maybe after some software firmware upgrades i can give a better review"

"it is not blisteringly quick but neither is it frustratingly slow"

"i paid more money so i didn't have to have one of their "special offer" one = spy on you and bombard you with crappy targeted ads can't imagine how bad that one would have been"

"so would i buy or recommend this tablet well yes but in specific circumstances i would not buy this as my main tablet as it is simply too slow for some applications but for general use maybe as a first tablet or for children then yes"

"this has been a disaster"

"a real disappointment amazon i wish you had let me keep my old one"

"as supplied it is full of ad crap and bloat but it can be de amazonized quite easily using the instructions and toolbox from liliputing"

"as a result show mode is a waste of space especially as when you go to the alexa app the device is always shown as being offline"

"really slow"

"sometimes its responsiveness is simply appalling and i never experienced this lack of performance this consistently with the old device"

"amazon support contacted with a standard 'copy and paste' answer which addressed none of the factors i've mentioned except battery life and even then pasted the same sentence twice but with different expected times"

"the main issue with this tablet i have bought 2 for my children is that is constantly freezing and becoming unresponsive"

"there is a delete button but the docs continue to show on the kindle fire and try as i might and i have read all the hints and tips it is impossible to get rid of them"

"i keep getting error messages about infringing drm rights which is nonsense"

"facebook is painful sound is poor and it stutters about its business unpredictability"

"a second and worse issue is that when trying to access amazon my previously registered e mail address was not even recognised the system then set up an unusable e mail address for me and apparently the only way i can remove it is by de registering the device or doing a factory reset who is supposed to be in charge here the customer or the provider?"

"my old fire tablet was still in frequent use and the only problem i had was the battery draining fairly swiftly and increasing slowness"

"i searched the internet for a solution and found hundreds of others with exactly the same issue"

"to cut a long story short i rejected the refurbished 'replacement' and have ordered another new kindle at greater cost than my original so i am bearing the loss for a defective item rather than amazon"

"you could also very easily delete items too"

"the screen freezes and glitches and randomly crashes apps"

"my only gripe is that it’s not usb type c"

"yes it's an amazon badged tablet that i have linked to my amazon account but all the same it feels intrusive"

"the longstanding issues navigating the device and locating files remain unaddressed basically rubbish"

"amazon prime app is infuriatingly buggy"

"the first thing i did was to disable alexa as i find these 'ai' characters very annoying & really don't need it!"

"very very very slow and yes amazon i have rebooted etc but it appears that amazon are either using naff processors or their qc on their processors are not very good"

"there is no gps so maps are virtually useless"

"being able to tel alexa to play a film or put on lullabies is a help during fussy nights and 3am feeds!"

"not a major issue but it is beyond bizarre that on a fire tablet i have the hd10 and the hd8 you cannot view your personal docs in the kindle app on the device even though you can view them in the kindle app on an android tablet or phone and can also do that on an ios device and of course on a kindle device "

"amazon special offers were annoying but thankfully amazon removed it without any charges and i don't get annoying screensavers anymore"

"ours was return as we were dissatisfied and it did not meet our need as all we wanted was something to read news browse google and play games like candy crush"

"even worse the app is not available for kindle"

"i suppose its big selling thing is alexa"

"i knew it wouldn't be the same but after 2 3 weeks still unhappy"

"if my paperwhite falls off its perch i would buy one of these for myself :"

"its ok the reds are not red very washed out"

"many a times i have found that going to the previous screen is very slow non responsive especially while playing a video"

"as i say it may sound trivial but it quickly becomes annoying if you want to watch something late at night and not wake disturbs others who are sleeping"

"very unhappy that my older child can not access the internet & amazon music in her 13+ profile and to allow it she uses my profile but you can not block access to the “shop” in main profiles without alexa & various other apps being disabled as well"

"the kindle fire seems to just be a money trap trying to get you to buy more kindle books audible apps fire for kids music etc i already have prime & music but it seems these don’t go far towards what you may need"

"this was bought to replace a six year old fire hd 10 inch which decided that suddenly presumably from automatic updates to either the os or the apps that it didnt want to work any more and refused to be flattened back to a factory default setting thereby rendering itself about as much use as a door wedge"

"i bought the 32mb model in a black friday deal but even at full price particularly in the case of the 16mb model it still comes in cheaper than most budget tablets produced by firms you have heard of and it is worth noting many other tablets in the low hundred pound and less bracket often have slower processers only 8mb ram and a noticeable flex in the screen and body"

"bought as a replacement tablet for an elderly relative as their tesco tablet had become unuseable"

"i mean honestly noeadays you cant get one day with phones and even the switch battery died faster than this fire tablets i had the fire playing music for hours and i lost 14% so far update 1: after buying some audiobooks im seeing the same consistent issue"

"bought to replace my 7" which had developed screen faults*"

"bought a fire 8in last december and we are now in august and it is dead as a doe doe well all it is trying to do is reboot itself "

"this may sound trivial but it is something that does become annoying pretty quick and that is the start up tone"

"slightly larger than the nexus it is still good for ebooks and for silencing the demon child it was a perfect tool"

"ads appear on the lock screen which you swipe away if you want to use the tablet"

"i am a kindle fan with 4 throughout the family but with the release of the new 8th generation i have had problem after problem using a micro sd card with it"

"the docking station is almost useless and apallingly bad value for money"

"i have had to source a 2nd device for the youngest 3 to avoid armageddon so they have profiles on each device"

"it's slower online less punchy when loading up websites"

"however the main issue we've had is that we purchased it to use with the lego boost app so that our son could build and code"

"another reason being the limited power of the processor in the hd 8"

"one annoying gripe is the sound was far better on my previous ones"

"this is heavy unreliable and slow"

"open more than 2 tabs in the browser and it will crawl to a halt app switching is slow and frequently even unlocking the tablet is slow laggy"

"amazon's support is superb and while buying a cheap product might be daunting the support makes buying any amazon product an easy task"

"at some point i may pay £10 to have the annoying adverts special offers turned off and an sd card for up to 400 gb storage "

"two of them failed completely after about 18 months of use"

"basically one unhappy daughter thinks she got a crummy gift"

"it could be that i was unlucky and had a faulty product"

"possibly the worst purchase of my entire life"

"i used it abroad and when i returned home the time would just not adjust it needed to be restarted"

"she struggles to use the interface which is overly complicated"

"would it replace my phone as the go to device hell no"

"not only that but for some of the apps i use most amazon apps store does not have an equivalent i could buy instead except at a much inflated price"

"the ancestry app crashes but that is probably more to do with the app"

"but there are some serious bugs"

"but that is a minor issue really"

"do not buy this tablet it is not the same as normal tablets there are popup ads all over the place videos offensive content and it is impossible to remove without paying amazon"

"all might not be lost you can download files from the internet to install play store but if something goes wrong when installing these files i don't know how you would resolve the issues if the tablet fails to work afterwards"

"then it gets stroppy regarding the memory card i’ve installed often complaining about incorrect formatting"

"if you like screaming in fury at a blank screen as it resolutely ignores you only for it to spasm into life ten seconds later by which time the string of expletives have polluted the childrens' ears scared the cat and confused this lump of inert glass almost completely"

"when viewing youtube videos the skintones are noticeably pinky orange and a bit grainy"

"perhaps the worst aspect is that when you now turn on the tablet it blast out a sound much to not only your annoyance but everybody in the room with you and this sound is not controlled by the general volume controls nor can it turned off via settings"

"the apps that i can download are limited in range and choice most unsatisfactory"

"bad screens and worse responces"

"other times it flies along relatively but the inconsistent performance makes it difficult to love"

"but as i say this is a small niggle the pros of my new tablet far outweigh the cons"

"and then i found out that the device automatically updates itself without asking for your permission"

"games and apps: google play store is accessible but not without a minor fiddle around google how to do this so if a wide range of apps is something you want in a tablet this will do the job if you're up for following simple instructions"

"don't really like the "show mode" would love to be able customise the display to show the information i want rather than just the time weather along with scrolling suggestions on what to ask alexa there is also the headline news banner scrolling which i would prefer to have my own options of what news to display at the very least"

"i took it on holiday and didn't find it too cumbersome"

"30 mins on the phone with only maybe 5 minutes of actual talk time they say still having problems and will call me back later"

"tried to setup children account for both that showed not simple"

"fortunately i just brought this fire as a cheap controller for my sonos speaker system and music library"

"now maybe it's me that doesn't understand how the black friday sales work but i could have saved a further £40 £50 on this item if i had purchased it a week later and that annoyed me"

"this tablet is total and utter junk and i urge nobody to waste money and by this total crap"

"i couldn't get it on my old busted ipad either so i've not lost anything"

"no interest at all in activating alexa but others may find that useful"

"otherwise useless"

"there are a few rough edges but not deal breakers and maybe i should be reporting them through another channel"

"lastly on a more positive note had it not been for amazon's fantastic support i would have spent hours trying to resolve this issue myself"

"i can understand why amazon have done this in the interests of preventing piracy"

"i tend to use bluetooth headphones no danger of walking off and having your device crash to the floor or accidentally yanking the headphone wire even though this review appears to be negative i'd have to say that for the price of the actual device it's better than just ok if you're on a tight budget i'd recommend waiting for the special deals when the price drops"

"i couldn't have been more wrong"

"and you just can't seem to get to speak to an actual human"

"once completed the screen reverts to the wrong data"

"the screen display shows the wrong temperature by a long way and the wrong weather graphic"

"i have much older kindle fire models which are still going strong so wonder if i got faulty models or if this is a design flaw"

"i only replaced it because amazon stopped supporting it because it was so old"

"it's a disappointing tablet that tries to make you but more from its supplier"

"4 days later and it gets worse!"

"so it should be better it is arguably more resilient than the model it replaced but it isnt anywhere near as intuitive and its constant sleep advertising schtick is getting right on my pip"

"sadly games apps info are not stored as i do not do facebook so lost my level 500+ on a couple of games but new updated versions are good and presenting a challenge as before"

"due to a misunderstanding on my part this new replacement kindle was smaller than that it replaced"

"the amazon app store is more limited than google playstore but it has more than enough apps for my needs and i would think most peoples needs"

"i bought this to replace a broken hudl that i had used for a number of years"

"firstly it wouldn’t power on so i plugged it into the charger with the provided very short usb cable and it came on showing 0% battery while it charged up i activated it and then waited for it to fully charge which was surprisingly fast"

"what also i didn't understand was that when you buy the fire it has "with special offers" in its description"

"sadly transferring files from my pc to the fire 8 is not just drag and drop exercise"

"i bought this hoping it would be a lot better than the fire hd7 the difference between the two devices in terms of performance is to my mind minimal although the screen is noticeably larger"

"in show mode whilst on its stand it is no better than one of those digital photo frames popular ten years ago but even then it dims the photos not configurable so it can present some inane headlines about who has been kicked out of the jungle won a dance on strictly"

"after dropping my 7" one for the umpteenth time the screen cracked again"

"so if i were to give you an advice think again if you wish i go for a 32gb storage as the price is much higher go for a memory card for extra storage"

"i actually thought this would be a gooden but it’s proved me wrong !"

"nothing how ever compared me for this in terms of being slow!"

"the only problem i could find is there is no google play sore available and some of the apps she used were not listed in the amazon fire store so 1 star deducted"

"i've now adapted mine so that it is much more versatile and it has more or less replaced my ipad it's just a shame they hobble it for most users"

"this seems like a tablet out of the dark ages the lag is so noticeable its hardly useable"

"however a real drawback is just how sluggish certain apps are to open"

"i can only assume to ensure improved marketing opportunities offered by hard wiring other apps to the home page"

"6 inch screen found it was very slow and no where near as resoonsive than my kindle"

"so the moral of the story is that should you be unlucky enough to receive a defective new kindle don't opt for a replacement: because it appears that you will receive a refurbished kindle instead of a new as a 'replacement'"

"i was livid as it's clearly foul play by amazon"

"sluggish performance and app reliability poor unresponsive and requires full power off and restart to resolve downgraded to 1 star"

"the battery is it's biggest let down"

"don't waste your money on more expensive tablets"

"then they say they can’t authorize a replacement because there’s an error with my card details and ask for another card which i don’t have since i have no need for any more since my visa debit card is all that i’ve ever needed"

"i don't want to be rude to amazon but i have to"

"i understand it may be possible to get round some of these issues by "side loading" the google play store but this is far from straightforward"

"we fixed that by buying a tough imitation leather folder which happily came with a free tempered glass screen protector"

"it has a slow reaction time you need to have some patience with this and it takes an absolute age to charge"

"in many respects for what i use it for tv watching catchup apps plus youtube it should be a slam dunk in that this should fully meet the bill but it has some really bloody annoying habits which mean i dont end up using it as much as i could"

"so something i was given forever i've lost because er amazon withdrew underground"

"it seems to play prime video without too many issues and wi fi is strong and reliable"

"even indoors if what you're watching is a bit dark like peaky blinders the picture loses a lot of detail"

"5 gb when i ordered a 16 which i'm annoyed about this is where the star is lost"

"i have a 6 year old fire 7hdx which actually had nothing wrong with it apart from it was no longer supporting certain features"

"i would think someone with good knowledge of computers this might be easy but not necessarily for everyone"

"yet another one thrown away!"

"all i can say is that some people are very picky and are never satisfied with anything they buy"

"i had been so nervous updating as i was worried i would lose so much on my original kindle"

"even me who is technically pretty illiterate"

"the deal breaker for me was the unreliable bluetooth"

"ha if it lets you do that even ridiculously slow and laggy ui is clunky to the point it's laughable it's like going back in time to netbook standards"

"what is there is fine but there's lots of basic stuff missing which if you want to do a bit of business stuff as well is a major deficiency"

"in the first week i was encouraged to watch an amazon prime film through my kindle something i have never bothered with preferring to view on large screen smart tv"

"you don't loose your library"

"i would definitely not recommend it!"

"wifi was great in hotel but found bluetooth connection a bit hit and miss for fitbit has to use my phone for that and also hotmail did not have same functionality but for price was delighted with it and half missed my ipad"

"the special effects thing doesn’t bother me at all i mostly ignore it and there’s an option to remove it for £10 extra"

"worse still there is no simple way to communicate this problem to the developers"

"that said there's adverts everywhere you look such as when you're logging in which i hate and it just feels cumbersome overall"

"perhaps the worst aspect is that when you now turn on the tablet it blast out a sound much to not only your annoyance but everybody in the room with you and this sound is not controlled by the general volume controls nor can it turned off via settings"

"slightly better than the 7 i had i disagree with the other comments suggesting it is worse than the 7"

"i choose the red because it's easier to find no more shouts of 'has anyone seen my kindle' when it first arrived i couldn't turn on weird because buttons are in the same place"

"i have spent most of a day on the phone or on online chat to amazon helpline operatives who have been totally useless"

"i put a simple game on it and had to give up playing as it was so slow to respond "

"from the scrolling and coming on its just so sluggish"

"even though i got a replacement from a faulty device the new one still doesn't charge very quickly and the battery drains much faster than my previous fire"

"what i do notice is that there are a ton of amazon related apps and advertisements on the hd 8 that i did not have to contend with on the hd 7 so i am not too happy with that nonsense"

"the sound is not good could be a little louder sound quality is not very good"

"i suppose it's £79 for a reason i'd return it if i could"

"i do find that it's not always great for reading outdoors as the paperwhite unless in the shade"

"i retained ownership as i do not want to see the lovely screen damaged in his temper and bizarrely the day i bought this my nexus stopped charging and is in the tech hospital for diagnosis"

"the built in speakers are nothing special but that's not a big deal as i normally use ear buds"

"picked up this tablet last minute before we went on holiday as our previous one smashed"

"got this to replace my lenovo tab 3 this is slllooowwww also no grand theft auto even though on my original fire all bought now nowhere😒operating system browser stinks"

"my car has a built in sat nav but i find the screen too small"

"my main grievance with this device is that i cannot access the large volume of music i've already purchased from amazon"

"comes full of annoying amazon "pop up ads" only good as a cheap small movie player"

"this is my 2nd kindle fire along with my paper wight which i use for just reading"

"as a basic device at a cheap price it's ok particularly if you use it for watching previously downloaded content"

"i've returned it as a result"

"so in my case my banking apps high street stores utilities apps act i am unable to download"

"just a scam"

"impression of amazon takes a nose dive frustration increases proportionally"

"disappointing and i am not sure i would reccomend this product to anyone"

"i feel i have been totally mislead"

"if i hadn't thrown away the box i would have sent it back"

"constantly pinging me notifications about delivered parcels even though i remove the notification"

"the icons once large dominant and offering clarity are now small and insignificant"

"so many fantastic authors out there that because of where they were in the bookstores is why i missed so many"

"but don't load multiple users and or alexa or it will be overworked now it is worth the money!"

"but as i say this is a small niggle the pros of my new tablet far outweigh the cons"

"do not buy st time i used it my amazon account got hacked screen whent white around had a worning from microsoft saying device made my account unsecure factory reset device decided to try again then it happened smoke burning smell and flames yes flames everywhere do not buy as i threw it in kitchen sink"

"this is a basic tablet that does exactly what i wanted it to do watch films series when i am out and about but it doesn't do it particularly well but for the price i can't really complain too much"

"i hadn't anticipated being bombarded with so much advertising for "special offers" mostly cheap starter options for subscription services with higher fees if not cancelled within 3 months etc"

"this tablet is painfully slow to the extent that it is almost unusable"

"check your apps on the app store to see if they are still there before wiping your old device and backup to your pc don't rely on the fire backup restore"

"to begin with the reflective screen meant i couldn't read outside on the balcony but the easily applied tech armor anti glare screen dealt with that"

"as usual the setup proceeded well except it froze part way and had to be reset"

"* with the introduction of the 8th gen android decide to add protection to their software and after following the recommended procedures of installing the micro card the card cannot be removed from the device without wiping the card and rendering it useless * at the time amazon customer service unaware of this situation and completely at sea with a solution * great help from the card manufacturer a new card sent f"

"i wanted something which was less desirable for thieves and which i wouldn't worry too much about carting around on holiday"

"i only read books on it so it is giving me way more trouble than it should"

"amazon say this is because the developer has removed the apps from the appstore and there's nothing they can do about it but it means they no longer exist in the cloud"

"the only way to avoid the bloatware is to reinstall android on it and google play services but by the time you have done that you may as well buy another tablet which is half decent"

"the wifi seems slower than any of the other devices i have including an old crusty ipad2"

"the screen display shows the wrong temperature by a long way and the wrong weather graphic"

"purchased as an alternative to an ipad mini which i already have i always knew this little tablet would be a little underpowered when directly compared but for the price it's perfect for requirements as a media playing tablet for around the house or traveling"

"i had this bought for xmas last year and now i seem to be having problems with it whilst i am using it it stops and says reconnecting or it will freeze i need to know what this problem is and will it still be under gaurentee as its very frustrating being in the middle of something and it has to reconnect as my internet connection is very good also computer not needing to reconnect at the same time or i would have blamed my internet "

"i had a choice of either a kindle upgrade downgrade more like or an ipad mini"

"my first delivered fire hd 8 was faulty it wouldn't set up properly and corrupted my sd card"

"this is the 10th i think fire device i have had"

"as all my kindle books are automatically transferred when you set up i now use this instead of my kindle which is starting to be a bit erratic"

"maybe now ram prices are not ridiculous this might be rectified in newer models"

"i've done that and to be honest it's not really made much difference browsing speed is unacceptably slow"

"in spite of the limitations the fire hd 8 is outstanding for people who want apps that really matter moreover because of its price it’s not a disaster if you lose or break it"

"😩 this one is so unbelievably slow and unresponsive i really really hate it"

"now i know a lot of people are going to say that not much but try it when you are trying to open an email or use any of the other apps after a while it will just get on your nerves"

"however after 10 minutes or so it stops working and puts you into an infinite loop of logging in only to be thrown back to the login screen and asked to login again and again and again"

"most annoying is that you can't root it and put on a custom rom i"

"as i have just returned the 2nd failed fire i have decided to recharge my original kindle paperwhite for now in the hope that amazon will look at the quality issues of their kindle fires"

"it can be glitchy having asked me to register and set up the device 3 times after intial set up for no reason the odd screen freeze and failing to load apps or retain info all happen"

"yes while it sucks in so many ways i use this device as a general around the house device using the internet browser for gerneral searches along with using the e reader video streaming and shopping apps"

"on this tablet within 24 hours there were bugs with using it turns out a unstoppable 'fire os' software update had broken something weird typing errors were happening such as instead of typing 'hello how are you' the tablet would add random characters so this would appear as 'hhelllo ho$ are yoou' also scaling issues viewing web pages ironically only happened on amazons website in 'desktop' view hold your finger down and it zooms in erratically until it canna take no more captain"

"so far i mostly use alexa for answering simple questions and ringing up my kids to annoy them :"

"the only problem i could find is there is no google play sore available and some of the apps she used were not listed in the amazon fire store so 1 star deducted"

"oh i miss my hdx7 if served me well for 5 years"

"it is perhaps best to start with what the fire hd 8 isn't it isn't an apple ipad nor is it a microsoft surface or a samsung galaxy"

"i should say at this point i have taken the option of adding a large sd card thank you amazon a very appreciated facility and one of the top choice filing system browsers in case this affects anything"

"the silk web browser is terrible though v slow"

"i don't understand the mixed reviews this tablet has received unless the buyers are looking to play high end games on it"

":' he hasn't complained about the tablet or mentioned any short comings so he is a happy bunny!"

"the buttons are quite cumbersome and have to be pressed quite hard to work"

"simply blow away buy the value that this tablet offers"
