Terrible decision to buy
This POS every time we tried to use it wouldn’t work. Blank screen every time. So it’s in the trash can now
Disappointed
Disappointed in Kinsa. I had thought that a Bluetooth thermometer would make my life easier, but it’s proven nothing but challenges. The only redeeming quality is that it keeps record of past temperatures.
I’d leave zero stars if I️ could
I️ have a sick child and all I️ want to do is take their temperature. This is the only thermometer I️ could find in my house at the time. It was given as a gift and has been in the box for a year or so. Now I️ go to use the thermometer for the first time and i have to connect it to Bluetooth, enable tracking on my phone, download an entire app, all before the thermometer will even function? I️ understand the value of sending the data to the phones interface, but how is there not a default option to just use the thermometer the old fashioned way? I️ tried using the thermometer to simply take a temperature and the digital screen literally displayed the word “APP” instead of the temperature of my child. And when frantically trying to set the app up in the middle of the night I️ am getting spammed with “offers” and “deals” for a $399/year subscription for god knows what. I️ JUST WANTED A THERMOMETER! Stop trying to reinvent the wheel with everything. The over-reliance on “smart technology” will be the undoing of our society.

why do i need an app for a thermometer? RETURNED. couldn’t even take my dads temperature. so insane

Best thermometer ever
This thermometer has been a lifesaver whilst having multiple kids sick at the same time. It helps you keep track of everything- medicine temperature, symptoms. It’s amazing. Everything is automatically logged so you don’t have to keep track yourself or try to remember. This is a must have thermometer for Moms.

Best thermometer!!
Thermometer works great and app is so helpful.
Poor design
The app won’t let me record my temperature if I don’t have an Internet connection. WTH?
Doesn’t work
Ear thermometer is incorrectly showing 96. I’ve tested three other thermometers (different brands) and are correctly showing a fever of over 100.
Best thing ever!
If you’re like me that panics when the kids get sick, and get brain fogs every time you need to keep track of their next dose of meds, and want to give every detail of the their symptoms to their doctor … this is for you. I can’t tell you how good this thermometer. As a mom of 4 this has been the best thermometer ever created for moms. You need to buy this.

Worst Possible Product Design
I went to CVS looking for a thermometer and grabbed one off the shelf. The Kinsa thermometer made me download an app to even use it and then I had to spend several minutes troubleshooting connection. The interface was entirely unintuitive so I didn’t even know when it was connected or how to read a temperature. I don’t understand how it’s possible to make such a simple task—reading temperature—so complicated. If I ever see a Kinsa product I will steer clear.

Ridiculous
It’s the middle of the night. Your baby seems hot and sick. You want to take a temperature to see if you need to call a doctor or go to an ER. But before you can, you have to download an app, agree to an end user agreement, create a profile and a user, pair the device with a smartphone, and troubleshoot any of those things that go wrong. Even after the first time, make sure that the parent with the app downloaded and device paired is home and get ready to close pop up adds offering their virtual doctor consults. End stage capitalism at its worst.

Tracking temperature
This app is awesome to track temperature, medication and or symptoms tracker. Can use with multiple kids. It’s awesome, especially if you have more than one child!
Don't force an account
My kid is sick and you want me to sign up for an account before i can figure out how to change it from celsius. Get a grip
Great potential
I love the idea of the app. A few issues I am having are: 1) thermometer not connecting all of the time. When I try to enter the temperature manually, the digits displayed only allow two numbers…and there is a sliding BAR! That I need to scroll to enter the manual temp. So clearly it’s a huge problem that after 10 o can’t see! So I don’t know if I’m at 101 or 102, or 105.5.
Then, once I enter the wrong manual temp…I can’t edit it. If I accidentally had the thermometer connect to the wrong family member I can’t delete the temp from
Their history. So lots of issues that somehow I did not experience when we first got the thermometer. Great potential but too many issues make it frustrating

Requires login. That’s dumb.

App locked tool
This APP and the company behind it require the app to allow there thermometers to work. This is incredibly unethical as it a necessary home care tool and not everyone wants to allow a faceless corporation to know their personal medical information. They claim all sorts of silly functions, but I am will to bet it’s major feature is selling your information.

App is broken
Impossible to login “The operation couldn’t be completed after recent update”.
Latest update broke login
Latest update seems to have broken the app completely. It gets stuck in a “Login” / “Retry” loop and never gets past the error, so I can’t access anything.
It’s also frustrating that logging in is required just to view or record my temperature data. If the cloud service is having issues, I should still be able to access previously saved data and record new temperatures locally. Right now the app becomes unusable without internet.
Please fix the login loop and make offline/local data access the default, with cloud sync as optional.
