Reviews: What People Think About Kurbo by WW (Weight Watchers)

Rating: 4/5
I found this app through a long search of weight loss apps that enabled a “teenage” option. I started it as my New Years resolution this year, and now have an over 100 day streak. I’ve already dropped 20 pounds and I generally feel better as well. This app is fine the way it is, but there are some little things I would critique. The first thing is the problem with documenting meals and activity for past days. Often I forget to track my activities and I can’t go back and fix it later. Another thing I wish was that along with a weekly amount of reds, you get a weekly amount of greens also, I feel like this would encourage people to not only avoid unhealthy foods, but eat more healthy things too. The final thing I would change would be the foods available to track. I would love if there were more options, or if a scan feature was added so one could scan the nutrition labels on food to track it. Over all though, this app is well made and very helpful to kids looking to develop good eating habits and lose a little weight in the process.

Please please please do not use this app or encourage your children to use this app.
When seeing this app release, I was outraged. I paused, calmed down, opened my mind and tried the app for myself. My conclusion is this app is dangerous, propagates weight stigma, encourages a diet mentality and could lead to a poor relationship with food and food intake, disordered eating, or eating disorders.
I am in eating disorder recovery, and I confidently say this app would have been devastating to me, had I found it when I was young or in my disorder.
A healthy relationship with food can not be obtained, when you look at food as good or bad, healthy or unhealthy, green or red. Labeling food and controlling intake at this minute level is a breeding ground for a disordered relationship with food.
Teach your kids that food is food, that their health is not directly related to their weight. Teach them to eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full. Teach them talk about what they are feeling, recognize emotion, and healthy outlets for emotions and movement. Show them that they don’t have to live by color categorized foods, a diet and exercise plan, a burn to earn mentality or a number on a scale. And for the love of all things good in this world do not teach them that raisins, Apple juice, pistachios, chocolate milk and peanut butter are food to be afraid of! (All red foods in the app - that according to my plan I was only allowed to have 5 of).

Hi, I came to this app because I didn’t feel good about myself. My mom brought it up in a dinner conversation and I decided to try it I got a coach it was amazing I haven’t met my coach yet but I’m really really excited to meet him. I’ve been using the app for A week now and it’s already improving so much! So you get the app you have a choice to pay for a coach or to not pay for a coach. Do you wanna know about how you track your food, well then keep reading! A green light food is like vegetables and fruits yellow foods are like pasta wheat anything with wheat in it. And red light foods are foods with sugar and stuff like that. For example a red light food could be a Coke a cookie and what I learned bacon is a red, because it has a lot of fat in it so anyway this app helped a lot and I hope it can help you to download this app for free and then only pay a little bit of money for a coach I swear it is worth every penny.
