Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm still rather back and forth with this thing. I didn't expect GREAT but I expected it to not hurt my eyes either and be somewhat worth the money I paid. I'll elaborate. Pros: You can change your tablet name which displays on the upper left hand corner. It's a cute little feature. Sound seems quite nice considering the rest. It's very LOUD at the full volume. Almost hurt my ears. And the quality of sound isn't bad either. It has almost a bassy tune for deep voices on shows. Boardwalk Empire was one I watched on there and the sound was perfect for it. Video and pictures looks pretty nice on it. There's room for expansion with a SD card. Which is nice! Some of the ones I was looking at did not have that feature! The camera seems good enough. (Though it can't find my face.... only my hair line. Lol) It's very sleek feeling and actually sturdy. The back is very "grippy" even without a case. The screen is actually brighter than my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Cons: Battery life is horrid. It may be just mine or something, but I MAYBE get two hours of JUST reading tops. Once it gets to 10% it seriously counts down from 10% to 1% in ten seconds. Don't find many common apps like in the Apple markets or Android markets. (For example: Instagram you have to pay for unless you find it on some other site.) Not much customization anywhere. You can put your apps into a folder to organize them and that's about it. And of course change the wallpaper. App colors seem more pastel than clear and crisp? This isn't a big factor to me at all, just something weird I noticed. Fonts are hard to read. Very hard to read. I did everything I could, and it was still almost blurry, but not? It's hard to describe but it strains my eyes horribly. I am near sighted so this shouldn't be a problem at all. It doesn't seem built for speed... For anything. It clunks along at times, even with just one or two apps open, and closes things randomly. It closes video apps and stutters on videos as well. Screen turns off randomly. Just goes black. Not even locking, just goes black. It's the weirdest thing. The search bar is Bing powered. =/ All in all, if you like Android or Apple, stick to those. This one is cheap, but I'm starting to see there might actually be a reason for that. I have had the Motorola Xoom when it first came out years ago, and I would prefer the Motorola Xoom again over this thing. It's rather depressing seeing as I haven't owned a Tablet since then, and thought I'd give this a shot only to be disappointed. Disclaimer: Yes, I knew the system ran differently than Android and Apple. This one happened to catch my eye and disappointed me deeply. EDIT: One 4 hour train ride and a weekend later... Two stars to One. I completely dislike this thing and I tried really hard to like it. It did not last the train ride while just using Kindle. It lasted maybe 2 hours out of the 4 hour train ride and I didn't even have the light on halfway. I commute a lot, so having something to last the train trips (3-5 hours long.) is crucial in my purchasing. It also began having WiFi connectivity issues, force closing applications more often, and giving me a black screen when it lags down from two low demanding applications open. The black screen stays on for like 30 seconds to a minute. Also, to me, the app market on Amazon's side is a bit lacking and disappointing. Which is also another huge downfall. It's safe to say I'm returning this thing and getting a Galaxy tab.
