where do you download apps from, and what is the cost ? I thinking of buying for my 7 yrs old grandson primarily for games. Would this be appropriate?

You can download the apps from google play store, which is pre-installed on the tablet. There are thousands of free apps in the store, means you can download them for free. For some popular games such as candy crush etc, are free, too.

Also...............for 12.99, Amazon has a great faux-leather protective case............Amazon's ASIN number for it is B00GI9RMP8

Since it does use Android OS, the apps are through Google play. It has free games to download and some you can purchase as well.

OKAY! Thanks. We're due to receive it on Wednesday so I'll know in a couple days. I just need to get my kid off my phone, wanting to play apps all the time. So, I hope it'll at least be good for that. It would be cheaper than the leappad systems/tablets if so!

Nothing up-to-date. In the AppStore there appears to be newer apps but there's always a glitch when downloading it.

The games would probably not be challenging enough for a very bright 8-year-old; my 7-year old finds it a little too young. This is best for kids 2-6, in my opinion. As far as a handheld for under $100? The DS is a good suggestion; I would wait for a lower priced "adult" tablet to come out.

When it works, you can go to their own store and download other games. You can't use a recent version of Amazon Appstore, and many newer games need a new version of the store. I'd recommend a last-generation Kindle Fire instead. Amazon supports their stuff better.

It's an android OS so you just download from the play market just like an android phone. Some games are free, some are paid.

I just got the velocity cruz ereader r101, when I go to put a game app on it , i get the could not be viewed. Free up some space on your phone and try again. the only thing i have put on the ereader is books and they go on ok.. so why wont the game apps.. Im not very good at tech. stuff . so if someone could walk me through it I would appreciate it very much.

It is pre-installed with Google Play. So, you can download all the available apps.

If he has been around any type of video games i.e. DS etc... It is just like an android phone without the phone feature. If he has played games on a cell phone then he should be fine. I wanted to keep all of electronics on the same platform is why I choose this for my son. It is a little slow on the boot up. But you have access to both Google Play and Amazon apps which gives you a lot more choices. The other thing is is that I get a weekly report of usage and downloads via email.Hope this helps.

Try an ipod touch. As crazy as it sounds there is a ton of educational aps that you can get for the device that are majority free are cost only 99 cents. There is a website called utech tips just google it with educational aps and it will list at least 50 aps free to 4.99. It even catagorizes them for you. If you think about it you are shelling out the same amount as much buying a comparable gaming system. Plus she gets the ability to store music, pictures, and movies as well. Hope this helps

I can't find the app in the App Store either. I see that the company Duo from Discovery Bay has been defunct since 2013. I bought mine over the summer, so it was still available up to that point. The cards were mostly used in a game where the kids scattered the cards, then the app would say which one to find and it would time you. The kids tried to beat the clock while the app showed short videos to correspond with each character. I would suggest returning it for a refund, but the iPad case is so cool. My son loves it almost as much as the app.

You can create a google account and then download the apps from there. Not all apps are free.

That is exactly what my almost 6-year-old does. Its mostly android apps and netflix viewing. It's great and because it's not a phone and I don't let his device remember my Amazon passwords I'm not worried he's going to accidentally purchase something. There is nothing set up for it to be charged to.

Pretty much everything on the Google Play store is available for download, although that's up to the app developer on what is free. There are free games and reader apps.

Sorry for the late reply. You can download apps from the vtech app store as much as you like. Usually linked to paypal or your credit card. You can probably look at the age rating for various games/apps/e-books and download them accordingly.
