I bought this tablet for my 3 year old..let's just say he's obsessed with it and I LOVE that...The operating system, the pre programmed games and learning apps are great...reading counting alphabets and problem solving are just some of the things that kids will excel at. My tot loves his Samsung Galaxy Tab 3-kids
I bought two of these tablets for my children and they keep going out. They will just not turn on anymore. It's very frustrating to keep having to send in my tablets in for repair. I just got one back and it didn't even last a month. Another issue with this tablets is the operating system that it runs on. The tablet has an sd slot but the operating system will not let you move any applications to your sd card so you are stuck with an 8gb tablet. The external sd card can only store videos and pictures. Don't waste your money on this tablet. I have lost faith in samsung because of this tablets. I own a samsung phone and television but will definitely not be purchasing products anymore.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, not durable, outdated operating system
Sturdy tablet for children but has a wireless issue

I purchased this tablet for my 5 year old son. The kid's interface was actually a hindrance for him though as he had a cheap Android brick (I say that as the brick didn't last 3 months) prior to this Galaxy Tab 3 and the kid's interface was a step backwards for him. Fortunately there is an easy way to put the tablet in normal mode and with that he was a happy camper. The rubber bumper was replaced with a normal tablet case so he could be like his older siblings. The only downside of the tablet came when it went through a system update. When the update occurred, the tablet would be connected to my home wi-fi but would refuse to go onto the internet. A factory reset fixed the issue but as soon as the system update was re-downloaded the problem came back. The value I had to ding as there were other tablets within the same price range that came with 16 MB. The 8 MB fills up quickly and since the Android OS does not allow one to install and run programs off of a SD card, my son learned resource management at a very young age :)
Pros: Durable
Cons: 8 gb is a small amount of memory these days.
My daughter loves this tablet. She has downloaded games, with my help and the beauty of this tablet is that it comes preloaded with lots of games including an art pad, Wipeout, a hair dresser app that lets them play cut hair and stuff and so many other neat apps. It also comes with the Orange case so when you get the tablet, you dont have the added expense of a case for it. OVerall, great device.
