Charging port

JaxxJaxx . 1 year ago

Yup the reviews are true the charging port it flimsy! They charged me $100 to fix it because it had to be soldered! The cámara quality sucks but my daughter had cute pics I needed to save that’s why I fixed it! It’s not the worse tablet it has high resolution for videos etc. and mine does stay charged for a long time

Not enough memory

Meggzie l . 1 year ago

So many apps I can’t remove my son can only have about 8 apps because you can’t remove so many apps that he can’t even use.

Ash17 . 1 year ago

Broken chsrger

Maddad . 1 year ago

It lasted a while but charger port is not working very well due to using while charging. Battery dies quick and it's not a good kids tablet

TCL/Alcatel Mobile - 1 year ago

Sorry to hear that. Please reach out to the support team for warranty repair or replacement. There is a one-year manufacturer warranty. Hope this helps. - Kevin.

Charging port broke on BOTH that I ordered

BrookeS . 2 years ago

I ordered 2 of these for my girls and the charging port broke on 1 of them shortly after, and the other broke just recently. I wish I had listened to the reviews on this but I just prayed ours would've been fine. Wrong. LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS. Contacted Verizon and they said they had no one who could repair this specific tablet. Contacted all our local tech repair places and neither could they. So we were left with 2 unusable tablets. It's very frustrating.

Verizon needs to offer better children's tablet

Coffeenutjames . 2 years ago

This tablet is perhaps the worse tablet I have seen. The case became loose and worthless after 6 months. The battery dies incredibly fast and takes forever to charge. The picture is not worth much. I have owned countless tablets but only got this one for my child. Verizon... step up and bring in a better quality children's tablet.

Avoid TCL

Drea . 2 years ago

I've already had to replace the tablet 3 times. All because of the charging port is bad. I am almost done having paid off and we are going to get it traded in. I'm sticking with Samsung.

TCL Expert - 2 years ago

We're sorry about the incidence. If you are in need of any assistance to repair the tablet, please feel free to contact TCL Mobile Support at: 1-855-224-4228 during business hours. Best regards, Kevin.

Happy grandbaby is happy nanna!!!

Lisa . 2 years ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

My grandson that is 1.5 uears old absolutely loves his tablet. Daughter in law said it was easy to setup. Will definitely purchases another one for my other grandson.

Works good but the cover and screen are crap

Chooch . 2 years ago

Supposed to be for when your kids throw it. It's supposed to keep it safe. The screen has cracked twice and now 3 times and I have to replace it again. I just brought it another time. Worst product ever
