Do you have to use their app market place or can you access the playstore?

I took off the OS(icecream i thinnk) that was installed and put on another one that allowed me to access the playstore. Turns out some of the apps at the playstore aren't compatiable with this version of the Kyros. For the most part I'm happy with it. But it kinda sucks when you go get an app and you get the message that it's not compatiable with the tablet you have.

I can access the playstore. You don't have to use their app. It's a lot like an android phone

Yes. You can get the FB app for free from the Play store or directly access it from the browser

99% of the time an app you might be interested in will be available for easy download and installation on Google's Android Market, now known as Google Play. Some interesting apps are available through the Amazon App Store. Here's the issue: you can't install Google Play in this tablet. So whenever an app is said to be available on Google Play, you won't be able to access the download link locations provided there. The workaround for this is: use an alternative app store. And there are hundreds of them. I use Aptoide, because they have a search engine that finds the apps you're looking for in a vast group of stores. The only drawback is that it is not as easy to use as Google Play (in which just one click is enough to get the job done.) With Aptoide you need to learn how to look for an app and you will also need to install the Aptoide app in order to search and install apps through their market. Once you get used to Aptoide, you'll be searching and downloading apps easy and fast.

You will have access to the App Store but most Apps don't work on it anymore due to its old firmware :( not worth it. Also it is no longer supported by Apple Care or Apple Retail Stores.

I have no problem downloading apps. If you can get to the play store then I don't know why? Mine has no error messages.

My favorite market for this tablet is Amazon AppStore. You will get more apps there that actually work on this tablet. Yes, there are various workarounds that will let you put Google Play Store on the Coby but because this tablet doesn't come with a licensed version of Play Store, many apps there are not set up for this device. Go with Amazon.

I installed the Google play store no problem. You may have to do it from. All but easy to get with installed browser.

Yes, sort of... I think that they try to make it difficult so you use their software however, if you go to the playstore homepage and download it using the link it works just fine.

You can download Apps from other stores but Google Play is not supported. Cheers!

Yes. That's the store I use for downloading all my apps and games. Works very well. You just need to get in and make a password and all the normal stuff. Feel free to ask for more help. I will be happy to assist.

Absolutely. You have to go to Settings; Security, Unknown Sources, and allow installation of Apps from unknown sources, which as far as Android is concerned, means any apps from a source other than the Google App Store.

The Amazon Appstore is preinstalled and you can install the Google Play Store as well using methods by a crackberry member on the forum because I have both on my phone.

Yes, however it's slightly limited on the apps that perform well. The store works well though.

Yes, I was able to install (download from google) the Play Store app.I had to do some programmming to my system before I could use the app, but the program was online and very easy to do.When I download an app from the Play Store it gives me a choose of devices my cell phone or the VL Prestige.

I really don't know. I am not app savvy and have not been able to get one for Facebook -- have to Google it each time. I daresay if you are going to buy stuff there, you will get an app?

Unless it has Android Jellybean installed, not at first but all you have to do is run "Google Market" and then it'll update to "Google Play Store".

When purchased I was under the impression that you could. After doing some research, I found that you cannot. All references I had previously found indicated you could load an app, but that is on a different model, the XIOS (an Android device).
