At first I was concerned that the restrictions on the kids version would prevent me from being able to install Disney+ and Plex, but this was not the case. Both installed and work flawlessly as did the Youtube App. It's a safe bet that any 3rd party aps on the amazon store can be installed on the kids version but only with parental approval, which I like.
The battery survived a 14.5 hour drive being used roughly 80% of the time. I was absolutely blown away by the battery in this tablet. I expected to have to charge it on the road, and ordered extra long cables for that purpose, but I never needed to. It easily took on 10+ hours of streaming video from Disney+ without needing to be charged.
The sound is good but we have kids blue-tooth headphones for my daughter to use so we didn't really use the speakers at all.
The picture quality is good, PLENTY of resolution for a child and really more than enough for all but the most snobbish adults. Disney animated movies look great streaming at high resolution.
The WiFi is solid, plenty of speed for constant streaming from my 5G hotspot without any buffering/loading issues. It supports both 2.4 and 5G connections which is good for flexibility and performance.
The kid-proof case is a very nice edition. My daughter held it with ease and though it did get dropped once or twice never got so much as a scratch thanks to that case.
It is also surprisingly lightweight. For something with such an outstanding battery it weighs very little which is great for smaller kids with smaller hands.
I really only have two complaints with the tablet.
1. It's annoying to have to switch to a parental profile to connect to a new WiFi network. When you attempt to do this on the child's profile it will ask for your code making you think that you can just enter the code and connect to the new network. That is how it SHOULD work, but it does not. You must switch to an entirely different profile, find and connect to the new wifi network, then switch back.
2. The tablet does not have the performance I would like to see, likely due to the processor that Amazon chose. The performance lags noticeably when switching between apps and especially when switching between profiles (see my note about about having to change profiles to change wifi networks). It's not horrible mind you, but in this day and age we have come to expect smoother performance. You will not have any issues once you get your apps loaded and going though, which is good.
All in all I would 100% recommend this to anyone who is considering it for your child for something like a crazy long road trip.
Now that the trip is over the tablet is retired until our next long road trip as the dangers of too much screen time, and electronic devices for young children in general are well documented, but I will update again in a year or so when we get it out of retirement for our next vacation.
In order to have a smooth exchange you need to speak to a live representative. You will not be able to perform an exchange on your own through the return options or a bot. The rep that helped me was very nice and instructed me that I would receive my sons tablet this Friday and I have up to 30 days to return the damaged one. There was no hassle and a warranty that is for the first 2 years on this product, I mean you can't beat that! My son is very happy, and I am grateful.
This tablet is spot on what I was looking for. Has lots of educational apps and fun apps to play my son's favorite is the farm all and the cookie cutter word app. He just turned 4 and honestly, I was the parent reviewing and looking at so many videos and reviews on which one to get and would it be easy to use. So, if you are still debating what tablet to get, I would say this one, it has the best of so when my son is older, I can switch it over to a new profile based on his age. He has all the benefits of the Amazon Kids and lots of endless books free games and parent access and monitoring it's great!
Pro's:
- Price is excellent if you can catch a sale.
- Case is very good. Great protection, good quality. I really like that they put thought into maximizing the sound with the case. The speakers are on the edge of the device and they make a cool curved area so that the sound from the speakers is redirected towards the user. Works very well.
- Battery life is really good.
- Curated list of age-appropriate content is very good.
- You can remove content as desired.
- Great warranty.
- As your child grows, the list of content and interface can grow with them. The main interface is optimized for either readers or non-readers and can be changed if your non-reader learns to read. The curated content is age-based, so as they age, the content remains appropriate for their age.
- You have control over age range of curated content. You can set it to whatever you want depending on where your particular child is developmentally. You can also set the range in terms on age range, too. Say your kid is 8, you can make just 8 year old content available, or ages 2-8, or 7-10. Whatever you want.
Con's
- Software could be a lot easier to manage for parents. Some of the content we wanted to remove. It's possible but it took me a few internet searches and some fumbling around in the software to find. I work in technology/software and am pretty savvy and it still wasn't easy.
- No button to show running apps, so you can't directly switch between apps without going to the home screen first.
- Hardware is pretty meh. It's all pretty basic, lower resolution screen, processor is on the lower end, body material is plastic and feels cheapish. RAM is ok at 3GB.
- Storage - only offering 32GB is inexcusable. It allows for very little content to be downloaded/cached on the device and will become a problem at some point for almost everyone. It should be 64GB as the base and they should offer 128GB as an upgrade. You're basically required to use an SD card since the 32GB is so small, most people would be fine if it cost a few bucks more and storage wasn't the problem it is now.
Other thoughts:
The software overall is really good in my opinion. It for sure needs to be more intuitive in regard to management for parents. However, my daughter has had no issues at all with using it herself. The interface is perfect for her age. It also includes some premium content as well through Kindle books and Nickelodeon shows/games. It's shows and characters she's already interested in, so all that content is fantastic.
Another surprise hit was the experiences available with many of the books, that there are options for the book to be read out loud to your child, or for them to read it, or for a parent to read it for them. A very thoughtful and useful feature. My daughter loves having the books narrated for her and is helping in her progress toward learning to read.
Some reviews have mentioned issues with certain apps, including ABC Mouse. We use that one a lot and have had no issues whatsoever. I assume that issues other reviewers had in the past have been resolved by software updates.
When you first dive into this ecosystem, it can be a bit overwhelming. There's a lot of features and settings, as well as content. After learning how to use and manage it, I can say that I really like it and there's nothing currently on the market that's as good of an end to end experience. I highly recommend giving it a try and stick with it as you work to understand everything. Once you've got it figured out, it's pretty easy to manage and great for kids.
