It has a bubble popping game while you're waiting for the temperature to read, which is under a minute and a great distraction for squirmy toddlers. The profiles has Sesame Street characters and my daughter loves it when Elmo talks to her."
"According to my last 5 digital thermometers (oral and ear type), I'm in a constant state of hypothermia and should be dead with a temperature of 94 to 95 F. I've had constant problems with digital thermometers- the biggest issue is that I get readings that are artificially low and undependable, plus the batteries are always dead when I need a thermometer the most. I took him right away to the doctor anyway because he seemed so ill and was stunned to learn his fever was actually 104.5 F. A traditional oral thermometer works, but it takes too long to get a reading when you have a sick kid, plus it's hard for me to see the temperature (especially at night) as I'm getting more far sighted. Kinsa is fully compatible and gives a fast, accurate reading that's easy to see on my iPhone display. I suggest getting it set up for each household member (it can keep track of multiple people) before someone gets sick as setup takes a few minutes."
"It also has an adult feature if you’re less inclined to pop bubbles and hear Elmo lol personally I don’t mind Elmo or the bubbles lol."
"It stores patient history too which is great for multiple sick kids so you can look back and whose temperature you took, and at what time."
"Accurate temperature reading."
"Husband loves the capability to store the information in the app so you can show doctors about the temperature."
"Follow the instructions, download their app and create your families profiles."
"We went back to using the free thermometer given to us when my son was born."
This baby thermometer lets you switch to "Sesame Street Mode" to have Elmo chime in to offer empathy, encouragement and feel-better tips.

The armpit ones take far too long and I have returned three other ear themometers for not being even close to his rectal temps. I can say that this themometer, so far (had it a week now and both kids are battling viruses) is always within .2 of their rectal temps."
"Great product, I never have to guess that perhaps I or my husband has a fever."
"I replaced a Braun 6022 with the Kinsa."
"I have loved all my kinsa smart thermometers, however this is the best i have owned yet!"
"The only thing I would change about this is the design, it's a little bulky compared to other thermometers but then again, other thermometers aren't as cool and high tech as this one."
"I love that there's an app and can keep track of previous readings."
"Pairing the thermometer to the app was easy and I love how you can create a profile for everyone in your family."
"Super easy to connect and I love that you can make profiles for different people when taking temperatures to monitor it."
What’s in the box: Kinsa Smart Stick Thermometer, Kinsa smart stick cable, Setup adapter, How it works manual.

Aside from recording temp on a graph I am not sure this gadget is useful as the data is not shared with Google Fit or another life tracking app but I was pleased I could get it to work."
"Actually works pretty good, compared it to our old school digital thermometer and same temperature registered on both."
"The app is easy to use, and it's great to keep the family's health history all in one place."
"As a new parent, having a thermometer that makes it fun for your child to take his/her temperature makes all of the difference."
"Love how easy it is and the fact my daughter and I can send info back and forth to each other regarding my grandkids!"
"Received this today and no matter how many times I try it will not sync with my phone."
"Software issues caused by upgrading to Android 7.0 are not an issue for Android to fix, fix your APP to be compatible or stop selling the device."
