How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

My wife and I were looking for a solution while in the car for extended periods of time over handing our phones to our son. Now...we were steering towards and iPad but after all of the accessories it would have been 3X the price of this tablet. IMHO this is worth every penny. Just activate the hotspot on your phone and connect it via WiFi to the tablet. Easy pZ

1.0 out of 5 starsNO PARENTAL CONTROL UNLESS YPU PAY UP 3$ A MONTH, CONSTANT ISSUES
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020
WHAT THEY DONT TELL YOU...is that you have no parental controls anymore UNLESS you pay up 3$ a month for kids+ that gives you the parental control that you expect from this out of the box. The hardware and software are in the Kindle already, but they put a pay wall between you and accessing it. This is so unethical I will be making amazon pay for this with many many returns and lots of b.s.
Also, You have no control over what amazon puts on your childs home screen. Why amazon feels it is acceptable to put Marxist anti american propoganda on your childs home screen is a point of concern. They say you have complete control but you have none.

DO NOT BUY THESE FOR YOUR CHILDREN unless you enjoy watching them cry in dissapointment when thr kindle dosent do what it is supposed to, everyday. The apps CONSTANTLY crash or just dont work to begin with.
And why is spanish content recommended to my child when we specifically select ENGLISH when you set it up? Again, you have no control over this either.

We love our tablet. My son is 3 and loves all the videos and games all educational! I get to set it up to where it’s age appropriate items and I can also switch profiles to mine and do things on my profile. Pretty great device and he can play on some apps without WiFi! Bigger plus. Great purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful except for set up.
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2020
Color: PinkStyle: Kids Fire HD 8Verified Purchase
The media could not be loaded.
 We bought the kids fire tablets, not really knowing what we had done. When you first turn on the tablet it goes to the parent account, you have to have an amazon account, and log in.
Then you add a child’s name and make them a child’s profile.
We didn’t realize it came with a year subscription to amazon kids freetime.
I had no idea what it was, but when you set up the tablet, it automatically starts your one year subscription.
The subscription includes COUNTLESS books, videos, and apps.
I will say MANY of these books were not age appropriate for my young children. There is an “age filter” but it only kind of works.
I put the age limiter down to age 2-3 and there were still many books and videos about ghosts, zombies, wars, and just some really weird stuff. Thankfully, there is a “block content” section that you can look up certain words and block those kinds of things. And when the time comes, you can also unblock that content.
It took my about 3 hours (which is the only reason I gave it 4/5 stars) to set the tablets up and remove all of the unwanted content.
So each app needs to be downloaded on WiFi, but can be played off WiFi once downloaded. Same with books, and videos.
You can remove downloads easily, and add apps to your “favorites” for easy access.
You also can search at the top for the kinds of apps, books, and videos you want or prefer. Like I searched for “disney” and about a hundred books pop up, 20+ apps, and related content.
At the top there are many categories to help you find what you are looking for, like “movies” or “educational” etc.
You can also disable the camera so that you childs apps cannot take video of them.
All apps not on the kids freetime subscription must be downloaded through the parents account first. So apps like Hulu, and disney plus we’re kind of annoying to download, but easy enough (There are many YouTube videos that can show you how to download new apps)
Otherwise, the apps are great for learning alphabet, spelling, math, and reading.
The cases are very durable.
The stands on the cases work really well.
The touch screen is really responsive.
The side buttons work well.
They are fairly loud if you want them to be.
The settings and profiles are all locked by a four digit number while on child’s account.
Get the fire tablet with the most amount of storage. We did, and we still want more so bought extra storage (micro sd cards)

My sons only 2 so I was skeptical if I should introduce such a thing to him, but friends and family encouraged me that its easily controlled with timers and activities and very educational an it truly is! we never allowed him to play with our phones so I expected a big learning curve and he adapted instantly! I hadn't introduced puzzles to him yet figuring it might be too advanced and to my surprise it was as if he had done it all before! I was shocked and impressed I actually felt ashamed that a stupid tablet taught him somthing that i didnt! Theres tons of games for younger children feeding animals, cleaning up, making food, washing trucks its great! Its surprising to watch everything he knows naturally or knew already! Its easily controlled for age appropriate things and timers for weekdays and weekends. I was also able to add Netflix and Disney plus for when we're on the go. If you make the rules clear in the beginning, i really don't see a problem with screen use we haven't experienced a melt down yet. Also the very 1st day he stood right on top of the screen but it wasn't damaged at all! Hes fallen down on tile with it.. no issue and it was in a blanket that I shook out and it went flying across the room with no issue! so this thing is sturdy!! Overly protective, helicopter mom approved!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tablet for my 4 year old
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2020
Color: PurpleStyle: Kids Fire HD 8Verified Purchase
Based on the reviews I wasn't sure we would like the tablet. I ordered it anyway cause my toddler would use our phones and download all sorts of apps with ads popping up constantly. I really love this tablet. It gives my 4 year old some educational games to play, videos to watch, books to read, plus I added Netflix and Disney+ for her. She is happy and entertained during our summer at home. I think its great and I have not had any glitches plus battery life is good as well. Set up was super easy.

This is a decent tablet for kids.
The new case with a stand is great and protects the tablet well. I also like the new usb-c charging witch is much more convenient.
Just don’t expect it to be as fast as the expensive Apple IPad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great kid's tablet
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020
Color: BlueStyle: Kids Fire HD 8Verified Purchase
I bought this for my ten-year-old who previously had the 7" version. The 8" is just better in every way, the slightly larger screen size, faster CPU, larger memory capacity, better battery, new built-in stand, etc. I put Minecraft on it and it's lightning fast! He absolutely loves it! Comes with Amazon Freetime for a year, which the old one didn't have. I like being able to pick and choose what he has access to under the parental controls as well. All-in-all a much better tablet than the 7" version and worth the extra cost.

Amazon has this item for 139.99 I purchased it for my daughter's birthday. But then I noticed 2 days later the price drop to 79.99 without warning. NO EMAIL WAS SENT TO ALERT AMAZON MEMBERS THAT IT WAS ALEXA 'S BIRTHDAY AND THEY WOULD HAVE PRICE SLASH FOR THAT.. When I saw this I request a full refund which took 2 weeks . As usual with my Amazon returns When I request it to be returned to same method of payment Which half to an Amazon gift card and half back to my bank account they never put it back even though I call in and requested 6 times before I finally received my refund.All was put on an Amazon gift card. They put it on Amazon gift card so you have to spend it at Amazon and refuse to put it back in my bank account. This is what happened to me twice. I asked to speak to Jeff Bezo,CEO cause they wouldn't put the money back in my bank account.Three supervisor laughed at me ,one, told me I was crazy.Why would Jeff speak to me,I had to agree even though I was angry, why would he? It is not like little people like me who buys up to 1,000 worth of products worth of merchandise a month from only Amazon
made him the billionaire he is ,so I expected to be ignored as usual.They were forcing me to use it on Amazon.I know that could have put it bank account (original payment method).I hate bad customer service.I would rather pay an arm and a leg for something if it means I would get treated like a human being.
