" ... daughter loves all of the features and her number and letter recognition has really improved since she has been using the educational videos and games. ... "
" ... I purchased this for my friend's son as a birthday gift, and I was honestly surprised at the number of features this children's tablet had. ... His mom loves that he was being introduced to math and new vocab while having fun. ... The bumper, of course, is an absolute life saver - you know how children play. ... All in all, I'd absolutely recommend this product to anyone with young children. ... "

" ... MY boys love love love their leap pad Epic and I still have never loaded any new games , hours of entertainment and learning ... "
" ... He's way ahead of the curve when it comes to reading + math, and education in general (his favorite right now is the anatomy game, he can't stop talking about "red blood cells in your veins" etc.) ... "
" ... The apps and games from leap frog are very costly but it seems to work well for my child. ... "
" ... so many great educational games ... you can get games for decent prices if you wait for a sale on their website. ... "
" ... It comes with a few games and apps like Word of the Day and Calculator. ... Each game costs a pretty penny and there are no free games. ... Overall a good tablet with fun but expensive games. ... "
" ... daughter loves all of the features and her number and letter recognition has really improved since she has been using the educational videos and games. ... "
" ... There were all kinds of games, which he loves. ... "

" ... Only thing is you do have to keep buying new apps as they age, so remember to do that. ... Keeps them interested in it, and if you have more kids, all the apps are already on your account for the future . ... "
" ... It comes with a few games and apps like Word of the Day and Calculator. ... "
" ... Loved the apps and the option to add android apps like netflix. ... "
" ... However, I did find it a little difficult to navigate as far as finding good apps for my 3 year old, and knowing what all options are on the child only portion of the tablet. ... "
" ... The epic lets my son have access to outside apps right in his own profile. ... Leapfrog apps are the best for providing an educational experience! ... "
" ... My son and I love this tablet it has loads of apps. ... "
" ... Exceeded my expectations in available apps and ease of use. ... "
" ... My daughter has been able to side load many free apps from the android store such as PBS Kids, PBS Games, Nickelodeon games and apps, many from the Amazon app store and others we find as we go along. ... The pre-loaded apps are great for our girls ages, 2 /12 and almost 5. ... We would recommend not getting any more LeapFrog apps for it until your kids express a desire for "something else". ... "

" ... Googling shows that this is a common problem with not only this item but many of the LeapFrog tablets. ... "
" ... We have both been frustrated by the trouble with the DRM error. ... "
" ... "We would like to suggest also to try uninstalling first the downloaded Android apps from the unit under the App Manager and check if it helps in resolving the issue and let us know of the result after. ... Other apps downloaded from an external app store can also caused the freezing issue on the device." ... The leapfrog apps and software are very expensive. ... "
" ... It's not intuitive and really requires extra software programs and they aren't cheap! ... "
" ... Replaced with a locked-down chromebook. ... "
" ... That is true, but the downside is it does NOT get apps from the Google Play Store, but rather from Amazon Apps. ... "
" ... Also, this is NOT an Android tablet by any stretch of the imagination. ... "
" ... The user interface is way too confusing, even for adults. ... For what it's worth I have significant experience with Android and have done software development for 20+ years, and there's just kind of lack of overall cohesion I find very confusing and off-putting about this device. ... "
