Replacement for my dead iPad, suggestions please.

My trusty(overrated)iPad has finally died.
I want a tablet that is reliable, one that is fairly priced so when it gets scratched I won't cry.

The iPad was good but not £400 good.

I take it on site quite a bit, general use is in a building site office/portacabin type environment so a bit harsher than normal everyday use.

I've looked at some sub £100 and they seem OK for what I need but I'm not sure of the pro's/cons of such.

What would you recommend?

I've seen an Amazon Fire 7 for £60 is this any good?

7 inch screen.
Resolution 1024 x 600 pixels.
IPS technology.
Multi-touch screen.
LED backlit display.
Fingerprint resistant coating.
Support for simultaneous display of multiple languages.
Specifications:
1.3GHz MediaTek MT8127 quad core processor.
1GB RAM.
16 GB internal storage.
128 .
Fire OS fire os 5.0 operating system.

I've got a Samsung Galaxy tab cost £169 from Currys.
Full of loads of stuff that you just don't need.
If you just want basic Internet and Mail get an Amazon Fire for £60 ... Just pocket money for a wealthy guy like you

I find the Amazon Fire a little on the small side so I have the Samsung Tab4 as well, no probs whatever to date and the advantage of expandable memory using SD cards, which the ipad doesn't have. I also think the Android OS is far superior on many of the apps, so all in all I'd definitely buy again.

I have an estimating app, a navigation(sailing)app which are important but the rest are everyday apps.

My iPad is on its way out too.
But can someone explain apps to me ?
I thought they were an apple invention but my laptop ( dell) has them now I see on my hated Windows 10 .
Have no idea how to add one though .
