Kinsa Smart Thermometer for Android
Works everytime with my LG G5, so far we find it very useful. My phone has Nougat and doesn't cause an issue this far.
My two year old actually wants to take her temperature! The app has s bubbie pop game while it's reading a temperature that she loves. Chat with advice comes up after the reading which is a great peace of mind. Every mom should have one. The negative reviews seem to be from people who don't have the right phone for it. So please ignore the rating, it's a great app.
Bought this product so it could be used with whatever device the babysitter/grandparents had. I've had it a year, and now not not working. I've spent the better part of an hour trying to set it up and nothing. Gone through the diagnostic process multiple times, gone to the actual website and all I'm figuring is I don't have the "right phone" to support the thermometer. When you have a child with a chronic illness and a product you purchase to monitor things stops working it's irritating!
Doesn't work with my phone. I kept hoping an update would fix it. What a waste. Cool concept.
I can't get it to read the smart stick on my S7. During setup, it does the first step but then it won't read just the stick to finish setup. I had to put it on my husband's S4 to use it.
I have to recalibrate the stick every time I want to take my kids temperature. It's getting ridiculous and I'm about ready to throw it away....
Thermometer really inconsistent. Sometimes it reads it going into phone most times doesn't work.
Love the app, possible to add in logins so multiple devices can record temps? Would like to sync for Mom and Dad.
Works great on my s6 and s7. But it can't find the thermometer on my s8
I have an infant, and we bought this because we liked that we could use our phones and keep track of his readings. Well, it takes FOREVER to get it to work. I have to try and plug in the thermometer a dozen times before it senses it. This is so obnoxious to deal with when you have a wiggly baby squirming around. I'm regretting spending the money.
Stopped working on samsung and motoz end of April. Hoping for an update to fix asap
Used to work perfect until my Samsung did an update to 7.0 and now it doesn't work at all , UNSATISFIED I don't recommend this product, I thought I was going to take my temperature tonight, guess I'll have to go purchase a real working thermometer!! SMH
Why is this not working on the samsung galaxy s7 edge????
You can keep track of the families temp. Very useful
Works perfect on Samsung s8
You have to use the white cord during install and calibration after nougat if you have a Galaxy 7. Problem solved. App works great. Temps are accurate. It would he nice ofnthey coukd release an updaye for theor app the fic the hoccups woth the new android OS update.
It works well for me for the most part. There is a mildly annoying thing that happens: I seem to regularly have to setup my thermometer as a new device, as though the app has forgotten it. It's not a major problem since I usually have the thermometer, cord, and calibration plug all together.
Well it was working great and loved it but now not even a year later, the app can't find the thermometer. I've tried everything but it seems like it can't connect properly in my phone anymore. Either my phones fault or kinsa, either way can't use it anymore.
Cannot calibrate this at all for the Samsung Galaxy S 7, tried everything on the troubleshooting page, the white cord and even the extension. Nothing works. If you know it does not work with the S7, do not put that it is comparable. Apparently, I'm not the only one and you also know that there are issues. Regular thermometers at least don't take 30minutes to troubleshoot.
The set up does not work. I've tried several times on different phones. This thermometer has sat in the drawer useless for months. The app is a great idea. I wish it did what it was supposed to do.
Can't get it to install tried using the black cord an it says volume balance to far in one direction. Its set right but wont work no matter what I do tried the white cord an tells me to use the black one. Trying on a LG g6
Highly unreliable setup and detection. It stopped working on my S7 edge where I had set it up initially. Why do I need to go thru setup over time? Waste of money. 1 degree plus F variation from normal thermometer. I was happy to know about tech, but disappointed with the product. I am back to the regular thermometer.
Pathetic! Don't throw junk on a market in which we depend on for hopes persons will not return and you can steal out money. Spent 30 minutes going in circles for what you guys call a 'simple' fix. The diagnostic report... joke! You're welcome for providing an error report but where is the information on a solution for.... you know... us consumers? Fantastic idea... Absolutely poor quality assurance. Returning tomorrow!
Very poor product/app. Constant connection issues and problems with audio configuration. Product never reached usable state before app was uninstalled and product was given away. Completely disappointed.
App full of bugs along with hardware, incessantly asks you to plug in the thermometer while it's plugged in. Their workaround did not work.
I must have gotten a lemon because my device seems to work just fine, compared to most other users, with my Samsung S6 Active!
Is the second time that i used and now don't let me calibrate. The first time worked perfectly. I have a galaxy s6 edge.
It's awesome! It keeps you in the loop when you join a your child's school group. Helps keep track of what going around and what to expect.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with the S7 edge
The thermometer can't be found. The thermometer is too hot. Plug in the thermometer. How about you refund my money.
Stopped recording temps
Piece of crap!! Can't set up because of audio errors on my Samsung Galaxy s7. I have turned sound off, mono off, and center balance. Still will not set up. Spent over 30 minutes trying to set up most of the time watching the same video since you can't skip it. Waste of money!!! So disappointing, I was so happy when I found this product now I just feel ripped off!!
Maybe next time I'll remember to look at reviews... your "smart" thermometer isn't connecting to anyone's devices. Seriously, I just wasted 20 dollars. And don't tell me to "contact support" until you get this the fixed on your own.
Worked great until it wouldn't recognize that the thermometer was plugged in. I even re installed the app and it recognized the thermometer for set up, but when I went to take the temp it fills me to plug in the thermometer. I wish this worked consistently because my 3 year old loves popping the bubbles and it makes it so easy to track his temp.
Painful setup. I rather stay old fashion and use a regular thermometer.
Worked great the first time now it won't do anything. I've tried all the troubleshooting suggestions. Nothing. Very disappointed
Very cool! Set up was a piece of cake. It's a great way keep track of your temperature and symptoms for a doctor as well. Multiple profiles can be created for easy tracking. Simple, clever, and very handy.
If it would work again, I would still love it. I have galaxy s7 and i have to set it up everytime I want to use it. Fine..but now it only reads the adapter and not the thermometer nor with the extension on it. So I cannot set it up again. I plugged it in to my sons galaxy s4, which used to be my phone and used Kinsa on it over a year ago, and it worked just fine. I didnt even have to set it up again. Fix so we can use it on newer phones.
Well, I bought this to use on my phone lg v20 (found out it isn't supported which then it shouldn't be available for download for the v20) then tried it on the Galaxy s5 still won't work. Not really seeing the point of me buying this product.

Take this off the app store. This piece of garbage connected to my phone ONCE. Never worked again. I'm reporting to Google as fraudulent.
