" ... Like call 911, go to the ER, call the doctor first thing in the morning, etc. ... "
" ... Which I probably would've done anyway but it was nice to have that reassurance in calling them. ... "
" ... The real-time guidance based on age and fever reading so you know when to call a doctor or what to do next would have been a sanity check, I think. ... "
" ... The Kinsa told me she has a fever based on her age and to call my doctor immediately based on her doctor immediately. ... "
" ... According to the school, that’s a slight fever and the nurse will call home (ridiculous, I know) so I have to make sure I don’t send her to school even slightly warm. ... "
" ... An added bonus is that depending on your symptoms, it offers advice and how to address them and the ability to call the doctor on the spot - genius! ... "

I don’t understand why the button so small, skinny and hard to press. ... ), the shape of it also makes pressing that weird hard skinny button more difficult to press and hold and hurts my finger tip a bit . ... But the overall shape and that frustrating button really should be redesigned. ... "
" ... My only problem is the On button on the thermometer is somewhat difficult to sometimes push when trying to turn off. ... "
" ... Further, the tiny button is EXTREMELY hard to push. ... I have to use the edge of my finger nail to push the button. ... "
