I tried, but didn’t really understand the benefit of, this program. It’s kind of like an app store within an app store on your device and thus the content wasn’t popular content but some random apps & videos Amazon thinks is interesting to kids. I’d recommend using better apps for educational content and then use device-level locks (like app store passwords) to restrict what they can load.
Agree that there seems to be little rhyme or reason with the content selection. But Freetime can be used to regulate screen time on Fire tablets. Google Family link does that too, but it apparently isn’t compatible with Fire tablets unless you root.
There are no ads for the kids content. That’s the biggest benefit. The majority of the apps outside of this I’ll have ads which are extremely annoying.
