And when I first installed it and started playing, the opening birthday scene was not eye-catching enough to change my mind. However, it did end up being a pretty cute game (after the first world, at least). I'm honestly surprised as to how addicting this game actually is.<br/><br /><br/><br />The gameplay itself is pretty good. You're basically going through an obstacle course, collecting ammo, blowing up skeletons and lamps, avoiding the light, killing other bats with light, and clearing pathways. All of the gameplay is physics-based, so aiming your ammo just right can get tricky. Each time you aim, your previous attempt is also shown as a guide. Your ultimate goal is to reach the lady at the end of the level and watch the little vampire enjoy his meal (or some other comical scene, depending on the level).<br/><br /><br/><br />After you clear each level, you are given a certain number of points based on how many times you either missed a shot with a bomb or stone or how many times you died in the level. You are also given coins, which you can use to buy emergency ammo rations and solutions that you can use when you get stuck. Lastly, you're given a certain number of skullheads proportional to your score. You can earn up to three of these per level. As far as I can tell, they are used to unlock things from the last screen of the menu. What those things are, I do not know yet.<br/><br /><br/><br />So, here's the breakdown:<br/><br /><br/><br />Pros:<br/><br />- Great physics-based gameplay<br/><br />- Tutorials placed where needed<br/><br />- User-friendly menus - options for toggling music, viewing achievements, et cetera<br/><br />- Decent storyline (weird and cheesy in my opinion, but decent)<br/><br />- Challenging - not just easy throughout, really makes you think in some situations<br/><br />- Good graphics and music<br/><br />- No bad permissions or IAP<br/><br /><br/><br />Cons:<br/><br />- Can get repetitive and boring pretty fast<br/><br />- Controls aren't all that great, especially when aiming<br/><br /><br/><br />All in all, I think this is a pretty appropriate app for the Halloween season. It might not be a keeper, but it'll kill some time and might even make you laugh. Get it now while it's free.<br/><br /><br/><br />- Sam</div>

Although this app does track all the nutrient information, it does so on a separate report so you only have to see it if you choose to do so. The primary screen just dhows your total carbs, fiber, and net carbs. As an added bonus, it gives you the option of setting target ranges of carbs for the whole day and for each meal. The food library is as extensive as any I've ever seen with generic and brand name entries, and adding my own custom food items is a snap. Highly recommended!</div>

This review is not incentivized by Samsung in any way. I purchased the product for my own use.<br/><br /><br/><br />What is it?<br/><br /><br/><br />The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is the aforementioned company’s latest foray into the midrange tablet market. With these tablets you’re not likely to find a “retina display” or anything over 720p resolution, but they’re more reasonably priced, and therefore, more likely to be adopted by more people.<br/><br /><br/><br />Specifications<br/><br /><br/><br />Processor: 1.2 GHz Quad Core<br/><br />Memory: 1.5GB<br/><br />Storage: 16GB with additional microSD slot<br/><br />Display: 1280×800<br/><br />Operating System: Android Kit Kat 4.4 with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI<br/><br />As you can see, those specs really aren’t too shabby, but they’re definitely not bleeding edge technology. However, having the latest and greatest isn’t always the best. For example, I recently purchased the higher end Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 and was utterly disappointed in it. Yes, the screen was beautiful but you could tell that not a lot of games had been properly coded for that resolution as the HD graphics appeared pixelated and blocky. Also, the Tab Pro suffered from massive lag and stuttering when when navigating through the operating system. You can read about my experience with that tablet here. It was promptly returned to Best Buy.<br/><br /><br/><br />Back to the Galaxy Tab 4.<br/><br /><br/><br />As mentioned earlier, it runs Kit Kat 4.4 with Samsung’s custom TouchWiz user interface over top. In my opinion, this isn’t a bad thing since I have never been a fan of HTC’s Sense UI. It sadly still comes packed full of bloatware that I almost always remove if possible.<br/><br /><br/><br />Initial Thoughts<br/><br /><br/><br />Being an ex-member of the cult of Steve Jobs, I am still getting used to the Android world and the lack of high resolution displays in some products. The Galaxy S5, which I own, has the best display and form factor on the market right now. Are you listening Apple? Thankfully, there are cheaper Android tablets available that still offer a high quality user experience.<br/><br /><br/><br />Once you go through the obligatory setup screens and sync your applications, the tablet is zippy and runs with no lag whatsoever. Overall memory utilization is low when using several apps at once and multi-tasking.<br/><br /><br/><br />Display<br/><br /><br/><br />OK, this is a 720p display. You will notice a difference if using an S5 and then the Galaxy Tab 4 – but let’s not compare the two. The 1280×800 screen is actually quite beautiful and bright. This is one of the brighter screens I’ve seen on a midrange tablet. Text is sharp as are the graphics, both are quickly rendered thanks to the 1.5GB RAM and quad core processor. Yes, I think it should be a 1080p panel, but it’s a $319 tablet.<br/><br /><br/><br />Performance<br/><br /><br/><br />I was able to open apps and switch between them fairly quickly. This little tablet is definitely more responsive than it’s bigger, more expensive brother. Even under heavy use the Tab 4 performed excellent. It’s able to handle video encoded to 1080p with no stutter, even though it’s obviously rendered at 720p on the screen. No complaints at all about performance.<br/><br /><br/><br />Final Impressions<br/><br /><br/><br />I’m still an Apple fanboy, just now living in an Android world. I really like the Galaxy Tab 4. It’s fast, responsive, light, and does what I need it to do. I feel like for the most part, I could ditch my laptop when traveling. That is, as long as I’m not running a GoPro, or editing HD video.<br/><br /><br/><br />The display is not as sharp as I like, but the applications and games I use are not upated to be displayed yet at the higher resolutions on the Tab Pro.<br/><br /><br/><br />Kit Kat has grown, the OS takes up about 4GB of the internal 16GB, and by the time you add-in the Samsung applications and associated bloatware, you have only about 9GB of usable space. That almost sounds like a Surface tablet, no? LOL Sorry, couldn’t resist. Samsung says the answer is to use a microSD card – which you will want to do immediately. They state on their site, that a maximum of 64GB is supported, although I am tempted to buy a 128GB and try it. I know those work in the S5.<br/><br /><br/><br />So, should you buy it? If you like new gadgets, sure. If you want a great performing Android tablet for a great price, absolutely. I can’t really find anything wrong with this little guy. It’s a keeper.<br/><br /><br/><br />UPDATE<br/><br /><br/><br />I pre-ordered the Galaxy Tab 4 on Amazon at $349. It was released May 1st, and it looks like the price was dropped to $319.99, making it an even better value.</div>

There's nothing wrong with that, but I was looking for something with a bit more depth. Angry Birds and Cut the Rope, et al, are fun, but I can only play them in short stints.<br/><br /><br/><br />Based on positive reviews I decided to give Plague Inc. a try, and after downloading it I played for about 5 hours nonstop.<br/><br /><br/><br />If you can get past the creepy concept that you're trying to wipe out humanity, (which, c'mon, you can do it, it's just a game) this game hits a very sweet spot in that it's easy to learn, but has plenty of depth to add variety to each game. Plus, there are 5 (or more?) plague types. You start with Bacterial, then once you win a game on Normal difficulty you unlock Viral. I haven't beaten Viral yet because my hosts die before the infection can spread! I like that - it's this sort of detail that can make or break a game.<br/><br /><br/><br />Now, you can spend a bunch more money to unlock things, but the game says you can unlock everything just by playing. I think it would cost something close to $20 to instantly buy everything. I DID pay an extra $.99 to unlock a gene (or whatever) where I get extra DNA when popping a blue "cure" bubble. Later in a game when the DNA is hard to come by, this has been helpful - I think it's 2-3 points per bubble, so it's not like it makes the game too easy, just helps a little bit.<br/><br /><br/><br />Anyway, if you're looking for something with more depth, this game is a ton of fun. I'm going to keep an eye on this developer.</div>

A red x appeared over the battery symbol and the tablet appeared to be charging but very slowly. This red x means that the tablet is plugged into a computer and exchanging data but in reality it was plugged into the Samsung AC wall charger using their cable.<br/><br /><br/><br />I tried another Micro USB charging cable and it worked fine but not every time. I was worried that the charging port on the tablet was going bad. I take excellent care of my smart devices and I wanted to find out what the issue was. I contacted Samsung support using the on line message support system. It took about an hour to convince Samsung that the cable was bad and perhaps the AC wall charger.<br/><br /><br/><br />They shipped me a new AC wall charger and the cable. I tried only the cable by itself first and it has worked perfectly every time I haved plugged it in for three weeks. I wanted to post this update in case any other user of this tablet is having a similar problem. Good luck with Samsung support as the person I dealt with was stubborn about recognizing that one of their products was defective.<br/><br /><br/><br />---------------------<br/><br /><br/><br />I own a lot of different tablets but this is my first Samsung and let me say that I am impressed. I went to the store to buy a 7 inch unit but quickly decided to upgrade to the 8 inch version. There were several features that I was concerned about and the 8 inch unit just fit my needs better.<br/><br /><br/><br />* Larger screen size for reading<br/><br />* More basic internal memory at 16 GIG versus 8 GIG for the 7 inch unit<br/><br />* The ability to upgrade to a 64 GIG SD card instead of just 32 GIG - note: It actually will use a 128 GIG SD card. I used a Sandisk Class 10 card at 128 GIG. It is great for storage, books, apps, music and videos.<br/><br /><br/><br />Just remember that in my experience your need for more memory grows as you use your tablet more and if you buy a smaller memory upgrade capability you may regret it. The price difference on launch day was only $40 more. I already own 8 tablets in my family so my experience has proven this need for more memory. As you add more books and more apps the memory slowly gets eaten up. I went ahead and also purchased a Samsung 64 GIG Micro SD memory card and I got a Class 10 Pro series at a cost of $55. It reads at 70 MB/s and a write speed of 20 MB/s. For under $300 you will have a powerful tablet that has more memory (80 GIG) than a 64 GIG iPad Mini for a much lower price.<br/><br /><br/><br />Here is the link to the Samsung Memory that I purchased:<br/><br /><br/><br />Samsung 64GB MicroSD XC Pro Class 10 UHS-1 Read Speed 70mb/s Write Speed 20mb/s MB-MGCGB Ultra Fast Speed Memory Card with SoCal Trade, Inc. Memory Card Reader<br/><br /><br/><br />Some other key features are:<br/><br /><br/><br />* A powerful Qualcomm quad core CPU operating at 1.2 GHZ ( You can see the speed in using the tablet)<br/><br />* 1280 by 800 pixel display<br/><br />* A 3 MP rear facing camera<br/><br />* A 1.3 MP front facing camera<br/><br />* It weighs in at 11 ¼ ounces per my scales<br/><br />* Bluetooth 4.0<br/><br />* Internal 16 GIG of flash memory and it goes to 80 GIG using a 64 GIG Micro SD card (Use a high quality Class 10 Micro SD card)<br/><br />* 1.5 GIG of internal RAM<br/><br />* A 4450 mAh internal battery pack<br/><br />* Android 4.4 operating system Kit Kat<br/><br />* 1080P playback and recording<br/><br />* A built in IR blaster to control your TV and other infra-red devices and an App called WatchON the help you control your TV and see what is playing on your cable service.<br/><br />* The tablet comes with a 31 inch charging and data cable that is a Micro USB on one end and a USB on the other.<br/><br />* It comes with an AC wall charger that outputs 5 VDC at 1 Amp and it will operate on 100 to 240 VAC and 50/60 HZ.<br/><br />* It features a power multitasking function that lets you see and use two apps simultaneously which is something that an Apple iPad cannot do. Very nice feature!<br/><br />* You can set up multiple users and limit the apps that they can see and use.<br/><br />* You can set up a child friendly and protected user interface.<br/><br />* You get $300 worth of free content<br/><br /><br/><br />I found this tablet to be extremely versatile and very fast. The quad core processor is very impressive and browsing the internet was fast and easy. Adding my Gmail account to the tablet literally took a minute. I put together a video to show you the locations for the controls and what the tablet looks like. It is a bit long and I couldn't even talk about all of the items that I wanted to include. I apologize for the length of the video but I get excited over good technology. Overall the tablet is impressive and it is well worth the money based on the quality and performance that I have seen. I rate it as a 5 star item.<br/><br /><br/><br />You can register your device with Samsung Galaxy Perks and get more free items:<br/><br /><br/><br />* A $10 credit on the Google Play Store<br/><br />* 3 months free of Hulu plus<br/><br />* 1 year free of Boingo WIFI<br/><br />* 50 GIG of free Drop Box cloud storage for 2 years<br/><br />* Sirius 3 months free<br/><br />* 3 free audible books for new members<br/><br />* 3 digital magazines free on Zinio for 2 months<br/><br />* A free Polaris Office<br/><br /><br/><br />Update May 2, 2014:<br/><br /><br/><br />Last night I installed the Amazon AppStore and the Amazon Kindle reading app. I down loaded over 950 books and I was blown away by the speed of the downloads. The CPU and strong WIFI connection really shines with its speed. I was using a strong 2.4 GHz WIFI and I downloaded the speedtest app from Google Play and I could download data at 13.36 Mbps and upload data at 2.09 Mbps. Since I am on ATT Uverse that is a reasonable result. The tablet can use either a 2.4 GHz or a 5 GHz WIFI channel. On the 5GHz frequency I got 17.71 Mbps download and 2.24 Mbps upload.<br/><br /><br/><br />I used the Amazon AppStore as I own over 1000 apps and it was fast and easy to download many of them. I could transfer them to the SD card to conserve my internal memory. I had to do this manually on some of the apps and others went to the SD card automatically.<br/><br /><br/><br />The sound of the speaker is pretty loud for its size. I paired the tablet with a Bluetooth speaker and the process is fast and easy. I use Bluetooth a lot and I was glad to see it work so well and Bluetooth 4.0 is the low power version to help reduce battery consumption.<br/><br /><br/><br />Over three hours of continuous work the battery dropped from 98% to 62% which is pretty good considering I downloaded over 950 books and 35 apps. I love the fact that I can use my Amazon books and apps so easily and still have access to the Google Play Store to download utilities and apps that are not available on Amazon. It is like having the best of both worlds.<br/><br /><br/><br />Photographs are easy to take and edit. I even shot some videos. I wanted to include some in my online video but there was not enough space and time remaining to do so.<br/><br /><br/><br />Using an app called Hangouts I was able to do face to face video calls and text messaging with my wife using our gmail account emails. The quality was as good as Facetime and the connection worked very well. I had to install the app Hangouts on my wife's iPhone 5S and the app is free on iTunes. The app was already installed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.<br/><br /><br/><br />I continue to be impressed with the performance and capability of this tablet.<br/><br /><br/><br />I did want to add that the case is slippery and a little wide to hold so I suggest that you get a case to improve your ability to grip the tablet and hold it.</div>

This is one useful little piece of software! And in spite of the three cons, I still rate this as a 5 star app due to its practicality, very nifty backup/restore/share options, and clean design.<br/><br /><br/><br />And now that it is finally getting reviews in spite of being out for so long, I am sure CONSTRUCTIVE criticism would be valuable to the developer. As for a 7 day week, I'll be honest... this is targeted as a daily school lesson scheduler (and the concept of having to attend classes seven days a week blows my mind!). Widening it to have a full week would also widen the consumer market, but for what it is intended for, 5/6 days is appropriate.</div>

Apple iPad mini MD531LL/A (16GB, Wi-Fi, White / Silver)

I purchased one of these for someone on her birthday and it was listed as new. Amazon seems to only sell iPad minis from third party sellers, not from Amazon.com itself, meaning another company gets the iPads from any source they want, sends them to Amazon, and Amazon ships them. One of these sellers listed an iPad mini slightly above retail price, but cheaper than all of the other iPad minis on Amazon. In fact, when I searched for iPad mini, it was the seller and product page the site automatically directed me to. The page indicated it as new, and sold it to me via Amazon. When my friend got her iPad mini, it looked new, was packaged and sealed like new, but when she turned it on, it was tied to someone else's icloud account. I called apple and gave them the serial number. Sure enough, the item was used, only had about 60 days left in the warranty (instead of 90) and was registered through Apple to a different customer. If I wanted a used iPad Mini, I would have paid less. Much less.<br/><br /><br/><br />I even emailed the user who had previously owned it (since her email address via iCloud was showing up when my friend tried to access the app store. I emailed the previous user just to make sure it wasn't a stolen product. She explained that she had purchased it a few weeks back from At&T, not from Amazon. She wanted a wifi + 3g version, not just wifi, so she returned it and somehow, the third party seller got their hands on it and sold it to me as new.<br/><br /><br/><br />In the defense of of the third party seller, once I got their phone number from Amazon and called them (most seller numbers are not on Amazon, you have to call and request a phone number), they provided a scary explanation: They explained that there are problems with Amazon's FBA system (fulfillment). Sometimes, iPads are returned with nothing but index cards in the box and Amazon thinks there is an iPad inside. Sometimes, products mingle, and so another seller's used iPads might be with a different seller's new iPads. They explained that they have a very legitimate source of iPads and have been selling iPads for years and that this is a rare occurrence, although it has happened before. I have no way of verifying any of this, so I can't blame Amazon or the seller. All I can say is that for such a large purchase, and one that is a gift, you are better off buying from a major retail store that doesn't sell used items at all (or buying from Amazon when it is shipped and sold and fulfilled by Amazon). Right now, this product is actually on sale at Walmart.<br/><br /><br/><br />Amazon refunded me but now my friend has to return her birthday gift. I recommend buying from someone other than Amazon. For this particular product, it's probably the cheaper route to do that anyway. If you do buy from Amazon, call Apple with your Serial Number and verify it is a new, unregistered product with a full 90 day warranty. Don't get scammed.</div>

It seems to be working fine on the fireTV now and it works great on the phone so the rating goes back up to five stars where it belongs.<br/><br /><br/><br />Edit:<br/><br />I really hate to have to deduct the stars as it is a great game which I really enjoy. The asking price is well worth it for the gameplay and feel of the game as a whole. My reasoning for the deduction is technical issues. Out of all my device this game is only compatible with my fireTV which is fine but as such it should work properly on it. For the most part it does but it often glitches and prevents from doing anything. When the glitch happens it's as if I were on touchscreen. Before the glitch I can play fine afterward it prevents me from doing anything unless I touch the screen which of course I can't. The only way to get it to work is going to my settings and force stopping the game. I shouldn't have to do that to play a game. If it were once or twice I wouldn't deduct the stars but it's been way more than that. As it is I still highly recommend the game!<br/><br /><br/><br />Original Review:<br/><br />I just purchased this game for my fireTV as it's not compatible with my Fire or Android. I wish it were but, alas, it is not.<br/><br /><br/><br />The first time I installed it didn't work which really disappointed me. The screen acted as if it was on a touch screen device and no matter what I did it didn't do anything except pause and unpause. I called cs support and was advised to uninstall the game and try again. Lo and behold it worked! If any others have the issue I suggest do the same and see if that works.<br/><br /><br/><br />The game itself is easy enough to learn but hard to master. You go through the map collecting the coins in a timely manner without dying. If you manage to do so you get rated in the usual three star system. One star for collecting all the coins, one for not dying and another for passing within a set time.<br/><br /><br/><br />The graphics are stunning. It's like if you were watching some kind of animated short. The storyline itself is nothing to brag about but I do like that touch a lot. Controls may be a bit sensitive but still playable. All in all its a nice clean game worth the price. I only wish it were compatible with my Kindle HD (previous generation). For now I will enjoy it on my tv.</div>
