Not a real tablet
$30 sounds great, but this isn't a tablet. It's a Fisher-Price kids toy. Aside from Amazon's own Prime video, basically no apps have the ability to cast to a Fire stick or to a Chromecast (Netflix can theoretically cast, but it never actually works). You can't use the real YouTube app, and the "YouTube.com web app" is going to be disabled 1/1/2018. You don't get a real web browser like Chrome, you get something called "Silk", which is awful. The icons on the home screen seem to be in random order and I can't find a way to alphabetize or organize them, so the user experience is painful. Since you can't use the Google Play store, you can't install any 3rd-party smart home or home automation apps on it, either. $30 is cheap but if I had to do it over, I'd put the $30 towards a real tablet that doesn't have a bunch of artificial limitations.
