Misleading reviews

I’m confused why others are having such a hard time. There are many reasons why you have to stay close to baby while monitoring their temperature. First is that the device itself is using a very low energy blue tooth technology as to save battery life and not burn your child. (I personally stay close to my child anyways while they are sick) Second make sure you are reading your directions properly on where to place the device, and hold adhesive patch against skin for 8 minutes. I have a wiggly almost two year old so I add a little bit of medical tape since he can pick at the patch. It’s definitely not a perfect app, but I love being able to be woken up by an alarm when my son’s temperature spikes to 104 like it did last month. Please read your device’s directions well and you should have minimal problems.

Needs range improvements

If your baby is not sleeping in your room, you need a device dedicated to remain within the 10’ range. If I leave the room, I lose connection and I have to go downstairs to reconnect in the middle of the night, rendering the device useless. The idea is great, but the implementation needs work.

Horrible

This app never stays connected. I have to manually refresh the app to see what my child's temp has been running. You would think for as much as I spent on it that it would work. It would be great to get alerts and not just refresh and see your baby's temp was really high through the night.

Need external hardware

Thought it worked with iWatch but you need the thermometer

Accurate temps?!?

The idea of this is phenomenal. But putting an idea into practice is another thing.

Using 3 thermometers to just get an accurate baseline temp against this one and it's a full 2 degrees less than the other two thermometers. Concerning and disappointing at the same time. We've decided to just add 2 degrees to what it's reading and will be looking for a better option tomorrow.

not as good as others

For $50 this device could be smaller or the patches could be bigger. The patch barely fits over the device so it barley stays on my baby's skin. I have to fix and adjust it every time I pick him up. It lifts and it folds so I had to use 3 patches in one day. The app itself kept changing his birthday month and that I had to keep fixing but when I saved his profile it changed months again. Not that happy with this product.

Fix the app

Seriously???! The app won't even stay open. It crashes no matter what I do 2 seconds after I sign in. Tried on iPhone 6 and 7 with iOS 10. It worked fine 2 months ago. You guys charge for a product that is supposed to be dependable during a time of stress (sick infant) check that your app works before releasing the update. This is unacceptable for a medical device. Not a time for beta releases.

Amazing

I find it hard to pay $50 for this device, but it is certainly worth the $10 I paid at goodwill. I definitely recommend

Need accessories and an account

This looks like a great app, but you need to buy accessories to make it work AND must sign up for an account. This is not made clear in the app description.

Waste of time

You need medical equipment to go along with app. A waste of time purchasing if you don't have the equipment.
