✓ Best everAt first it was annoying that you had to download an app before using it but it turned out that setting it up took about 5 seconds and it is very cool how it tracks when you use it. Not only does it take your temp you can weight notes for you doctor, set alarms to take your meds and even take a short quiz to see if you need to go to the hospital. I also enjoy that it tells you on your the app weather or not your temp is a fever. By for the best one out there..Version: 1.25.0
✓ Chuck Pappalardo product userAs a 61 year old Boomer I am usually very protective of my privacy. The way of being for people born in the late 50’s grew up in the 60’s and early 70’s, however, because of the Corona virus and the lack of preparedness by the Government regarding testing it seemed the patriotic thing to do to share my vitals so others can determine based on my locality how we’re doing In staving off the virus. Then I fell in love with the product. Easy to set up and easy to use. Thanks Kinsa you live the Spirit of San Francisco inventiveness...!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ The Best Tracking App when sick!I love this app! I use this every time my 4 year old is sick. It doesn’t just keep track of body temperature, you can also add medications given and at what time they were given. You can add notes and track their symptoms and even set reminders for next time they need to take their medicine or set a reminder for anything honestly. The app also gives you advice/tips and home remedies. You can also create a profile for all members of your family! Tracking everything when you or your children are sick is a must especially if you can be forgetful or have more than 1 child sick at a time. It’s so helpful to have everything in the app especially when it comes to talking to the doctor. When I speak to the doctor and the doctor asks me questions I can easily look back at the app and tell the doctor every detail which helps a lot! I highly recommend this app to everyone especially parents of little ones!.Version: 2.24.1
✓ Very helpful in tracking.I bought this before the COVID-19 pandemic as I was having many kidney issues and needed an accurate thermometer. Didn’t even know it had an app to accompany the thermometer when we bought it. I was able to track every reading for myself when my doctor needed to know how I was doing. I was able to add notes for symptoms as they were present so later I would have them recorded to correspond to the time of the fever readings. My doctor was so impressed she too a picture of the thermometer (which I had in my purse) and immediately downloaded the app. She sent me an email that evening and told me she bought one on her way home and was glad she did. Her husband has mesothelioma and she has to track many issues for him and was tired of opening a spreadsheet. Now all of her nurses and some of her other patients also use this app and thermometer. Later this year when my husband and I were stricken with COVID-19 we were able to both keep track of everything easily and not lose anything. Thank you for a wonderful device and app..Version: 2.7.0
✓ Best thermometer ever!I’m a mom of 4 kids ranging in age from 14yrs to 14 months so I’ve tried quite a few thermometers over the years and this one is by far the best I’ve tried! Once you download the app to your phone you can add the members of your family or anyone you would use it on. Then when you take a temp you open the app up and select who it was for. Now when you have more than one kid, chances are you will have them all sick at some point in time and this makes it super easy to keep track of each kid, their temperature and it even allows you the option to add if you’ve gave them medication or not what time and how much and what it is. My favorite part though is the at home things to try for different symptoms going on. I love things that recognize that sometimes the best thing is rest and a few things at home before you rush to the doctor. I will definitely recommend this to any and every friend of mine for years to come.Version: 3.10.0
✓ This thermometer by means is my all time favorite.Wow I must say that the thermometer is great for the whole family Kinsa Makes difference thermometers I did purchase the one that kept the temperatures of anyThree temperatureAny three people you desire. If then gives you information on what could be the issue and ask questions and as you respond to each question it will provide some kind of answer that might be wrong with your child I like that it saves in stores up to three children at a time or adults The one second reading is a blessing try to keep a thermometer under A two or three-year-olds arm for three minutes, not happening thank you Kissa.Version: 1.24.1
✓ Love this!It’s not the cheapest but not the most expensive either but for the quality and accuracy, I say it’s very worth it! I’ve had this since my son was 4 months old and for a baby like that this thermometer worked perfect. It goes into the ear and within a second, it accurately reads your temp. I’ve tried the $60 forehead ones or the cheap normal stick that goes under the armpit thermometers and they just 1) take too long, and 2) aren’t accurate. This thermometer will give you the same, reading each time. A plus too is that it comes with a health app! I absolutely LOVE this app. It will automatically save the temp reading and the time it was taken, let you note medicine that was taken and symptoms, which then formulate into a suggestion of whether to monitor your baby from home or take the the dr. There’s a lot more I wish I could explain about the app but for sure this thermometer and app is a moms best friend when her baby is sick and I recommend 10/10!.Version: 1.13.0
✓ Buggy App, slow & unhelpful supportI’ve had nothing but problems since I ordered this thermometer from the manufacturer. Took a month to be delivered, it wouldn’t connect to app, password couldn’t be updated after was forced to delete and reinstall app, none of the suggestions from slow tech support helped, Kinsa app freezes when I try to link to Apple Health app. Eventually I’ve sorted out some of the issues on my own but who wants to have to spend days to get a bluetooth thermometer to work correctly?.Version: 1.13.0
✓ Highly recommendI recommend this for any parent. It tracks fevers and keeps information for past sicknesses. You can add to track times you gave medications, symptoms, and any notes you may need. The way the information is organized is great. It gives a peace of mind for nervous parents, sharing general info and when you should be worried to possibly call the doctor. There’s alarms to check fevers or give medication again. Recommended this to any family..Version: 3.10.0
✓ Good product. However app not very intuitive.Giving a rectal thermometer test to a 2 yr old is not a walk in the park. Frequently I would launch the app, turn on the thermometer, and by the time i was able to get control of the karate kicks going for my face was finally able to stick the kasa, Kansa, idk what you call this thing, in her rectum….then came to find the thermometer turned off by the time the thermometer was inserted. So only click the on button when you have those karate kid legs wrangled and trust that the Bluetooth will connect to the app. It usually does. So again. 5 star product. 3 star app intuitiveness. strange how they wouldn’t extend the standby time of the thermometer in rectal mode to allow time to collect a reading..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Great thermometer and fantastic appI live overseas with my family and I’ve been using a Kinsa thermometer for several years. I cannot tell you how handy it is to keep track of temperatures and symptoms, especially with multiple children who are often sick at the same time. The advice it gives is helpful and the record of keeps is invaluable when it comes to talking to doctors back in the US or going to the local clinic here. It’s a great product..Version: 3.5.0
✓ Helpful AppThe Kinsa thermometer with app is really helpful when you have a sick child. The thermometer automatically updates your phone and tracks the fever each time you take your kid’s temp. You can add when medications were given and how much, set an alarm to check temp and track other symptoms. It tells you what course of action to take based on your child’s age and their temp. It was very helpful in giving me peace of mind for a care plan overnight..Version: 3.7.0
✓ Just got this yesterdayMy family and I are traveling for a funeral. When we arrived at our destination, my son had a tactile fever. I went to the closest store, and this thermometer was the only affordable option. I wasn’t thrilled that it’s a “smart” thermometer, but it was $20 instead of the $60 option. $20 bucks, sold! It worked like a charm for the first few hours. He was indeed running a fever of over 100 degrees. And, it turned out I was also coming down with the flu, and was running a temp of 102.6. Unfortunately, the thermometer app only worked for about 12 hours. Now, every time I open the app, I get the loading screen. And, it never loads the app. It just keeps giving me the loading screen equivalent of the middle finger. It won’t save any data, and I can only use the thermometer manually. Thankfully, once it’s linked to a smart phone, I can still get a manual reading. I just can’t use the app. Edit: Apparently, there was an update released shortly after I purchased the thermometer. Once I updated the app, the thermometer/app started working seamlessly again..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Great ThermometerThermometer seems to work great! I would suggest using it while you are well so you can get an average of what your temperature normally runs before you actually feel the need to use it. As I’ve always told my patients, there is no such thing as normal. There are only measurements that are considered normal. I would base my judgement of whether I had a fever on the average temperature I got when I felt better. I would also suggest doing this on any medical device such as this (blood pressure, pulse ox, or heart rate monitor)..Version: 1.21.0
✓ The Best Thermometer + App Duo Ever!Hands down the best thermometer I have ever bought. Where was this product two kids ago?! Haha. I love the app as well. The only issue I have with the app is very minor. When you go to add in a time of medication given for prior in the day “Tomorrow” actually mean the Current Day. AM and PM are backwards. So if you go to enter a medication give at 8:30 AM on August 29th you would have to do it by entering it in as 8:30 “PM” “Tomorrow” ... a little tricky at first and confusing. I hope it’s just a minor error and is fixed soon. Other than that it is literally perfection. Accurate and fast readings ..every ..single ..time! 👏🏻👏🏻 Kudos to the creators and inventors at play here! Very well thought out! Could always add in extra features as well one day. Always room to update and improve. The thermometer itself is just AMAZING... wouldn’t mind having some specifically made probe covers for the Kinda Quick Care Thermometer though instead of guessing online which sizes will fit and which brand to buy for it 🤷🏼♀️.Version: 1.21.0
✓ Best app ever!!!I’m a mom of 3 and I’m so happy that Kinsa saved me a trip to the doctors office! My youngest was feeling really sick, but after taking her temp and adding her symptoms, this app told me I could help her feel better at home. I called my doctor just to check, and he was really impressed with the guidance this app gave me - and agreed I didn’t need to come in unless she started feeling worse. So thankful! I will be using this app every time now for all my kids - and myself! Thank you kinsa!.Version: 1.6.0
✓ Tap Switch Celsius to FahrenheitLoving the app! Great design and functionality Would love to be able to switch between C° and F° by tapping on the reading or somewhere in the timeline instead of going to settings..Version: 2.25.0
✓ LOVE IT!I was given the thermometer kit by my child’s school a few months ago. I was skeptical at first thinking it would be too much of a hassle but I was entirely wrong. It’s become one of the best tools, as a Mom, I’ve ever had. It’s a must have for self and definitely for parents. It’s easy to set up and use. It even troubleshoots for you if there is an error on the thermometer. I can’t believe I waited so long to use this. Definitely recommend this to anyone..Version: 3.10.0
✓ Documents everythingSo I called in sick, in June 2021. It was nothing more than a cold, but I wanted to make sure I hadn’t contracted COVID-19. I took my temp 3x a day with no sign of a fever. Now, I could do that with any thermometer. I love the fact that this one documents every temperature reading and save it to your smart phone. When you need to show it to a nurse, or colleagues at work, they can see that you haven’t had a fever. It also compiles the meta-data from all over to indicate hotspots across the nation. I’m not sure how I feel about having my meta-data collected like that, but I do like the results of being able to see where the hotspots are..Version: 2.7.0
✓ Great Tracking AppAt first I only used this app to track when I used their thermometer. But I recently discovered that you can manually add in your own temperatures, plus any other information regarding your child’s health. For example: vomiting, coughing, when you administered medication, and even notes from your child’s health care provider. I’m loving this app now and you can see a time line of events that can easily be shared with the doctor. Also it shows your risk of Covid and the flu within your county. They also have health tips related to the symptoms that you entered in and also indicates if your child should see their doctor..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Perfect tool and app comboI absolutely love this thermometer. I have an old digital oral/rectal thermometer, a new forehead thermometer and this oral/rectal thermometer by Kinsa and this one is my favorite. It’s much easier to work with than the others just to turn on and take a temp reading. It’s easy to read with an emoji face and temp reading and you have it working with the phone app that immediately received the reading. It keeps record on app of time, temp, symptoms, medication and dosage, as well as an alarm to help keep track of next dose or reading. This app can also be paired with your child’s school and you can create a profile for each child or adult. It will send reading info to your school nurse and will notify you of illness cases in school reported and collected w Kinsa app..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Still no French LanguagesAfter seeing publicity in French in many stores, this app can’t add French after all those years... Not professional at all... They don’t care about us....Version: 2.3.0
✓ Very easy to useAll I need to do is open the app, turn the thermometer on, and it automatically connects, shows that it is reading the temperature and saves the results..Version: 3.4.0
✓ I was wrong.I’ve had some trouble with it hanging on startup, and I assumed that it was due to the app not able to work without the internet connected. Now I’ve tested it with the internet off and it does actually record temps and work. So improving my review to 4 stars. Not 5 since it does randomly hang when connecting, and makes simple measurements too complex, (measuring temperature and recording to Apple health shouldn’t need much UI at all, and certainly no button presses) but it does work without internet connections which is a admirable feature..Version: 2.20.0
✓ Every Home Should Have OneI was fortunate enough to grab this must-have Smart Thermometer for super cheap since I’m an extreme couponer. Even if I didn’t have any coupons, I’d pay whatever to own this much needed device during an on-going pandemic. I believe every home should have one as it literally does all the tracking for us from having each family member’s own account, to logging every temperature scan (with time attached) including symptoms during scan, medical advice/suggestions until you see a Dr, a history chart for the dr, scheduled alerts to take meds, and then ( BEST PART OF ALL) informs you if there is a Covid-19 and/or Flu rise/decline in your local area!!! Again, this is why I feel every home should own one GO BUY ONE TODAY! You’ll thank me later 😄.Version: 2.20.0
✓ Kinsa for the win!About 5 years ago Kinsa reached out to our district school nurses so handful of campuses can test out Kinda thermometers. They gave $20 thermometers for interested families for free! It was such an amazing offer! The purpose started out to track flu cases in schools and than covid rolled around and became even more helpful for school nurses to track grade levels of numbers ill students with fevers. Parents used thermometers and connected their childs profile to a campus and we had a good idea of not any names but numbers per grade level who may be ill. Love love love Kinsa and have purchased multiple for friends and families since than. I highly recommend this thermometer and love the app on both a parent and school nurse side!.Version: 3.5.0
✓ Above & BeyondThis is one of the best apps I’ve had the joy of using. I’ve had connectivity issues with the hardware, but the software more than goes above and beyond. It’s not riddles with ads like other apps. It gives helpful tips and suggestions when ever it can. This is what a health app should be!!! Best of all, you don’t need the hardware to have this app be useful. I look forward to seeing future products from this company. Thank you for making your products so helpful!!.Version: 2.11.0
✓ Almost perfectThis app works really well, for the most part. And the smart devices are affordable and generally work pretty well. The app interface is pretty good too. Intuitive, simple, does what it needs to do. My only complaint is that the app does not remember what medications you’ve been taking. The whole system is clearly designed to be a cold/short-term sickness manager. It’s not for tracking long-term medications. And that’s good. Except it means that you’re going to be taking Tylenol every six hours and Mucinex every 12 hours and DayQuil or whatever periodically over the course of five or six days and the app does not provide any kind of quick entry to log medications that you have already been taking. It just makes logging medication’s kind of tedious, and that’s a shame because it’s exactly the kind of simple tracker that you need when you’re sick, but sometimes a little too tedious to keep up with… when you’re sick. I think it would be great if the app just had a simple medication history you could pick from. If the app had that feature I would easily rated five stars..Version: 3.3.0
✓ Back on trackUntil today everything was just fine, but downloaded new version 2.26.0 not working- login take eternity without any success, thanks to fast new update ver. 2.26.1 all is working well, thanks.Version: 2.26.1
✓ Amazing and gives good adviceKinsa helped me take care of my special-needs brother while he was/is going through his sickness. They send emails offering advice with remedies/ when you should contact a doctor or not. The remedies work very well for normal people, but my advice is to use your discretion if your “patient” has a special condition. Make sure the remedies are safe for your special-needs child. Other than that, the app is a 10/10 :) also love the way they incorporate the patients age..Version: 2.9.1
✓ Temperature won’t sync to appI opened the old app this morning to find that I needed this new app. Downloaded and created an account, connected my thermometer. But, when I go to take a temp, it will not sync to the app. It just shows the prompt “turn your thermometer on and press the big button” and asks which profile to save it to. It never saves. I have removed the thermometer and reconnected twice with no luck. I’m very disappointed because I loved being able to track temps with the old app and I love my thermometer. I just want to be able to keep up with temperatures like I used to be able to. **EDITED TO ADD** As of this evening, the app is connecting to my thermometer as it should. I updated my rating to reflect and want to note that I am happy with the app now..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Wonderful and easy to useI downloaded this app to go with the smart thermometer I got and it has been fantastic to keep track of my family’s temperatures and other health statuses. I’ve been using it to mark down medicine usage as well, which my only complaint is there is no “frequently used medicines” to quick add medicine. Having to type in medicines each time is kind of a hassle, but it does still keep all the information all in one place. A memory feature would make this app practically perfect though!.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Best thermometer ever invented!I have been having a hard time keeping track of my two daughter’s fevers over the past few days. I was using an ear thermometer that always requires checking both ears because of its inconsistent readings. My kids were having higher temps, 103 and 104 and I wanted something oral to be more accurate. I found this thermometer at Walmart and was able to get it within a few hours. I downloaded the app and paired it with my phone and gave it a try and wow, so easy to use!! I absolutely love how it saves the temps with the time under each profile. It also allows you to enter when and what meds were given and you can set notifications to recheck temps. When I entered additional symptoms that my daughter was having, it gave really good recommendations of what to do. I also received an email with further recommendations. I am a nurse, so I was impressed at the relevance and accuracy of the advice given. I wish I would have known about this sooner! Best $25 spent!!.Version: 2.22.0
