"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"

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

"there is no gps so maps are virtually useless"

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

"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"

"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"

"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 "

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

"this is a major problem for me and i was outraged to discover that a newer version of this tablet is inferior to the older one for what i want to do "

"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"

"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!"

"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"

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

"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"

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

"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'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"

"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"

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

"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"

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

"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"

"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"

"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"

"apart from that it is pretty slow"

"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"

"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"

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

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

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

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

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

"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"

"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"

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

"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"

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

"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 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 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"

"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 am bitterly disappointed"

"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"

"really annoyed with this"

"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!"

"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"

"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"

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

"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 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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

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

"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"

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

"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"

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

"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"

"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"

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

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

"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?"

"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"

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

"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"

"slow sluggish and not fit for purpose"

"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"

"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!"

"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 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"

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

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

"but i am very disappointed that it will not allow me to load an ebay app"

"so really it has very limited value as a freebee"

"but the biggest problem is that i can't connect it to my windows 10 computer to access and download files rendering it virtually useless for what i need considering sending it back"

"i understand some folk might need from their tablet to do more and that’s why they opt for the more expensive options but most will only use it as i do "

"totally useless"

"also the battery life is not very good"

"if you buy this tablet all you are doing is buying amazon's annoying adverts that is just everywhere"

"had the same issue with the 7" tablet"

"amazon is too controlling with this tablet a major problem with the digital world these days i feel like i am in prison"

"i checked online and loads of people had the same problem!"

"the only problem i had was when it came to downloading apps it didn't have the exact same ones as i used on previous tablets e"

"main issue for me is the screen durability"

"as for the other issue regarding goggle apps actually you can slot this on you just have to be a bit savvy"

"i purchased this kindle before christmas as a gift but amazon will not honour the discount pricing on a new device as they insist on replacing my faulty device with a refurbished one despite the item being within the original returns period"

"for the price you can’t complain too much"

"the old kindle maybe 4 years old was quite slow on the internet but this one is good enough for browsing and shopping that i have no plans to replace my failing chromebook"

"there also seems to be some stuff on there that'd be great for children it's just a shame that amazon think we want all these things pre loaded i'd be happy with the simplest of desktops home screens maybe it can be done trouble is whilst i'm using the tablet all this stuff is out of my head!"

"i did manage the first two after some time i am not that much of a computer geek but spent hours literally trying to remove the ads to no avail"

"well love the kindle fire but nearly sent it back as thought it was faulty screen kept locking so searched online and it turns out this is a known fault with magnetised cases and is extremely frustrating when watching something you move and the tablet screen locks for no reason this needs fixed amazon"

"photos are poor quality"

"a horrible waste of valuable time"

"very dissapointed"

"i guess bezos needs more money to buy cup holders for his rocket to mars"

"it was utterly soul destroying and took forever to do!"

"00 now even further reduced leaves a bad taste to be honest"

"absolute garbage"

"and it's very very twitchy"

"beware this is not a tablet!"

"the notificationa on email facebook and messenger apps are very delayed or it doesn't notify you at all"

"this tablet is very heavy indeed"

"there is no ebay application which is incredibly annoying"

"i'd therefore prefer just a selfie skype camera instead of two cameras or even skip them altogether in favour of more ram maybe?"

"it was very frustrating"

"i found the tablet to be quite heavy and chunky with average screen resolution"

"amazon has replaced my hd10 but sent a used refurbished product without informing me beforehand apparently they only issue refurbished items as a replacement "

"wish i had waited a couple of days and saved myself £40 00 it is a good item and glad i got it but sad that i do feel cheated having missed the better offer by a couple of day been told by amazon that it cannot be used with a monitor which is the main reason i bought the thing am going to thr extra expence"

"one slight naff aspect though is it doesn't have a gps sensor which in this day and age seems ridiculous"

"the reason it loses two stars for me is that it is configured to drive you ever back to amazon to buy more stuff"

"amazon has replaced my hd10 but sent a used refurbished product without informing me beforehand apparently they only issue refurbished items as a replacement "

"the major gripe i had was when i tried to transfer my music it said card was offline!"

"it's an ugly beast with thick bezels"

"entirely useless"

"the adds are pretty annoying too i paid £10"

"i understood before the purchase i was going to get a skinned version of android and not anything close to vanilla"

"it is more sluggish and generally it doesn't seem as good as the earlier models"

"i await the solution because it is rather irritating"

"i think this poses a huge security risk how do i know that any of these 'minor independent' app developers can be trusted on my network?"

"some of the apps i've downloaded just randomly "exit" while in the middle of a game 8 ball pool it's done this about 10 times already i've only had the tablet for 4 days"

"a 5 star product spoilt by 2 silly niggles hence my 4 star rating"

"the camera is worse than pants but i didn't buy it for that i bought it to take on holiday where i will be mainly using amazon prime and the reading and audible apps"

"the old kindle maybe 4 years old was quite slow on the internet but this one is good enough for browsing and shopping that i have no plans to replace my failing chromebook"

"the one thing that stops it getting full marks is the lack of google play store which means i can't download all the apps i want the amazon app store is still pretty restricted compared to google play and apple app stores "

"very difficult the settings such as microphone for alexa"

"i received my fire hd 10 kindle as a christmas gift having dropped my ipad i damaged it quite badly & i didn’t want to pay the large sum of money to replace or fix so i asked santa for a kindle & he delivered 😬😬 i mostly use my kindle for streaming watching netflix reading books and web browsing shopping!"

"always had kindle fires this one is slightly better than my old 10inch faster at loading and feels good my only complaint and its only small one is sometimes can be hard to watch things if its bright or sunny but that's very small complaint"

"if you're a bit tech savvy or know someone who is then you can easily install google play on it which opens up a million and one great apps and not the watered down rubbish amazon have to offer google maps for instance "

"even without 'special offers' all things amazon can be pretty difficult to swallow"

"buyers beware"

"for example youtube has a serious lag issue with wireless headphones but prime and netflix are fine"

"good news you can create folders bad news if there a fire software update it resets the screen so once again all your apps are not in folders but all over the screen"

"the 2mp cameras are ok functional but hardly essential"

"i was disappointed with the picture and sound after changing from an ipad but the ipad is a premium product at a high price where as the fire hd is good for a very low price"

"there is apparently limited casting of amazon film content but i haven't found that yet"

"unfortunately a lot of apps of the play store are not accessible which is not a blocking point if you just wish to watch netflix and use the amazon apps which are working perfectly well but some third party apps are thus unavailable i'm thinking about ultimate guitar for instance for which only copies of the original app are available "

"unfortunately you have to put a case on it as feels so weak once you put a case on it it becomes massively heavier!"

"i find them irritating and contacted amazon for advice on how to remove this feature"

"i hated the ads and the restricted apps so i spent all afternoon into the evening when it arrived trying to load google chrome and play store and then removing the ads"

"no doubt amazon will be spouting 'greta' nonsense why don't they practice what they preach?"

"sometimes it’s a little glitchy but amazons software has always been a little buggy but it’s only because i’m a bit quick when switching apps etc so it could be my fault too quick for the gadget"

"waited a few weeks to see if this was teething problems but it seems that i may have a faulty one so into customer service then"

"the amazon interface can be a little annoying reorganising and not letting you remove apps from the home screen is frustrating when you are used to the flexibility of a proper android launcher but this can be forgiven for the price"

"all in all this is an inferior product compared to samsung tab of similar size"

"well love the kindle fire but nearly sent it back as thought it was faulty screen kept locking so searched online and it turns out this is a known fault with magnetised cases and is extremely frustrating when watching something you move and the tablet screen locks for no reason this needs fixed amazon"

"only annoying thing is there is no youtube kids"

"the other problem with the samsung was that it came loaded with loads of software that i didn't want or use but you could not uninstall them the fire does not come with all that unnecessary rubbish so more storage space"

"compared to other android tablets the fire hd is a very nice machine that is hamstrung by a restrictive and poorly judged operating system"

"i use the tablet mainly on streaming sites and i have had absolutely no buffering or stuttering problems"

"i was wary about purchasing this as i had one of the original kindle fire tablets years ago that was as glitchy as hell and difficult to navigate"

"also the speaker is pretty poor in show mode"

"i requested to get the call and never happened"

"then on top of that it began making a nasty sound all the time like a radio being tuned in"

"if you multitask on it you will find it a little big laggy"

"charges quickly and even using power biographies only drains the battery down to just under 50% in a day"

"the only way to remove this annoying feature is to return to your amazon account on line and navigate to 'manage your content and devices' paying back £10 to amazon for the privilege but worth doing in my opinion for your sanity!"

"will download a few to check if it repeatedly happens but don't think i can trust a device that will randomly remove all of my content leaving me with nothing to read when offline"

"i use the tablet mainly on streaming sites and i have had absolutely no buffering or stuttering problems"

"the only little niggle at the moment is an icon about emails that will not disappear"

"without instructions it's a bit trial and error and i suppose i' m not using its full potential"

"forcing something upon someone never ends well"

"you have been warned!"

"also the usual bugbear of having to use amazon app store rather than google play because amazon and google can't play well together which causes issues if you use services from both companies but there are work arounds if needed"

"i recently upgraded our 2017 fire hd tablets to this newer 2019 version due to the dreaded faulty charging port issues"

"but when you get down to the fine detail it is incredibly restrictive and just another front for the online shop"

"i didnt succeed"

"also i have to add as i've seen somebody moaning it doesn't have bluetooth it does it's right there in connected devices right where you usually find it i can only summise the reviewer must be short sighted or a bit dim to leave 1 star reviews moaning about things being missing that are there in plain sight"

"forcing something upon someone never ends well"

"she suffers from macular degeneration and finds it almost impossible to read a book with normal sized print"

"return initiated"

"amazon have also removed adobe acrobat reader app so the convert to pdf for printing doesn't work and it's also not possible to view pdf documents"

"had it a month and having issues already bbc sounds app has stopped working and also netflix app has just stopped working amazon and netflix have no dea why so if these apps are not going to work it's useless and will be going back for an android device i think it's a problem with the amazon apps as the same apps work fine on everything else in the house"

"i already bought the tablet and really don't like being bombarded with advertising to buy more things when i just want to surf the net"

"generally the the specs aren't too bad for the price but when you factor in how much the operating system is screwed down in amazon's favour then i find the price too expensive"

"please don't groan i have been computing since the zx and the time when ms powerpoint came on 5 floppy disks!"

"fifthly downloading previously bought books took days sixthly now all concentrate here the killer amazon will not allow you to download books from other websites so be warned they are making so you only buy amazon products surly this is illegal?"

"it’s a nice attempt at a cheaper ipad but watching a movie and looking at photos the screen lacks definition"

"the first one stopped charging within the one year warranty and amazon replaced it"

"only a 4 for the screen as my 4 yr old dropped the tablet and the screen has cracked already"

"wanted to give my daughter the new kids fire 10 hd tablet on christmas but it was outta stock until mid february so went with fire hd 10 "

"the only negative it the camera which for me i never use anyway"

"hard to find a case for the 9th generation though but a 7th generation case may well have all the bits in the same cutouts as the 9th generation"

"however through on line research i found helpful instructions on how to bypass amazon's unreasonable restrictions and to open the door to other android apps"

"which was getting slow and refused to get another overpriced tablet"

"geeky review i know there's a trade off between high price of tech and amazon branded advertising but the tablet is so much better if you side load an android launcher and google play"

"disappointed that you can access only amazon apps"

"to get around it tbh so never effected me so ywag give it ago i dont know about dor the kiddies but its durable ill give it that ive dropped it without a case twice nothing no marks nothing absolutely dory but i have seen if you get this for your child there is a kid app just for kids and you"

"other than this slight problem the screen is rather good"

"but then again it a 10" tablet if you wanted to hold it for long periods you probably should have gone smaller"

"i do love alexa i used the timer feature to keep track of the christmas meal cooking times so easy "alexa set turkey timer for 3 hours" alexa set stuffing timer for 1 hour" "alexa set veg timer for half an hour""

"then i made mistake buying this just to have suggested apps games & advertising for any & everything dogging me constantly during use"

"i feel apprehensive using it"

"i am though a little disappointed as the body of the tablet feels a bit delicate sometimes it's making a wobbly noise "

"the other problem with the samsung was that it came loaded with loads of software that i didn't want or use but you could not uninstall them the fire does not come with all that unnecessary rubbish so more storage space"

"i also don't like that that the back page button is down on the bottom bezel and not where google has it in the top left corner of the page and there is no forward button to return to the current page"

"the screen goes dark very quickly meaning i have to press the button at the top quite often is a bit annoying when i'm trying to do something like booking or buying"

"if you want to install apps to which you may already have ongoing subscriptions such as anti virus or vpn you'll have to load google play onto the device"

"it's a lot of tablet for little money"

"you can download other android apps from google etc but not all will function and apps like ebay are not available at all for the fire competition perhaps?"

"the notificationa on email facebook and messenger apps are very delayed or it doesn't notify you at all"

"well love the kindle fire but nearly sent it back as thought it was faulty screen kept locking so searched online and it turns out this is a known fault with magnetised cases and is extremely frustrating when watching something you move and the tablet screen locks for no reason this needs fixed amazon"

"i have used constantly about 3 5 hours and lost about 13 percent"

"setting up apps can be quite frustrating"

"it is not worth the damn money or any flipping money for that matter"

"then i made mistake buying this just to have suggested apps games & advertising for any & everything dogging me constantly during use"

"geeky review i know there's a trade off between high price of tech and amazon branded advertising but the tablet is so much better if you side load an android launcher and google play"

"my husband has a broken neck and he is in a brace so being able to talk to alexa and give verbal commands makes the use of the tablet so much easier with limited movement"

"ignore the doughnut above there is bluetooth support"

"nothing i have downloaded before unless bought on amazon is accessible"

"if you try again the screen can be swamped by adverts trying to sell you all sorts of things that you don't want and are difficult to remove"

"my only criticism would be the cameras they're woeful quality"

"also there is just too much restriction as you can only use amazon app store which is very limited in the apps available to be downloaded when compared to say 'google play store'"

"first impressions were not great felt cheated by the screen yes it's a 10" but i wasn't aware the length width ratio would be so different to my previous tablet it's too long and skinny so feels smaller than it should feels like watching vids on a phone"

"i had umpteen timers running simultaneously & i could use my voice to dismiss each one as it went off"

"the screen can be dragged up down left and right to various other pages and menus"

"i had previously rated this tablet as 4 star see below however i've had to change my opinion completely and downgrade this review as i have since found out that you cannot directly connect to this tablet with an otg cable and card reader so as to read sd cards from say a digital camera"

"first impressions were not great felt cheated by the screen yes it's a 10" but i wasn't aware the length width ratio would be so different to my previous tablet it's too long and skinny so feels smaller than it should feels like watching vids on a phone"

"then just drag and drop icons you wont use into this folder"

"well love the kindle fire but nearly sent it back as thought it was faulty screen kept locking so searched online and it turns out this is a known fault with magnetised cases and is extremely frustrating when watching something you move and the tablet screen locks for no reason this needs fixed amazon"

"it has killed 2 sd cards within few weeks"

"no doubt amazon will be spouting 'greta' nonsense why don't they practice what they preach?"

"amazon apps totally ignored and do not bother me"

"amazon has replaced my hd10 but sent a used refurbished product without informing me beforehand apparently they only issue refurbished items as a replacement "

"i have used constantly about 3 5 hours and lost about 13 percent"

"for the latter the 10 inch screen is a perfect size not too small or too big to be awkward to handle or store"

"also the cameras may be ok for face2face conversations but totally rubbish for anything else"

"having used a 7 inch tablet before i found it a bit awkward to hold"

"is as if the device has been rushed onto the market without a fully developed support service"

"amazon will also not let you play your own legally owned mp3s on this tablet unless you can guess this"

"i purchased this to replace my 8 yr old ipad which was getting a bit sluggish due to lack of updates being available"

"by using an internet search it always brings up the amazon web page ahead of the ebay search results which tells me that there is a dodgy spy program on my kindles memory which is set up to frustrate those attempting to use ebay"

"much prefer my old 7 gen shame the charge port let's all amazon down"

"waste of money now the screen has cracked but thats obviously my own fault"

"and now tv also not supported"

"security software is a problem i use kaspersky but as yet been unable to i nstall"

"the cpu sometimes is slow"

"the charger is big and bulky and a poor design when plugged into the machine"

"i was so excited when i first received the tablet however i was really disappointed after using it"

"i returned it for refund and bought a 'real' tablet that lets me configure and load whatever i want and with spyware that can be removed and for the same price"

"it is completely baffling"

"sorry guys but this is not acceptable"

"why is back casing so loose?"

"only thing that annoys me is the fact of adds which wasn't stated when i purchased it from argos"

"which was getting slow and refused to get another overpriced tablet"

"maybe others have similar concerns"

"what if i have changed my email address absolute bonkers"

"will be contacting support soon to see if they can rectify this if not won't reccomend this to anyone"

"they fees you a load of crap about that's why it's discounted and u can remove for ten pounds"

"that leads to the next negative it seems every time i want to read a book it tells me i have no downloaded books in my library so have to keep reloading the book i am reading!"

"shame on you 2 stars on your way for your incompetence and for making your customers lives harder"

"the next screen to the right of the home screen is movie links from prime and once here trying to swipe back sometimes is impossible as the row of movies just moves instead of the entire screen"

"well love the kindle fire but nearly sent it back as thought it was faulty screen kept locking so searched online and it turns out this is a known fault with magnetised cases and is extremely frustrating when watching something you move and the tablet screen locks for no reason this needs fixed amazon"

"don't have a clue why but just doesn't"

"i bought a new kindle because my old one is all but worn out and i have a problem with switching it on and off but i can't now put the old one aside or get rid of it because i need to be able to print things and the new one doesn't seem to be compatible with the printer"

"unfortunately you have to put a case on it as feels so weak once you put a case on it it becomes massively heavier!"

"amazonn has got this completely wrong"

"unfortunately my needs are a little more specialised and i need access to the google play store which you can't get on this tablet you used to be able to side load google play store on the previous amazon fire tablets but unfortunately amazon have now blocked this "

"maybe it needs a factory reset but after a month is not good and will the apps work or still fail"

"***feedback updated*** i have taken away 2 stars from the product due to faulty sd slot"

"come on amazon get these apps working or you'll loose customers!"

"fear not its easy "

"also some apps i normally used were not available via the amazon app store"

"that's a shame"

"basically entire area above front camera i can press in with my thumb"

"generally the the specs aren't too bad for the price but when you factor in how much the operating system is screwed down in amazon's favour then i find the price too expensive"

"when i turned it on for the first time after doing the updates and logins pages it was so responsive"

"if you're not a prime member i'd recommend you avoid this tablet"

"my first 2019 fire hd 10 arrived and had some rather bad light bleed on the bottom and lower right edges when viewed portrait "

"using the built in browser i find it's not always responsive to pressing links which is annoying"

"what i'm not over keen on is the heavy lean towards all things amazon specifically books"

"the other problem with the samsung was that it came loaded with loads of software that i didn't want or use but you could not uninstall them the fire does not come with all that unnecessary rubbish so more storage space"

"i find them irritating and contacted amazon for advice on how to remove this feature"

"this makes tablet useless to me as all the good apps are only on play store"

"the light bleed on this one is definitely something you could live with and only noticeable if you are actively looking i wouldn't have noticed if i hadn't been looking due to my first experience"

"after alot of faffing with my google a c settings i searched online only to find out amazon have restricted the use to their appstore which is rubbish"

"only downside for me is that it’s quite heavy compared to my kindle paper white when i use it for reading"

"some you will want will not be available"

"i don’t like the fact they integrate amazon services so heavily into the os but that’s why it’s cheap"

"i've dropped previous versions always in a case as was this one unfortunately this one was dropped once and the screen cracked!"

"i have access to an alternative well known web browser which i'll probably be using instead of silk which i consider to be inferior"

"bang for buck ratio is insane"

"it was utterly soul destroying and took forever to do!"

"norton is incompatible"

"fifthly downloading previously bought books took days sixthly now all concentrate here the killer amazon will not allow you to download books from other websites so be warned they are making so you only buy amazon products surly this is illegal?"

"the negative thing i will say is that i find the internet wi fi a bit slow for updating apps and downloading the voices and other bits"

"so points lost for the inconvenience and lack of quality control"

"but why have they totally messed up what was a great unit to something that is only capable of playing selected games ?"

"i watch netflix on there starting at 100% battery 8 hours later it only drops down to 56% !"

"that was a week ago and i still haven't been able to connect the blasted thing"

"it is now languishing in the back of a cupboard along with all the other old rubbish that i shall eventually get round to taking to the tip"

"it has slow response time"

"gigantic ads this device seems made to sell you stuff ergo why it's so cheap"

"which sucks!"

"only downside for me is that it’s quite heavy compared to my kindle paper white when i use it for reading"

"my screen tends to dim a bit during a game & will then suddenly brighten does this make it faulty?"

"no it will not replace your laptop"

"i really like this at first but after a few days i noticed a few niggles"

"case is very pretty but useless as a propping device just collapses"

"a hard back case is a must too for this device"

"the only downside to this device is the camera to me it’s not a big deal as don’t use it to take pictures the picture quality for the camera is bad very grainy and unclear unlike ipad but if you don’t use your device to take pictures then like i said it’s no big deal"

"many android sites on the internet will take you through it step by step"

"i purchased this kindle before christmas as a gift but amazon will not honour the discount pricing on a new device as they insist on replacing my faulty device with a refurbished one despite the item being within the original returns period"

"spending a small fortune on mobile data to redownload what i had already downloaded renders the device pointless"

"i had 7th gen and loved it but the battery port died on me after just when it went out of warranty"

"overall left me feeling disappointed"

"it doesn't work with portable hard drives and you cannot transfer photos off the device unless you use a pc"

"basically everything is same except the 2 year no frills exchange warranty"

"despite having 2gb of ram i havent noticed any major slow downs it runs pip video while browsing with ease"

"i wish my mobile phone battery lasted this long"

"photographs display poorly"

"but these are not really that intrusive"

"another data hit"

"when you even get on to show mode it will crash and you have to turn the tablet on and off again to get the tablet to work"

"i would have given it a 5 star rating on the 'overall rating' mark however i found that some apps and programs from the google app store would not load or stated 'not available'"

"wasnt dropped from a great height but thought it might withstand that type of fall"

"default search engine is bing which is not great"

"my children are all grown up so tried to remove the kindle for kids app"

"as a result it's a disappointing new device"

"i needed a pdf reader that would respond to bookmarks and hyperlink in my documents and i needed access to my on line music and photo video libraries which i have stored in non amazon cloud facilities"

"i went in to the amazon app store to down load norton"

"such a shame"

"but the biggest problem is that i can't connect it to my windows 10 computer to access and download files rendering it virtually useless for what i need considering sending it back"

"bought it hoping it will become my library for books however the biggest flow is"

"if you don't like it pay hundreds and get an apple product apple is far overrated for the extortionate price you pay in my opinion"

"if you want to remove your sd card from the kindle don't forget to go to 'settings' then 'storage' the 'sd card storage' and scroll down to tap 'safely remove sd card'"

"not as convenient as my old kindle fire where i was able to remove from device by touching book or app and clicking on remove from device"

"unfortunately unexpectedly it was 'factory defective' in my opinion"

"i have had to do a factory reset two times so far to get the tablet running correctly and load install my apps that i use hopefully that will not have to be done again"

"and some more tiny niggles here and there but this is a lot of tablet for this price so i'm very happy i went for it"

"of course the downside of this great tech is that bleeding advert where the old boy tells alexa to play valerie as soon as he says "alexa" my machine wakes up & plays valerie"

"has the ability to switch to a large screen echo show by a simple swipe at the top of the screen"

"i’ve replaced my old ipad with something that doesn’t everything and more that i want and need from it and saves i’m excess of £200 "

"i don't understand why this company wants it's customers to hate it so much"

"also i have to add as i've seen somebody moaning it doesn't have bluetooth it does it's right there in connected devices right where you usually find it i can only summise the reviewer must be short sighted or a bit dim to leave 1 star reviews moaning about things being missing that are there in plain sight"

"seems temperamental and keeps turning itself off at the slightest jolt"

"brilliant for people with disabilities"

"haven't noticed any lag of sort yet battery life is pretty good at 10ish hours on average"

"you can add it yourself with a bit of googling"

"when i saw this advertised they talked about the great quality of the screen & fast processor etc they even showed a film on the screen then switched to their doorbell's camera maybe i'll figure all that out later on"

"although i am happy to pay extra it is not possible to remove them"

"i would recommend if you buy this buy a screen protector too as the screen is not covered under the warranty and it's pricy to replace amazon have no repair service i might add!"

"this is the 3rd different fire tablet i've owned and 2nd 10inch model"

"just a word of caution if using this types of case with it"

"when you swipe to the left of the home screen to remove the opened apps by touch and hold some of them would then re appear"

"just one minus point please improve the app store or make it easier for us to download android apps"

"at this stage i really felt that the tablet wasn't mine and that it was amazon that decided what i should have on it"

"sometimes it’s a little glitchy but amazons software has always been a little buggy but it’s only because i’m a bit quick when switching apps etc so it could be my fault too quick for the gadget"

"chat support refused"

"also it is a heavily skinned version of android with only the amazon app store available"

"the only thing i dont like is that you cant delete the icons from home screen so you are stuck with everything you have installed on it"

"when you turn on the tablet there is an ad usually for another amazon product service you can just swipe it off & that's it!"

"they fees you a load of crap about that's why it's discounted and u can remove for ten pounds"

"you have this thick black boarder around the edge of the screen"

"i am told no light is a feature by the amazon customer service a bad feature i think"

"it's not possible to uninstall or even disable or move apps i know she will not use"

"the operating system was slow and i could not watch netflix on it"

"it is a lot heavier than my previous kindle fire 7 and being very long and thin makes the screen size seem well weird to be honest a slightly shorter length and wider width would be much better and it would then fit in my handbag the long length means it wont fit and my handbag isn't that small"

"my main concern is the lack of google apps"

"not happy this time especially the price i paid!"

"for me it is too much amazon centric"

"all considered if i knew this i would not have wanted one"
