Keep all your kids busy for 3 months: Grab Amazon FreeTime Unlimited for $1

In addition to a banquet of deep discounts on its Echo range of devices,

Amazon is heavily discounting its subscription service for kids, FreeTime Unlimited

for Black Friday. Three months of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited’s family plan — which normally would cost you $30 — is right now available for just a dollar. The package offers unlimited access to child-friendly content on any Amazon service such as Audible or Prime Video for up to four kids of ages 3-12.

Amazon FreeTime Unlimited is a one-stop subscription for kids who are used to Amazon products like the Fire tablets, Kindle e-book readers, Fire TV streaming stick and Echo smart speakers. Parents can specifically choose and approve the content, including books, audiobooks, and TV shows, that their kids request.

As you’d expect, the subscription comes with a host of parental controls. They can be employed to configure how long the kids are allowed to stream the available content and set age restrictions. In addition, there’s a centralized dashboard that lets parents keep tabs on exactly what their children are reading or watching. It also offers the ability to remotely pause connected devices.

On products like the Fire tablets, Amazon FreeTime Unlimited enables parents to define internet browsing limits and pick what their kids can download from the app store. There’s even a bedtime setting which automatically locks down the devices and unlocks them at a specific time every day.

Once the three-month period expires, Amazon FreeTime Unlimited’s family plan will cost you a monthly $7 fee if you have a Prime membership or $10 otherwise. You can also purchase it for a year for $69 which brings down the monthly cost to $5.75.

Amazon FreeTime Unlimited won’t have much value if you don’t own any Amazon devices, however. Lucky for you, the e-commerce company is running a ton of discounts and deals on its whole range of products like Echo smart speakers, Fire tablets, and the rest.

In addition to those, nearly every other company is scrambling to put up the most captivating discounts. We have compiled all of them in our Black Friday and Cyber Week guides.

If you’re looking for great Samsung tablet deals, aim for the top and get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra while it’s $450 off right now at Best Buy. One of the best tablet deals around, it normally costs $1,100 but today, you can buy it for $650, which is a considerable discount on a tablet we once referred to as the “king of tablets.” The deal lasts until September 15, so you have a little time to decide -- but you certainly won’t be disappointed. Here’s what to know about it.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
Back in 2022, we described the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra as a tablet “unlike any other.” It has a huge 14.6-inch screen -- bigger than some laptops offer. The sAMOLED screen has a vast resolution of 2960 x 1848 and a 120Hz refresh rate. Like the rest of the tablet, it’s built with power users in mind. Such a big size means it’s not really designed for portability, but it does focus on how it can help you work from home better. It comes with an S Pen stylus for sketching out ideas or writing notes, for instance, with power which continues to rival some of the best 2-in-1 laptops.

When we reviewed the Garmin Forerunner 265, we called it “a new standard for fitness watches.” That is definitely how I felt when I spent time with it. One huge highlight is its great looking AMOLED panel, which offers deep blacks and vibrant colors. Having tried cheaper Garmin watches, it’s that screen that instantly makes the Garmin Forerunner 265 much classier to use.
