# Many issues
I don't like this tablet.
## Market problem
### No Anroid Market / Google Play
It doesn't have Android Market nor Google Play officially. Of course it can unofficially be installed, but that doesn't fix the compatibility of applicaltions.
### Amazon Market
[Leader Interational INC], the author of this tablet, suggests installing Amazon Market in one of the papers which come with this device. This has a problem that you must give credit card details <strong>even with free applicaltions</strong>. I don't have credit card!
### [F-Droid]
F-Droid is the solution for this problem. It describes itself as "<em>an easily-installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform.</em>".
#### Applicaltion compatibility
I am experiencing many issues with different applicaltions on this tablet. Luckily [F-Droid] clearly tells where the issue trackers and homepages are.
I will list them in them in table below

Why "Fix in [F-Droid]"? It's the only market, which I have found correctly working on this device.
## [ADB] logcat doesn't work.
1. I have plugged the USB cable.
2. USB debugging reports to be on.
3. Device detects the cable.
4. I have tested [ADB] with another device and it worked.
It's good that at least [alogcat] works. I haven't tested other features of adb yet.
What happens when I run it? Nothing as you can see below.
```
% adb logcat
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
- waiting for device -
```
