Apps not what I want!, Have found many apps that I like. | Apps |
Don't buy!, Not one thing on ths tablet stood out. . very cheaply made...I didn't even download anything or set it up. . I turned it on. . scrolled thru pre-installed apps and immediately knew I'd be sending it back. . very dissapponted! | FOS |
Does not support Beachbody workout app, I bought this tablet to complete my workouts on the Beachbody.com app. After receiving the tablet, I found out Fire tablets do not support the app. You can't even use it on the internet on the tablet. | Apps |
Not worth a nickel, It's rare that I call a product and pieces of junk, but that is exactly what this fire tablet 10 is. I've had it all month and it's totally whacked. Every time you try to do something, an ad pops up and it takes 6-8 tries to get them away only to have them reappear. This is very frustrating and rend... | Ads |
Disappointed. . !!!, I had heard some really good reviews from a friend of this tablet and bought two for my kids and it has got no home button. No matter what I do the home button has a mind of its own. It appears out of blue once in a while, until then there is no way to exit out of SILK. Absolutely disappointing. I ... | FOS |
Does not work for the one reason I purchased it for, I purchased this tablet for ONE reason (well I guess two, one was it was on sale for $50), the main reason was to take notes on OneNote while in meetings at work so I would stop wasting so much paper. I have purchased two different stylus' that Amazon said was compat... | HW |
Not worth the money., This is the second kindle have ordered recently and, like the first, it won't hold a charge for more than a few minutes. | Battery |
Tabket, Not sure just very disappointed in the tablet sorry to say | null |
Not What I Expected, Wanted to update to a new tablet. I teach fitness classes and need access to particular apps. Can't download to this device. Waste of money. What's worse, this tablet is now cheaper than what I paid for it. Pretty much worthless to me. Guess I'll gift it to someone who wants to play games all day. ... | Apps |
ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!!!, We bought this for our daughter's birthday, and of course we bought it ahead of time, so pretty sure the 30 days is past now, although we literally just gave it to her and took it out of the box, and we are EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET about this tablet!!! We downloaded hulu on it for her and ... | Apps |
Failed in 1 yr 6 months!!!!, Very disappointed. I loved it while it was working. It stays on my desk, was NEVER dropped, never touched by a drop of liquid. In a case since day 1. Purchased April 22, 2022. Thursday Oct. 12, 2023 it just turned itself off and won't restart. Battery was at about 50% charge at the time(bec... | Battery |
A Product Not Designed For Current Times or Apps..., This is a Non-Pad. Upon startup usage, I attempted to add my apps to it, not knowing that over 75% of the top most utilized Apps that the US Consumer uses cannot be loaded on any of the Amazon Fire Tablets. I contacted their support and explained, that I tried to loa... | Apps |
Google apps are iffy, Mine quit working after 3 months, just one day stopped working, did a reset and lost most of my apps and could not get them working again. there is Lots of kid content stuff, but as I can see now not very adult friendly for getting things accomplished. | Apps |
Not fully functional, Got this for my daughter. The volume is barely audible without headphones. Literally cannot hear it sitting in a silent room without holding it up to your ear. Poor quality. | HW |
Don't buy, I was trying to download my email, games, etc. to this tablet when my power went out and I lost my internet. When our power was restored this device kept telling it couldn't restore without an internet connection. However I had an internet connection as I could surf the net and not surprisingly order from Am... | FOS |
Dependable, Nothing | null |
App store is LACKING!!!, This tablet was supposed to be my cheater smart home remote but the Amazon fire tablets don't use the Google play app store, it uses its own app store. And the Amazon app store doesn't have fundamentals like the smart hub I use, Geeni. It doesn't have mistplay, it cant screenshare with my fireT... | Apps |
Dead in less than a year. Worked perfectly until it didn't., I was initially very happy with my new Fire, and I mostly used it to read books and watch videos. One day it suddenly quit. None of the troubleshooting or reset suggestions work to power it on. Customer service is extremely limited. Only 9 months after purcha... | Battery |
Seems fine, but WOW why is the app store so bad, Terrible, firefox, not available. Marvel, not available. Bitwarden not available. So sick of having to Hack amazon products to overcome their poor app choices. STOP LIMITING MY HARDWARE TO BOOST YOUR SOFTWARE SALES. THESE ARE ANTITRUST VIOLATIONS | Apps |
Battery stopped charging after 9 months how to replace?, This was a Christmas present for my grandson. After only 9 months the battery can't be charged. Plugging in the device indicates it's charging, but it does not charge. Getting product support button doesn't do anything. | Battery |
The first and last Fire HD, The device actually works perfectly, but what should you do with it. The Appstore is a joke, all the usual apps don't work. Everything only related to Amazon. You can only work in the Amazon world. By and large, money wasted. | Apps |
The app stops working, I mainly use HD8 Plus, but it's been a while since I launched 7 and tried running it for half a day. The app is crashing all the time. And if you don't restart it, you won't even be able to start it up. Why did you buy it because you can't even watch videos... I'm so shocked. | FOS |
Did not work, Does not work useless! | null |
One and a half years, A year and a half has passed since I bought it. It's not like I dropped it, but all of a sudden the characters and images began to be duplicated. There is no fix even after trying various things such as restarting. There were other people who said it would be double in the ★ 1 review, so they may ... | Display |
After less than a year, the battery no longer charges!, Very disappointed, it charges up to 75% no more and drops back to 1% in the time it says so. | Battery |
Waste of money, If you want to play games or watch YouTube, it's OK. Other than that, most apps suck, you can't download apps you like or want without going through a lot of headaches, the browser sucks, and the app store sucks. The whole thing is set up just to buy their crap for TV, music and books, otherwise worthle... | Apps |
What with all the ads, I've had this tablet since 2022. It became my sole tec device. I used it for everything. Then last week I opened my book and tried to read and ads popup about every 90 seconds running 30 seconds to 60 seconds. I tried to find out why this was happening and called support for help. The technician ... | Ads |
wish I had never bought it, Because of Chart Boost I can hardly use the amazon fire tablet I purchased. It continually jumps from ap to ap on its own, or I should say chart boost makes it jump to the aps the programmers want to get good reviews on by making it look like I purchased them or play them. All I want to do i... | Ads |
BEWARE of ads--you have to pay them to take the ads out, I bought this product for the asking price only to find out that I supposedly got a discount so they could flood my device with ads. I now am getting a 1 minute game video every 30 seconds to the point I literally can't use my device. I tried calling customer ser... | Ads |
toys, When it was suddenly initialized and all the data was erased, the thought that was about to be twisted to see if there was any use for it also disappeared. It's perfect for buying only for people who want to experience what it's like to experience a product with poor performance. You'll be able to see how great C... | FOS |
An expensive and useless toy, There is no other use other than buying things on Amazon and watching Amazon Primevideo. | Apps |
Product damaged or not working properly, Received product and it was not packaged appropriately for shipping. The volume and on off buttons were not working properly were floppy in case. Other aspects like brightness level would not hold level after setting. So Received damaged. | Delivery |
Device disabled in Canada, I bought this to use with Show Mode to use as an Echo Show in my office, as the device is widely advertised to be able to do this. Apparently that doesn't work in Canada. Total trash. Do not buy in Canada unless you want an intentionally disabled device. | FOS |
Bought 14 months ago battery only goes to 6% now, It was great when it would charge. Now it only charges to 6% | Battery |
Works great, when I can get the battery to charge, I really liked this tablet, the first month. After that, every time I try to charge it I get a "moisture detected in charging port" error. You have to try it about 10x before it will finally start charging, but then you have to shut it down immediately or the error wil... | Charging |
Very slow, Very slow, take so long to do simple comands | FOS |
The book list is displayed slowly, The Fire Max 11 takes ten seconds to tens of minutes to display the book list, so if you use a book reader, I think a model such as HD10 would be better. I was able to read multiple volumes of continuous books smoothly on the HD10, but on the Max11, I had to wait a long time to read t... | Apps |
scary, This is the third one. The 1st and 2nd units were fine, but the 3rd one became unusable due to water detection or the like (not used in places with water), so I had them replaced. The new one is good, but now the internet is cut off quickly, and when I return it to the time of shipment, it connects, but it only ... | Charging |
Battery defected, Tablet does not hold a charge for 12 hours like stated. Goes from 100% to 1% in minutes | Battery |
Absolute Garbage!!!, This tablet is absolutely useless for anything. I would not recommend. Big lots would probably make a better tablet. Save your money!! | null |
Not good for kids, The majority of the apps my kids use are not compatible on this device. I wish I had returned them. | Apps |
A Regrettable Purchase, Right from the top, I would not recommend this to anyone. At the time that I am writing this, I have owned it for 10 months. Realistically, one considers this purchase because they are looking for an inexpensive tablet, knowing that the performance and specs will be inferior in every way. In thi... | Battery |
WHY is Alexa not available on Fire HD 8 tablets in Canada. this is unacceptable!, This is outrageous - I wanted the Show mode - now I have no reason to keep this piece of equipment, hardly any better than the last... I am UPSET, and used to be a loyal customer - I have 10 echo products that work, but this tab does not.... | FOS |
difficulty using storage like HD10, Behaves differently than HD10. Had to find and load the MTP app onto PC, wasn't needed for my HD10. The power cable has to be reset every time you want to do file transfers from external computers. Won't do both at same settings. File app is difficult to get set on micro SD external ... | SD |
Freezes a lot and no good apps, Mine freezes a lot and I have fast internet. I have no problems with other tablets or computers. There are no good apps. Their battle with Google is messing up their products. Can't download any good apps for digital journaling or not even use Youtube properly. It is NOT worth it no matt... | Apps |
Incorrect camera description, Decent value tablet - but I'd only bought it as an upgrade because it said that BOTH this model and the hd8 plus models have 5 megapixel cameras... But this isn't the case. This tablet still actually has the same (pretty poor) 2 megapixel camera | Order |
Do not buy!, I got this for my daughter so she could snapchat her friends while her phone got fixed. Doesn't support snapchat! Also to note is how sluggish and slow this tablet is. I would advise not to buy this product, my daughter has been laughing at me because its that bad a product! | Apps |
Refurbished Tablet, Tablet will not maintain WiFi connection. I need to connect to my WiFi numerous times in the day. This became constant after five months of using the Tablet daily. | WiFi |
Caveat Emptor (buyer beware), Shame on me for not doing more research before buying. The operating system is Fire OS and should not be mistaken in any way as an Android OS. The Fire tablet is so locked down and dumbed down it is really only good for streaming on line content, playing games or smart home control. Most (... | Apps |
Native text to speech removed, Native text to speech on device was removed. Now you have to route kindle text to speech through Amazon Alexa which also struggles with replayability and often skips pages as it goes. Major loss of functionality and honestly was only reason I was buying an Amazon tablet. Now these are jus... | Apps |
Eh, I liked it while I had it, but much cheaper than previous versions. Pro's battery charges fast and lasts long. Con's headphone jack just stopped working. Only lasted me 10 months. | HW |
I hate this tablet but it's not because of the actual tablet, The color/power/sound is fine. But, could they possibly have more ads? I can't even get through a game without some kind of LONGGGGGGGGGGGG ad and if you press it too early, the stupid app adds on. I had to reset my tablet just to open up some space. Accessi... | Ads |
Financial Institutions no longer recognize SILK as a safe system!!!!!, I did all of my Banking with CITIBANK for over a decade with my Amazon Fire Tablet. Now CITIBANK refuses to allow the SILK system and Amazon does not seem to care? CITIBANK IS NOT ALONE. I have to buy a new tablet or use a different bank. I have pur... | FOS |
Not very good help in the troubleshooting and the tablet glitches over everything I'm so frustrated, I bought this tablet to play games on I've had nothing but trouble since the second month I've had it even the first month was a little bit but now I absolutely hate it I will never buy this tablet again because I can't... | FOS |
Worse spent money, Well, however, do not even waste your money for biggest 💩 I've ever seen. There nothing you can do, no youtube or something to play for child. You buying even extra free ADS, but still those ADS all in occupy your child's device. I wish I could send it back. | Ads |
The movement is heavy, I bought it for videos (mainly for YouTube). I haven't installed any apps, etc., but the response is slow every time. I tried various things, but there was a bit of excitement, and it stopped frequently. I don't recommend it. | FOS |
Objects in mirror are smaller than they appear, It's meh. As a Fire it works as intended. I'm not happy anyway. It's barely larger than my phone (I should have paid closer attention to the size, I was hooked by the price.) . I'm going to go blind trying to read books on this - so I won't be reading books on this. I als... | HW |
Very commercial item, The system was designed only to serve Amazon | Apps |
Don't believe product description, Kindle was listed as having an 11 hour battery life. No where close. I can expect maybe 2 hours. | Battery |
Can't give it zero stars, I hate this tablet. It has Amazon programming and useless apps that cannot be removed and I cannot download the apps that I need. Customer support is useless and completely ineffective. Save your money and buy a name brand tablet, you will be happier. | Apps |
Worked beautiful until it didn't., I bought this April 2022. It has worked great, and then I turned it off Sat night, still with 74% battery left and Sun. it wouldn't turn on. It won't take a charge, won't turn off, nothing. It's only a year and half old. My old kindle that I can't use anymore because it's only 3 G net... | Battery |
Apps, I dislike the fact that I can't pick and choose what apps I can use on this tablet it's all about Amazon if I had known this, I would not have purchased it | Apps |
Not a good tablet for roblox, Overall its a good tablet . social media apps work good. But when it comes to roblox. It just does not work. Images are blurry, game constantly crashes. An older iPad 8th gen works better and find myself going back to it. I really wanted to like this tablet but its slow and has less apps o... | FOS |

Bad support, I purchased this for my fiance and unfortunately only lasted 6 months before it started glitching and completely reset and now it will not update or register with Amazon. I've tried customer support and every trouble shooting they've suggested and still nothing with no extra suggestions or solution to repl... | Setup |
doesnt last long enough to be a good investment., like a a lot of products those day, the amazon fire HD tablet live barely long enough to cover the 1 year garanty and then just stop working. the battery life was surprisingly long (could last 1 week before recharge) wich is a good thing, but sadly after only 1.5 years ... | Battery |
I wish I would've returned it., You get what you pay for. Can't surf the net because of all the buffering. | FOS |
Short battery life. Very short. It's already dead. Gone. Done., This 2021 model 11 was purchased 12/22 for my daughter. She complained about the battery rapidly discharging within a few weeks of use. I honestly thought the issue was her not charging it properly. I finally got my hands on it, plugged the tablet into my ... | Battery |
Not a great device, slow, crashes and bad screen quality, Pros: - Price on deals (40gbp) - Google store and rest can be installed - Ordered with ads but received one without (excellent) - Kodi works well on this device Cons: - Slow and laggy - Many apps just crash and have to be restarted - Screen resolution and qualit... | FOS |
Lemon, I bought it and a micro SD card, but I kept getting storage full messages and unexpected shutdowns. Then it didn't recognize the card. I got replacements for both and while I got it reset up it still didn't work smoothly. 3 months later I am once again getting storage full messages and unexpected shutdowns. I lo... | SD |
Do not buy!!, I never write reviews, especially negstive ones but...This is my fifth Fire tablet and by far the worst! Loved all the others, no problems. This 11" is full of glitches, freeze-ups, keyboard problems, touch sensitivity problems, throws you out, switches screens while using. I always used my tablets for mu... | HW |
Cheap, Basically this is a budget tablet. Decent screen with lots of apps. Other than that there is few standing out. The WiFi sucks, disconnects frequently then reconnected after a while. Latest updates won't fix that. Very annoying watching sports games. The SD card won't recognize the NTFS format. Meaning you are ou... | WiFi |

Speakers went out after 18 months, Everything else is/was fine, for what it is, but keep the above in mind. Might go back to the old one I have. People are right, things used to be made better. | HW |

P.o.S. Interface for a Tablet, clogged with adds, impossible for a senior citizen (or adult) to use., I've been in the IT business for over 30 years, and I think I'm quite qualified to say, this is the worst product interface I've ever seen! It is filled with advertising crap to a point that it makes the tablet a piece... | FOS |
It didn't last two months..., [[VIDEOID:ceecda004bbb48fa25e9e31dd6cf4244]] It lasted only two months... And I am the only user that I've been using the device.

Sucks, Just purchased this tablet 3 days ago. Runs slow the volume doesn't work properly. Keeps making ab alert sound. Wish I can return. I thought is was brand new but seems refurbished. Don't waste your money! | HW |
Battery sucks!, The battery only lasted a year and a half! | Battery |
Numerous software issues -- I returned and stuck with my old Fire, Numerous software issues. Very frustrating to try to use. I gave up and returned it. I noticed the price has decreased from $280 which I paid to $150! Huh. Maybe because people hate it and they need to unload them? Also lost my tradein 20% discount beca... | Order |
to complicated too many passwords, Too complicated difficult to load apps difficult to use | FOS |
Slow and Very limited Apps, Extremly slow and very limited apps in the app store. You have to go through the hassle of a sideload and remember to not permit app auto-updates for some apps. The less expensive DMOAO 11inch tablet or the UMIDIGI A13 10inch tablet both have much better Geekbench scores and my experience wi... | FOS |
No power cord, Item arrives without a power cord. Not very useful as a doorstop. | Charging |
1 Month and 17 days after the one year anniversary and the device is no longer functional, I suppose it is just bad luck, but this is the second Fire 10 I've purchased that has become essentially useless after the warranty has expired. More fool me. Oddly enough, I have an Ipad 2 and a Nook HD that still hold a charge ... | Battery |
Dead in less than a year of light use, Device won't charge/power up. Tried troubleshooting steps provided to no avail. No warranty support apparently. My daughter has a custom case and micro-sd already for this thing. Time to throw away another $50 on a replacement. | Battery |
Great idea poor execution, I think the Fire 11 is the best one I've owned technology wise, but it's features really make it worth very little. 1. The app store has few of the apps I use and love. Since the OS is Android based this feels like Amazon trying to decide what apps I can and can't use. 2. Kindles have been ar... | Apps |
Do not buy if you're looking for long term quality, Purchased earlier this year and the screen blacked out mid scroll I have no idea what happened! Yes, I've tried all the hacks to get it to turn on on luck. | Battery |
Doa, Dead on arrival | Battery |
Won't stay charged, Haven't even had it a year and I can barely get it to charge . . once I get it to 100 percent I turn it on and bam it dies and tells me it's at 1 percent. | Battery |
Goes like this, Actually a nice tablet, good picture and fast processor. Unfortunately, only a few apps work My wife wanted to use it to watch TV, it only works to a limited extent because not all apps go on the tablet. So it's better to switch to an Android or iOS. | Apps |
Being able to rely on a company, I didn't like the fact that I bought a brand new tablet from Amazon and it broke after a couple of months. I purchased insurance for it when I bought it. I called to get a replacement for my broken tablet and they sent me a refurbished one. I have lost my trust in Amazon. I wil not be b... | Refurb |
Odd Duck, I thought this deal was too good to pass up on but... I knew it was a Fire tablet and not a "real" Android tablet but I didn't expect it to be 3 versions of Android behind, i.e. 11 to 14. And the buttons were oddly placed - across the top. And the power socket was there as well. Just odd. Returned | HW |
A nightmare experience, Thank you to Stephanie from Amazon for her help in resolving a part of this. I now have a working Fire Max. And one was returned. Five stars to Stephanie! | null |
Tablet, Unfortunately it broke down even after a few months, my children didn't get anything out of it. | null |
Disappointed regarding inability to download and run apps., I as very disappointed in the failure to load certain apps, but having to use the web based versions. Wayz and WhatsApp, for starters. | Apps |
Keeps turning off, “New” tablet keeps turning off after less than a minute even though I set sleep at 5 minutes. | FOS |
Never again!, Works great until it decides to have “moisture detection” when charging despite having been nowhere near water. . It locks the charge port and over time I've had 4 tablets this has happened to with no resolution. Will not be buying another fire tablet again | Charging |
Shuts off while using it., The tablet keeps shutting off. | Battery |
Stopped working, The tablet stopped working after about a week. I got it exchanged and the one that it was replaced with stopped working after a month. Not worth it | null |
