By using your smartphone, Kinsa takes advantage of 25,000X the processing power of a regular digital thermometer. Tapping into the smartphone’s power, processing and display also means there are virtually no electronics inside – and no batteries are required – so the thermometer is extremely lightweight and durable for carrying with you, and is always ready for use. Pay $14.99 with free shipping and returns. It also keeps track of temps recorded. I love that there are no batteries required – that’s always been our issue – go to use it and dead battery..
