How to add the today's date on the Fire tablet home page? I checked in setting and can only change the time. The 2nd fire tablet was delivered Thursday and it only took me 47 minutes to install the Google play store app.😁 Your help is always greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Enjoy your weekend.

I don't know if you can put the date on the home page. You have a calendar app that shows the date and you can ask, "Alexa, what's today's date?"

@gardenman : thanks. I thought maybe I over looked something. I haven't set up  or whatever you call it - Alexa.

The ESPN App is freezing while DH trying to watch the Georgia game on the fire tablet and I don't know what to do. I will probably try to delete and reinstall the app later.

Another solution is to use your newly installed google play store to download a small app called date in status bar; install it and then execute it. It will place the day of the week over top of the numerical date in the status bar. It is very small but does remain onscreen until you reboot...then you need to execute it again to have it displayed. Not very satisfying but maybe someone will create a better solution!

Also swiping down twice on notification bar (top of device) will display the date you are looking for, but it does NOT remain on home page.

My Fire has "Sat. Oct 15  7:01" on the opening page!

"People don't usually like to admit that luck and timing are a part of their good fortune."

I've been around long enough to see some really stupid people go far while some really smart, good people go nowhere. If you're in the right place at the right time, good things tend to happen. And a lot of that is luck. Sometimes you just need to catch a break.

Amazon had refurb 10" Fire tablets on sale the other day for $54.99 so I broke down and bought one. I like my eight-inch ones, but the price was too good to pass up and I've had good success with refurb stuff before. And hey, you can't have too many tablets. It's coming today. I'll add the Google Play Store to it and go from there.

@gardenman : It's great and DH prefers the few inches longer when watching Thursday Night Football on the fire tablet. Enjoy.
