| Kids Tablet question (sorry) 18:44 - Nov 21 with 2084 views | textbackup |
Before I ask - I'm ultra against kids having these devices, BUT having seen some of the learning tools on them I'm swaying towards them.
Has anyone on here got the fire 7 device from amazon? |  |

I've got one. They are good for what they are. I use mine for browsing the web and Sky Go. The screen resolution is ok but not amazing. I found the Amazon store to be quite limited but it has picked up a bit in recent times. Unfortunately you can't access the play store.
Have you seen that they are £29.99 from midnight tonight? I'm buying my brother the 8 HD for Christmas and it might be worth holding fire as i'm expecting a decent discount on that and it's a better tablet with a better screen resolution and a bigger screen. I'm hoping to see it come down from £80 to £50 like at Target in America. They usually slash all their own stuff for Black Friday. |  |

this is purely the kids edition i'm looking at, already discounted from £99.99 to £69.99.. surely they aren't going down further to £29.99?! | |

My bad, sorry, thought you were getting the Kindle Fire 7 for your kids. Didn't realise there was a kids' version of that. | |

Have you got swype or similar on yours?
For some bizarre reason mine, ( the 5), accepted it for awhile and then it disappeared and I've no way of getting it back.
I get fed up of typing a letter at a time. |  |

You know. Keyboard thingummy.
Traces your typing as opposed to needing to tap one at a time.
Swipe = Swype.
Edit: Prediction text app etc. [Post edited 21 Nov 2017 19:44]

We got Yasmin one last Christmas. It can actually be used as a regular fire if you wanted to, but with the Kids edition you subscribe and log in and she can only access age appropriate content. It’s really good and she’s learned a lot with hers. |  |

I personally wouldn’t bother. The eco system is a little restricted for these, limited to Amazon only.
I’ve had a Fire HD, various Android devices and iPads. You simple cannot beat Apple. Look for an iPad mini2. Should be low £££ for one of those. |  | | |
