### 2/5 — Barely works

*2025-04-25, version 2.1.1*

Over complicated and non-intuitive, this device is just a pain in the neck more than anything. It works when it wants to work, which is almost never. I

### 2/5 — What the heck

*2025-04-12, version 2.1.1*

I just reinstalled the app and it won't send me my password, please fix it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-03-25, version 2.1.1*

This app is terrible, it never works, app times out and closes out and after taking a temp it doesn’t come up on my phone.

### 1/5 — Don’t work with iPhone 16

*2025-01-17, version 2.1.1*

The thermometer isn’t compatible with new Bluetooth. I had to use an old iPad to get it setup. A terrible design that you have to connect to the app before taking a temperature, it will become a brick once I don’t have an old enough device for it to connect to.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2025-01-09, version 2.1.1*

The purpose of the app is to assign temperature to family members. However, the app does not allow you to add family members that is broken with a glitch

### 1/5 — Happy Until Recently

*2024-12-23, version 2.1.1*

UPDATE:
Still having issues. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled and now I can’t sign in. I keep getting a message saying there is a JSON error. So frustrating. 

We’ve been using the Withings thermometer for almost a year now. I’ve been so happy with how easy it is to keep track of my kids temperatures when they’re sick. However, as of a month or so ago the app has stopped bringing in the temperature readings and I can no longer find the unassigned readings / assign them to a family member. I still get the notifications through my phone and Apple Watch, but they’re not being added to the timelines. I’ve looked in all the settings and can’t find anything. Now that I’ve come here to review I’m even more confused since it seems there hasn’t been an update to the app for several years. Why did this app just stop working if nothing has changed.

### 1/5 — Can’t create account - doesn’t say why

*2024-12-20, version 2.1.1*

Does not allow me to create an account. Does not say why. It says something went wrong. An error occurred (534). 

Who writes software that displays cryptic error codes? Pathetic.

### 1/5 — Why does the Company require login to take a temperature?

*2024-11-06, version 2.1.1*

The device control interface may be the very worst I’ve ever seen. The app is as buggy to the point of often unusable.  Not ideal when you have a person sick and need something as sim)le and reliable as you know, a thermometer?

If it works as needed, when you need it, you’re in good luck.

### 1/5 — Lien courriel

*2024-11-05, version 2.1.1*

Mot de passe oublié: l’application ne reconnaît pas le lien courriel: ce bogue est là depuis des années

### 1/5 — Can no longer sign in

*2024-09-19, version 2.1.1*

Was prompted to sign in under last upgrade. Says wrong password. When selecting reset password it gives an error code.

### 1/5 — No longer works!

*2024-08-31, version 2.1.1*

Stopped working…AGAIN!

### 1/5 — WRONG APP

*2024-08-19, version 2.1.1*

The correct one is Withings Health Mate.

This Thermo one is very much outdated, and will not sync properly to anything.

### 2/5 — I’m not having a n easy time

*2024-07-28, version 2.1.1*

Sort of tricky difficult to add a new person difficult to change the avatar

### 1/5 — App is buggy

*2024-07-21, version 2.1.1*

I was excited to get this thermometer but the app is horrible. It was a little concerning when I was trying to set up profiles. It keeps telling me something was wrong after the avatar choosing step. So I closed the app and log back in, apparently the error messages was false alarms - I saw multiple family member profiles created because I can’t proceed after the avatar choosing steps.

But the most disappointing thing was yet to come. I wanted to check my early temperature taken because it failed to sync with apple health app as it was supposed to. I opened up the app, tapped on the family profile, and the app crashed on my 17.5.1 system. I tried multiple times, and none of the attempts were not crashing. I couldn’t get to my temperature reading no matter how hard I tried. I even restarted my phone.

The thermometer is a good product but the smart feature can’t even work for a day. Please fix the bugs and optimize your app.

### 3/5 — Clunky

*2024-06-15, version 2.1.1*

I tried to add my son multiple times and at the stage of the avatar, i hit next and it says error. I tried again. Again. Closed the app. Tried again. Then I go into moments and I see it has been added. Not sure what’s going on but maybe hold off putting the app out till you test things out and work out kinks and bugs. An/or release updates. Thx for letting me share my opinion.

### 1/5 — Device hardly works when you need it the most

*2024-06-01, version 2.1.1*

Device is great when it works which is almost never.

### 4/5 — Dark Mode

*2024-05-15, version 2.1.1*

I would give this App a 5-Star if it offers a Dark Mode. The App seems a bit outdated.

### 1/5 — Can’t get an account set up.

*2024-04-18, version 2.1.1*

I’ve tried several times and it says something went wrong an error occurred (24)

### 1/5 — Not correct reading

*2025-09-17, version 2.1.1*

Reading is not correct
I tried on family memeber with two different readers. This shows 35.1 when really is 36.4

### 1/5 — No working

*2025-09-08, version 2.1.1*

Buy this as it supposed to feed in my phone app and I’m back adding manually again!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2025-08-28, version 2.1.1*

I bought this specifically to integrate with Apple Health. 
The IOS app is incredibly clunky and frustrating. The online help is dated and does not always match the app layout. 
I spent over an hour trying to get the thermo device to work with the app and never got it to feed data to Apple Health. 
The online help to perform a factory reset did not match the format of the app. 
I think the app has not been updated to work with IOS16. 
Sorry. I wanted it to work. 
I’m an electrical engineer and have worked several years in IT. I know what I’m doing.
I gave up. Life is too short.

### 1/5 — Impossible to sign in or sing up

*2025-08-21, version 2.1.1*

Why would they move it out of the main Withings app to start with

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2025-07-09, version 2.1.1*

Save yourself the headache and don’t bother with the app, it was a pain to set up two years ago and isn’t working at all now, the thermometer works fine without it.
All your loosing is the ability to track temps on the phone, ITS NOT WORTH IT just use a pen and paper or the notes app.

### 1/5 — Defunct, install Withings.

*2025-05-20, version 2.1.1*

I am unsure why Withings has not removed this app entirely, it hasn't updated in four years, and cannot be signed into anymore.

They moved the thermo function into the Withings App, I didn't know that actually happened until tonight.

### 1/5 — No communication between device and app

*2025-05-09, version 2.1.1*

You would think that the app would capture all the  measurements I’ve made the last two days, but there is only one measurement. Plus, the app does not handshake with the main Withings app. The whole point of Withings is to keep a digital record.

### 1/5 — Issue After Changing the Batteries

*2025-05-04, version 2.1.1*

Super frustrated with the app. I’ve had the Thermo for 4 years and have only just had to change the batteries. With fresh batteries, I’m having to go through the setup process again, which requires the app sign-in. I download the app and I’m unable to reset my password - keep getting an error message that the app is unable to reset my password at this time. This was a very pricey thermometer when I bought it and am disappointed with the quality of the technology.

### 1/5 — Why is this still in the store?

*2025-04-09, version 2.1.1*

Withings stopped updating this app 4 years ago and discontinued support for the app 2 years ago. Did they lose the password to the Apple Developer account? Why else is this still available in the App Store?

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2025-04-06, version 2.1.1*

Unable to add family members. Come back with JSON error every time.

### 5/5 — Best app!

*2024-07-16, version 2.1.1*

Nothing like this app. Works so well, keeps everything so accurate and organized!

### 5/5 — It’s a great app, but …

*2024-04-04, version 2.1.1*

This app was easy to set up and it was easy install my Thermo, but why do I have to “assign” my readings when I’m the only user?

Your app developer could use an IF test, for example, if user count >1 run the “assign to” routine ELSE add readings to default user.

It’s just a nuisance because it integrates perfectly with my Apple Health and the Withings app.

### 5/5 — Great medicine fever tracker

*2023-12-10, version 2.1.1*

I love this thermometer and the app. I can input medicine easily and you just scan their forehead and can then select the family member it applies too. Great when multiple people are sick and you need help keeping track.

### 5/5 — Happy

*2023-02-24, version 2.1.1*

Am happy with themo!

### 5/5 — Glitchy

*2023-02-21, version 2.1.1*

Was a really good way to track temperature of my kids, symptoms, and medication. Now however, the temperature still synchronises ok, but the medication and symptoms sync doesn’t work reliably. Which is actually quite dangerous if you’re trying to know whether you can give another dose and based on the record in Thermo which may not anymore be accurate. We used to use it across myself and my wife so we both knew what was dosed and when. Now we’re back to using a shared Google sheet.

Don’t rely on this app anymore for that.  It needs an update and to be more reliable.

### 5/5 — Shame it won’t work after May 2023

*2022-10-22, version 2.1.1*

A reliable app but won’t work after May 2023.Transferring to Healthmate that’s fine however healthmate doesn’t allow temperature to sync with apple health although this app does as a matter of course.Hopefully by May 2023 developers will have fixed.This has been said many times for many apps “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!!”

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-07-28, version 2.1.1*

App fonctionne très bien.
Températures explique

### 5/5 — Nice way to keep track

*2022-04-05, version 2.1.1*

My daughter would routinely have low body temperature and my former dr would disregard it. It was a great way for me to track and even share with the dr.  It’s simple.

### 5/5 — Very convenient and reliable

*2022-02-26, version 2.1.1*

I have been using to measure the temperature of my father. I like both the hardware and the app. A very convenient way to keep track of the temperature.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-01-20, version 2.1.1*

Love the Thermo
