Temperature data integrates seamlessly with HealthKit and the Health app. WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING “The app tracks and organizes our family’s temps and symptoms and keeps the history. This is a wonderful app for a busy and sleep deprived mom!” “Hands down my favorite feature is that the app gives you suggestions on how to keep your little one comfortable and gives practical advice for a speedy recovery!” “The Kinsa app keeps all my data in one place and makes doctors appointments a breeze…” “We are a family of 6! Kinsa helps us keep track of everyone’s medical situation!” “This has to be one of the best products on the market for families, especially families with little ones!” The free Kinsa app works best with Kinsa's award-winning, pediatrician-recommended QuickCare, QuickScan, and Smart Ear thermometers, available for purchase online and in retail stores across the U.S. If you have an older Smart Stick thermometer that plugs into the headphone jack of your phone, please use the Kinsa Smart Stick app instead.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kinsa at 4.8 against Bluetooth Thermometer's 3.3. Kinsa also leads on ratings volume (45K vs 14) and review sentiment (51% vs 33%). Bluetooth Thermometer's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
