    , check the apps’ ratings and comments  
    before installing. This will help you choose the best ones for you.  If you doubt the safety of an app, dont install it.  Like all apps, downloaded 
    apps will use up memory,  
    data, battery, and processing power—some more than others. For example, simple settings widget will use less than a streaming music player app. After installing an app, if youre not happy with how much memory, data, battery or processing power its using, uninstall it. You can always install it again later.  Just like web browsing, you may want to monitor  childrens’ access to apps to help prevent exposure to inappropriate content.  Certain apps may not provide completely accurate  information. Take care, especially when it comes to personal health.Important customer informationPlease be advised that many services and applications offered through this unique device are provided by Google and various application developers.
