About this app

Let Kinsa guide you from the first sign of sickness through recovery and beyond! As seen in Apple’s “Parenthood” commercial, Parents Magazine, USA Today, Good Morning America, The New York Times, CBS This Morning, and more!

KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT
Our care recommendations give you peace of mind with age-specific fever and symptom guidance - so you can know when it’s important to take extra precaution or see a doctor.

REMEMBERS FOR YOU
Easily track temperatures, symptoms and medication for everyone in your family! Remember details such as when symptoms began, how high the fever got, or when to give another dose of medication and share it with another caregiver or your doctor.

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.

We hope your family doesn't get sick, but if they do, we'll be there to help your family feel better faster!

Ratings and reviews

App is absolute garbage. It hardly ever allows you to connect your thermometers and if it does, it doesn't retain them so it never tracks the temperature unless you manually track it which makes all of it useless. I could do that with a cheaper thermometer and my phone. My phone's bluetooth can find the thermometers but their garbage app can't. Then when you try to ask for help, it suddenly "can't read the request" and your message disappears.

So far the app seems to work as expected. One big thing I'd suggest is the option to add your own custom notes on the timeline. For example, my son has respiratory issues, so when he is sick it is extremely important for us to closely monitor his oxygen saturation. It would be great if I could make a note about what percentage his oxygen is within the timeline, so I can monitor if it is going up, down, or maintaining throughout the duration of his illness!

Love my thermometers, but this app is.. bad.. now. Crashes every 5 minutes while running in the background. Looks like it's not compatible with the current Android version, as this is happening to every phone in our fleet. Never rely on an app from a company that sells an item once but promises a companion app for free. They have zero motivation to keep sinking resources into a cost center once they have your money.
