How do I add family members?

Tap the + button on the main screen and select Add Family Member. Enter their name, age, and optionally customize their fever threshold. Each family member gets their own profile with separate temperature history and symptom tracking.

What are fever thresholds and how do they work?

Fever thresholds determine when a temperature reading is considered normal, elevated, or a fever. The app uses standard medical guidelines (100.4°F / 38.0°C for fever), but you can customize thresholds for each family member. This is especially useful for infants and young children who may have different fever definitions based on age. The app color-codes readings (green/yellow/red) based on these thresholds.

How do I export data for my doctor?

From any family member's profile, tap the Export button. You can choose between CSV (spreadsheet format) or plain text. The export includes all temperature readings, timestamps, symptoms, and medications. You can then email the file directly to your doctor or print it for your appointment.

How does Apple Health integration work?

Temp Easy can optionally sync with Apple Health to read and write body temperature data. When enabled in Settings:

• Temperature readings you log in Temp Easy are automatically saved to Apple Health
• Temperature data from other apps (like smart thermometers) can be imported into Temp Easy
• All syncing happens locally on your device — no cloud services involved

You control permissions through Settings → Privacy → Health → Temp Easy.

Can I track symptoms with temperature readings?

Yes! When logging a temperature reading, you can add symptoms like headache, cough, sore throat, fatigue, and more. Tap the Symptoms field and select all that apply. These are saved with the reading and included in exports for your doctor.

How do I log medications?

When adding or viewing a temperature reading, tap Add Medication. Enter the medication name, dose, and time given. This is especially helpful for tracking children's fever reducers (acetaminophen, ibuprofen) to ensure proper timing between doses. All medication logs are timestamped and included in data exports.

Why can I only see 30 readings in the chart?

The trend chart displays the most recent 30 readings to keep the visualization clear and readable. You can still scroll through your complete history in the readings list, and all data is included when you export. For most illnesses, 30 readings provides more than enough data to track trends and recovery.

Can I set reminders to check temperatures?

Yes! In Settings, enable Temperature Reminders and set how often you want to be reminded. This is useful when monitoring fevers to check temperature at regular intervals (every 4 hours, for example). Reminders are local notifications that work even when offline.

Is my data backed up?

Your temperature data is included in your iPhone's iCloud backup (if enabled) and iTunes/Finder backups. This means your data transfers when you restore to a new device or reinstall the app from a backup. However, the app itself never sends data to any cloud service — backups are handled entirely by iOS.
