I bought this for my grandson for his birthday it was broke when it arrived my grandson cried and smacked me
Our 4 year old grandson absolutely loves this tablet, and it's great for taking on long trips in the car.
My grandson loves the interactive home screen and how it actually changes from day to night as well as the current weather in our city can be seen on the screen.
Our 4 year old grandson loves his Leap Frog tablet and it keeps him entertained for hours.
Great price, my grandson loves it, and one of his few toys he can learn with..
I like having the option of adding those to this tablet, but I love the fact that I can add games to it that we've already bought at Amazon for the other tablets in our house
I love the time controls, the fact that i can add websites i would like my child to have access to without having to use my tablet
I love the fact that my kids can play their existing Leapfrog games
The fact that this only has the Amazon store and not Google play sucks more than I realized
I love the fact that the tablet is strictly a child friendly tablet
My daughter loves the camera feature and she feels like one of the big kids now.
Once this changes I will give 5 stars!(Re: Most important apps missing for us- Tangled, I Spy Spooky Mansion (ALL I Spy), All Magic School Bus movies/games, All Sophia the First, Frozen E-Book, Princess Pop-up Story Adventures, ALL Clifford, Transformers, Iron Man, etc.)Also, it would be nice if they had folders like our Leap Pads had to organize the games they have
My daughter is not particularly rough with it but for a tablet built for children it is certainly not sturdy.
My daughter really loved hers which is why I fought so hard to get a properly working one
My daughter loves it and features like adding your own videos seem more natural with this tablet
Leap search (the kid safe approved content) works great for the websites Leapfrog has picked, but only partially works for the websites that I added
You can access the web with this tablet, but out of the box, kids can access only pre-selected, kid safe web content.
The content on apps is unreliable and customer service is unable or unwilling to work with us
I like that the content is restricted to age appropriate
The LeapFrog Epic also has a search browser that allows access to the Internet, but ensures only access to approved kid-appropriate web content allowing us to know that our kids will be searching the Internet safely.
I am not sure now about my next step, cause it's definitely not a miss use or improper device handling.
I didn't pay all that money for a used smelling tablet.
If I had known you cannot disable it or restrict its use, I would not have purchased this product
so my boys get upset when it has been used by his brothers.-Please leapfrog a picture password in a three combination

The LeapFrog software that comes with the device is decent but not extraordinary, and additional software from the LeapFrog App Store is very expensive compared to other Android Apps, so you will probably be wanting to buy any additional apps from the Amazon App Store instead (this app does not support Google services, so you cannot access the Play Store or other Google services such as Google
which in my opinion one crazy expensive compared to any other app store while the other is a nice gesture, however, its pretty apparent it isnt a priority for amazon to provide "true" children games as the majority of them have ads, in-game popups which lead to an external browser when clicked on as well as glorified icons for ingame purchases.
I cannot say how much easier the EPIC is as compared to the older LeapPads with cartridges that my sister had to deal with when her kids were growing up!

For $140, it might be a bit pricey compared to say, the $50 Fire, but there is something to say about the experience
I'm the only one allowed to charge it because I don't want to break the charger
when my son was coming up on 3 years old it worked great for a month and then all of a sudden the charger just mysteriously stopped working and it wouldn’t charge I contact the
The charger already broke and it wasn't easy to find a replacement
Only complaint he was incorrectly pulling the charger once it charged and the charger broke.
It loads a tiny bit slow but that may be because of the other apps we have loaded up
A bit disappointed but the tablet is well made and price was right

It was a bit difficult for me to navigate for the first hour or two.
One speaker so volume is very low (kid complains a bit about that)2
I love that parental controls let you set up time limits for daily play for each different child account - for total time on the Epic, and/or limits on different categories of play
You can set time limits for learning apps that are different from time limits they can surf YouTube or watch videos.
I love the fact that it has good tracking of time limits
I highly value the safety that LeapFrog puts on the child's access to the Internet, and you can even set time limits for certain types of tablet activities, not allow use on school days, etc
The time limit for it to shut off at 8pm is GREAT - then I don't have to be the bad guy
Every video we try to open says "Aquire DRM Info Failed" or "DRM License Corrupt" and the only remedy is to attach the thing to wifi and then open each video so it can validate its DRM, then you're good for maybe a day or two.
The DRM makes this completely useless for any kind of travel because it constantly caused my son to melt down over videos that would only play the first 5 seconds (thanks, Leapfrog)
Comes with gel cover to protect the leappadCons:We kept getting a DRM failure notice when trying to watch videos offline
We bought tons of videos (generally at $10+ a piece) that carried over to the Epic but unlike on the LP3 which could reside in my car for weeks at a time, the Epic has some outrageous DRM scheme that requires it to connect to the internet at least once every 2 or 3 days.
Leapfrog technical support has been useless and unhelpful as well.
Just like previous LeapFrog tablets and game systems, the games installed on the Epic are created to encourage learning & support critical thinking.*Disclosure: I was provided a LeapFrog Epic for review purposes, however ALL opinions are 100% my own!

Now I am experiencing my charging issue with the tablet starting 14 months after owning.
Parents, do NOT purchase this until Leapfrog figures out what is going on with the battery-charging issues this latest batch is having.
