Is the battery life good? What about viewing angles, and how do you download google play onto it?

Hi Cynthia, We have purchased two of these tablets. We had bought them mostly for emails. But my daughters had other ideas and use it for playing games and watching Netflix. Google Play is already on the tablet and you can just click on the app., set up an account, and it can be utilized to download other tablet apps. (Like the Netflix) The screen set on "Bright" can still be seen at an angle from either side. We have a computer screen that from the side "appears to disappear"--This does not do that. The screen is also sufficiently viewable on lower light settings which save battery power. We had some issues with battery drain and the ValuePad customer service is very helpful with all questions. One of the batteries drained within two days in the OFF setting. We began turning off the internet on it and unplugging the keyboard (if you have one) when we powered down. The battery then stayed at 100 per cent losing power in increments over a two week time. Of course if you use it more frequently, you will be able to keep track of your battery power and plug it up at intervals to refresh it. We are not high tech users, but I would say this tablet is well worth the money and again, the ValuePad customer service is there to help you!

Yes Google play just upgraded and you get all the Play Store features. I have had the tablet for a while now and I still love it.

Hi, the Version I purchased from the Amazon-Seller had GooglePlay installed. It was installed (rooted etc.) by the seller!

Angie B. Honestly you'd be better off going to WalMart and buying the GooglePlay Tablet for $69.99 for a 7" screen or the 8" for $89.99 both come with a $7.00 replacement warranty!! I bought two of the Visual Land tablets in Dec 2012 and they were horrible!!

I have actually tested the battery life at maximum use. From fully charged, I had the screen at 100% brightness, and going online, I was watching videos. My battery lasted a little bit more than 4 1/2 hours before it went to 0%.

One thing I forgot is that the astroid market is pathetic. It only has about 9 apps last check and they aren't that good. I've tricked the Google play market into thinking that my device is a HTC 1X+ using market helper allowing me access to most of the apps on play market. That being said it's well worth the work and effort requires to unlock it.

after rooted, You can install Google Player to your ZEN.I have Google Maps and RMaps installed on my ZEN. Google Maps works perfectly. The GPS module might be slow, but within few minutes, it can find my location on the Maps. Google Navigation seems having some troubles, I haven't get chance to look into it.also installed few apps and games from Play Store, like Gmail, Play Book, Wikipedia, SuperSudoku.I love my ZEN. paid $80 for it, no regret.

No problems with my unit. I prefer the Android OS to Amazon for both online use and as a reader. Battery life not great. Overall, I'm satisfied, especially at this price point.

It did not come with Google Play. However, you can purchase and install the app. I haven't had any problems downloading and installing new apps. So far it is still running and performing great!

The Hisese 40-Inch just became available this week so I would be careful to judge a product before even using it. If you take a look at the +Google TV Friends page (https://plus.google.com/+Gtvfriends/posts) on Google+, they just picked one up and so far are loving it. I think for the price ($299) you can't beat it as you get a 40 inch TV that runs Android 4.2.2 with full access to the Play store! I will definitely be picking one up.

It's running android 4.04 and the screen is the big problem for me, not high resolution like the Google nexus 7 and 10 which are the ones I use the most. The screen looks grainy to me but I'm old with old eyes.

There is a good play store you can go into and download apps. There are tons of free apps in the google play sote.

The Google play version doesn't come with the LG features or UI. It comes with vanilla android. So basically it just looks different, but works pretty much the same.

It's pretty good if playing on it. If downloading apps not so good it drains the battery.

It came with an update that put Google play on it. Honestly, this was a great tablet that still worked nice when I got rid of it, but two years later there are better tablets with newer OS for the same price. Shop around before you decide.

No it is not an android tablet so it does not have google play. You can root it and go through a process of basically converting it to an android tablet. You can look on You Tube there are a bunch of how to videos. But it can mess up your Nook. Otherwise it is basically an ereader and you can acces the internet and it comes with some apps like pinterest.
