Soooo slooooooow

Just taken me 15 min to get here

Great big pile of rubbish!

This afternoon I have waited over twenty minutes for a football app to load and start working properly. At other times I have waited over ten minutes for the photo gallery to open. This tablet is so slow - do not buy one.
