the functionality is OK. i find the battery life to be very short and it needs to be recharged often. That's a non-starter for me

I wouldn't pay more than $40 for this to be honest, but otherwise it's not bad.

What really holds this back is its battery life. It drains as fast as a laptop. What's worse, is that it also drains fast when idle with the screen off. (EDIT: see below to improve idle battery life)

My other issue is that a lot of apps I wanted to use are not compatible. I wanted to use this as a remote for use at home for my smart/wireless devices such as Belkin Wemo, SmartThings, TCP Connected lights. Of those 3, the only apps that are compatible are the TCP Connected lights. Also Google Keep is not compatible.

This does work well with plex, however. I bought the plex app for 99 amazon coins and stream from a friends' plex server. I'm happy enough with the display and resolution. It works well as a plex remote as well with my chromecast plugged into my TV. For this use alone I really get a lot out of this cheap tablet.

I've been using this for a while, and the viewing angles are bad/weird. Even looking at it straight on is not the most optimal angle. I have to tilt mine up toward the ceiling about 5-10 degrees regardless of lightsource. I rooted it very easily - do a google search for "a727 root" and instructions are on xda forum as well as a zepinventory blog.

Also, once rooted you can find an app to manage the CPU better. I installed SetCPU for example, and it really improved my battery life by underclocking the processor when my tablet is idle with the screen off.

Update: I now have two of these.
- many apps that google play store deem as incompatible actually work - you need to manually install the .apk (download .apk from google search/4shared, OR use an apk extractor app to rip from another device); there were a few that I was able to install and did not work fully, however.
- after getting more tablets, I've realized that the battery drain can be much better. (after 8 days still at 100% battery without any activity). I believe the major culprit on the battery drain is Google Services. Tested on 2 out of the 3 devices, and when I froze Google Services, my battery drain stopped. Re-activating makes it keep ticking down... I know a few other people with this tablet so I'm going to see if it's the same for them (as an update, our battery life is much better with google services disabled - X hours becomes X DAYS).

Headphones are OK considering the price. The fit comfortably around the ears and the sound quality is decent but the battery life is not great. I get maybe 2 hours tops of talk time even after charging overnight. I probably wouldn't repurchase as I need something that lasts a lot longer than 2 hours.

Basic functions are fine: the earpiece works with my phone, I can hear calls okay, people can hear me. Battery life seems good.
But... The earpiece is not comfortable after about 15 minutes, and the over-ear piece is flimsy and of limited use. Without that, that earpiece doesn't seat well, and often comes loose, and falls out of my ear. The slick surface looks neato modern, but doesn't lead my fingers to the buttons like a duller surface would.
It's not a high-end headset, but it does get the job done, and it's reasonably priced.

It's ok. The pixels are not the best but it does the trick. One camera will go out for a while then will come on.

Battery life is just ok, not as good as the OEM Samsung battery

The features are nice and works mostly.  It tends to loose signal and not function when I need it to.  Leads to a few frustrating moments a day, and the battery life is terrible.  It has to be recharged at least every week.  Other comparable mice I've used only had to be charged once a month or once every other month..

This was purchased as a gift for my wife, who is a workout fanatic.  After reviewing several devices, this seemed to balance functionality with price.

The good:
It's easy enough to set up, and the band itself is comfortable.  It also does seem to accurately track activity.

The bad:
The monitoring app and software for PC/Mac leaves a lot to be desired.  Syncing can be finicky, and the software runs as a service on the machine (and in the taskbar).

The really bad:
Battery life.  I'd expected 5-7 days of use before recharging, but it's generally half of that.  Add to that the limited memory (if you're not syncing regularly), and it's a fairly high maintenance device.

At the end of the day, I have to believe there are better devices out there.  I've since read that a few of these had less than stellar battery performance, and it's possible that this was one of them.  If the battery issue was resolved, this is easily a four star, without the fix though I'd advise caution.

It's OK if you want a couple of extra hours of battery life on the go. For most people it probably makes sense to buy a larger battery pack. It's just too small to be of any practical use.

This product is just barely ok.  But for 6.99, can't really complain.  Kind of feels cheap in the hand but it does work.  So function is there and that is most important.  If you are looking for a cheap, blue-tooth selfie remote that works, this is your product.

It does okay.  Got a 5" storm today and it did alright.  The battery life is not what is advertised.  I got about 20 minutes, popped the battery in the charger, and when the second battery died the first one wasn't charged.  I think the battery recharge is more like 40 minutes and not 30.  Other than the longer than expected charge time and shorter battery life, this unit did okay.  It was pretty light weight and easy enough to use.  For the price I might have just went with a gas model, but I guess for battery powered this is ok.

Works ok - some interference.  Battery life could be better

Range isn't quite what I'd hoped and the battery life isn't quite good enough to use as a travel baby monitor.  Still, it's useful and they are nice to have.  Perhaps I will just have to spring for the license so that I can use the higher power modes.

This is a functional addition to my camera; however the battery drain is a real problem. Since I purchased this the batteries drain non-stop. Every time I get my camera out I need to put 6 new batteries in it. Smart money would have been to stop using it, but again, the function is great. The battery life is poor. I know remove the batteries every time(when I remember) that I use it.

Battery life isn't the greatest. Name is Customer Service. But the unit is actually pretty cool.

Pros:
-The price
-It's functional

Cons:
-Batteries only lasts about 2-3 weeks
-Grip molding on the sides gets filled with grime easily
-Buttons start to stick after a few months of heavy use

I have used this for 5 months now and I think it is just about an OK product. I think there are many other products available at much cheaper prices for the same functionalities.
1) The connectivity range is fine but its a hassle It connects to the phone when you are in the car and has no issues. The issue however is with the hassles to get it connected. You have to switch the bluetooth device on (a long press and hold to switch it on), and in most cases it will not pair with your phone. You will have to go into your phone  settings - bluetooth and manually connect to g-cord device.
2) While the audio is good, this device is not handy, if you intend to take phone calls. The mic is very weak and does a very shabby job. The person on the other side can hardly hear you. If you receive a call when connected to the g-cord Bluetooth device  it does not automatically play the audio from the car speakers  rather it open up an option on the phone to chose the mode of connection (g-Cord, Iphone etc)
