    • My kids couldn’t care less about the free time gimmick

    • My kids have a hard time finding what they're looking for and not being able to organize the games they play often is annoying

    • So basically they have to stay in Free Time
    • Love that this tablet was affordable, but not too keen on the UIWish that they had something like the Samsung Kids Mode where I could manually choose what they could use and lock it down, with free time all they do is push all the apps and it starts downloading.

    • so I chatted with Amazon about whether I should register the devices to my Amazon account (amazon.com) or my daughter's (amazon.it), to be told that the free time unlimited only works in the States

    • She asked questions for about 20 minutes including questions like is this the first time and can you go to settings (this was after I told her the screen was black)
