Amazon Fire Tablet Special/Reviews Unavailable

FLtricia — Sat, 09 Nov 2019 16:06:05 GMT

I was interested in this tablet for my grandson, When I pulled it up I noticed 2.9 stars on reviews. I have tried numerous times to get to the reviews to see why it rated so low, and it pulls up but before you can read it,,,,poof! reviews are gone.

I will now not be ordering knowing there are negative reviews that I am unable to access. Can't help but wonder if review unavailability is intentional.

As a suggestion, I would go to the Amazon website and read the reviews that are located on their site.

It's the same tablet.

Maybe you could google 'Amazon Fire tablet reviews', there are many review sites that may have some helpful reviews that you can actually read.

Why not check out reviews on Amazon. Btw, I bought this from Q a couple of months ago. It's a fantastic deal on a great little tablet.

@FLtricia If you use the QVC app you can see all reviews there. QVC does this all the time with hiding reviews on their website but the app always shows the reviews with no problem.

I ordered two of the new 7 inch tablets for my nieces. I have read the reviews and they are mixed but, I found them mostly good about the tablet. I also went to youtube and they give the device very good reviews. The fire tablets always make the list in the best budget tablets. My nieces are 7 and 9 and they will be the first devices they ever had. I also have had the 10 inch and the 8 inch back in 2015 and enjoyed them. In fact I might order another one for myself because my Samsung tablet which is much more expensive is beginning to lag and have other issues. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

You can always restore to factory specs and refresh your tablet. Back up your data before you do a restore. It will make it run like new'

Go to Amazon and read the reviews. You can look at the specs and compare the features of all the Fire tablets.

Good morning! I just wanted to give a update. My Samsung tablet died so I decided since I have a phone I will get a inexpensive tablet and I did indeed get the "all new fire 7 inch" in the plum color. I like it a lot. However when I said I checked about it on youtube I meant on my other device. There is a way to install youtube on a fire so I will find out about that. There is a way to install the google play store but, we do not need it because we have amazon prime. Have a good day everyone!

It has twice the storage from the first one I had back in 2015 and it is thinner. The resolution is much better and they added a night mode now which I had on my Samsung tablet which I was surprised to see. I really like it .. it seems to be very durable too. For the money it is a very nice tablet. [and hands free Alexa.] and with my prime account it makes it even better. So this is not the same tablet they [amazon] have made some improvements.

The reason there are so few reviews is because the tablet has not been delivered yet. I ordered one and it is supposed to be here on the 19th. Tracking shows it is here in PA,

It was sent out within two days from the CA warehouse, but I am on the east coast.

Try to read reviews on QVC next week.

You may want to wait until Black Friday. Amazon may offer this tablet on sale.

I bought the Amazon Fire 8 on QVC for $50. Great tablet if you are looking for the best quailty at the cheapest price point. The Youtube App works great on mine, I just had to download the App from the store. Alexa is the worst. I had to download the app because the tablet came with an old version that would not work. I also have to enable every skill for Alexa which is so time consuming. Alexa does not understand commands as well as Google Assistant. Most of the time Alexa can not complete a task. I set up a routine, Alexa gets stuck and repeats the same news brief over and over. The poor quality of Alexa makes Show Mode useless. There is no way that I would buy the charging Show Mode stand. Google Assistant is hands down better than Alexa. Again, if you are looking for the best cheap tablet and can live with limitations, then Amazon is it.

An update to my review: My tablet was so slow. I found out that the tablet was slowed by the sharing of data with Amazon. I went to Settings>Security&Privacy and shut off Device Usage Data, Collect App Usage Data, and Advertising ID. The tablet is twice as fast since I shut off those stupid tracing apps and Alexa.
