Dont fall for their promotions, The tablet is fine. Great battery life, however I sent my older tablet in for a refund which I got because it was in great condition. A month later, they took my refund money back, claiming they never received my tradein. All documented by emails, so after spending over an hour on the phone, still no refund for my refund. The one person was just awful and kept telling me he needed supervisor, there was no supervisor. Wouldn't tell me what issue was and still no refund. Lost connection, no call back, terrible customer service!!!!!!!!!!! PS I am a very active prime member too. | Order |
Warranty not refund, I bought the Fire HD 10 pad on Black Friday. Received it. So it was mine. And it was broken. Has a 1 year warranty. Spent 1 hour and 3 different transfers to establish I wanted a replacement not a refund. Today they gave me a refund. Don't believe Amazons' 1 year warranty. I can buy it again for $15 more. Mr. Bezo does enjoy my money. | Battery |
Defective, Gave the tablet for a gift. Worked a couple days and then the sound coming out of the speaker was all static. Now the tablet won't even turn on. | Battery |
too small, way to small for anything | HW |
Touch screen worked for 3 days, Touch screen stops working | Display |
Screen went out after a few hours, [[VIDEOID:f1a9effc8e3de3b94cf5367ec3576458]] I bought this kindle on December 10th as a Christmas gift for my daughter. We took it out the package on December 27th and set it up and she played it for about 30 minutes then charged it and later in the day the screen started messing up and so I submitted a return and refund we'll see what happens from there. My daughter was pretty upset so hopefully I can get her another one soon. | Battery |
The Grinch has stolen Christmas, [[VIDEOID:6c743d08f0520d3b83c9f9c173e9f3d5]] This little pad isn't a regular ipad, it's a promotional product for Amazon, you can only use this device for things concerning Amazon. The Grinch has stolen Christmas. | Apps |
Weird browser, Got for my elderly mom. Browser is silk. Lousy browser. In addition tablet keeps glitching and the browser keeps popping up. | FOS |
MIsleading tablet description, The description on Amazon said "ad free" but this tablet has just as many annoying ads that gets me caught in a loop when I try to play backgammon. I wish I hadn't bought it! | Ads |
Don't buy, Worst tablet I used. Apps are very limited. The camera is so blurry it makes no sense to try and use. Best part is the fact it keeps the fan from blowing away my papers on my desk. | HW |
Game progress does NOT transfer, On my old Kindle i had a few games i had played since 2017, used money playing and much to my disappointment, putting it mildly, no games progress transferred. I play 5 lousy games and furious that if Amazon can provide this game apps, Amazon coins, then tbey should provide means of transferring ALL data. I will never buy another Kindle and by word of mouth i known who won't as well. i even had a few books that didnt transfer and good luck speaking to a CSR that has good English speaking skills! | FOS |
No ATT DirectTV Stream AP!, What is the deal here? What is it between Amazon and ATT that Amazon won't include the ATT Direct TV Stream AP? That's why I bought this thing in the first place. The only way to watch ATT Direct TV Stream is through a multi step process through a browser. Why not just allow the App???? Dumb! | Apps |
Not worth the trouble. (they deleted my review), Too complicated to get google play store and simple apps that my child enjoys from their previous tablet. Huge inconvenience and waste of money. Do not buy this. Only has a limited selection of apps. And Disney+ won't even work. | Apps |
Easy to use, but no, The sound is scratchy with some game apps. Returned one to exchange but found same problem with this model. | HW |
Ruined surprises, Once logged in you are unable to log out of Amazon shopping app. If you try to log out it will force you out of all Amazon apps. So if your teenager pulls it up he can see what he is getting for Christmas. Was on the phone for what felt like forever being told I should just search how too do that or being told to archive every single order. You CANT just log out of one app. | Setup |
Don't buy, Don't buy this tablet it doesn't work the screen blacks out constantly. Another rip off by Amazon. And I purchased if for my very senior Mother so her frustration caused this to be stuffed in a drawer leaving her isolated | Battery |
A gamble, I have gotten 5 fire tablets total over the years, and only 2 of them worked well. The other 3 had issues with the screen turning off/timing out constantly while being used. Its really hard to use a device when the screen continuously goes black. Customer service wasn't helpful. Buy a different product because amazon can't deliver quality devices. | Battery |
What a JOKE!! NO Hoopla Digital or Vidangel Apps!, I bought two of the 2022 HD8 Plus tablets for Christmas presents, and intended to buy a third. I am planning to return the two i bought! I went to the Amazon app store to download one of the primary apps my family and I use - the Hoopla Digital app. Well, it is not available for these later tablets. Likewise, the VidAngel app. We're better off to go back to our old tablets and then purchase a different brand that will actually allow us access to the apps we use. If Amazon won't offer us the apps we use, what good are these new tablets?! What a joke! | Apps |
slow loading at times and jumpy screen, originally had ads but amazon began loading screens that wouldn't go away when i swiped the screen - the ads were timed. had to get rid of the ads. like case and clean lines, good weight | Ads |
Worst tablet ever, Literally the worst series of tablets known to man. Trash OS, not user friendly at all, sucks for kids. Insanely slow! This tablet is more for either old people or just ppl trying to find a cheap variation of a ipad, not understanding what they're about to get themselves into. Honestly, I'd NEVER get another of of these. And I'm actually really surprised Amazon continues to make these trash tablets. | FOS |
Audible or Amazon? Huh?, I bought this tablet simply for reading and discovered it is supposed to be great for children due to the read along feature with ebooks. Let me tell you, figuring out how to do this is like building a rocket. I have managed to get ONE book to work with audio and I had to jump through major hoops to figure it out. Everything is just so confusing. Account management is a pain also! My goodness. I am extremely bummed out. | Setup |
Not a replacement for an iPad or Android tablet, If you're looking for something to replace an iPad or other Android tablet, this is not it. | HW |
Waste of money if your kids play Roblox., I've bought cheaper tablets that support Roblox better then this one. It kicks you off every five minutes. | FOS |
It tells me telegram app that I use on my phone is banned in the usa. More illegal censorship. ., Illegal censorship of free speech going on with this device. | Apps |
This is a pretty abysmal device, I own a Kindle. I've had it for a long time. It is ad supported. That doesn't bother me in the slightest. It merely shows an ad on the sleep screen for a product, and then if I am interested, I can click on the ad to go purchase the product. I've actually purchased a few books this way over the last fifteen years or so. With this device, the ads are extremely intrusive, and they are oftentimes difficult to get out of without accidentally clicking on "the link". In fact, I don't play games on this device because I found that I was accidentally installing games every time I tried to exit out of the ad that came up between levels. Streaming video is much worse. Over the course of a two hour movie, I expect the movie to freeze 3-4 times to the point where I have to exit the app and come back in, oftentimes having to rewatching 3-4 minutes of the movie to get to where I was. And then you have the app store. We all know that the Fire is essentially a nerfed Android device, but it tends to be pretty easy to install the Google Play app store on most Fire devices. Not on this one. After several tries, I've been unable to find a version of Google Play Services that works consistently. Even for $30, I would not purchase this again. Oh, did I mention the shell came in pink? Man, the only color in the universe I *don't* want. The good news is, the one use I'm getting out of it is for a metronome to play music. The stand alone metronome that I also use cost $50. So, you could look at it that way, I guess. I bought a $30 metronome. | Ads |
Think i got a tablet with a bad battery, I bought this for my 5 year old for Christmas. It was fine out of the box. I set it on the counter to charge and when I returned home, it wouldn't turn on. It took 3 HOURS for it to turn back on and the charge port moves… A LOT. I am extremely disappointed in this tablet. It looks so nice and the screen is much bigger which made me want to purchase in the first place. Really bummed. | Battery |
Horrible quality 2 tablets in 1 year, This tablet is cheaply made. 2 tablets in 1 year and the best they could do is have me return it and then they will see about a replacement after the tech team takes a lool at it. No sorry my son shouldnt have to go without fir 14 days on his holiday break because you dont want to make this right. Two phone calls to chats nothing done so im returning this and spending a little more for a quality product from a quality company. | Order |
Can't download apps, I got this tablet for my niece for Christmas and tried setting it up for her. While doing so I found no ways to download apps to the tablet. I tried options from forums with others who had same issue. I hard reset and factory reset went through storage to clear cache and storage, force stop. Nothing worked so far highly dissatisfied | Apps |
Arrived broken and cannot get it replaced - Poor Customer Service, DON'T BUY THIS ITEM. I bought this for Christmas morning for my 3 year old granddaughter in August. When we turned it on the screen had lines through it and it would not allow us to do anything at all with the touch screen. When I called Amazon to replace it, I was told that someone else had registered this serial number. Obviously this was refurbished not new as ordered or Amazon has something corrupt going on. I was then put on hold time after time with no resolution. I sat on hold waiting for a supervisor forever and they picked up after a hour and 26 minutes. And the rep could barely speak English. So, I am left with a BROKEN Fire HD10 that someone else illegally registered. To replace it I had to reorder which costed me the original cost plus an additional $65 because I originally got it on sale. And won't receive it until after the first of the year. No help from Amazon and worst customer service ever. My granddaughter and I are both extremely disappointed. Merry Christmas-Not. | Display |
No HOOPLA!, Bought it to read books on HOOPLA library app but can no longer download the app on this new Fire tablet. | Apps |
Doesn't Work!!, Got this tablet for my son for Christmas, straight out of the box the thing just flat out doesn't work. You can't click on anything on the screen, it just won't respond or open any apps. Complete dud. Going to get my money back and go with a tablet that actually does something. | Battery |
Not impressed/disappointed, I traded in my old hd10 for a new one because the old one stopped charging. The trade in gave me 30.00 gift card and 20% off a new hd10. Made getting this new one $45. So I opted to get a new one instead of a different tablet because I was satisfied with the old one until it wouldn't charge. The new one came and I was upset to discover the size/shape changed. The new one size/shape is shorter and wider and does not fit the previous had 10 tablet cover that I have and love. All my previous had 10 accessories do not fit or work on the new one bc of the size/shape change. It's a racket just like iPhone Changes every model to force you to purchase all new accessories. When I started using my new hd10,I discovered that the Amazon app does not work on the new Amazon hd10 tablet. You have to use the internet/Google if you want to shop on Amazon which begs the question of why??? This is an Amazon tablet, why does the Amazon app not work on it? My overall impression is to avoid purchasing another one. Do better amazon! | Apps |
Frustrating, I purchased 2 of them for my kids for Christmas to update from their previous version of kindles. I was able to sign in and set 1 up but not the other. Even the one I setup is not pulling in the profile correctly. Both are getting returned as these things are not user friendly. There is absolutely no reason for setup to be this difficult. Feels like outdated technology. Disappointed. | Setup |
Certified junk!, The tablets speaker was broken upon arrival! Now I have to send my child's gift back and be without for at least a week such an absolute bummer!!!!! That's why I hoped certified would actually be functional!! | HW |
Trying too hard to sell some game. Interruption when reading a book. The screen goes blank, Reading books. Disappointed | Ads |
Worst user friendly product ever, Set up screen gets stuck trying to load web pages then pops up temporarily unavailable also there is no back button or way to exit this only way to get out of it is to restart the tablet unable to do anything on the tablet without setting up Amazon horrible | FOS |
Not an actual tablet you cannot get real apps they are all filtered and based on shopping dont buy, it is not actually a tablet, it is for shopping and only for shopping on amazon | Apps |
It keeps closing some apps after you use it like in 5-10 mins they suck no worth the money, Blah blah not worth the money | FOS |
I hope you are an Amazon techie!, If you are wholly dedicated to the Amazon experience, this is for you. Otherwise, it is a living nightmare. Downloading apps is difficult, at best. Deleting unwanted apps appears to be impossible. Purchase intention for "kid friendly" tablet. Spent way too much time figuring out how to lock it down so my Amazon account wasn't charged by kiddos making inadvertent selections. | FOS |
Poor app selection, Bought this specifically to download NFL app to watch games on and doesn't offer it in there very limited app selection. | Apps |
By the time you figure out how bad these are you are stuck with it minus lots of $$., Just say NO to all modern day technical garbage... it's all junk and will mane you very unhappy. | HW |
Only one browser, with no adblocker or extensions... Avoid this like the plague., The Silk browser has NO ad blocking or extensions. That means that if you play YouTube videos, you get incessant crap foisted on you, and there's nothing you can do about it. And in private tabs, you can never get rid of news suggestions. Block some and more appear. You play whack-a-mole against Microsoft/Amazon and NEVER win. Save your money, and spend more to get a true Android compatible tablet. If I hadn't got this as a gift, I would have returned it. | FOS |
Dont get this for yourself lol. the UI is actually dumb as hell., The constant adds are stupid,and you cant customize your own homescreen? My family is used to having a blank canvas for a homescreen not a stupid amount of bundled apps on the screen. | Ads |
To buy paper white for book, Alexa sucks it speakers suck not loud enough | HW |
Cant run a slideshow of pictures, I got this with an intention of running pictures on slideshow. | null |
Do not buy for a teen, The Fire tablet is fine, but getting it for a teen is not worth the hassle. Pre--existing family teen profiles do not seem to sync with the tablet. If you have a teen in your household, you still have to recreate a new, unrelated child profile in the tablet (and it is literally a child profile. Teen profiles seem to not even exist in Fire Table world). Hardly a seamless or even common sensical set-up. | Setup |
A complete failure., If you plan to use it to download applications, you first have to download the Apple store and for that you have to download 4 more applications in an order, after that, if you're lucky you can find the Apple store icon to be able to download some applications because not all of them are compatible with this device such as YouTube kids. So if you can, invest a little more money and save yourself a lot of hassle with this device. Definitely a bad investment. I'll return them | FOS |
Did Not Know It Can't Do... Most Android Apps, Look, it's a fine machine, but an inability to use Marvel Unlimited and DC Universe Infinite - amongst other Android apps - all but clinches that I won't be getting this again. The lock screen has ads. The price is very affordable, but you get an inferior machine. Better to save up for a tablet that doesn't come with such purposefully imposed limits. | Apps |
Died After A Little More Than A year, I'm so upset. I had a information, books and bookmarks on this tablet. My tablet worked fine yesterday evening but, now I can't get it to turn on or charge. This shouldn't happen after only a year and a few months. | Battery |
Worked for about a year, Bought this for my grandmother and worked like a charm until recently where the toolbar stopped working and she has to constantly restart her tablet to get to her apps. | FOS |
It freezes a lot, Bought this tablet for my husband for his birthday and it's keeps freezing for videos and YouTube he plays a few games and does the same | FOS |
Battery Life is horrible, For the price it's not bad but I guess it is what it is because of that. On many occasions the tablet would be charging and when it full I would unplug the charger and in a day time its dead again. I don't know if it have some problem in standby mode or something but it's bad every time when I think the tablet is off and fully charged it actually dead. | Battery |
Broke at 6 months, I have had 3 fire tablets. This one did not last 6 months! Terrible!! | Battery |
Doesn't have GOOGLE, Doesn't let you get to various levels | Apps |
Lots of ads, There were ads alover this tablet for some reason. Like power it on ads, skipping the ads more ads. And we haven't even gone to the apps yet, we just turned the tablet on! | Ads |
It's S-L-O-W, You get what you pay for. I paid $40 for it. I just use it to read casually, and it's okay got that, but even just doing that is too slow! I should have got an 8+ or the 10, but it was only $40. | FOS |
Already signed into Chinese account, Just turned on this tablet and it's already got an account on it. In Chinese. So much for a refurbished product. A call to customer service tech support let me to a rude agent who thought his mic was muted when it wasn't. Very bad experience. | Setup |
Device wouldn't power on multiple times the very first day, It became unresponsive multiple times the very first day of ownership despite having a full charge. When I began the return process, Amazon made me take my device that was hours old, to a ups store for shipping. They should pick it up as to not inconvenience a customer that's experiencing issues with a product. Terrible product and service, off to the Apple Store. | Battery |
Crippled computer., Limited programs and non-working programs installed and cannot be remove. Use for reading and limited video. Hardly use compared to my other computers (4). | Apps |
Inadequate parental controls, The parental controls are so inadequate. There is no way to remove my Amazon Shop information so my kids can see what's in my cart, see my entire purchase history, add things to my cart, and eventually when they get smart enough, purchase stuff. There is no way to log out of Audible on their devices or keep them from seeing the books I am reading which are definitely not always appropriate for children. I would love the convenience of being able to control their content and screen time from my Amazon account but unfortunately these devices are unsafe for kids and won't work for our family. | FOS |
6wks old, 6wks old & completely died. Bought as a lighting deal so not out too much $ hoping to receive new one in few weeks as still under warranty. | Battery |
Don't waste money., They aren't good tablets. Mine took forever to get to me so I tried another friends. Slow and not a good internet browser. | FOS |
Can't use Google Chrome on Fire Tablet!!!!!!, VERY DISAPPOINTED that I cannot easily use Google Chrome on this tablet. Although it can be done, it is a complicated process that is beyond my level of knowledge. Do not buy this if you want to use it like a generic Android tablet. Amazon makes you use THEIR app store and Silk internet browser. In order to even get Google Play you have to download files and finagle the Amazon settings so that you can download apps from Google Play, including Chrome. Therefore, this tablet will simply be an e-book reader for me. What a waste! | Apps |
Unhappy, If I knew they were going to force Amazon apps down my throat I wouldn't have bought this tablet. Can't delete useless apps that came pre-installed. | FOS |
Basic and not good if you need apps, I bought this because my iPad died and i just needed something to tide me over. Mostly I use a tablet to read the news and read Kindle. It has very limited apps. No Guardian News app, which I wanted. I can also easily check to see what's on Netflix and Prime (I don't watch anything on small screen). But that's about it for me. One cannot get apps for banking, medical and all the day to day transactions, so know that before you buy. Browsing the web is OK. A bit slow. You only see the Silk browser from the main screen but one can bookmark Google and add to home screen. I had to go into settings and turn off the auto brightness control, as it didn't work worth a darn. You have to turn it off in settings to be able to control your brightness. Only get this if all you want to do is read or watch movies. Not a replacement for a conventional tablet like iPad. | Apps |
Can't access Amazon to use it, Nothing!!!! | Apps |
Do not buy!, CAN'T PLAY ANY GAMES! ALL SHUT DOWN! EVEN ONES SUGGESTED! I CAN'T SEND BACK! I'M STUCK WITH IT! | FOS |
Just awful, First, it's ads, ads, ads. Ads on the lock screen, ads at the top of the home page. Ads, ads, ads. Second, if there's a way to remove any of it, they're hiding it better than any other secret I can think of. Third, none of the internet instructions give any guidance. "Go to such and such." "There's nothing called that anywhere in the device." Fourth, I can't play some of my games because Kindle, which just started two days ago and has only a shoestring to pay for R&D, has a different OS than what Google Play uses. Oh, but there IS a way to get around this. You'll need three degrees from MIT, an atom smasher, and the patience of a saint. Seriously. Two of the largest computer-product organizations in the whole wide world can't figure out AND INSTALL a clearly very needed patch before shipping a product? This is like going to McDonald's and being told you have to cross the four-lane highway to get to the convenience store on the other side if you want a Coke with those fries. The overall experience, as a result, is like driving a car you bought and paid for and being forced to watch ads every quarter mile. Oh, and did I mention that Alexa comes installed and there's no way to remove her? Her, they can fit in. Google Play? Cue Scotty, "It'd take weeks and weeks of laying out dilithium crystals. I canna change the laws of soulless greed. I've got ta have Alexa listenin' in and reportin' ta the masters who run us all ..." Oh, sure, you can "disable" that little government stitch, but you'll never really know for sure that big business isn't listening in. Why can't the people who produce these devices just leave us alone? Why must they constantly intrude and coerce and monitor? I thought the Paperwhite was a trainwreck. This is like a train wreck but Jeff Bezos crawls from survivor to survivor, selling them cigarettes and licking up their tears while Mark Zuckerberg videotapes and Bill Gates just stands there smiling. | Ads |
Netflix in SD quality only., This tablet has widevine L1, but you can only watch netflix in SD quality. | null |
Can't use Google play store, I dont like that you can't use /download Google play store | Apps |
Not compatible with all apps, Bought to use with lego instructions app, but it's not compatible, POS, WASTE OF MONEY | null |
Worst choice ever, I could not get my amazon account verified on this thing. Over an hour with 2 reps. After many trials and restarts, the option was to create a new amazon account. Finally got into my Fire. Absolutely had it. So much stuff I don't want to see. Downloaded an app and it is not showing up anywhere. Try to download, says it IS downloaded and available for other apps. So where is it? Alexa is the worst thing ever. Will just keep using my old Samsung until it does. This is going back. | Setup |
Can't get any apps, I ordered this tablet thinking that it would be convenient to use with Yummly and/or Whisk while I'm cooking. I love to cook with my teenagers and we needed a bigger screen than my phone so that we could all consult the recipe. Apparently Google Play store cannot be downloaded to it, so I'm allowed to choose only apps in the Amazon app store, which aren't many. I tried out the allegedly comparable "Cheftap" which may as well be a one subject spiral bound notebook and ballpoint pen for efficiency. The notebook would be less irritating. PLEASE if anyone knows how to make this tablet useful, let me know. I got a great deal on it for a tablet, but a bad deal for a paperweight. | Apps |
Worthless, I have always owned iPad's but decided to give fire tablet a try. What a mistake! Way too limited. I have only had for three days and have already ordered a new ipad! | HW |
Lost everything on my kindle fire, I lost my kindle fire. I had books games, things I've had for years. This would be my 3rd. When I ordered the new one I checked the box that it was my Kindle 3. Received it today and set up with backup and restore but all original content is gone. Called Amazon customer support , they were like sorry about your luck. The only thing that comes up are things Amazon wants to sell you. | FOS |
Didn't work, I purchased this for my son's birthday. It stopped working (screen went black and Amazon techs could not get it to reset) I was in a window to return it but Amazon rep said I could exchange it for a new one. I agreed, and when the replacement arrived I found out they sent me a refurbished tablet. This one also did not work and had even worse screen issues. Both times that I attempted to return it Amazon tried charging me to ship it back and UPS tried charging me to package it. It was a mess. I will not be purchasing a fire tablet again. | Battery |
definite problem here. Can't unlock. Keyboard divided in half, Screen lock is difficult to unlock. I can't easily get the unlock symbol to show. Have to restart it. My keyboard has a 3 inch gap down the center. | FOS |
Certain things cannot be downloaded, Certain things cannot be downloaded | Apps |
Was A Christmas gift until you let the cat out of the bag., I hope your Christmas is as good. MY Christmas was ruined. Thanks | null |
Lasted less than a year...won't turn on...disappointed, Well lasted less than one year...got it for Christmas last year and now it won't turn on or start. So much for that! Very disappointed....you would think they would last longer than 11 months. | Battery |
Sucks., Worthless. | null |
Changed buttons on top, Buttons on top have changed positions, black now and are very hard to see. I'm 90 and these changes are hard for me. I had to have my son paint power button red with fingernail polish so I could see it. Also, show mode accidentally gets turned on and I don't know how to get rid of it. Wish show mode didn't exist! | HW |
I think I've bought my last Kindle Fire, This is my 4th. . ? Kindle Fire in 10 years and I doubt I'll replace it with yet another Fire tablet. These tablets come with what seems a reasonable amount of memory, but what you don't see coming is how quickly the memory is taken up by data you don't want, need, or even have the ability to see, much less delete. It. Saves. Everything. And you can't free up much space. Over time, it's totally loaded with who-knows-what. Just all the data Amazon collects on your activity, apparently. The Silk browser has always been sub-par, with no discernable improvement in the last few years. The camera is just awful. Don't bother trying to get decent photos to post on Instagram. I post pics taken with my cheap Android phone, as they're better than anything I can take with this thing. | HW |
Don't buy this tablet crap, I bought one of these tablets, it never fell off and it was well maintained. Out of nowhere the pixel screen got damaged, they replaced me with another tablet, and guess what, the same thing happened again. The screen went to the scrubbing and it doesn't work, it's all pixelated. It's a complete delay, and to top it all off the technical service team says that they can't do anything, complete useless is what they are. | Display |
Getting worse!, Amazon Fire getting worse each one i get. Year old one shuts off at 60%-70% battery, brand new one screen locks up constantly and have to turn off and back on to get it to work again. DONE with the Fire! Where its about to go this winter, right in the "Fire" | Battery |
Freezes and Blacks Out after 2 Days, I received a brand new Fire HD 8 (12th gen) this week. After watching shows on it twice, the unit is frizting out. The screen blanks out about 30 seconds into using it. For some reason the time is not updating. To turn it back on, I have to hard restart. I've tried a factory reset twice to no help. Amazon said they would send me a refurbished one as a replacement. If you're thinking of getting one, I would totally find something else. | Battery |
Worthless, Worthless | null |
Don't waste your money., Save your money and buy a real tablet. This is pretty much only good for Amazon shopping and even at that it's ridiculously slow. Not internet speeds, just typing a word in the search bar is extremely lagged. | FOS |
Randomly changes user what user types, My wife uses this thing ALOT, frequently with FACEBOOK and messenger,she's had several times that she typed something and the software changed it to some thing totally different, latest example, she typed the word "were" to "2343",. She is not happy, hopefully there's a setting or update. | FOS |
NOT compatible with Cricut design space app, Lame! Right now the Cricut design space app is NOT compatible with the FIRE HD Plus. The message that appears when downloading from the app store says "not compatible with this device". Come on, get with the times Amazon! This is probably one of the only tablets that's not compatible Why?? Even my simple Lenovo is compatible. I bought this JUST for use with the Cricut maker machine. Sadly returning now....and will have to purchase another Lenovo. It's too bad because otherwise the tablet seems great. Not much use if it can't load popular apps though. | Apps |
Not so great, I have to restart it after 2 or 3 days because it does not preform properly, i would not purchase a used one again...... close to being junk | FOS |
Fragile, save your money, Didn't even have this thing 2 days before the screen broke. It was in a sturdy case and dropped on carpet, less than 3 ft and the whole screen completely shattered. Now it's completely useless | Display |
Worked for 2 weeks, I have never dropped it or anything now it won't turn on or charge all of a sudden. | Battery |
Free returns doesn't actually mean free, The launcher is bad. Like obtrusively bad. You get stuff shoved in your face constantly (kind of like how spotify does), so i guess it makes sense this is device is designed to be a mechanism to just get you to buy more stuff. That being said, I decided just to get a normal android tablet with a normal google play store app. I stopped owning a printer in 2005, maybe along with most Americans. However, without a label you have to pay $5 to UPS store, or $8 for pickup. Not a lot of money, but every other product I've ordered in the last 2 or 3 years has had a pickup-point without this hassle. This seems unique. It seems like amazon has intentionally placed a sunk-cost bias scenario to discourage returns on these mobile billboards. | Apps |
Awful...just awful, You can stream but this doesn't have any of the bells and whistles you'd expect from an Amazon tablet. It doesn't have the capability of connecting to a Fire Stick and it doesn't have access to decent apps. It does have a blue light filter which I like. | Apps |
Terrible Experience, Constant Marketing, Hardware is nice at the price point, but the software is maximized for revenue generation and ruins the experience. Comes preloaded with unremovable Amazon applications, and new apps and suggestions continuously pushed to your Home Screen with no obvious way to control. Even though I purchased the advertising deletion from the Lock Screen, it's obvious that the user is still very much the product. I bought this to retrofit as a kids tablet, and several application installs fail with a generic error code in the kids profile while working fine in the adult one. Feel like paying $130 to be marketed to while applications fail to install, forcing you to seek out the Tier 1 tech support maze? Me neither. Avoid this ecosystem like the plague. | Ads |
Glitchy, This tablet has been so frustrating, and I finally decided to return it. We had repeated problems with an app freezing and going back to the home screen, and then a random restart when in another app. I shouldn't have to spend hours troubleshooting things like this when I just bought it a couple months ago. | FOS |
