Disappointed and frustrated

The instruction booklet appears to have been done by a mechanical translator. Nothing made sense, making the tricks difficult to impossible to do, for both my granddaughter and myself, and the materials were cheap. I don't recommend it.

I recently received this phone and I thought everything was going well until today. I went to the beach and took some pictures of my family at the sea. I didn't place the phone in the water, maybe got a few sprinkles from the splashes of water. However, when I got home the phone stopped working and would not respond when I opened the phone there are some sprinkles of water inside, I cleaned out the phone and it is stated it is overheating and stops working altogether. I have to return this phone now.

I am very disappointed and upset, This is supposed to be waterproof. I feel like crying.

This is a big disappointment.  The sync doesn't work, the "push cover and move titles" doesn't work, and it is hard to read on.  It is also littered with programs I don't want such as goodreads, USA Today, games, etc. that evidently cannot be removed.  When I tried to move a book, the finger press didn't work but it was going to let me buy it  again.  Really?  I wanted an updated reader, not a toy.  It is back in the mail tomorrow.

I really wanted to like this HRM.  I have used a chest-strap monitor for the past 10 years (different brands-polar is a fav) and I hoped that this non-strapped HRM would be comparable....it wasn't.  In fact, it was so frustrating to use, I threw it in a bag, closed it and won't even use it as a watch.
First of all, I wanted to use this as a HRM and calorie calculator as I do my other monitor.  On the outside of the package it expressly states "for walking and jogging only."  Why? You wonder?? So did I.
Anyway, I went through the long, drawn out process of inputting my personal information AND counting my walking AND jogging strides just so I could give it a fair review.  I used this three very frustrating days in a row and never got it to work more than five minutes straight!!
First of all, I spent two minutes of my precious morning workout time "adjusting the fit" of the monitor.  Each and every workout was preceded by pushing the start button, waiting 10 seconds then bring told to "adjust."  I cannot believe this monitor needs such perfection just to function properly.
When I finally got the go ahead light, my heart rate on the monitor started a bit like normal, started going very high after two minutes of walking, shot up to 236 and never came back down!!  Three days in a row it did this .  The most frustrating piece of exercise equipment I've ever had the displeasure to use.
Cannot recommend!

I received this yesterday and was so excited because of the reviews that I read.  After plugging it in to charge for hours, it still will not charge.  What an incredible disappointment.  There are no trouble shooting instructions, no way to make it work, and now I have to go through the hassle of returning and shopping again to try and get what I need.  What a pain.

My 6 year old and 8 year old wanted this for Christmas, and we caved and got it.  We figured it would be a great way to help the kids pass time in the car when we are driving.  The theory behind it is wonderful, but there are too many issues to ever recommend the Didj to anyone.

We purchased one Didj and immediately had difficulty creating the "footprint" on the computer.  We would make it but every time we had to reconnect the Didj for any reason, the footprints were erased and we had to do it again.  To make it worse, every single time we change the batteries (which is at least once a week) the toy is inoperable until you reconnect it to the computer and update it.  You can imagine our frustration as we load the car for a weekend trip and are ready to leave, and the kids just put fresh batteries in the Didj.  We would be pulling out when one would say, "Mom, the Didj needs updated again."  We'd put the car in reverse and everyone would wait in the car while I fought the Didj and the poor software to update the unit.  Twenty minutes later we'd be on our way again, but this happened at least once a week and resulted in extreme frustration for my husband and myself.  At times one boy would be playing and for no apparent reason it would need an update and shut down.

After three weeks the volume quit on our Didj.  Customer support was helpful but actually expected me to pay the return shipping so they could ship me a new one.  I told them I refused to pay the return shipping, so they let us keep the old "no-sound" one and shipped out a new one.  Low and behold it has sound but has the same software/update issues as the first one.  We weren't shocked but were hoping we had gotten a bad one to start with.

The Didj is such a great concept but if you are looking for an alternative to regular video games that are also educational, keep looking.  The games are pretty costly for what they do, and half the time the skills don't match with what you input on the computer so your child is asking you for help.  Imagine three hours of, "Mom, what's 11 x 4..."

If LeapFrog ever works the kinks out of this game, I will recommend it.  For now, well...give the kids a white board and some erasable markers.

Based on my experience with the Samsung Galaxy S3, I was very excited about this Galaxy Tab. Unfortunately, it turned out to be quite a disappointment. Here are my main issues:

(1) Problems with the charger input. It started off charging fine, but I had problems connecting it to any computers, making file transfers complicated. Eventually I had problems charging it from an outlet too--I'd have to prop up the charger in the tablet for it to work--until finally it stopped working all together. I spent about $60 getting a new charging piece put into the Tab, and even with that I still have issues connecting to my laptop.

(2) Problems with Dropbox. The Tab 3 was advertised as coming with 50gb of free Dropbox space, but I never got that. What's even worse though, is that when I connected my Dropbox account the tablet somehow started replicating ALL of my files, to the point where I had to go through every single folder and delete as many as 30 duplicates per file I had in there. I keep almost all of my documents in Dropbox, so that was a huge inconvenience for me. Plus, all of those duplicated files made me exceed the space limit I already had.

The tablet has a nice screen and is fun to play around with, but for a brand new Tab 3 I was frustrated by the lag; it's quite slow. Also, it has randomly restarted quite a few times. Overall, a cause of frustration and a huge disappointment.

So disappointed and frustrated. I bought two and both had the same problem:  The hinges are so weakly made, they are unable to tolerate the weight of the mirror door.

Purchase #1: My husband kept telling me they weren't going to hold based on the way the hinges looked. It looked like it might have been used (i.e., put together, then taken apart and returned, then shipped out again). I insisted it would be fine, even if it was used. A week later, the door fell off as my husband was opening it. Thankfully he caught it before we had broken glass everywhere. These had such great reviews, I was sure it was an anomaly.

Purchase #2: The exact same thing happened.

This looks beautiful. It seems well made. But the most critical pieces are not.

When I open this package, I was sooo angry. The whole book is damaged by sinking in water. I bought the new product but what I got is a awful product. Very disappointed and angry

This is my first time reviewing a product I have purchased in Amazon (I have been a customer for roughly 5 years). The reason I am doing this review is because I feel frustrated that after spending so many hours looking for the laptop that better suits my needs I ended up with a product that does not work properly.

Ever since I bought this laptop I haven't been able to use the web cam. Every time I open any program that uses the camera, such as lifeframe, a message pops up  "THE CAMERA IS USED BY ANOTHER PROGRAM" and nothing else happens (the camera does not show anything on the screen). In addition, the camera does not appear on the device manager. I have tried to use the camera with Skype and it did not work either. Bear in mind that apparently this is a common problem on Asus laptops (if you do not trust me google it)

I have talked three (3) times with the technical support call center and they instructed me to do the following: 1) Full restoration of the system; 2) Reinstallation of the camera drivers. Nothing worked!

I have always been a regular customer of Dell products. This time I decided to give Asus a try only to end up frustrated with the product. Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed with the Asus brand.

Last but not least, (and I challenge anyone to contradict me on this) the keyboard and specially the numeric pad feels cheap like it is going to break whenever you press a key.

To sum up, think twice before buying this notebook!

Review update June 18, 2012

Thanks to the invaluable recommendation that another Amazon customer (D. Marshall) provided me after seeing this post, I managed to fix the problem I had with the webcam. I changed my rating on this laptop but I still not going to give it the five stars just because of the fact that Asus support call center didn't have a clue on how to fix this issue (in fact, the last solution they come up with was for me to send the notebook back while its still on warranty).

I loved my Kindle when I got it. It seemed that I took more time to myself to read. After awhile I noticed that I had a crack in it. I also noticed that the crack with due to the cover that amazon recommends for it. I called and was told I could get a replacement. I was excited until I found out it was a refurbished model. I don't care why its called a refurbished. I bought a brand new one the first time and I expect if I have trouble with it then I should get a new one. I also asked if I could just have a refund but they won't let me. I am so disappointed and I will never use Amazon ever again.
 If you do research about the Kindle you will see all the complaints and that they have a class action lawsuit against them. I hope and pray that the guy wins so then all the people that are upset, about their Kindles will get some or if not all of their money back.

I anticipated this game coming out for months.  I was truly anticipating a great game after playing the demo.  However, it didn't take long for glitches and loops started to cause problems.  I used Gameboomers.com for help and got some.  I had to use so many game saves that I lost most of the story and the game.  I even had to use a save for the ending.  Even the three walkthroughs didn't help.  Plus, I have to report that I got no help from technical support from the games creators.  Amazon doesn't refund on games, even if they are defective so I am out $30.00.  What a disappointment!!!

First off, I would like to express my frustration with this device. I don't normally do reviews unless it is a product that I really really like or really really hate. This is one that I really really hate. I bought a white one a couple weeks ago. Initially, it was working fine and I loved it. After 2 days, one of the port died. I tried unplugging it, switching outlet, switching cables, but it didn't work. Because of the vast amount of positive reviews, I decided to exchange it. Second one came and it worked right out of the box. After a couple days I noticed that 1 out of the 5 port keeps dying randomly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it dies. It was very frustrating because I would plug in my phone and later find it to be not charged. Again, VERY FRUSTRATING. This replacement unit was plugged into a surge protector. I discovered that if i plug it directly to the wall then it stays working. I wasn't too happy because I have limited wall plugs and that is why I have a surge protector to add more plugs. I decided to keep it anyway because I didn't want to deal with the hassle of returning or exchanging again. I don't usually move the charge so staying at one spot, plugged into the wall was alright with me.

A week or so later, I saw on Slickdeals that this charger (black one instead) was on sale for only $20. My boyfriend had been bugging me about wanting the same charger for his work place and one for his room. I decided to take the chance and buy two for him. Also bought some micro usb cables [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KDOUH0G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]. The cables are good by the way. After both units arrived, I quickly tested it out to see if it was facing the same issue as my white charger. Both chargers worked well. I wanted to test and see of any of the ports would die. I did this by occupying all ports (all 5 of them). I was charging an ipad mini retina, bluetooth headphone, bluetooth earpiece, bluetooth speaker, and my galaxy note, each with its provided usb cables. I tested the the first, plugged all my devices in and waited for it to charge. Initially it was charging all 5 devices. After an hour, I came back to find that the ipad mini stopped charging. I tried replugging it but the port would not work (Port closest to the symbol).

I tested the next one with the same method and it was giving me the same issue, but this time, 2 ports stopped working. At this point, I wanted to pull my hair out. It charges and then after one or two hour, two ports stopped working (Port closest to the symbol and the port next to that one). I unplugged it and replugged it, same issue. Tried everything I can and still facing issue.

I am all out of ideas. I have concluded that this product is unreliable. It's either I  have very bad luck or there are issues with this product. Judging from the other negative reviews, maybe it's not my luck. I do not recommend this product because of the reliability issue. My boyfriend will be disappointed. I think at this point I would rather just tossed both in the trash and be done with it.

I'm looking at this charger at the moment and it seem to have good reviews. Maybe I it's worth it to spend a few extra dollars and get something that is reliable - something that works everytime. Both items are going back to amazon as soon as I am calm from this frustration and find the time to repackage everything. What a hassle. Potential buyers, be warned!

I own Brain Age, Big Brain, and PicrossDS......All are great and easy to learn.  So I was very excited to order My Weight Loss Coach.  It has been very frustrating.  Very very poor support.  Wrote to the support team and they sent me to other sites that had nothing on them about My Weight Loss Coach.  Also, couldn't register because it didn't have this game listed.
The game itself has a great concept and I think could be fun, if it wasn't soooo frustrating.  Can't go back....  difficulty trying to hook up the pedometer......Have spent 4 hours trying to get it to work and still can't get the pedometer to register the steps in the game.  I think it could be a great game if it had a better manual and support.  I finally gave up on support and will see if my grandkids can help....LOL

Within the first week of use, already have larfe area of droplets forming in back wall of lower level. I have bought the 3 year warranty-Assurant but they are telling me I must go through manufacturer first about the issue. Manufacturer is no help. I should of listened to the reviews on this frig, that were seeing the same issue. Disappointed and frustrated.
