I received the Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer through the weeSpring Parent Panel. This is a perfect product for our parent panel. it's designed to make parents' lives easier, in particular when you're facing a sick kI'do. As the Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer arrived in my mailbox during prime cold and flu season, I have already had several opportunities to test it out. While it isn?t second nature that your thermometer would require downloading an app, the Kinsa app was a breeze to locate, download, and use. I love the idea that it tracks temperature readings and symptoms for you. With three school age chI'dren (and all the germs that come with that!) it's challenging to keep everything straight when the doctor asks for the scoop. Having it all saved to the app made it'simple to provide an accurate report. The Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer is also easy to use. What I heard the word ?app? I was worrI'd my babysitter or the kids? less than tech savvy grandmothers wouldn't know how to get an accurate read but the Thermometer also works without the app as well. The only tricky aspect for us was that the Thermometer required us to make several attempts, which isn?t necessarily easy with a 5 year old who doesn't feel great. We received an Error message and kept trying until a reading appeared. Overall I'm very happy with the Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer and would recommend it to friends!

After a hellacious few days of sickness and fighting having their temperature taken, my kids were excited to try the Kinsa thermometer. We all loved the flexible shaft, making it a lot more comfortable for my 2yo to hold in her mouth. I'downloaded the app, which was easy to do if you've ever downloaded an app before. Setting up my profile and adding family members was a breeze. I loved they once a temperature was read, the app asked for other symptoms and suggested next steps based on the profile of the person whose temp was being read. My only complaint is that the app doesn't sync across multiple devices. I'downloaded it to my phone and my iPad. The app only "works" on whichever device is Bluetooth connected to the thermometer. I'd love to see a feature where the thermometer and app are linked so that I'd receive notifications on my other devices when it was being used, and also the results of the reading. I would 100% recommend this thermometer to my family and friends. it's easy to set up, easy to use and has a handy little storage bag. It also fits the disposable thermometer covers which are a must if you have more than one kid! Thank you, weeSpring Parent Panel, for giving me the chance to use and review this thermometer for free!

We have a family with four kids and the Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer is my new favorite thermometer. Before trying the Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer, we have been using a thermometer that reads temperatures on the forehead. One aspect of the Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer I like is that it has a flexible, rubber like end so if your chI'd bit's on the thermometer, you do not have to worry about it breaking. My favorite aspect about this thermometer is the app that works with the Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer. The app is super easy to use and I was able to add all six members of our family very easily and quickly. The app allows you to keep track of when anyone has a fever, any symptoms, the timing of any medication given and when to give medicine next. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product.

Our family was happy to receive and review the Kinsa Quick Care Thermometer as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. I'd always struggled with fI'ding a good thermometer. They're not something we use every day, but when a family with 3 chI'dren does need one- a reliable thermometer is a necessity! We are fI'ding the Kinsa Quick Care to be dependable & surprisingly, fun! I'downloaded the easy to use app & then everyone in the family was excited to try it out. As a parent, I appreciate having a profile in the app for each family member. I see this as a great resource to track a fever. We've had a couple of different thermometers over the years but I'm happy to have the Kinsa replace them.

I received this thermometer from the weeSpring Parent Panel. My preference is for temporal artery (forehead) thermometers, but I gave this one a try. There was no trouble setting up the thermometer with the app, and the oral temperature I took was accurate. The app is easy to use and provides a lot of information, so it would be great for new parents'who are unsure about the medical aspect of parenting. However, I noticed that because I selected shortness of breath as a symptom (I have asthma), it automatically suggested that I go to the ER. When I removed shortness of breath from symptoms, it told me to stay home and rest. Because the app is unable to account for pre-existing conditions such as asthma, the medical suggestions are generalized enough to be unhelpful to an experienced parent who just wants to know her kid's temperature. I will not be keeping this thermometer, but I would recommend it to a skittish new mom.

On its face and I think for most parents' this would be a great addition to the household medicine cabinet. I love the ability to track information on my phone, have history and notes available if we go to the doctor (and not needing to be pulled from what is likely a sleep deprived memory), and all the other great features it offers. Our test (thermometer provided to us for free from WeeSpring for an unbiased review), however, did not go as hoped or planned. Neither of my stubborn yet adorable chI'dren would cooperate long enough to take an accurate reading or use the thermometer. Temperature-taking has been an issue for us since they were infants, and now at ages 4 & 7, I still struggle with this at home. For parents'whose chlldren will cooperate, I'definitely recommend this and think it's got good potential to help track information. The thermometer itself seems to be high quality, easy to read, and durable, with good storage features. I have enjoyed the app itself and plan to continue to use that, even without being able to take advantage of the thermometer/temperature readings and automatic logging with my kids. In short, the app itself is worth a download for sure, and if you can fI'd the thermometer that works for your family, I would definitely recommend.

I really enjoy this thermometer! it'shows a reading super quick for your squI'my kids. I feel its more accurate that the ear one also. I love the app because not only can you take a normal temp, but if there is a fever you can watch for certain things. It also sends you notifications asking how that chI'd is feeling. Really well designed it think. I would totally recommend this to any mom out there. Also you do not have to use the app to use this which is really nice also. It will work as a normal thermometer without it. The app is super easy to use, and you also can make profiles for each member of your family. Thank you weeSpring Parent Panel to allow me to review this product.

I'm so picky when it comes to a good thermometer for my family. I've trI'd a bunch and end up not liking them because of it not being accurate. My friend mentioned how she uses a Kinsa for her kids and how it'syncs to your phone! I was looking to buy a Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer and one shows up in my mailbox thanks to weeSpring Parent Panel. Talk about perfect timing! The set up is so easy. I added the app to my phone and I was able to create a profile for each family member which is awesome. Before the app I was tracking the temperatures on my phone notepad so I can'tell the Doctor details. The Kinsa QuickCare took my daughter's temp very quick and to keep her distracted from moving too much the app showed bubbles being popped with a countdown. It was a cute distraction and my favorite part! After the temperature logged it will give you helpful suggestions: Let your chI'd rest and give plenty of fluids or call your doctor I'mediately or if your chI'd is uncomfortable give acetaminophen or ibuprofen. I can also log in medicine dosage to keep track of. You can log in symptoms or illness diagnosis as well which is super helpful. The remI'der alert is super helpful especI'lly at night when you are too tired to set up an alarm yourself. Overall, we love this product and would recommend it to friends and family.
