You have an advantage over me there as I don't know anything about the apple store except that it is very good. I've never had a problem finding very good apps on Google though.

I got the Wife a Hudl and it does facebook and games. Works well when I go online with it. Plays video like you tube perfectly.
I have 2 daughters. One has an iPad, the other a Hudl. Neither would swap the one that they have for the other one.
The main reason that one likes the iPad the best is that all her friends have Apple stuff, so she needs it if she wants to talk to them through iMessage. The iPad is also a bit lighter and you can get funky covers.
The Hudl is excellent value if you don't need to access iMessage. Google Play is almost as good as the Apple App store.

I had an iPad mini, it stopped working
Hundreds of unhappy Hudl customers including myself. Certainly a fault with charging port. Buy one at your peril.

The Hudl 1 was a very basic tablet, and not well manufactured.
The Hudl 2 has got some really good reviews, and from sites that don't hesitate to lay into bad products. Every review flags up the parental controls and the value for money (not many tablets in this price range have a full HD screen or such powerful speakers). The trade-off is poor battery life - it would need charging at the end of each day, whereas the iPad mini, and more expensive Android tablets, can last for days at a time.

strong and stable with me, or...
Have you taken into the Apple store? Even out of warranty, they will often repair or replace a faulty product, especially if it is a known problem. Not always though...

I understand your dissatisfaction with your tablet. However why highlight the wrong tablet?

This is a very good point about the iPad linking to other Apple stuff when you have kids. Not only is there iMessage (free on wifi) but Find My iPhone as well which I find incredibly useful sometimes both for my own and the various Apply products owned by my kids. And iCloud is great for syncing etc.
Never owned any other kind of tablet so can't compare but I wouldn't change my Apple stuff for anything......

Staring at the rude boys
I've had a Nexus 7 and an iPad mini. In my opinion the iPad is streets ahead.
The Android-powered Nexus often slowed down and I had to use a memory manager to kill background apps. The iPad manages it's memory much better and I've rarely needed to close errant apps.
Also look at resale values, the iPad holds its price much better
