    This is perfect for taking accurate temps and tracking them. I gave 4 as gifts to my relatives with small children. Love the technology. I love that it is something that you can take with you very easily.

    I was able to set up the thermometer to my iPhone 8 on the first try, however it wouldn’t connect to my husbands 7S. Worked really well for the first few days, but lately I’ve been getting a “low temp” reading even though I’ve taken all the recommended steps to clean and correct the error. I liked that it gives you advice on what to do based on the temp and symptoms

    Love this product. Works great and the bubble pop for the kids is a life saver on your phone. Thank you. Keeps track of all the times you used it, who you used it on... fantastic.

    Easy to setup and use. I love that I don't have to worry about the batteries being dead when I need it since it runs off your smartphone or iPad's battery.

    I bought this thermometer to use together with a forehead thermometer that I don't trust. It's fast and accurate so far. I wish sometimes I didn't had to plug it to my phone but I know without the phone it doesn't work. This also makes the thermometer cheap.

    I really like this thermostat, specially it saves all the temperatures. The only thing I wish it was possible, is that if I could just unplug it from my iphone and use it. Right now it always needs to be plug in to it.

    Just make sure you get the latest version that works with iPhone6. BestBuy.com sells the current model...our local drug stores still had the old version.

    Tested temps and results were consistent with each and seemed accurate for well person temps. Easy to set up app but it is another gadget to keep in inventory of so many other gadgets. The app allows for more than we needed. Great for someone that wants its capabilities but for us a simple digital thermometer is all we need.

    Easy tempature taking

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    When your child is sick it is really hard to keep track of tempatures and what time you took them. Not with this thermometer! The Kinsa helps with that and much more. It gives you three option for check tempature, which include oral under arm and rectal. After you done taking the tempature you are able to save it under your child so they are all in one place on your phone. It also gives your child and little game to play while they are waiting for their tempature to be taken! Another plus is that it came with its own case for storing!! All in all this thermometer takes the pain out of tempature taking its simple to use entertaining to kids and attaches right to your phone, which if your like me is always next to me! I would recommend this for a family thermometer. A big thanks to the weespring parent panel for sending me this to try!

    Not bad. Reads near accuracy. A bit inconvenient for sticking it into the phone and then in the mouth.

    I purchased this item to help keep track of temperatures for the family. I downloaded the app and set up everyone’s profile. Setup of the thermometer was quite easy as there is voice, visual, and reading guidance to guide you step by step. Follow the directions to a t in order not to run into any issues. I have an iPhone X and wasn’t sure if it would be compatible but it is. I was surprised to find it was not compatible with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Anyway, it has proven to be valuable tool in home health care.
