Leapfrog tablet-Great Learning tool and experiment
Very easy for my 4 yr old granddaughter had never played this before. When she walked into the house she saw this game on the kitchen table. She easily loaded it in the game machine and she was off and playing this game with no questions. She loved it.

    Perfect
    Came in the next day, proper and official packaging, perfect condition. Bought the same one from Amazon prior and got a refund because they sold me a refurbished one that was all scratched up. If you're looking to buy, I'd recommend saving your time and buy here!

    Know before you buy
    Don't recommend for 2/3year old. Only good for playing games. You have to purchase almost every game. It advertises that you can download apps from the store but that does NOT include video apps like YouTube, Netflix or so on. Also, do not purchase it on the mobile app. If something happens they won't let you return it in store.

    Don't waste your money.
    Loved the concept of this, however within 3 months of purchasing with normal, non-excessive, gentle and supervised use, the Leapfrog started not holding a charge and we can unplug it and watch the battery percentage drop completely to zero within minutes. For such a cheaply made device, freezing pretty often and generally being slow is expected, but you would think it would at least hold a charge. Don't waste your money.

    These are really great they occupied my kid and they learned a ton. Unfortunately the charge ports weren't made for toddlers and didn't withstand 2 months of use. There is also no way to replace the chargeport because they are soldiered to the board. So unless your child is old enough to plug them in themselves, or you can watch them while they are being charged don't waste your money.

    Don't buy leap pad academy
    This tablet hasn't worked since day 1 it's froze and won't do a factory reset and I messaged leapfrog themselves and they told me to take back to place of purchase for return and Walmart would not return. My kid couldn't even use it.

    DISAPPOINTED
    Do not buy. I wish 0 stars was an option. I purchased this “new” and it already has a child's account set up with a parent code so I cannot access ANYTHING on the tablet. It was obviously returned and resold as new, but without the original owners information, the thing is useless. What a waste of money.

    Really nice device, but really disappointing that you need to buy so many apps. When I was reading about leap frog academy one of the basic games was mathematics although our leap frog didn't have it. Our little loves it

    Reading is fundamental
    Great item, I have a six year old grandson who asked his father to teach him to read. So I researched and found this item and its his favorite past time with reading, math and other learning materials, I have never seen it in person. I had it shipped directly to my grandson, because he always asking where's his mail. Great teaching tool.

    Great Toddler Friendly Tablet
    My daughter has had her tablet for 2 yrs and I love it so much that I bought my son one on his birthday this year. I love the parent passcodes that can be set to monitor what websites they can look at. It is also way more educational games and activities than I thought it would be which I make them do before allowing them to watch YouTube. They give 3 months free before the subscription fee starts but it is only like maybe $6.99 a month, not enough to miss out your account.

    My Toddlers Love It!
    My two youngest LOVE their LeapPads! It's nice to buy the apps ONCE and be able to download the games onto BOTH their devices! The creative apps make learning fundamentals fun and relatively effortless for my toddlers, which, in turn, helps me to focus on homeschooling my oldest! :-)

    Hmm...its ok but not great.
    If you only care about the Leappad games then this is a perfect option. I read this was an android based tablet and thought it would include the Google Play App store. I was wrong. This tablet is so locked down. It took me 4 hours to get Netflix installed and running (and I am pretty tech savvy!) I still cannot find a way to run Youtube kids. so far, my niece (who is 3) is not very interested in the games at all. She would rather play the learning games I previously downloaded for free on my Android tablet. She does like the camera, drawing and sticker options a lot. Because of this I will be keeping the tablet and hope as she grows, she will become more interested in the games. I will need to purchase another tablet to take with us on trips though.

    Love it.
    3 year old loves it. If you connect it to the internet you can watch a few disney movie youtube music videos that come pre loaded. Good alternative if you dont really let your child play with ipad, phones, etc.

    Great tablet
    My grandson really likes it! Because it has an Android OS you can install other apps from Amazon store and Google Store, he plays his leap frog games and is also able to login to his YouTube account to watch his kid videos.

    Buyer Beware
    The tablet it's ok for younger kids to start out. It does not offer many preloaded games. Most of the content includes demos for games you have to buy. The tablet cost $120 and requires a subscription to Leap Pad Academy or purchase of apps that could cost up to $20! I was under the impression I could download off of the Google Play app, not the case. I regret purchasing this tablet. I purchased two for my kids for Christmas. I wish I would have gone with the other tablet I was looking at! ugh.

    Always had problems with this tablet since we got it. The charger broke very soon after getting it, AND it freezes up a lot and wont load. I love the leapfrog academy idea and concept but this tablet does not deliver. Always have to restart it to make it load

    This was a great alternative to the iPad. My 6yr old loves the educational games and the camera features. The durability of the product is just what we were looking for in an age appropriate device. The comfort that we have when she is on the device is priceless! We know she is spending time learning while having fun with material that is age appropriate, minus the worry of clicking on a video or gaming app that is not suited for her to watch. Thank you for maintaining the integrity and innocence of a child's learning experience with technology.

    Their "shatterproof screen" cracked within a week and the touchscreen no longer works. The case does not protect well and is a joke as to how easy it comes off. Leapfrog used to mean quality, now cheap and more expensive.
