3.0 out of 5 starsDesign change was a disappointing surprise
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024
We have two of these tablets from a year ago for our oldest two and just purchased one for our youngest. We purchased one with a larger memory with the intent on giving it to our oldest and swapping cases so she got a “new” old tablet for her birthday and he got the much needed memory upgrade. (Don’t judge, I was the youngest and was happy to live on hand me downs 😂) but with this design change in button layout, it makes the swap not possible. You really effed me, Jeff. Very disappointing, two days before we celebrate her birthday.
As far as the tablets, we prefer these over the more free range one that’s a step up. Not having a real web browser on their accounts is key. I also know the frustration sometimes of adding specific apps and logins, so I guess that’s good? But it definitely filled or preloaded with some real junk. This is a good tablet to use for specific TV apps, for car trips and mental health days for parents. This does allow access to some questionable things, more so in the vein of random shows/movies accessible to them even in a fairly strict setting. I guess it’s really an issue with how shows, particularly older shows or shows produced outside the guidelines of our entertainment laws, are then rated for Amazon.
Well, either way, the product is fine, the change in design within the last year or two seems unnecessary, unwarranted, and like a money grab from Amazon. Really delivered a box of disappointment to my doorstep today, Amazon.
