One of the most useful apps I have

This is truly such an incredible app. I’ve used it for doctors appointments and therapy sessions and it never fails. I love the fact that it transcribes everything and puts the next steps you need to take in bullet points. I have a hard time remembering what we talk about during appointments so this has been truly life changing. I also love the fact that they don’t keep your data and overall it seems like a very safe app. It is also one of the only free transcribers I’ve found. Overall I’m blown away with this app and I cannot recommend it enough.

Isabella, this made our day! We're so glad Kin has been such a big help through your doctor visits and therapy sessions, especially with turning everything into clear next steps. And you're right, we don't hold onto your data longer than we need to. Thanks for the kind review!

Amazing application!

I am a senior citizen who has survived leukemia and a stem cell transplant. My doctors appointments are lengthy and contain so much information that there is much I forget, unfortunately. I just
began using the KIN application for my appointments, and the app is extraordinary! KIN catches everything in detail and summarizes my very complicated appointments beautifully! I love this app!!

I love this app

I’m old. My wife is old. We both have a lot of doctor visits. They are often complicated and are related to us quickly. We sometimes forget complicated instructions. We often don’t understand.
But this app hears everything. It summarizes everything and keeps a record of every appointment. It puts it into a language I can understand.
Please just try it. You will be amazed.

Love Kin. Not only is it extremely helpful for me to stay organized, it’s so helpful for my wife and I to stay organized as a team with our care plans for our kids and family members! 10/10!!

Response from developer

We're so glad Kin is helping you and your wife stay organized as a team across your family's care. That's exactly what we hope Kin can do. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Very useful app.

Although I have only used Kin for one visit so far I have found it very easy to use and I’m hoping that continued this remain as easy. Everything I see so far points to an amazingly helpful app. I’m glad I found it and look forward to using it with all my doctors visits.

Response from developer

We're so glad your first visit with Kin was easy and helpful. We think it'll only get more useful as you keep using it for your appointments. Welcome to Kin, we're glad to have you!

Too Good To Be True?

This app seems too good to be true. I just used it for the first time and I’m amazed at how comprehensive it is. I’m pretty old now and I can’t remember everything my doctor tells me. This app catches it all, and it’s FREE!! To the authors: Thank You!

Sleep Doctor Visit

I used the app for the first time today and it is amazing! It summarized a 45 minute appointment into about three paragraphs. Gave all the important information and what I need to do to follow up. I’m wondering how/when there will be some sort of payment required? So far it’s free but from what I see so far it will be worth paying for, as long as it’s reasonable!

We love that Kin gave you a clear, useful recap right out of the gate. To answer your question, Kin is free for everyone, so there are currently no plans for a paywall. So glad it's already proving valuable for you!

Great app for family

Use it for all of our visits to stay in the loop

Response from developer

Yes!! Kin is built for you and your loved ones

First visit

This was my first opportunity to use Kin and I must say I am very impressed with the recap. I procured my physicians permission to use Kin and he gave me a very enthusiastic yes. I see this as a great tool and a way to be able to relax and confer with my doctor not getting stressed as I might forget something.

Thank you for sharing this! We love that you talked it through with your physician first, and that Kin helped you stay present instead of stressed about missing something. Welcome to Kin!

Extremely helpful, makes things easy

Kin has been a godsend for all of the medical appointments with our newborn. It has been so easy to remain focused while in the appointment, and then recall exactly what the doctor said afterward. The takeaways and tracking have been extremely helpful. It’s made follow-ups and next appointments so much easier.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! We're so glad Kin is helping you stay focused during your newborn's appointments and keeping the follow-ups straight afterward. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing this!

Excellent!!

I couldn’t be more thrilled with an app than with this. It’s invaluable! I have several doctors and am at the age where things get muddled and I can’t remember everything. All I have to do is title each visit with the doctor’s name and set to record. The app actually summarises and then expands each point if necessary. Instructions are given at the end of the visit so you don’t go out of the door wondering what advice you were given as you leave the office. It’s the best thing ever, whether you only go to see the doctor every 3 months or every week. Everything is recorded and ready for your next visit and you never forget anything ever again!!
Thank you so much for this app🙏🏼😄

Juggling several doctors is exactly the kind of thing Kin was built for. We're so glad you're enjoying the app, thanks for using Kin!

Amazing

I have a hard time remembering everything that I am told during a visit but everything is here in black and white! No misunderstandings just the correct info. Everyone needs this app that has a lot of doctor visits.

Response from developer

Thank you for this! Making sure all the information is captured and easy to understand is exactly our goal. So glad Kin is helping with your doctor visits.

I’m impressed…but early

Just downloaded Kin this morning. It was easy to setup and to use.

I’m in the hospital currently and I recorded my first doctors conversation. Later another doctor came in and I easily brought up the previous doctors conversation and shared it with him.

Kin seems to filter out non medical conversations and puts in the critical info very effectively.

So far, so good and the app and service is free.

We're so glad Kin made it easy to share what your first doctor said with your next provider. Keeping everyone on the same page is exactly why we built this. Thank you for letting us help!

Everything that you want

Really really impressed by how much this product changed things for me and my family. I get anxious during doctors visits and always go home not really remembering what I’m supposed to do. It’s great Kin has all the context that i do because it sits in the appointment with me. Also really appreciate their commitment to security and privacy, that’s obviously important here.

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you for sharing this! We're so glad Kin is helping ease the anxiety around appointments and giving you a clear record to walk away with. Privacy and security are core to how we built Kin, so we're glad that comes through too. Thank you for trusting us with something this personal!

Helpful for my parents and kids

Kin has been very helpful in managing the health of both my parents, and my child. The summaries are easy to understand, and sharing with family with one tap is a game changer.

Don’t record before reading this

This app may collect audio recordings and transcripts of private medical appointments, and those conversations may be processed by third-party API providers. Before pressing record, users should know exactly where their doctor-patient conversation goes, what is retained, what is deleted, and how this free, venture-backed app plans to make money.

Kin’s privacy materials raise serious questions. Does Kin delete the original audio after transcription? How long are transcripts, summaries, and backups retained? What exact data does Kin keep after each visit? Can Kin use deidentified or aggregated medical conversation data to improve products, analytics, or future models? Can that data ever be shared, transferred, licensed, sold, or used commercially? What happens to user data if Kin is acquired?

Saying third-party providers are restricted from training general-purpose AI models on user data does not answer these core questions. Doctor visits can include diagnoses, prescriptions, mental health, reproductive health, family history, insurance issues, and other deeply personal information.

The privacy disclosure should be impossible to miss before recording begins: whether the audio leaves the phone, whether outside API providers process it, what is stored, what is deleted, how long data is retained, and what rights Kin claims over deidentified or aggregated health data.

Until those answers are clear, users should be very cautious about recording doctor visits with Kin.

Amazing!!

An amazing product that helps put me at ease when my loved are seeing their doctors, so there is nothing lost in translation! Definitely recommend!

Response from developer

We're glad to hear Kin is helping you and your loved ones. Really appreciate the recommendation!

Easy to Understand

Has made it much easier to navigate the healthcare system with aging parents! Now, all I have is that I remember to use the app at appointments - has made communication between doctors, parents and myself so much easier. I couldn’t recommend an app more!

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing this! We built Kin with families like yours in mind, so everyone involved in a parent's care can stay on the same page. So glad it's making things easier for you and your family.

Great for myself and aging parents

Have used this for myself and went back to the notes to check on prescriptions doctors wrote.

Also great for myself parents when I’m not able to join them.

Response from developer

Being able to check back on what a doctor prescribed, for yourself or for a parent you couldn't be there for, is exactly why we built Kin this way. So glad it's helping your whole family.

Amazing for health

Such a great healthcare app for me and my family
