“I received the Kinsa QuickCare Smart Thermometer as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I'm a mother of 2 young chI'dren and fI'd this thermometer extremely helpful. Temperature reading is very fast with a big bright screen and if that didn't distract the kI'dos already, the app has an elephant with the loading bar that further distracts while waiting for their temp to be read. The thermometer is made out of a flexible silicone and does not need the app to function. The app is very easy to set up, and comes with a good amount of helpful functions including symptom checker, diagnoses, medication remI'ders, etc. which I think is really neat. You are able to save temperatures and other information. I love the follow up props after temperature reading regarding symptoms. I would definitely recommend this product even if you have an existing thermometer especI'lly if you like to self diagnose or overthink sickness symptoms.”
“I'm a busy mom of two young, active chI'dren and I loved this thermometer! I received this thermometer as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It is so fast to get a temperature reading and very easy to use the app. It reliably recorded our temperatures and I was able to save that info to our profiles that I created within the kinsa app to accurately keep track of everything. The kinsa app was actually helpful and super easy to navigate but you are also able to use this thermometer on its own without the app if you don't pair it through bluetooth to your phone. When a family is all sick at the same time, keeping track of temperatures on this app is so much easier. The feature that my kids liked most about this app was the cute elephant that shows up while taking their temps. The best feature about this thermometer for me was how fast it read their temps - no more squI'ming while waiting around! I'definitely recommend this thermometer for other busy parents'who only want peace of mI'd when your kI'dos are sick.”
“First of all, thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me review this product in exchange for a review. Let me just say- this is the thermometer of my dreams! I appreciate that I am still able to get an on-body temp (opposed to a forehead/touch less scan) & it is quick enough to eliminate toddler wiggles & squI'ms. Getting the on body temp quickly eased my mI'd that the temp I was reading was accurate.
The app is the best part of this thermometer. You can make profile for each family member & it not only tracks their temp- but provides advice on what to do based off their age! I fI'd this incredibly helpful. This is an all-around go-to thermometer that needs to be in everyone's home!”
“Very simple to download and get set up on the app. I have several other devices at home that I use strictly through their apps so I'm no stranger to the system. Most thermometers now will temporarily record the last temp taken, but I appreciate that this keeps a permanent record of all the times temps were taken. It also seems to provide further insight should your chI'd's temp start to climb (or get too low). The thermometer itself is not bulky, bendable so my little one can't quite break it just yet, and as I'mentioned before - easy peasy to use. I've found the readings to be accurate so far (in comparing to our other thermometers), so I'm confident in continuing to use this. I'did receive this product from Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review.”
“I tested this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I really enjoyed it! I am an anxious mom when my chI'd is sick and I like to know I am getting an accurate temp reading without upsetting my chI'd too much. This one worked pretty fast and easy. The App is a nice feature for storing health data and understanding trends when she is sick. I like being able to see her historical timeline. The remI'ders are also helpful for medicine doses, etc.”
“I have been very impressed with how user friendly the Kinsa QuickCare Smart Thermometer is. The app set-up was seamless, paired instantly with my thermometer, and took less than five minutes to complete start to finish - including entering all of my family members into the app. I also love how you can distinguish where the temperature is taken; whether it be oral, rectal or under the armpit. The app is incredibly easy to navigate allowing you to switch between family members with ease. One app feature I'did fI'd unnecessary, however, is the option to link to local health data & see local health statistics. I know some may fI'd this useful, but I'decided to opt out as I feel it would be an added level of anxiety on top of dealing with a sick chI'd. As for actually taking a temperature, the thermometer turns on quickly. If you have the app active at the same time, it gives you a quick countdown to when the temperature reading is ready. Though it gives the reading in under ten seconds, this can feel like a lifetime with a wiggling chI'd. This is where it is handy to be able to choose between an oral, rectal or underarm temperature based on which is most appropriate per your situation. I can't recommend this thermometer more highly and think the pros greatly outweigh any drawbacks I found with this thermometer. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me the Kinsa QuickCare Smart Thermometer in exchange for my honest review.”
“We love this thermometer! I'did a lot of research on thermometers before having my baby and ended up going with a basic no-frills oral thermometer. After a nasty case of roseola I freely admit that WAS A BIG MISTAKE. The Kinsa has all of the features I wish we had during that experience: a very precise and accurate reading, able to take readings super quickly, and an intuitive app that tracks all of the temperatures taken and gives recommendations. Our little girl fever spiked up 4 degrees to 103 over the course of a single morning, and it was really difficult for me to remember and relay all of the temps to the nurse over the phone before bringing her in. The Kinsa app would have made the whole experience a lot less stressful, especI'lly as new parents'with a sick little one. We received the thermometer as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but in full honesty will never go back; Kinsa all the way!”
“I recently received the Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer from Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my unbiased review. it's an interesting product that links to your smartphone via Bluetooth for symptom tracking for the entire family, as you are able to create profiles for each family member. Though I found the product to make quick and accurate readings (I ran tests on tap water of various temperatures and compared the readings to my instant read cooking thermometer) I was quite concerned with the app?s privacy policy. The Kinsa app, which is required in order to fully utilize the product, collects and sells your browsing history, your health data (such as temperature, medications taken, and symptoms), your demographics (age & gender), as well as your physical location. Though they claim to anonymize this data, I'm not comfortable having this information collected and sold for me and my family. If this product transformed the way I cared for myself and my family I'might be able to overlook these concerns, but at the end of the day I'm just more comfortable using it as a basic thermometer without connecting it to the app (a task it fulfills quite well!)”
