This PBS Kids tablet has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from verified purchasers, with many reporting that it is extremely slow, fails to play videos, and stops working within weeks. A few users found workarounds for the sluggish performance and app issues, but the majority warn that the device is essentially unusable. The low price does not compensate for the poor execution and reliability problems.

  • Good idea for PBS Kids fans
Cons
  • Extremely slow performance
  • Fails to play videos
  • Stops working within weeks
  • Battery drains quickly
