Piece of JUNK!!!, Total POS. Don't waste your money on Amazon tablets, mine is already not working properly after very little use & NO physical damage. My daughters is slower than molasses and may as well be for the disabled or impaired I can't believe Amazon would make this garbage then not honor the POS that they sold me. Very upsetting!! I'll clearly be going with a more durable and warranty friendly product soon for my next purchase | FOS |
Access denied, Out of the blue I started getting “access denied” on a website I had been able to access with every Fire tablet I've owned. The website is for wagering on horse racing and has always been secure. Tried looking up online what could cause without finding a resolution. Had to download some off brand browser (thanks Amazon for not allowing Chrome 🤨) to get access but, needless to say it is slow. Help me understand the rationale! | FOS |
Many bugs, poor touch, Purchased in April, lots of bugs, bad touch. I had it exchanged within my insurance, I tried using the item that arrived as soon as it arrived, but the power went down without permission during operation and it restarted. It only includes YouTube and Netofuri. Why is that? I think I'll wait and see what the replacement is. | Battery |
impossible to replace this with a bad screen, AMAZON MAKES IT A PAIN TO REPLACE THE BROKEN SCREEN THAT IT SAYS IS COVERED BY WARRENTY | Display |
This is not a reliable tablet, I purchased this tablet July 2022. It was repaired once in 2023 under warranty. It has stopped working again (October 2023) and it appears to be the same issue. I do not recommend this tablet - it is unreliable. | Battery |
Just say No, We wanted a cheaper option for my toddler to watch Mickey on long road trips or plane rides. We got this instead of an iPad. The “system” takes up all of the memory so we are unable to use any apps with out buying an additional memory card. Once we bought the card you have to manually move anything you want to open, so my child can't do it himself nor can his older brother. The fire has a terrible interface and is hard to navigate in my opinion. We will have to buy him a iPad in the near future when he is old and wanting to do more than Disney +. I would recommend spending a little more money to by an Apple or Android tablet, instead of having to spend money on 2 tablets. Also I have a kindle paperwhite and I LOVE its just the fires that I'm not a fan of. | HW |
Don't buy, Bought this refurbished tablet for my autistic son, for over $100. It only holds charge for 45 minutes before it's completely dead! | Battery |
Amazon do not help when price drops!!!!, Bought for £299 and within a few days dropped to £199 so phoned Amazon to try and get refunded difference and the woman on phone clearly didn't know how to process. Didn't understand fully? I don't know but other companies grant the customer a refund of the difference within certain time frames. As for the Tablet, its OK, used once and haven't looked since. | Order |
Disappointed, I enjoyed the tablet for a few months until the screen locked and became unusable. | FOS |
turn the page please!, My Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet won't let me turn the page, (quite often). It is maddening at times! The crazy part is it's only two months old. | Apps |
The on off buttons on the wrong side, The on off buttons on the wrong side | HW |
For my daughter, The processing speed is slow and difficult to use, I only use it to listen to music, it can only be used under Wi-Fi, and it's still inconvenient not being able to use it while on the go or on the move | FOS |
Amazon Fire Tablet, On Amazon tablet you can only download anazon apps. Wanted Google and couldn't download it. | Apps |
Hidden SD card slot, and will only open . pdf files via Microsoft 365?, Pretty much says it all. One company being sued for a monopoly will only let me open . pdf files if I set up an account from another company previously sued for being a monopoly. Loved my old Kindle. Let me install an SD card, has an obvious slot for it, let me choose storage location for downloads. This claims to allow up to 1 TB of SD card memory. Apparently tools for cutting into case and wiring and soldering in an SD card reader were optional equipment. Now that my old Kindle keeps crashing in Silk browser, I have to go to a computer to open . pdf files and I cannot add memory. Absolute garbage moves, Amazon. CORRECTION: SD slot was hiding under shell holding tablet. Rest of criticism stands. Also, about time Amazon made these more useful and functional for downloading and transferring files. I have a $300 laptop that runs circles around these. | SD |
Warranty, Brought this item brand new and the battery life is very very short. And this is with limited use. | Battery |
What does a charge time of 3 hours or 4 hours mean?, I charged it for 6 hours from about 10% and it's 73%... even when I connected to free Wi-Fi on the bullet train, the mark came out properly, but I couldn't open the internet. | Charging |
Very Limited Apps . . Handcuffed and Force Fed Only Amazon Apps., Ok tablet but lacks access to major apps most people use and love. No Fantasy Footbal apps, no browser options i.e. Chrome, no Touch Tunes app, no major bank apps i.e. SoFi. Only a few unavailable I discovered in just an hour of use, I suspect there are many many more. You can side load the Google Play Store with help from the Internet, but why bother, there are many good tablet options available. I will be returning for full refund. | Apps |
Can't get it started!, It's not starting! Can't load anything! It might be a good fire but this one needs to go back. | Battery |
Not what I expected, This kindle has a wonderful battery but advertisements seem to be on a loop. Often I can't even get on line to read emails and usually can't follow a link of get an attachment. It's basically useless except for reading a book. | Ads |
Too many pre installed apps, It's not bad for a low end tablet. It just has too many pre installed apps that I can uninstall, disable, or even remove from home screen. I'll use it for now, but won't buy another one for myself. | FOS |
Kindle Problems, I bought this model on 9/26 and returned it on 9/30 because the screen constantly froze when I was reading on the Kindle app. Had to restart every few pages. Had the same problem occasionally on a Fire HD 10 I traded in when I bought the 11 but it usually resolved itself after a minute or two without a restart. I'm now back to using a HD 8 I bought circa 2017 and it works great! I love Amazon products and services. The fire tablets are very good value but if you use the 10 or 11 a lot for reading, you may have problems. | FOS |
If I could give zero stars I would, I had an adventure with this version of Kindle as well as the 10th generation. I only had it for a week and it shut down. Just a blank screen. Do better Amazon with your devices | Battery |
Surprise for kindle, [[VIDEOID:472236b52ebf2ce52ad3afcf964e3857]] It's more or like an I pad. Music movie playing games.good packaging,easy to use, | null |
Product and customer service review, The kindle was great up until I purchased a new router and had parental lock on the device as it was for our 6 year old daughter. I had to update the device to the new router however when I put in the parental password it didn't work. I don't recall changing it however that must be the case? One of the features pushes any apps my daughter requests to my Amazon account so it never even requires my parental password. So I don't recall ever changing it to what we wrote down but then again there was never an opportunity to have to. So anyways I attempted to update the password so that I could add the new wifi router, however the snag to update password is to be connected to the internet. I then researched how else I could update the password by entering the pin incorrectly several times. I was given the prompt to change the password but it would just push me to the Lock Screen. My only option was to reset to factory settings. I called amazon tech number for help. I got a guy that told me that kept disagreeing that I was encountering a flow in the user interface and after arguing rather than trying to help me suggested that I should buy an iPad instead and basically I was getting what I paid for. I then asked to speak to someone else who actually tried to help me rather than try to argue with me. I have fire tvs and kindles, but after this experience I would question whether buying new devices is worth the headache between the user experience for something simple and their own employees recommending another product other than their own. | FOS |
I Think I'm Done With FIRE Tablets..., I've owned 7+ Fire Tablets, and this particular version, FIRE 8 HD, 2022 release, is a total disappointment...I thought, maybe naively, that newer versions would always have great improvement. This is not the case with the FIRE 8, 2022 version. I don't use my fire for gaming or word processing...I just "surf" the WEB, watch Youtube, and listen to Audible books...I handle my tablet(s) carefully, no dropping or other improper care. In light of this, This Fire often, daily, "freezes," and requires a restart...Audible doesn't even work right on this tablet...Other apps often don't load or exhibit instability. I'm sorry I bought this tablet...I wish I could get back my money. Take Care! | FOS |
Very dissapointing., Bought just over two years ago. I've used it perhaps 20 times, for things like watching a movie on a flight. Now the display is deteriorating, getting worse, nearly unwatchable. Picture was brilliant, sharp, vivid, but seems the built quality of rubbish. | Display |
Very bad choice, I use the tablet hptsl. to watch movies or watch TV. With the latter, the tablet shuts down every 20/30 minutes to offer e-books - during baking, the code must then be entered again with dough fingers in order to be able to continue watching. Very poor battery performance. Bad reception: If you have opened more than 2 screens, the film stalls every 4-5 seconds. Unfortunately I missed the time to return it. I will definitely not buy an Amazon Fire anymore. | Battery |
Something that works well, Not happy with this. Keeps locking on screens skips screens and goes blank. Very disappointed.Not at all Happy with this particular model tablet. It s only two _3 months old. Would love to return it. | FOS |
The sound is too quiet, It's hard to hear even when the volume is set to maximum | HW |
It doesn't pair with an iPhone, I bought it to connect to an iPhone Bluetooth so that I could play music from it and it won't connect. So it does not fulfil the one function that I bought it for | HW |
Tablet still has ads, I paid extra for my new Fire tablet to have NO ads BUT Istill have them | Ads |
Awful, Could not get past the set up stage. After being on with the help desk for 30 minutes, ended up just getting a refund | Setup |
Even though I enjoyed the different features but it's stopped working after only 2 1/2., Very annoying and disappointing. The Tablet stopped working suddenly. It was fully charged and while I was navigating the screen turned off. Tried to reopen unsuccessfully. The tablet was received on July 19 and today October 1st, died on me, Hence after almost 2 1/2 months the tablet is no longer working! . | Battery |
Incredibly Disappointed, I'll preface this by saying, I knew this wasn't an iPad or even a high end Android tablet, but I'm incredibly disappointed in this tablet. We bought two of these for our boys to be able to watch downloaded Netflix and Disney+ videos while in the care and when they work, they are fine, but the apps often freeze up or need to be closed and re-opened. I was also surprised how little apps/games there are compared to the Apple/Google apps stores; my boys often see me playing a game on my iPhone and are disappointed that they can't get the same game on their tablet. Many of the games they do have, run poorly. Before my iPhone and iPad, I was an avid Android fan and my LG GPad 8.3 VZW model ran better than this and I would not have considered that a high end model. Even when it does work as expected, I still would not recommend this model. | FOS |
Dissapointment, This note pad is great for games and browsing, which is reason why I bought it. Unfortunately, it is very annoying when you are trying to brows or play a game and ads keep popping in and out disturbing what you are trying to do. I managed to change some of that on the setting, but I still get ads in and out, and sometimes I get porn ads which is very upsetting. Will not recommend this item to anyone nor will I ever buy again. | Ads |
Shuts off on its own, Returning this. Shuts off on its own or returns to home page | FOS |
Screen turns black and will not turn on., The screen will turn black and will not turn on even if it's 94% charged. I have to go and plug it in to electric for maybe 1 minute then it comes back on. It does this at least once a week. . It's I rritating when you're out at the doctor's office or somewhere and you have no power cord | Battery |
Wouldn't connet to Bluetooth, The tablet arrived in what appeared to look like new condition. I was happy and optimistic to see how well a refurbished tech product would work. I tried repeatedly for hours upon hours to connect it to my echo. It simply wouldn't do it. I finally gave up and decided to return it. I am pretty bummed because the price was perfect if it had worked. I bought it specifically so I could listen to audiobooks from the library, but on my echo(s). I wasn't able to do that, so I returned it. | HW |
Why, Your browser is crashing too much. The previous 10-inch browser often suddenly dropped, so I bought a new one, but it's the same here Very disappointing | FOS |
Kindle fire, Definitely not as good as my last Kindle,this is my 3rd one. The screen keeps fading when I use it and sometimes goes off without warning. I don't believe it's worth £99 ! | FOS |
Defective after 8 months, We bought the tablet for our daughter. Unfortunately, the tablet no longer turns on and is therefore defective. To date, no replacement device has been received. | Battery |
Wouldn't let you add apps., Apps are hard to load if you can load anything | Apps |
Too quiet to hear, Difficult to hear. Have tried with and without case. | HW |
