### 5/5 — Extremely helpful, makes things easy

*2026-07-08*

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.

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Excellent!!

*2026-07-07*

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🙏🏼😄

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-02*

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.

**Developer response:** 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.

### 5/5 — I’m impressed…but early

*2026-06-15*

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.

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Everything that you want

*2026-06-04*

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.

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Helpful for my parents and kids

*2026-05-29*

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.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2026-05-23*

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!

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

### 5/5 — Easy to Understand

*2026-05-20*

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!

**Developer response:** 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.

### 5/5 — Great for myself and aging parents

*2026-05-19*

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.

**Developer response:** 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.

### 5/5 — Amazing for health

*2026-05-11*

Such a great healthcare app for me and my family

### 5/5 — Care Coordination Goals

*2026-05-03*

Wonderful app! Helps me remember my doctors recommendations without having to write it all down!

**Developer response:** Not having to write everything down yourself, and using Kin to remember the doctor's recommendations, is exactly the goal. So glad it's working for you.

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2026-04-30*

Heard about this from a friend who is also going through a challenging medical issue. This app has really helped me to understand more of what the doctor is saying and being able to share it with my family.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad Kin is helping you understand more of what's discussed at your visits and keep your family in the loop.

### 5/5 — Game changer for healthcare

*2026-04-26*

Pretty much every time I go to the doctor, I get valuable advice. Which I then forget. Either they tell me something or they hand me a piece of paper or send me an email - it’s all great until I lose it or forget about it. With Kin, I can capture everything my doctor says and have it organized and available whenever I need it. Plus, I can share it with family, which has been a game changer for my parents. This is AI for patients done right.

**Developer response:** We love that Kin is helping you hold onto what matters from each visit, and that sharing it with your parents has made things easier for the whole family. Stories like yours are exactly why we built Kin. Thanks for being part of it!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-04-25*

I’ve started using this for my own visits and also for my parents’ doctor appointments. Super useful for keeping track of care, and really easy to use.

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2026-04-25*

Extremely helpful for all doctor visits. I can remember things that otherwise are forgotten. I can understand confusing instructions. Have used for PT sessions and therapy in addition to my more medical doctor visits. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Really easy to use

*2026-04-24*

Kin is really easy to use and the user interface is smooth. Love the questions it recommends for my next doctor visit.

**Developer response:** Glad the questions Kin suggests ahead of your next visit are coming in handy. Thanks for the kind words!

### 5/5 — Game changer for our family

*2026-04-24*

Honestly Kin has been a game changer. Before I’d be scrambling to take notes during appointments, asking the doctor how to spell things, then googling medical jargon afterward trying to piece together what was actually said. Now I just have it all. Everything discussed, right at my fingertips.

It’s been especially helpful for my daughter’s appointments, now I can share summary notes and action items with my husband after so we’re both on the same page, instead of me trying to recap from memory hours later. Helps alleviate the mental load. And in the moment I’m actually present with the doctor, not half-listening while I write.

**Developer response:** We're so glad Kin is helping you be present during doctor's appointments. Thank you for letting us be part of your family's care.

### 5/5 — Just what patients need...

*2026-04-24*

As a provider in this modern health care strata, there's an increasing amount of data and touchpoints in care which patients must navigate. This solution allows for visits to be intentional and patient-centered! 

You'd be surprised how much patient hangs on to a provider's words, and Kin provides the 360 solutions to connect all the dots.

**Developer response:** Thank you, this means a lot coming from a provider. Kin is built to support the visits you and your patients already have, not to get in the way of them. We're grateful for clinicians like you helping patients get more out of their care.

### 5/5 — Awesome for patients

*2026-04-24*

This platform is a great for patient access to their own healthcare. It is so hard to communicate with family and through multiple health systems. This simplifies the process and increases access to care. Must have for families!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review! Making it easier to stay connected with family and across different providers is exactly what we set out to do.

### 1/5 — Don’t record before reading this

*2026-05-24*

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.

**Developer response:** Hey Goltata,

We totally understand your concern around your private health data. Kin is made by a passionate team and founded by doctors who take your security seriously. You can view our security policy here: https://www.meetkin.com/trust

We hope this helps answer your questions!

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2026-08-20*

I have some memory and attention issue so I stress 24/7 about forgetting things. This helped so much and organized everything into easy to understand and follow steps. Try it. You will not be sorry. I have never been so impressed. This reminded me of at least three action steps I had already forgotten immediately following my appointment. ♡

**Developer response:** We're so glad Kin helped you hold onto those action steps right after your appointment, that's exactly what we hope for. Thanks for the kind words, and welcome to Kin!

### 5/5 — One of the most useful apps I have

*2026-08-14*

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.

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Amazing application!

*2026-08-13*

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!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing this! We know a lot can happen during a doctor visit, and we're so glad Kin is helping you catch every detail and keep things organized. Thank you for trusting us with something so important, we're honored to help.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-08-11*

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.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, this made our day! We're so glad Kin is helping you keep track of what your doctor tells you, and yes, it's free for you and everyone you share it with. Thanks again for the kind words!

### 5/5 — Best app! So helpful!

*2026-08-03*

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!!

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Very useful app.

*2026-07-31*

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.

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Too Good To Be True?

*2026-07-29*

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!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, this made our day! We're so glad Kin is helping you keep track of what your doctor tells you, and yes, it's free for you and everyone you share it with. Thanks again for the kind words!

### 5/5 — Sleep Doctor Visit

*2026-07-15*

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!

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Great app for family

*2026-07-11*

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

**Developer response:** Yes!! Kin is built for you and your loved ones

### 5/5 — First visit

*2026-07-09*

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.

**Developer response:** 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!
