Rubbish – This was bought as a gift for my son but the person dif not keep proof of purchase. Pendo refuse to exchange or refund even though it hasn’t worked from day one. This is actually against consumer law in Australia. A receipt is not needed for a faulty product. Like most of the other reviews it is a piece of junk. Show details
Piece of junk – I purchased this cheap tablet for my 4yo to get used too basic functions and enjoy some kids games. It lasted a couple of months before experiencing non stop pop ups, freezing and eventually not functioning at all! We weren't even using the internet except to download some basic kids apps. Fit for the rubbish bin!! Show details

Great for the kids in the car – Bought for easy use in the car...while travelling...for the kids. Its very small so not ideal for long viewing/using time. Holds quite a few movies. We dont use it for much else than a few educational APPs and games. The kids like to use it for a novelty and at such a low price easier to use than risking mum and dads Iphone. Show details
Great product – Works great as a plate for my dog's food, not much else It can hold beef, chicken, fish and vegetables and is a great brand, would definitely recommend to a friend ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Show details
Very surprising - handy and inexpensive – We got a Pendo 7" Tablet as part of a recent insurance policy renewal, thinking it wouldn't be much "chop", but we have found its very handy, very versatile and good value for money. The kids all have ipads, my wife and I have smart phones (iphone / samsung) and I have a work laptop - so the Pendo didn't fill a specific need - but we have found a… Read more
use for it - we have it looked up to our Chromecast in the bedroom and it basically works as a quasi remote control, also allowing net surfing / email checking - like I say - very handy!

Basic – It's a great tablet for children or an adult that struggles with Internet. This little tablet is easy to use. You do have to remember to close down each site you've gone onto. It's storage isn't great. So it really is for basic use. I do think it works well for a child who don't do much but they get used to computer internet form This device. Show details
Pendo Pad 7, absolute rubbish – It has been trouble since I bought it in April at Aus Post. Can't turn in, can't turn it off, apps don't work, google works 2 minutes then freezes. Had to reboot it so many times. I have an NBN, and I will never buy this product again. It's Rubbish. Show details
With PENDO, you get what you pay for – PENDO 7" Android tablet. 90+ seconds to power on. 60+ seconds to load Google Store. Massive delays when touching any 'button'. Anything internet is too slow to be productive. My connection is an NBN Wireless with 300Mbit average speed on my notebook and phones. No clue what the bottleneck is. Youi App won't work. Lots of apps not… Read more
compatible as there is no SIM slot. The only app I'm able to use productively on it is a remote control app for my phone.

This is perfect! Can't live without it! – I use my Pendo Pad 7" for writing. It satisfies all of my needs. All of my apps work smoothly on the tablet. I bought it for $49 from a cash converters type store here in Wollongong, Australia, in order for work. I'm writing a novel on it, and am currently about 8000 words in! Show details
Waste of money!!! – Brought two of these tablets for my twin daughters which they did not last very long they both would not charge again which made them them unhappy cause they had games and photos on the devices should have brought a coloring book because it would have save time and money, because I spent alot of time downloading games on it!!!!! Show details
Not a good product – This tablet has nothing going for it. It doesn't charge properly or hold charge for long. Nothing special. I would not purchase this product again. Purchased via Dodo with phone P but could never really use it and no time to wait for hours on their help line. Disappointed in this junk. Show details
Complete Waste of Money – Never purchase this product. Absolutely rubbish. When I brought this, the speakers didn't even work, the glass on the touchscreen felt like plastic and the sluggishness of the os was atrocious. You can barely even browse the internet with device. Trust me when I say this you are paying for a brick when you purchase this product. Show details

If you could give no stars – Utterly useless if you think its cheap can only say way overpriced for what it does, freezes, slow and frustrating for simplest of tasks! Not much more i can add.... Show details
There Are Better Choices – We got this only because it was really cheap at Woolworths and yep, you get what you pay for as they say. It does work but it has shocking viewing angles and is very slow to complete some browsing tasks. It seems to hold a charge fore quite a while and is reasonably bright in sunlight but honestly could not recommend this as it is a frustrating overall experience Show details
Absolute rubbish! – Pendo 7, crashes and freezes constantly, turns itself off, when it's working it's as slow as a snail. Would not recommend, infact Pendo should stop making them altogether. They're just no good at it, think I'll stick with Samsung from now on, you get what you pay for. Sorry Pendo but it's a fail from me. Show details
Awful – We actually bought it the first time, then returned it for a replacement and tried again and the problem still remained. Fact is our wifi is excellent in the house on all other devices, yet on this it was so slow on this pendo pad that ultimately you couldn't do a thing on it. Absolutely useless. Returned for refund. Show details
Barely Functional – all apps constantly become unresponsive, and the internet disconnects at times and will not reconnect. I bought 4 of these for my children for games, i would say that this tablet is not useful for this purpose at all. it is somewhat useful for netflix, however the children report that even that app becomes unresponsive regularly as well and needs to be restarted, as well as the speakers being very quiet. headphones must be purchased separately. Show details
Not very practical – I did not enjoy using this tablet in day-to-day activities for the following reasons: 1. The touch screen is very unresponsive at times. 2. The screen is very unclear and dark, which makes it incredibly hard to read when not indoors (not practical whatsoever). 3. The ports are not very well-positioned at all (most notably the charging port)… Read more
- I found it awkward and difficult to type and hold the tablet while charging especially.
If you're looking for a tablet to use with a Keyboard & Mouse, I'd recommend this - for anything else, however, I would not recommend the item.
Not good – I wanted a simple tablet and didn't want to pay too much, so when I saw this one on special, decided to buy it. Slow when uploading pages and screen is not clear. I suggest if you want a better one in terms of speed and features, to spend a bit more money. Show details
Bad screen sensors – Whilst the price is cheap, unless you plan on using it infrequently, I would spend a bit more and get something that’s actually useful. The screen is not very touch sensitive and you have to press quite hard. Also colour is dull and audio quite soft, and even surfing the web makes the processor lag. Show details
terrible – When you buy a tablet, please choose a trusted brand tabet with good specifications and get away from products like it. Pendo pads are terrible products. It has little internal spaces to install apps, and after a long time, its touch screen doesn't fully work. I would say it is even an unqualified toy. Show details

Brought 3 in 2 months due to unreliable screens not happy at all – Brought 3in 2months for the kids but didn't realize how easily they break don't no what to do $230 later should have brought an ipad or something worth my money. Show details
So frustrating – Hi, I brought mine less then 2 months ago, it's so frustrating it does not run that well, it throws you off sites and the important sites it takes for ever to let you load them for what I paid and was on special. I'm so disappointed your product is not up to standard's and I would not recommended any one buying one. Also battery life is terrible having to charge daily it should last longer then it does.

pendo pad – very very bad thing its not worth to buy this worse thing i have ever seen in my life, waste of money, no battery bad battery life charger screen visibility everything is rubbish dont go for it worse thing .... i wont recommend any one to waste their money on this crap Show details
Crap Waste of money – The product is cheap and rubbish. You charge the battery and it doesnt last even for 1 hour of usage. To load an application it takes time and is very frustrating and the camera it freezes and the tablet it doesnt respond . You have to turn the tablet off and then power it on again. I wiill never buy Chinese rubbish again. I rather spent a bit more money and get something better to use. Show details
Have it, so laggy – This device is just utterly awful, it is so slow and laggy and overhears as soon as I touch it. I purchased it from target for cheap and was expecting alot more than just a laggy interface. The device can't even install apps from.the Play store like seriously? And every time you go into the tablets own app store you only see pornography Show details
Useless – They don't have enough memory space for anything it only had enough room for Facebook & 1 small child's game & then when I needed to update the game I couldn't coz the storage was already full. I thought it would be a good cheap option for my kids & young grandkids but it was a total waste of money Show details
Crap – Bought this PendoPad the from target online. Worst tablet I've ever had!! Its very slow. freezes all the time apps are very slow to upload, even though I'm on a very good nbn service provider. Also gets very hot even when not charging.battery life is also really bad. I didn't really use it and it had to be charged every night Show details
Crap – Absolute junk!! take off market my calculator works better even my kid is fed up with the useless thing!!!! Waste of money full stop!. It doesn't charge or hold charge, it lags and freezes constantly and doesn't support a lot of apps or anything and seems to use battery life on its own without even touching it, just why???? Sorry but this product is sucky!!. Show details
Unresponsive, unchanging... Dead – This is by far the worst piece of smart technology that I have ever handled, yes it was cheap but it was such a waste of money. The pad worked actually alright for around 2 days before the battery started to die to around ~3 minutes of entertainment before it died. So now it’s a wired tablet. Then the screen responsibly gets even worse to unusable. This is not recommended for a Christmas present. Show details
Heats up and bad image quality – It heats up almost immediately and the image quality isn't good. It also lags quite a bit but as it was free I shouldn't complain too much? Well, it's free for a reason and it's good marketing for them. It's a cheap-quality product from China andI really don't understand why it's on the market. Show details
Kids love it – Great size for kids .they can put games on it with good storage has nice vivid colour screen .it presents well comes in different colours .great portable device they can take anywhere great for travel .easy to use .fast charging would recommend as a first tablet for kids or students until they need to up there storage space and speed Show details
