I bought this for my son who is three. He loves it, I like that his access is limited on the child side and I can give him access to certain games that he may not be able to get on his own. I have a son who is about to turn one and he may just be getting one for his birthday. The only thing I am having an issues with is the box said he will get free downloads and stuff but I registered his tablet and I do not see how to access the free downloads.
Very limited memory available to download new apps.

If you have a child who likes to play the same apps over and over again this is the tablet for them. If you have a child who gets bored with the same apps and you would like to download new apps that is where the problem lies. The pre downloaded apps appear to take up about 75 percent of the storage space available on the tablet. I have downloaded an additional 3 apps and now there is no more memory left on the tablet. You have no way of removing the preloaded apps. There is a slot available for an SD card. However you cannot download apps to the SD card nor move any of the preloaded apps to the SD card. The tablet keeps telling me there is a update available, but there is not enough memory available to allow the update. This gives you really only one option. Remove an app that you installed, allow the update to be installed, thus reducing your memory even more.
My 8 year old has a great time with this tablet. I do allow her to switch between the kid friendly side and the normal tablet side, so she can access the app store. All in all great for the price. We have had a few issues with the tablet freezing.
Love the features this product has to offer. I love that my 6 year old can use it with ease, or if I need to use it I can switch it from the Kids Mode and use it for whatever I need as well. Very pleased with my purchase.
Don't expect to move your apps to the expanable memory card. Not going to happen. You are limited to the on board storage for your app installs. Of course don't expect to use all 8 gigs. A fairly decent Chuck of memory is consumed by the operating system. The tablet also tends to freeze up on app start ups.
