What is Free Time?
Free Time is the managing application from Amazon. Its official name is Amazon’s Fire Tablets. However, it’s also available in the Google Play store for download on almost all phones and tablets. Unlike other control apps, Amazon Free Time doesn’t lock kids in one app, prevents them from accessing other apps or the device’s dashboard. Instead, Amazon FreeTime completely replaces the device and turns it into a friendly device. Specifically, the interface of the app is very easy to use. The tools list is completely separate for children. Each of them has a different panel that is suitable for their age. If you pay for the Free Time Unlimited package, you can access a huge library of selected movies, TV shows, and books from the developer.

What’s inside the Free Time profile?
When the child uses the device, the app updates to include the media last used (books, apps, and videos). The toolbar above the screen displays full categories, consisting of Book, Video, Apps, and Character. Besides, the content is not available in the app that is automatically downloaded from Amazon. They are free so you can rest assured that you won’t lose money when your kids accidentally buy anything.
