GetJar is the app store for coby tablets?

Yes, but I jail broke my tablet and now I have the entire android marketplace on my tablet. I can make purchases from the marketplace. The only problem I have with my tablet is that it does not show well in the sunlight. However, it is a nice tablet so I gave it to my son and I'm about to get a Samsung Galaxy Tab. They are really nice and it's actually better for what I need a tablet for.

Yes and it is pretty horrible. Google Play will not work on this tablet without rooting the device. BUT Amazon's appstore works fine. Through it I was able to get Netflix, Skype, etc. and all worked fine. Most games worked great too though a few said they were not compatible with my device.

Yes, GetJar is the way to get apps right now, I believe. As tablets have evolved, the way to download apps has changed. The Coby Kyros is limited compared to some other tablets, and that means the app place has changed and may change again to make sure that this device will still be able to get apps. My kids use this tablet to play various games, so I know that it still has use. Sometimes our wifi connections kicks this tablet offline for no reason, and I am told it is because of the way in which this tablet gets online. If you find it keeps getting kicked offline, restart the device and just be patient with it. Yes, GetJar is the way to get apps right now, I believe.

It is but you have to side load the Google app store which I have done on the Z2 but it has been a couple of years. The only question is if Spotify offers the option of running a compatible version on an outdated version of Android?

Not on the tablet itself but there are apps on google play store that you can download and use.

I wouldnt buy another coby product. Spend a little more and get an hp slate or a samsung galaxy 2 tab. Coby has an awful warranty service dept. Sent my defective product back over 12 weeks ago and they confirmed it was bad, but still cannot tell me when my new one will be sent.

Let me say this, do not even think to purchase a Coby Kyros Tablet, it is the worst brand in the technology. I bought three Coby Kyros and they crash within three weeks so if you do you will regret it!

I have this tablet. Getjar is ok, Google play is not available for it to my knowledge. Most Amazon apps & games work. When you go to buy an app on Amazon, it will show you if its ok for your tablet, or not. Good Tablet for the price. Dont waste money on an sd card unless you want to transfer stuff from another source such as pictures, music, or pc files.

Coby uses it's own affiliated store (SlideME). It's good, but it's not nearly as big as Google play.it is good enough though for the basics, and is growing. The advantage is that anything there will work with the Kyros. You can also download from "private company" sites and install manually. It cannot download from any other location without hacking the tablet.

This poor excuse for a tablet does NOT have the Google Play Store; it has "Get Jar". I'm fairly certain that means a definitive NO.

Yes it comes loaded with google playI also loaded GetJar as they are for my kids, that way they have a completely free appstore to browse

Yes it is. It runs Android 4.0.4 (ice cream sandwich) You get full access to Google play store for apps, Facebook, ect.

There is only 1 place to get apps from on this device. Look for the app "GetJar" that is where you get apps for this device.

Yes, the Google play app is installed on this tablet, along with FB, Netflix, Gmail, Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja and couple of other things that come with it already.

I took off the OS(icecream i thinnk) that was installed and put on another one that allowed me to access the playstore. Turns out some of the apps at the playstore aren't compatiable with this version of the Kyros. For the most part I'm happy with it. But it kinda sucks when you go get an app and you get the message that it's not compatiable with the tablet you have.

Yes, I can access the Google play store as well as the amazon store, getjar and others. It is a great and versitile android device.

Hi Lake. I downloaded the Audiobooks Now application from Getjar and it works great. The Kryos is not approved for the Android Market but comes with Getjar already installed so it can access a lot of applications. One heads up, it looks like Coby is out of business: http://consumerist.com/2013/10/16/coby-electronics-shuts-down-taking-customer-warranties-with-it/

your best bet is not to buy this tablet in the first place. If you already have it, there are good apps out there in the app store that let you read all of them.

I have the Amazon App store installed. You can install it by going to this link on the tablet and install: http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get/androidIf this link does not work you can google "amazon app store" on the tablet and find the link.
