## Review summary

Users consistently praise the thermometer’s hardware (fast/accurate) and the app’s tracking features (family profiles, medication reminders, fever guidance). The dominant problems are account registration failures (Error 1113), frequent pairing/connectivity issues, and buggy graphing/UI with no export. Many also complain about required account/data collection and difficulty contacting support, though some users report issues were fixed after updates or with responsive support.

### Pros

- Thermometer hardware is fast, accurate and reliable.
- App makes temperature logging easy — stores readings, supports family profiles, medication reminders and age‑based fever advice.
- Simple to set up and generally easy to use for many users.
- Some users report responsive support and that issues were resolved after updates.

### Cons

- Widespread registration/login failure (Error 1113) preventing account creation.
- Frequent pairing/connection problems between the app and the thermometer (Bluetooth issues).
- Graphing and UI problems — limited/buggy graph display, poor zoom/scroll, small fonts, no landscape mode or export option.
- Perceived intrusiveness and mandatory account/data collection (location, zip, phone) — privacy concerns and desire for an offline/log‑only option.
- Customer support/contact problems (email bounces, limited in‑app contact) and inconsistent issue resolution.
