Bloatware on iconiatab a500

eamurray

I received a iconiatab a500 "as a gift" with so much bloatware (I think that's what they call it) that has left the tablet almost useless.  The tablet itself seems to have everything I would want in a tablet but there is so much advertising and programs wanting to somehow get me to purchase services and/or products that has left the tablet so resource hungry that I have a hard time even performing the simplest task without slowing down to "snail speed".  It is sad that I would look for a replacement when I have this potentially good product but is Googled and Acered to this degree. I looked into reflashing the tablet but wonder if its worth the risk of bricking it. After already owning a Kindle Fire (first generation) I am currently looking at a Kindle Fire HDX that I am confident will operate circles around your tablet build.  In conclusion, I hope this message gets to the correct level and taken for what's its worth. I will never buy another Acer product again. Thanks for wasting my time and money.  Eric

I know what you are referring to and I'm pretty sure that those apps can be disabled and removed from your desktop screen. 

 

I'm sorry this has caused you such frustration, but I am confident that this can be resolved as I have disabled a number of apps on my own Android tablet too. Thanks.
