i think it is excellent for the price. The size is good. Speaker is good. Bought a good case for it cheaply. Recommend!!
The good: You get a long of bang for your buck. Keeping in mind the price, you get a fully functioning tablet. It does the job and it does it well, though sometimes a little slower than other tablets with more processing power.
The bad: Those transitioning over from Apple will be in for some app shock. There are very few apps that us Apple users are used to having. There's no Reddit app, no Discord app (well, there are - but they suck) and the huge selection of authorized apps that Apple has are not seen here.
If you want any of the 'big' apps, like Monopoly Go or other very heavy memory-using apps, they will not function due to not enough processor power and will crash.
This is also an Andriod device. The protections and much less invasive usage Apple users are used to are not found here. You have to do some customizing (which you'll need to Google for on how to do, as some are hidden a tad too cleverly) to get some of the stupidity shut down/turned off, but it IS possible and doesn't take long.
The ugly: When using web pages, tapping on links can be difficult. Something is a little off with where your finger touches vs. where it actually touches. This means that, if you are on a page that is link heavy, you might not get what you are tapping at and might have to tap a little higher/lower than you're used to.
In regards to the lack of app availability, one of the more ugly things is that there are no banking apps. I'm fine not having an app for frivolous things like Discord or Reddit (and yet they certainly have Crackbook, Instagram, and TikTok, annoyingly), but not having bank apps is just ugh.
Overall, you get exactly what you pay for: A less expensive option to the iPad or bigger tablets. In doing so, you give up some things (like fast processor speed, accuracy, and apps), but I don't find that a horrible thing, especially as I can't afford a bigger device. This one does what I want: Function as a tablet, e-reader, and movie/TV watcher.
The apps for streaming devices are alive and well, which is a Very Big Deal for most users. I'd recommend this to anyone as an alternative to bigger (and by 'bigger', I mean bigger processors) tablets, but this is not the device you'd buy when you want to get some serious work done.
I purchased this device for 1 and 1 reason only. To listen to Audiable.
As an Android tablet, it is inoffensive. The buttons are not placed in a way I'd like making the top of the tablet very busy. But with the addition of a USB-C port and a headphone port more than makes up for it.
From a "official" software experience wise, if you just want a device to entertain your kids with. Disney Plus, some books and Netflix. Then it's a cheap and "safe" buy, if you are OK giving Amazon your usage data.
However the minute you try to use anything outside of Amazon's "ecosystem" it turns into a nightmare. Wanna read a Kobo Book or listen to a Audiobook from Google Play? Good Luck sideloading everything, or being force to use the browser to get some functionality.
What's worse is that if you live in Canada, Audiable can't be found anywhere and refuses to install even if you figure out how to side load.
However after too much time here is my steps to get this device... mostly usable.
1) Install a F-Droid Client, (droid-ify my go-to), here you can install third party launchers (important for later), third party browsers, ePub readers for DRM-free books (KOReader FTW), and more if you so desire.
2) On you F-Droid app, download Aurora Store. A open source Google Play client which makes side loading offical apps easy. You may want to sign in to the app with a Google Account if you want to search on it.
3) On Aurora Store you can download pretty much anything else you needs (and keep it up to date), from Kobo, and Libby. Sadly Google Play books won't work since you are missing Google Play's frameworks, but with Adobe Digital Editions and VLC you can download and read Google Play books from the downloaded acm files from Google Play, and audio books can downloaded directly to your device.
4) Now remember how I said that Audable doesn't work on the Fire Tablet, despite saying that it's the reason I got it. Well with a third party Launcher like Lawn Chair, you can see all the pre-installed apps Amazon didn't want Canadians to play with... including Audable.
Now with all this said if you want to keep the device upto date, then you can't change the default launcher (-1 star), and the fact that amazon's own services are knee-caped which makes even the unbranded tablets look like a better deal (-1 star). It makes it hard to recommend.
However it's easy to setup, and it comes from a reputable (both good and bad) company. So please do with this as you will.
