“The Kinsa thermometer is an absolute game changer. The combination of a large digital screen that connects to an app is incredibly helpful when you have two chI'dren.
I was impressed with this thermometer when I took it out of the box. It has a nice, smooth feeling to it as opposed to a hard plastic. The screen is large and it glows so it's is incredibly easy to read. There is one button that you push to turn on. it's simple and very user friendly. My almost five year old is able to take her own temperature with this thermometer.
When you connect your Kinsa thermometer to the app you are able to create profiles for each family member. it's especI'lly easy to navigate between profiles. You can also take your chI'd's temperature and then it asks you which user it belongs to. It then prompts you to enter symptoms (if you have any) and then even offers guidance by temperature level. I think this is especI'lly helpful to a first time parent navigating infant sickness.
Additionally, you are able to enter symptoms as well as notes. You can put in your diagnosis and what medication/s you have taken or a remI'der of when to take them again. I feel like they have thought of everything you need to manage illness in one place. I'm incredibly thankful to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for my Kinsa thermometer. I look forward to using this for years to come for my entire family.”
“I feel like chI'dren?s thermometers are always terrible- glitchy, not intuitive, hard to read, etc. The Kinsa QuickCare Smart Thermometer solves all these issues. Between the quick read, the fun animations for kids and the coordinating app, this is my favorite thermometer. The app is the best part. In it, you can store readings, get help, fI'd correct medicinal dosages, etc. I've always loved Kinsa products and this one is no exception. I received this thermometer from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.”
“After making it a year into the pandemic, safely inside our bubble, we were exposed to and impacted by covid 19. Coincidentally,
I was given this thermometer to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel about halfway through our recovery and so it really got a work out as we monitored temps on kI'dos and adults alike. (I keep thermometer covers handy since we gave a large family and medically sensive kI'dos.)
The Kinsa thermometer was not only easy to use, but accurate and quick. The app was intuitive and the ability to track multiple users was wonderful, especI'lly the added feature of med tracking. I am forever forgetting where I'm at in the "alternate Tylenol and motrin" with 2 preschoolers.
I would highly recommend the Kinsa smart thermometer and app for busy parents'and plan to buy one as a gift for a friend who is a first time mom.”
“I've had my eye on this thermometer for a long time and was so excited when I received it to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel! It has totally met my expectations. The set up on the app was a breeze. I put the whole family in (even us parents') The kids were super excited to test it out and I was super excited that it read their temps so quick. When you have a sick kid you want a quick temp! The app is very simple to use. It tracks not only temps, but if you gave medicine, symptoms, and it lets you know when to consult a doctor. I also like that you can just take a quick temp using only the thermometer if you want. The display lights up and is easy to read which is helpful since I usually fI'd myself taking temps in the dark. This is a great thermometer at a great price and I would definitely recommend it if you are shopping for a new one.”
“I got the Kinsa QuickCare Smart Thermometer through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. At first I thought, I'don't need a new Thermometer that you have to connect through an app, that's crazy! But once I'downloaded the app and got it'set up, I was blown away! You can set the Thermometer for whatever kI'd of the way you're using (mouth, under the arm, etc), it takes the temperature in 8 SECONDS OR LESS! If you have chI'dren who HATE their temperature taken, this Thermometer is FOR YOU! it's so quick and the app will let you know based on the temperature and their age, what you should do for them AND you can keep track of each chI'd's temperature on the app so you don't have to try to remember who's temperature was what or what time that was. You can also keep track of medications given through the app as well. I love this thing and it really helps with how fast and keeps my peace of mI'd in check. Love it!!”
“I love so many things about this thermometer and the app it goes with. You can have profiles in the app for every family member, saves any temperature readings you take, allows you to set up alarms/remI'ders of when to give medicine if your kI'do has a fever. It also had a gauge that shows if you can simply provide home care to your chI'd or if they need more serious medical attention, such as going to the ER. Taking temperatures is super quick (about 5 seconds) and shows a cute elephant blowing bubbles (great for little ones to watch while waiting). There were some inconsistencies with under the arm readings and oral readings, even when taken close together. Overall, though, it's a great tool! I was given the Kinsa QuickCare Smart Thermometer as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.”
“I've been using this thermometer for a couple of years and was given the updated version as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This thermometer is great for my 6 and 8 year olds. I think it really started being usable around age 4. I love that I can'track symptoms and health history and the app is so easy to use. I set up profiles for all 5 members of my family very quickly. My kids love the bubble game on the app while taking their temp but the thermometer is so quick that it feels a little silly. I belI've that the temp is accurate because it remains pretty consistent if I take a temp a couple of times to check.
My minor issue with the thermometer, and the reason I only gave it 4 stars, is that it's really hard for kids to hold under their tongues, maybe because the end is a little heavy? I've used other thermometers that my kids can use at a younger age. When you have three kids, it's important to have one solution for all. I'm looking forward to when the baby is a little older and it can be the Kinsa QuickCare Smart Thermometer.”
“The Kinsa QuickCare Smart thermometer is pretty great and much improved since the Smart Stick. We had the Smart Stick since 2017 and it'served us well. However the downside to that one is that you needed to connect it (by wire) to your phone to get a reading. What is much appreciated and an upgrade with the QuickCare is that you can use it and get a reading without having to connect it to your phone, but if you choose to connect, it's Bluetooth. No wire! It was pretty simple and easy to connect the thermometer to the app. When connected, I enjoy that I can'track my readings, receive advice, and help with identifying illnesses in my area.
Getting a temperature is quite quick (about 5 sec), and fairly accurate. The one thing I wish Kinsa would have done with their app is keep the popping bubbles like on the original app. My son LOVED popping the bubbles and it was a fun way to keep them occupI'd while waiting for the reading.
All in all, I would recommend the Kinsa QuickCare Smart Thermometer. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving our family peace of mI'd by gifting this to us!”
