About time

Finally a great alternative to the Kindle when it comes to parental controls. Only had it a couple of days and our 11 year old is very happy with it. So nice to have peace of mind knowing she can only access her apps. You can download apps at Google Play Store and place them in the kids profile. The rest of the tablet works as you would expect from a Samsung product. Highly recommended!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Do not buy this product!!!

Bought this with the assurance that it would child friendly. Is very complicated. My child blocked the 'child lock' by tapping in buttons. We have been long term Apple family with IPADs - we needed to buy new and on the salespersons recommendation got this for the kids. Big mistake. Been on the site for over an hour and it offers no help - just tries to sell me stuff. Will see if I can take the product back ....
Cons: Did not meet expectations, no support on line, not intuitive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My son will be THRILLED when he gets this for Christmas!!!

I have a Galaxy Note II and my toddler loves using it for the apps and when I found out that this tablet existed, I immediately got it for him. I recently got him a Leap Pad II, but he had no interest because he prefers apps. I just got it all prepared for him and downloaded all of the apps from the Google Play store. It was easy to set up and is just like my Note II. He's going to LOVE it!
The only negatives that I have encountered, that are just personal preference are:
* The music that constantly played in Kid Mode is irritating and should be able to be shut off separately
* I wish that I could feature my son's favorite apps on the main page as opposed to pre-installed apps
* I wish that I could feature my son's favorite apps on the main page as opposed to pre-installed apps
Other than that, SO HAPPY!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Worked fine for 2 weeks... good bumper.

Not as intuitive as other tablets/OS's my kid has used, but the bumper alone is cool and well designed for kids.
However, within two weeks of using the device (never dropped or damaged), the tablet would not turn on or charge after a full battery drain. Tried all suggestions online (holding the power button while plugged in, and the volume button, etc.) with no results.
Sending it in for repair. I can update when it comes back.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best thing since sliced bread

Got this for my daughter for Christmas 2013! Got it out and started playing with it and set up since Santa delivered it. When I went to best buy I knew I wanted this one, however the guy did try to get me to go with Nabi, now I let him take me over there to demo it he said it was very durable smacked it on the counter very hard, uh.....ok so.... Then he tried to go to the home screen and it was freezing and all over the place, so I went with my gut and got this one, AMAZING! Flawless so far, we will see once it starts getting played with, I'm not sure how it would do if it got dropped, but my kids are taught to respect their toys, cause if it breaks you are not getting another one! Great job samsung! One issue though is there are no accessories and you can not buy the stylus an desperate case alone yet, fix soon hopefully! Go with samsung! There is a reason the Nabi is cheaper!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, kids timer, comes with bumper, 10 dollars google play, 40 dollars worth of kids apps
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pretty good tablet for what it is intended for

I will start with the minor things that would've made this device a 5 star all around:
1. Screen resolution is not great, would've been better if it was 1280x720 or better.
2. It still lags sometimes in the UI (kid's or standard), which really shouldn't happen with the dual/quad core processors most devices have now. This is not the 1st or 2nd generation Android device where we have single core 600mhz processors.

Other than that, the tablet meets/exceeds expectations for my usage as well as my kids. I have yet to see how it will handle our own videos that we want to load into the device for the "Kid's Videos" app. My hope is that I won't have to come back here and add a 3rd negative.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def
