I'd like to see Boyue fix the auto-refresh glitch for third party apps. They are supposed to in October.
I like the Mars, though I have the impression that it was released before the firmware was really ready for prime time. (Of course, Boyue is hardly alone in doing that.)

Thanks for the supportive response, esp. on card set-up; that may help others, as I still doubt I will keep this, unless an update that affords Google Play and alternate launcher-use comes down the pike, pronto (I have all of the current updates)--I am just surprised at how balky and difficult this device is to set up compared to the Boyue T62 and the Onyx i86; it took about an hour each to outfit them as Android tablets with apps like Moon +, ES File, Cloud connections through ES, etc.. The Mars seems designed not to do the Android thing well. The Mars operates more like a propietary ereader, and I have little interest in that. If I wanted that, I'd use the Kindle. I was hoping for a faster, better battery life, B&W Android--this doesn't seem to be that.
