Fever

Easy to use app for charting the history of a present illness. I get the same cold every year - starts in my nose and, if I don't take fast action, it moves into my lungs. This charting app will help me to combat this seasonal infirmity more effectively next year.

I did not read the description to the end. It cannot measure anything by breathing into the mike. Maybe one day but not now....

See above...if I could give no star I would!!!!!!

The app provides a line chart of temperature readings, but after a while the points on the graph start to clump together so as to make the graph almost useless. Maybe give the option of displaying last ten readings or filter by time (weekly). I would like to see this app for the iPad which no doubt would provide more information. I use this app frequently and like the ability to show it to my doctor whose treating me for Dressler's Syndrome. Thank you to the developers for making an app that helps us watchdog our health

How dose it work

I purchased this because it seemed like a good idea for tracking my kids' illness/medication times. I liked how this one allows you to enter custom medications (like antibiotics or holistic choices).<br/><br/>I especially like:<br/><br/>1. The temp graph really puts the info together very visually.<br/><br/>2. You can enter *whatever* medication/treatment you are giving your child (or taking yourself), versus being limited to what the app designer thinks of as normal.<br/><br/>3. I'm sleep deprived with two sick kids. It is really nice to be able to keep track of what is effectively treating each of them, and have it *make sense* even at 2 am.<br/><br/>&quot;Problems&quot;: <br/><br/>1. Though it supports Fahrenheit, it was NOT intuitive how to change the units. The creator was very responsive, and turns out you change the units under the &quot;General&quot; heading of the Itouch. Yay!<br/><br/>2. Though it allows you to note where the measurement was taken (arm, mouth, etc.), the temp is labelled as febrile assuming that it was taken orally. 98.6 F is normal for the mouth, but 97.6 is normal for the armpit, and 99.6 is normal rectally. So if the app graphs the temp as normal, it might really be febrile or hypothermic, depending on location. Then again, if you always take the temp in the same spot, or convert it yourself... no problem!

Nice app to have, we are use to keeping a log when one of children get sick as to what fevers were and the time on meds given, now when they have to go to the doctor cause they aren't getting any better we can have that info on hand, verses me or my wife forgetting the paper at the house with info on it.
