Nice tablet but if need apps from google play , I would not suggest it.
I expected from the information that it would have google play on it. But could not use it for that reason. Called manufacture and they tried to help but in the end it would not download the app. that I was buying it for.

Good performance so far but requires update for Google Play store. Customer service non-existent Buyer beware.
We purchased 3 of these for Christmas and while we had some issues right off the bat, they are currently working well and if they continue to hold up as they performed today (first full day of use) I will consider them an excellent buy in spite of the work I had to do to set them up.Pros:Speed: This tablet has an immediate response to touch, which seems to be rare in the world of cheap tablets. Apps play at normal speeds (important, especially for kids).Apps: The box says that the tablet has access to Google Play store which is vital. However, while this is eventually true, it requires a bit of work. I'll get to that in the Cons section. Once you do have your Google Play access, the sky is the limit with apps.Looks: Has the look of a nice tablet, not a toy. My kids were impressed,Camera: Does have a dual camera which does not seem to be the norm for tablets in this price range.Wireless: Easy set up, quick response.Cons:Customer Service: The first Con was that of the 3 tablets we bought, only 2 would even boot up. The third got to the first screen with the Polaroid logo and a spinning wheel and just stayed there. I left it running, thinking maybe it just needed extra time to boot and 4 hours later it was still stuck on that screen. The tablets came with a customer service number and a plea to not return them to the store but to call the number to resolve problems. I called the number and was on hold for 1 hour, having never talked to a human being in all that time, before I hung up. You are taking a risk buying the S7, as customer service appears to be non-existent.App Store/Google Play update: The tablet does not come with immediate access to Google Play as the wording on the box would have you believe, (table would be virtually worthless without this access). You don't know this until you open the box and are greeted by a flyer that informs you of this fact and gives a website where you download an update to your computer and then load it to your tablet. Sounds easy enough, right? The download was problematic, as it continued to give me a "drivers failed to load" warning. If you are not fairly savvy with computers and downloads, don't bother with this tablet. I was never able to get the update to load in the standard manner, but when it failed, the program prompted me with instructions to force an upload and this worked on the 2 tablets that were booting up properly. On the third tablet that wouldn't even boot, the update actually fixed the problem, (I had to force a full factory reset and update) and it booted and has worked well since.Cheap feel: I'm not sure how to explain this one other than that the buttons feel like they won't last a long time. The power button especially. I'll update this review as time passes, but the power button will be hit thousands of times on this thing, and it doesn't give me a lot of confidence that it'll hold up.Bottom line: Buyer beware! This thing is a great tablet when it's working, but it took some work to get to that point, and from other reviews it sounds like they are getting returned in droves. All 3 of mine got their first full day of heavy use by children, and survived. If they continue to function at the level they have so far, they will have been an excellent buy (we got them for $65/each). If you choose the S7, go into it knowing you have some footwork to do, and that you'll be doing it on your own.___________Update 9/5/14We've had the tablets for 9 months now and I'm able to give an update on performance. 2 of the three have worked pretty much flawlessly the entire 9 months. The third has had a great deal of trouble. It would work for several weeks and then couldn't boot up past the polaroid screen. When this happens, it required going to the website and essentially reinstalling the OS. Finally, a couple of weeks ago, it lost the ability to even charge and thus has become inoperable. I am not going to pursue replacing the battery. So, based on my small, statistically insignificant sample size, you have about a 66.66% chance of getting a trouble free tablet.

Hard to imagine a worse product. With only 2 apps loaded
Hard to imagine a worse product. With only 2 apps loaded, it never worked for more than 3 weeks without requiring a factory reset reload.Emails to the authorized service (Southern Telecom) were usually not answered or only an apology for the problems. The only solution provided was to reload the tablet from scratch, and that never lasted more than a few weeks.So this product is only a source of frustration, returns are not accepted after 30 days, and it can take more than 30 days to get any solution after reporting a problem.Shame on Amazon for selling it.
