Bad product, very bad
This is the worst tablet, It never worked right, I have good wifi but this tablet will not work, it is so slow trying to work, I couldn't post my review before now because of my mobility to get to the computer but I would advise others not to buy this one. I bought this same one before and the same thing happen. I though maybe it got broken in the delivery but to get two that do the same thing. no way, it is a bad brand and something need to be done to correct this problem. I don't have money to waste, I advise anyone that is looking foe a tablet not to buy this one

    It was not what I expected from a gateway product. computers have always been 5 stars. I thought the tablet would be too. Very disappointed.

    Tablets run super slow, Maybe ok for kids. Maybe
    Tablets are slow, Ok for kids maybe. They run so very slow. They don't run several apps. You can down load but once you open them the tablets shut down. Takes for ever to load back up to even use or try another app. My kids will watch kids Youtube on them but only last about 30 minutes at most before they die. We order 6 of them and all are the same. But for $40 bucks i guess they will do. Can't use them for what i wanted. Program don't work.

    Multifunctional
    Its very small. Has the feel of a VERY large phone. But has a good operating system and supported all of the ridiculous apps my 9 year old feels he had to have, which I why I needed a new tablet to begin with. It also supports my games and my work from home platforms.

    Didn't last a year
    Each of my 3 kids got one of these for Christmas and within 4 months one quit charging. No matter what we did we couldn't get it to charge. Then by 7 months the second one quit charging. We tried several different chargers. They also will not charge using the car chargers.

    GATEWAY 8" TABLET WILL NOT CHARGE AT ALL
    My Gateway 8" Tablet will not charge. It has had 1 full charged from the initial charged on the 1st day of purchase and has not charged since. It will not even come on. This is so Horrible for Gateway product. I have contact Gateway Support but no response yet.

    Poorly made.
    The Onn brand 8" tablet is superior ..as are the samsung tablets and the Amazon fires.... I'd say the gateway is a tier above a cheap Chinese knockoff. That's unfortunate because I used to love gateway. Cheaply made. Substandard operation. Wouldn't buy again.

    Gateway let down on product quality
    Worked great for a couple of days. Put same apps on it that I had already been using for a long time on another device so I knew there were no malicious viruses. On the 3rd day of use the screen became unresponsive. I called Gateway, they tried helping me reset the tablet but to no avail. They told be to return to product to Wal-Mart and that if they don't help me, then to call Gateway back and they will see what they can do. When I purchased this the product review was over 4 stars. I see now that has dropped below 4. Very disappointed in Gateway. I choose this product because of who it was.

    definitely good for the price
    I have seen so many complaints regarding this tablet and issues that have come with it inherently. yes I will admit the standard launcher system for this device is glitchy and does freeze. however I did find a little workaround. as I said one of the problems with this device is the launcher that comes system standard. if you download a program on the Google play market called Nova launcher then set that as you were default launcher program everything starts running flawlessly! now only time will tell on how long this lasts. we shall see what we shall see LOL

    Don't buy!
    Constant problems. Apps would not work consistently. Rotating messed up all the time on Hulu. Constantly would say Wi-Fi had no internet access, turn off WiFi and back on and would have internet for a while then it would say no internet? Would not run live wall paper! I returned this thing after only a few days! Cheap... LITERALLY!

    Tablet has Quality Control Issues But Peforms Ok
    The unit I received has a stuck pixel close to the bottom of the screen meaning there's an annoying dot that's always brightly glowing the wrong color. This is the reason why I can't give full marks for the tablet. Aside from that, the tablet performs decently and as expected for tablets at this price range. It's not a Samsung or a Lenovo tablet so don't expect it to be as snappy as those. Walmart's own Onn brand tablets perform as well or better than this tablet at the price point. The Gateway branding is the only reason I bought this, but it's not because Gateway is great tablet brand. It was more nostalgia based. In this case, the Gateway branding is just slapped on an fairly generic Android tablet that really has nothing new or unique to offer.
