Gracie likes all of the same apps as Sally plus the following:ġ. She is in 1st grade, loves puzzles, Wreck it Ralph and girly things. She’s girly, creative, and independent so I’d describe these apps as “easy” because she can use them with no (or minimal) help from me. There is a kidzbop station, Christian radio, kids country, lullabies and even a Minion station!įirst up lets do Sally. The iHeartRadio FAMILY app is awesome and for all ages. Just tap and hold the app or book or whatever it is and select either or both options. You can “download” any content to make available offline AND add content to the home screen for easy access. You download them in the parent section and add them to any of the family accounts you want. We add and use our Hulu and Netflix subscriptions onto each tablet, too. They fit inside our travel backpacks… No complaints. They were excellent on our long Costa Rica travel days, van rides, and cross-state drives to my parents. And for what they are doing they don’t need the latest and greatest HD technology or the biggest screen just yet. 12 hours is quite a long life for a kids device. Its worth noting that we chose the “7” even though it’s not the newest version because of the price point and the battery life. This is great because they can get easy access to “older or younger” content that they may like and enjoy even if not technically labeled for their age. You can see that we can adjust the sliders around their ages. Here is an example of how Sally and Lilly’s look. I LOVE this feature because it eliminates the need to hunt around for age appropriate content. The way Free Time is set up allows you to adjust sliders that fit the age brackets of each child. This feature is 100% worth it.Įach of our girls has their own tablet. I hate wasting money on weird crappy apps the kids want to try that end up being blah. I see them go on sale ALL the time though (Black Friday, cyber Monday etc) so keep your eyes pealed if you aren’t in a rush to buy! Because they come preloaded with a year of Free Time Unlimited we haven’t had to spend a single penny on apps or games or literally anything AT ALL beyond what’s already included. I was worried I would find the android tablet clunky and just be sad it wasn’t an iPad the whole time but I’m completely not! They are SO user friendly, really easy to set up multiple kid accounts (that are interchangeable on all the tablets!) and have everything the girls want and used on their Apple iPods plus so much more. However with four kids who all like to use the tablet it’s not practical to buy that many really expensive devices. I’m a self proclaimed Apple LOVER and shell out lots of $$$ for iPads… quite a few over the years. But my girls really love and use the apps I’m going to list and are occupied endlessly by them which is, of course, the goal when we let our kids have tablet time!įirst of all, these Fire tablets are definitely worth the money. I won’t say they’re “the most educatoinal” because that’s not what this review is about. I’ve also made a list of the apps my girls like the most. I want to answer all your Fire Kids Edition questions right here and also share my Mom-advice. (Find me Are they worth the money? Is the price too good to be true? Are they hard to use? What age is it good for?
