We bought 2 of these for our kids over Xmas. They have been acting up and one no longer works (3 months after purchase). The other one works, but often glitches. Great concept but quality seems poor.

We bought this because our son doesn't have a cell. phone yet and you can't buy ipods anymore. it took a while to figure out how to get it setup. It does work now like an iPod so mission accomplished.

I wanted an "I pod" for my kids without the worry of app distractions. This fits the bill and he loves it.Bus, bikes, and car rides he can listen to his Spotify Premium (downloads your songs on wifi) and I don't have to worry he is buying V Bucks.

Good for my son who can listen to music only - no videos, no games. It has bluetooth and wifi and comes with both Spotify and Spotify kids. This comes with a bunch of other apps like chrome but you can delete them. There isn't a 'playstore' or anything to download any new apps once you delete them, you have to reset to get them back. So it is nice because my son can only listen to music on this.You can add a parent lock and a lock by timer if you choose. You do have to have an account to login to Spotify kids. Or you can download your own music on it as it has a music player by plugging into a computer. You can upload photos and videos if you want but it has no camera, just a gallery for photo uploads - We changed the background photo .Hope this helped. I looked around for a long time for something like this for my son. :)

Originally I gave two starts my prior review is below. Since then the company had reached out to me and offered a replacement. The new device is working as should and has yet to have any issues. The customer service was polite and fast at resolving the issue. Would recommend this company and encourage you to contact them with any issues.Prior review: I bought two of these blue mp3 players. They worked fine for two days then started to restart on their own, i have had to factory set twice, and had a corrupt system alert on both systems that needed to factory reset. Quality is poor. battery life is good, I don’t like that you can’t add youtube app to homepage. Sound is decent. Would not recommend

Not all the apps where where on it

Ich habe ja schon viele mp3-Player getestet aber das war einer der schlechtesten.Das Betriebssystem läuft instabil, Apps mischen sich plötzlich ungefragt in eine lfd. Anwendung ein und überlagern diese. Um an den vorherigen Ausgangspunkt zurückzukommen, ist z.B. ein Neustart der unterbrochenen App erforderlich..Zudem ist das Betriebssystem erschreckend träge - Apps oder Funktionen benötigen ihre Zeit bis zur Ausführung..Bluetooth-Verbindungen scheinen nur sehr widerwillig eingegangen zu werden. Ja, es geht aber bis empfangsbereite BT-Empfänger auf diesem Q8 angezeigt werden ist immer wieder ein nervendes Geduldsspiel..Die "HiBy"-App für die eigene (Ordner-basierte !!) mp3-Sammlung ließ sich über den Playstore von Google nicht installieren..Wie üblich verwundert es, wenn über 70% der Rezensenten hier 4-5 Sterne vergeben..Einräumen will ich aber zuguterletzt, dass ich solche Geräte nur auf ihre mp3-Tauglichkeit checke/bewerte. Die übrigen Apps oder Funktionen interessieren mich fast gar nicht.Ich halte mp3-Player auch heutzutage immer noch für extrem sinnvoll, da diese den Akku der heutigen medienvielfältigen Handys demnach nicht belasten. Ein stets geladenes Smartphone ist mir wichtig - Musik allerdings auch. Deswegen splitte ich meine Anforderungen auf zwei voneinander unabhängige Endgeräte auf..

Das gerät braucht fast 40 Sekunden um eine App zu starten. Die Verpackung kam dreckig an. Sieht nach einem überteuerten billigen Produkt aus. Habe versucht den Verkäufer zu kontaktieren, ob mein Produkt Fehlerhaft ist, der Meldet sich aber nicht zurück.

Exactly what I wanted - a simple player with SD card slot for extendable storage. I removed Chrome and other apps, really just use it for Spotify kids. Very easy for them to use and for me to be confident they're not seeing stuff they shouldn't. Very small for Kindle, perfect for just audio. Great value.

This is a fantastic little mp3 player! I’m impressed. Firstly it comes with a screen protector on it which is great! It also comes with an SD card and headphones. I love that Spotify is already on the device and I just needed to sign in. We bought this for our young child with autism so he can listen to music at school and it’s perfect.

This is a decent portable multiple player with wireless connectivity (BT 4.2 and Wi-Fi) and capable of a variety of other tasks via the pre-installed Apps (installation of additional Apps is NOT supported although some apps can be uninstalled). The performance is decent and the screen is easy to read and the touch screen is just fine without issues either. However, it's really not the most cost efficient device at this point in time.≡ Physical buildThe physical build quality is pretty decent. In fact, it's slightly better than expected with some sort of robust plastic frame and the entire device is somewhat hefty that's indicative of a quality product (well, or at least not a cheap plastic one). It's by no means amazing but it certainly is better than most other music player that I've come across in the last several years. However, the buttons on this particular player seem to be of slightly lower quality than a few others with very similar (if not nearly identical) design and style.≡ ScreenThe screen itself is decent; it's not IPS (at least it doesn't appear to be) or Gorilla glass but it does the job just fine as a 4" screen. The touch function also works reasonably well without issues. There are 2 soft buttons, home and back along with 2 physical buttons for volume and power. Unfortunately, the screen isn't as bright as I want it to be and even at the max brightness it seems a bit dim in comparison.≡ AppsIt comes with about 2 dozen apps; most of 'em are popular ones and well known while a couple others are, well, made in China I supposed. The primary media player is called Videos and it's actually MX Player; however, I can't tell if it's the real/official one from Google Store of it's something that's been compiled by god knows who. Anywhere, it has quite a few streaming apps as well as e-book and other media player that's more than enough for most consumers. Interestingly, you can NOT install any App on this and you are forced to use whatever they have provided and pre-installed. You can however disable/remove ones you don't want. The inability to install Apps is major drawback in my eyes because I'll be forced to use whatever they provide and I'm not a big fan of that.≡ Note: it comes with custom built Android 9 with an unknown security patch level.≡ PerformanceMultimedia playback in generally is just fine without issues. I have no idea what CPU/GPU it uses but there isn't much else either because again, you are limited to the Apps pre-installed. It does support both BT 4.2 and Wi-Fi so that's fairly decent. A variety of streaming audio/video Apps are preinstalled as well and they should be for the most part adequate for most people out there.It comes with 2G RAM and 16G storage with 32% storage used (68%, 10.88GB left) upon arrival so you aren't left with a lot to work with; however, it does come with a 64 GB Micro SD card and it can be extend the system storage to up to 80 GB, which is what this product is being advertised as. It supports a max of 1TB Micro SD card although that's not tested. I should also mention that it does NOT have the ability to rotate the screen (auto or otherwise) which is really is huge oversight at this point in time.✘ Strangely, it draws power (during charging) in an erratic manner so I'm not sure what's up with that. I hope it's not gonna explode.≡ ValueAll things considered, this is a reasonably decent multimedia player with decent hardware and software. Though, the inability to install Apps and the relatively dim screen are certainly a disappointment for me. With that being said, the physical build quality is pretty decent and the overall usability is reasonably good while and functionality of the player as a whole isn't bad at all either.The elephant in the room is of course the price and its cost efficiency; you can get a cheap cell phone for $100-$150 that offers exactly what this offers and MORE. You certainly do NOT need to use the cell phone as an 'ordinary' phone but only as multimedia player like this (i.e.NO SIM card or cellular plans). So which one would you choose? Well, that's for you to decide. It's somewhat reasonably priced at $76 for what it provides and its overall build quality, features, usability, and versatility, and performance. Your mileage might vary.
