The parental controls are very easy and give you several options. My son likes most of the preloaded apps, although haven't been able to get any of the galaxy rewards that were supposed to come with it.
I bought my son this tablet in the fall for Christmas 2014. I chose it for it's parent controls and the fact that I have a Galaxy Tablet as myself. My son loves playing games and doing other things on the tablet. However, the memory quickly became full (more than half of the storage is used by Google applications and preinstalled applications that can not be removed) so I bought a micrSD card to add memory. To my surprise I was unable to move any of the application data or applications themselves to the microSD card. So beware if you want to buy this tablet and want to download several applications.
Pros: parental controls
Cons: inability to move app data or apps to microsd
We bought this for my son's 6th birthday and he is so happy to have one of his very own! It's a great investment because once they grow out of the kiddie games you can switch the kiddie screen mode off, so when they're old enough they can use it just like a regular tablet! The bright colors make it easy to find and the wide screen is perfect for them to play games and read books! The smooth sleeve provides a good grip for their little hands. There's already a bunch of games downloaded so once you take it out the box it's ready for them to start enjoying! There's a quick set up in the beginning which is very easy and simple to do. Don't forget to register your product at samsung.com/us/galaxyperks to get discounts, giveaways and more! Overall, my son is happy so we're happy!
Bought this for my 6 year old so I could have my kindle back. Not impressed with the fact that you can install an SD card, but apparently cannot move any files onto the card. No matter what I attempt to move to the SD card, the available memory does not change. I bought this model so i would be able to control what he has access to, but spend more time trying to make room for the new games he wants so he ends up on my kindle anyways. Do not recommend. I love my Samsung note phone which makes this purchase even more disappointing because I know what Samsung is capable of!
Cons: Did not meet expectations, sd card is useless
Great product this have some cool parental settings and kid mode is great my son and daughter love it the timer is a great tool it gives them candys at the top corner so my son says i have 4 candys left. when the candys are gone the tab locks my kids out and they know they are done. Great product keeps the kids busy while we are shopping for food etc...
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, speakers are loud, battery life is great, kids mode, standard mode
My son is 4 years old with autism. He was already accustomed to smartphones and tablets in the house, but when we saw this one, with a Kids Mode specifically designed to make use fun for kids, provide parental controls,, including cut-off times we had to get it! He loves his Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 for Kids! For the price, I can't think of anything better for a wifi tablet for my son!
