One satisfied parent commented: "Excellent value for money. Great easy access to apps and great battery life, [easy to] set up, great parental controls. Lightweight, great colour and loads of functions. Daughter loves it. Prefer it to iPad.", Another pleased buyer wrote: "Great tablet, perfect for a 10 year old. Durable, big screen, good stand. Lots of apps and parental controls. Very pleased with how responsive the touch screen is. Battery life is quite good, especially in comparison to the younger Kindle versions." However, one Amazon customer expressed disappointment with the Fire HD 8 Kids Pro tablet, stating: "First impressions were good, very responsive and like the parental controls, but the content is all very American and mostly Amazon Kids+ which is a subscription. "I bought this mainly for my son to learn and access ClassDojo, but that's not compatible with Amazon tablets. Can't access the app or the website. The phonics apps are mostly American, so not great for first learners, and most other content available to download has in-app purchases." On the other hand, a satisfied customer left a glowing five-star review: "Brilliant for my 11-year-old. We usually have iPads, my child is autistic and broke many iPads even with the toughened case on. This was a great alternative. I love the case and the Amazon Kids which includes audible stories perfect for bedtime... So far this tablet has lasted longer than the iPad and is a lot cheaper."
