Can we add a diagnosis option
I use the Kinsa thermometer frequently and my child has frequent Urinary tract infections. I would love the option to track uti symptoms and to also put the diagnosis of uti after we get a diagnosis from the doctor to put the other families attached to the school at ease that it isn’t something contagious going around. Plus to help me be able to keep a record of UTIs for the pediatric urologist. I think other children get them too!Show lessSoccer Andi
Local illness tracking less useful
Was surprised a couple of days ago when I opened the app, did and recorded by daily temp check and then went to look at my local illness tracking. What had been a useful 180 degree colored arc with percentages noted had been reduced to a single narrow colored line with no percentage indications. The line is small, difficult to read and provides far less information for those of us who have used the Kinsa thermometer daily to track Covid. Very disappointing. Went from 5 stars to 2.Show lessCwps
Every Home Should Have One
I 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 😄Show lessHippiGin
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.Show lessOatster42
Above & Beyond
This 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!!Show lessSinbuju
amazing and gives good advice
kinsa 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.Show lessasawa ni zech
Inaccurate
Nothing is really wrong with the app aside from not connecting to my thermometer. I had the original kinsa stick thermometer and liked it so I decided to upgrade to the ear thermometer. It won’t connect to my app. I have done all types of stuff even made sure Bluetooth was on and it had fresh batteries. My phone won’t event pick up the bluetooth at all. It will pop up and ask to connect then when you choose to connect a message pops up saying it couldn’t connect and to contact support. Also every time we have used it it seems to be off and give low readings. We have two ear thermometer and this one says 97.7 and then when I use my braun ear thermometer it will be in the 98’s. The braun is more accurate and our go to but I purchased this to keep in our diaper bag and so that it could help us avoid manually inputting info into apps.Show lessMF0405

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.Show lessJulie in San Antonio
Documents everything
So 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.Show lessslarkoo
Wonderful and easy to use
I 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!Show lessCarrie (west)
