Okay I read the reviews, good and bad, before purchasing this thermometer. I like it, but it may not be for everyone. I was getting accurate consistent results.

Set up took me about 2 minutes. After that it's easy to use. It does ask you to set up a profile for each person. I read a user review complain about how this doesn't work if you're trying to quickly scan guests as they would each need a profile. My suggestion: 1 profile lableled "Guest" for everyone outside the home and you'll have a list right there in order of temps taken. If that's how you plan on using it.

Another complaint I've seen is that it works great for a while then has connectivity issues. The Bluetooth signal will always falter before the lights go out. Change the batteries.

I like smart health tech. The app for this isn't going to replace my samsung health app but it all links together which is nice. I'll update this review in the future if I start experiencing issues.

Edit: After about 8 months of regular use the original batteries are still working fine. Never once had a connectivity issue. Still consistently accurate. Never had a single issue and I'm glad I made the purchase.

I bought this to assist in caregiving for a person with dementia and found it not only useful for that purpose but generally at home. Quick and easy to use and have found it quite reliable.

It doesn’t work w/o setting up the app which is kind of a hassle. But it does seem to have an accurate and consistent temperature reading.

More accurate than an oral thermometer, takes almost no time

I started taking daily readings with a digital oral thermometer back during Covid. What a pain! Beep, beep, beep, hold still, oh wait start over, beep, beep, beep, beeeepppp! OK. Then manually enter the number in health app.

I had no idea how much IR health thermometers had advanced. I have an IR gun for general measurements, e.g. temperature of building materials, etc. and I know there's not very accurate. For cooking, I use accurate thermometers including a ribbon probe for pan temperature, so I'm a bit of a thermometer geek. So, I scoff when I see somebody using an IR thermometer to measure a pan!

Well, that drugstore digital oral thermometer was 1.5-2F low. I used to always make jokes with doctors when they take my temperature, saying "I'm a dinosaur", but then they would read 98.6 instead of 96.something, and I'd be like, "must have been the run from the car".

This thermometer is accurate, and corresponds to doctors readings. My health app tells me I've had a sudden change in temperature trend lol.

To use, it's a 2-second swipe across your forehead. That's it. You do swipe back and forth, rather than just aim. (Makes me a bit skeptical about the ones doctors and other were using to screen for admittance during Covid...) It's very clear when the thermometer has "gotten it", and it's immediately reflected in health app. Apparently this swiping past an important artery is a key part of the thermometer's accuracy.

One thing that's not completely clear is the need to scroll down on thermometer display and select a person and tap the button - even if only one person configured.

DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY

We have went through hundreds of dollars in thermometers in my house. I have a central line and I have multiple kids who have different diseases that require constant temperature motnioring, their temperature determines the treatment they need.

We have done ear ones, forehead, temporal, underarm, rectal, you name it, we tried it. Accuracy has been a huge problem for us. I can have a child who is red and sweating and different thermometers would read 96.0 and others 103.7. I could use the same thermometer and get different temps swiping left to right, than right to left.

This one is consistent over 90% of the time. The disclaimer is (as written on their instructions) not always accurate when forehead is sweaty or when the thermoter doesn't have even contact when swiping (also going to fast or two slow can give wonky readings).

I love that I can track temperatures to each child. Easy to do, and it's so quick I rarely don't get it done as I am swiping kids. So I can review readings without having to sort out readings.

The app is easy to use and really convenient for doctor appointments. I do wish I could track it when I'm not around. For example if someone else was using it and I was at the store, it would be nice for real time updates. We like it so much, my mom bought one for her house. So she just sends me screenshots of hers when I'm not home. I'm not aware if we can combine the info into one cohesive report (that would be super cool).

Tech support takes days to respond and the latest update bricked my device

I've used and advocated for Withings (previously Nokia) for years. I loved how easy it was to sync regular tests (i.e. temperature, body scale, etc). However, since they've updated to the new withings app, almost none of my measurements across any of my withings devices have synced. I've been working with support for two months without any progress. Most of the responses were basically starting over with steps that I had already done. I complied as best I could and responded with detailed results. They even asked me to purchase a new thermometer since one of them was out of warranty. So I did, and it won't even connect with the withings app at all. As it was setting up the device, an update ran that bricked the thermometer. This was a fantastic brand at one point. One of my favorites. Now, however, I'm afraid that between spotty tech support and the application issues (not pairing with devices, measurements not recording through the app, and an update that bricked one of my devices), I have to step away from them.

Il desiderio di ogni genitore.. il prodotto si presenta innanzitutto bello e gradevole esteticamente con una linea davvero minimale. È come funzionamento e davvero intuitivo ed immediato, basta solo prendere la mira premere il pulsante e scansionare la fronte dal centro verso l'attaccatura dei capelli dal lato del cuore, il resto è magia.. In un istante compare sul display la temperatura dopo basta sfiorare il display per selezionare l'utente corretto ed in base all'età compare anche un comodo LED che ci dà un monito immediato sulla gravità della situazione, verde se nessun problema è giallo e rosso per gravità maggiori.. il tutto poi comodamente va a sincronizzarsi sulla App per fornirci anche un comodo storico con la possibilità di vedere in base i sintomi la situazione.
In pratica un oggetto del desiderio assolutamente da avere, e di una comodità senza pari.
La pecca potrebbe essere il prezzo ma è proporzionato alle caratteristiche.

Amazing device

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2017

Very easy to set up. I already have withings scale so have a withing account etc. It records temperature incredibly quickly easy to link the reading to a family member. Readings are shown in the withings app along with weight etc, but they also come up as notifications on an iPad and iPhone and show on the device too. Compares well to a standard omron thermometer but in a fraction of the time. I will use both as my immune system is compromised at the moment and need to know if my temp goes above 37.5 but the withings will give me the quickest indication of that.

Stylisches Thermometer mit kinderleichter Handhabung

Reviewed in Germany on November 29, 2016

Ich habe das Thermometer in den vergangenen Tagen bestellt und die Lieferung erfolgte aufgrund von Prime, bereits am folgenden Tag. Die Verpackung war auf den Inhalt abgestimmt und als vollkommene ausreichend zu bezeichnen.
Die Verpackung des Thermometers selber wirkte sehr hochwertig, ein wenig stylisch und ausgefallen, wobei ich darauf keinen Augenmerk lege, sondern vielmehr das Thermometer als solches.
Es war schnell ausgepackt, die App downgeloaded und alle zu messenden Personen angelegt. Die Menüführung ist einfach und selbsterklärend und so konnte die erste Testmessung schon nach einigen Minuten erfolgen. Das Ganze ist als wirklich kinderleicht zu betrachten und hat zur Folge, dass meine Tochter, trotz guter Gesundheit, fast täglich eine Messung vornimmt.
Die Qualität des Produktes ist zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt als hochwertig zu bezeichnen, muss sich allerdings noch im täglichen Gebrauch beweisen.
Zum späterer Zeit werde ich meine Beurteilung erweitern, sofern weitere Eindrücke und Erfahrungen vorliegen.

Un gran termómetro que no defraudará

Reviewed in Spain on November 3, 2016

La verdad es que viniendo de termómetros de niños de marcas más reconocidas en España, cansado de su bajo nivel de acierto, de que dé una marca de temperatura, y que lo vuelvas a pasar y que de otra, hasta más de un grado por encima/debajo de la primera medición, decidí probar este. Y la verdad es que muy contento. Muy sencillo de usar, para un bebé, rápido y casi sin fallo al tomar la medición. Bastante preciso, o por lo menos no varía de una medición a otra, y muy aproximada a un termómetro de mercurio de toda la vida. El precio puede ser lo que más tire para atrás de este producto, pero una vez que lo pruebas 1 o 2 veces, y lo necesitas para saber la temperatura de un niño, ese desembolso se olvida casi al momento.

La aplicación es muy sencilla, y se puede llevar un control de la temperatura de toda la familia.

Muy recomendada su compra.

Le meilleur des meilleurs

Reviewed in France on September 28, 2016

Tout simplement le meilleur thermomètre que l'on a pu essayer. Et on a tout essayé, auriculaire, frontal etc... souvent la température changeait de plusieurs degrés entre 2 mesures... ici on a 1 à 2 dixièmes de variation de degré... très précis... et surtout la prise de température est très simple pas besoin de réveiller son enfant... le must pour enfant ou adulte même, le suivi de la température via mobile pour enfin être précis lors des visites médicales et non du 1 ou 2h près... je recommande x 1000... il n'y a pas mieux...

Maj... après 2 mois d'utilisation... toujours très satisfait... au vu de certains commentaires... j'ai effectué plusieurs tests... avec d'autres thermomètres (rectal, frontal etc...) et la température reste très proche de la mesure rectal à 1 ou 2 dixième près... et non 0.5 ou 1° de diffèrence... satisfait de la qualité du produit...
