Unable to connect to iPhone 6S

I have been unable to connect the Kinsa Smart Stick thermometer I bought to any of the iPhone 6Ss in my home. After contacting support they stated this is a known problem and there was nothing they could do but advise me to buy a new phone.

This update

With this update I am no longer able to take my temperature. Keeps going back to home page. Worked great before. Have iPhone 6plus.

Profile and history deleted upon v4.0 update.

The profiles were deleted after update. There seem to be historical "anonymous" readings I can re-assign...but no indication of which profiles they were previously attached to which makes that cumbersome at best.

Broken!

Still takes temperatures, and user interface changes seem nice, but it no longer communicates with the Health app resident on my iPhone 6! Please fix this!!

Does nothing locked

It worked well until update not cancer patients history is gone.

Love the new update!

Much simpler design that keeps all the things I love about Kinsa (bubble game, cute symptom icons, ability to see my familys history) with a more intuitive design

This app doesnt update to Apple Health app .... Since last update... Worked good before... Reapplied the app and setup failed... Have iphone 6+...

Crash Crash Crash

Before newest update, and after, the app will not open so its useless. Worked long ago, but not recently.

Update Broke App

If its not broke then why try to "fix" it. The app did work great and now every time I go to take a temp it says the probe is too warm. This occurs even when the probe hasnt been used for days or hours and has effectively rendered the Kinsa useless. Please fix it.

So disappointing! Cant take temperature!

I used to love this app! Now it wont do anything. It deleted all of our profiles - I have the saved data but theres no date or name, so who knows who it belonged to??!! I have a sick child & now I cant even take a temperature. It wont work at all. It freezes every time. So disappointing.

Goes to back to Apple screen

This app worked great earlier this week but now it just kicks me out and takes me back to the apple home page.

Update broke app

Profiles were erased, and cant setup thermometer.

Update is no good

Ive been using Kinsa for a while now to meticulously track my temperature. The new update has deleted my profile and Im stuck with unassigned readings.. How this update got past quality assurance is anyones guess.

Peace of mind.

So happy with this app...love the simplicity, the Kinsa guidance feature, and as always, the bubbles :)

Never going back to a thermometer!

This is better than a regular thermometer. You get to play a little bubble game while reading your temp., and it reads "no fever" or "mild fever" so you know. I love it!

Works great

Works great on IOS9 on my IPhone 6s. Just bought mine today.

Bad update

I couldnt stop talking about this app to everybody I know! It was the greatest thing ever for my family. But this update is terrible! I find it hard to input when I want to input and also find it hard to put things on the correct profile. Im so disappointed in all the changes. Bring back the great health app that it used to be!

Update

I absolutely love our Kinsa. I will never go back to a traditional thermometer. With that being said 95% of the update to the app is garbage. I like that the bubbles pop easier and that the exit while taking temp moved to the bottom, but I hate everything else that changed. Not only did it remove my childrens history (in the middle of a 3 week illness that I was using the app to track), it also does not change color to indicate a fever while the thermometer is in use. I know its not long to wait, but when you are worried about your childs health, its the little things that make a big difference. I still love the thermometer, Im just not a fan of the update.

Causing problems.

When I bought the thermometer it worked wonders. I use it to keep track of my newborns temps. Now with the new update I can only get it to work during an oral reading. No longer works in rectal, underarm or ear setting. I love the thermometer I just feel like Im no longer getting my moneys worth. Its extremely hard getting an oral reading from a baby.

Lost Profile Information/No value Added

The new update does not offer anything new in a useful way, but did delete all my previous profiles and non-temp data. As someone else commented, temp data was retained and is available to reassign, but I had 102 entries that each could have belonged to one of three people, so is absolutely useless now. The non-temp data is where I got most of the value from this app, and that data is now completely gone.
