Kurbo by WW (Weight Watchers) Positive Reviews
Decent, but could use some work.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..SkatealoniesVersion: 3.4.1
Good, but could use moreI honestly like this app and think it is a fun way to loose weight. I don’t have a problem with the red green yellow light system, like most people are having. Although, one thing I would suggest, or if you could explain it to me, is a video about how the portions are measured and which foods get which portion sizes. For example, I know somethings portions are a whole hand, some are a fist, and others can be just a finger. Although, I don’t know which food goes to which portion. Also, I think there should be a barcode scanner so you can scan some of the products you eat because I sometimes I eat a granola bar for breakfast and it’s more of a healthy one but the only one that comes up is an item that is red. I just feel like that would make everything a whole lot easier. I hope you can get back with me and respond, and I hope to see these fixes. If not totally fine..DrffVersion: 3.0.8
UI leaves a bit to be desiredI’m trying to keep track of my 5-year-old’s nutrition and weight, as she was classified as overweight at her last appointment. Setting up the app as a parent, I created her profile but it automatically assigned her my last name even though she has her dad’s last name, and it just named her “Kid1”. I don’t know if I missed something when I made her profile, but regardless, there is no way for me to edit her name. I thought perhaps logging onto the site on a computer would let me edit it, but it doesn’t. So now I’m stuck with a profile that says “Kid1”, no buttons that allow me to delete or add profiles, and a clunky user interface with very limited options, which would be fine for a kid using the app but which isn’t so great for the adult trying to use it. I have used WW off and on, and since Kurbo is an offshoot of WW, you’d think the app would be up to speed, but the WW app is light years ahead. The concept of this app is wonderful. The app layout and features is severely lacking and until it is updated, I will have to find something else to help me track my daughter’s nutrition..Riley JWVersion: 3.1.5
This app is amazing!!!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..RkkkopVersion: 3.3.0
Ignore the HAESThis app is a step in the right direction. It’s more important than ever to give kids a healthy and nutritious foundation. Thank you for this in-depth and well made app! We need this more than ever.
Many of the people leaving one star reviews don’t even have kids to begin with. Just think: we can teach our kids healthy habits so they won’t have to diet as adults. Letting your child balloon in size and eat unhealthy without constraint is child cruelty. Most 3 year olds don’t know the difference between health and unhealthy. They just know that skittles taste good and look cool.
Please, give this app a chance and respect your children and others. Just because you don’t want to eat healthy doesn’t mean you should force that on others.
I had an eating disorder when I became a teenager and can say, with full confidence, this app would’ve saved me. There’s no calories, just a clean focus on nutrition and overall health. 10/10 would recommend..Amelia888ellenVersion: 3.0.1
I don’t understandKurbo is an amazing app. It doesn’t encourage “eating disorders” or “fat phobia”. It more encourages being more cautious about what you eat, and trying not to eat unhealthy foods so often. The app isn’t going to criticize someone for not being skinny as a stick.
That’s what I don’t understand. People provide no explanation to how Kurbo promotes that type of eating. Eating disorder is a real issue, but Kurbo doesn’t promote it. People don’t know what they’re talking about, because this is truly an amazing app.
I mentioned my weight to my coach, as I was proud of myself for losing 4 pounds, and she said that healthy lifestyle matters more than the weight on the scale. After all, it really is just a number. Nothing more.
I can’t seem to figure out why people are saying that young children, as young as 4, are developing anorexia nervosa. That is completely untrue. People may already have eating disorders, for example anorexia, when they start this app. Maybe that’s why it gets worse?
My advice is that, if you have a problem with healthy eating, don’t download the app. If you think you will develop an eating disorder from being encouraged to eat a bit healthier and stay away from unhealthy foods, don’t download it. That’s all I have to say.
Overall a great app, but the community who writes the reviews? Some of them, not so great.

Good appComing from someone trying to lose weight, this app doesn’t promote anything like fatphobia. and this is coming from a fat person myself. the app doesn’t promote eating disorders. rather, it encourages healthier eating. if you’re struggling with body issues and feel you HAVE to do this, then the app probably isn’t for you. the app has some motivational messages and not once does it say being overweight is actually bad. and the “food is food” approach isn’t really always gonna work. it’s just overall better to be eating healthier things. the app isn’t saying never have red foods, it’s saying don’t eat them TOO OFTEN. and that’s something doctors would say, and if you start thinking your doctor is wrong, i truly don’t know what to tell you. If you feel this app will impact your mental health or if you’re recovering from an eating disorder, simply don’t download the app 🤷🏽♀️.Yb2022Version: 3.3.0
Works Well!The app is amazing and is really easy to use. The only problem is on the game red raisins, there is a couple questions that are hard to answer. One of them asks you to pick if the food is red or yellow, and it doesn’t show what food it is. So you have to just guess. Another one shows you two little people and one looks tired and the other looks calm. You have to guess to pull a character into the game box based off if the activity is light (calm) or hard (tired). The problem is, it doesn’t show the picture. But besides that it is great!!!.Averi.

Life changing!Kurbo is just...wow! After being on it for just a few weeks, we already were seeing results. It is a safe,fun,healthy way of getting your health and weight under control. You don’t feel deprived, because you can eat everything in moderation. You have support 24/7 with a personal coach, motivational quotes and cool tips and recipes. The app is fun to use, easy and just brilliant. You’re child can still go to parties and have holidays without feeling depressed and deprived, and we felt motivated and excited from the moment we started! ( and it lasted!)
WE LOVE KURBO!
BTW, whoever is saying things such as ‘this can cause anorexia and eating disorders’ you obviously haven’t actually used Kurbo. The whole thing is done in a very safe way, and your eating is being monitored, so it is nearly impossible to develop an eating disorder on Kurbo..SkinnydreamsVersion: 3.0.8
A step in the right directionI’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews. My son LOVES candy and anything sweet. I wanted him to be more aware of the foods he was eating that were unhealthy. And that is exactly what this app is doing! It doesn’t stop him from eating what he wants. But it is making him think about healthier options. My kid eats cake, candy, etc. but in moderation. Now, he is opting for fruit instead of that Halloween candy he wanted before. That’s what we are supposed to be teaching our kids! Thank you Weight Watchers! My son loves adding food into his app the same way I do. The only criticism I have is that I wish the app would allow you to put in portion sizes. I know kids are all different sizes and ages, but I think they would benefit from knowing what a healthy portion size is..EchofarsideVersion: 3.0.3
I’ve been so much healthier and feeling betterI’ve noticed some reviews that are saying it will promote eating disorders. I haven’t found this for myself. I was going down a very difficult road and I’ve always had a changing relationship with food. This app has helped me to stop and think before eating something. I still have a huge appetite and eat a lot, but I eat a lot of healthy, or green light, foods and less red light foods. The coaching program is fantastic. I was thrilled when I lost ten pounds, and mentioned it to my coach, but she said it was more important about how I feel than the number on the scale. I feel healthy, I sleep better, and I’ve been able to build my stamina. I definitely suggest this app for families to build healthier habits!.Eak684Version: 3.1.0
This app makes getting healthy truly FUN! For both kids and adults!This app has it all. The food tracking is super simple by using a traffic light system- even my 5yr old son can identify food color categories and knows how to measure his portions using his hand as a guide. We LOVE the videos, games, and the short guided breathing exercises. The Get Sleepy one is perfect to help settle down and get prepared for sleep. Having a weekly coach is an added bonus as it keeps us all accountable, motivated, and we get to celebrate or WINS each week with our coach. It gives us something to look forward to with our weekly coaching calls. Thank you Kurbo for making a family friendly app!.The Integrative IndieVersion: 3.0.0
This is a wonderful tool to navigate healthy choicesI think this is a wonderful tool for young kids and parents to navigate healthy choices.
My 8 year old daughter was just recently diagnosed with high cholesterol and high triglycerides. We have always been health conscious in our house, but because of genetics this is a real concern that we face.
As a mother to a young impressionable daughter I worry about her possibly developing body image issues. I would not want her to feel or think that she is on a “diet”.
My husband and I know that we need to have an open continuous dialogue about healthy choices and the right amounts of less healthy choices.
This app has already made such a positive difference for us, because my daughter is starting to understand that she can still eat what her friends are eating she just can’t have unhealthy snack all day long.
I felt the need to post my Positive review amidst all of the controversy and misinformation about this app, because it truly has been a wonderful tool for us and we hope to continue using it..JnmottolaVersion: 3.0.1
A great app targeted by online extremistsA group called wakeupweightwatchers has targeted this app calling for it to be banned as it is supposedly dangerous and causes eating disorders. The truth is this app helps kids lose weight in a healthy manner, the app isn’t going to scold a kid for not looking like a skeleton. Unfortunately body positivity extremist groups have resorted to spreading misinformation about weight loss in an attempt to normalize obesity. Obesity is just as unhealthy and dangerous as an eating disorder. This app helps kids avoid obesity, it doesn’t tell them to starve themselves or that they need to purge if they eat too much, all it does is help kids be more aware about how what they’re eating affects them..Temkor324Version: 3.0.3
A recommendation for KurboI love Kurbo so much. It is a great and easy way to learn to keep a habit of staying healthy. The coaches are so nice and understanding. They will not judge you and only want to help you be successful in your goals. In Kurbo you track what you eat and it is very easy and simple. Learning the serving sizes is also very easy. They also make sure that you understand IT IS NOT A DIET. It is just a way to keep you healthy. Kurbo has already helped me so much and I started only a couple weeks ago. Kurbo wants to help you be confident, successful, happy, and healthy. I definitely recommend Kurbo..Apples and honeyVersion: 3.3.0
Kurbo is great, but could be a little better.I’ve recently started using Kurbo. And while I love using the app, there are a few things I would add if I have a choice. Although I love the idea of logging my meals, and it has shown me that I eat too much sometimes, where do I find my progress on dies, exercise, or overall weight? That’s one of the reasons I when looking of an app anyways. And for another thing, same for exercise what is the point of counting exercise if I don’t get results? The app is pretty great other than that..#GirsRuleVersion: 3.1.5
Helping our whole family eat healthy and balancedWe have been using for a few weeks and we absolutely love it! It is NOT a diet app for kids. It’s teaching kids and families how to eat HEALTHY. Learning what foods are good for you and what foods you should limit. This is so smart! We need MORE of this not less. Health is so important. My daughter and I do it together and we both love it. Opens our eyes to some of the bad foods we have been overindulging in. And allows us to plan ahead if we know we want something in a few days!.Jessmack12Version: 3.1.5
I love Kurbo so so so much!!!!!It is a great way to figure out what is red yellow and green and soon you will be able to look back and see how many reds you HAVEN’T ate !!!! If someone offered me a red light normally before kurbo I would take it but not I am turning a lot of it down! I feel so much more confident about n myself and so much happier. It woks almost instantly! It is amazing I am in 5th grade by the way and I used to cry because I hated myself but now I love myself and it is my job to cherish it while I am here on this earth..⛹🏼⛹️♀️🤸♂️🤸🤸♀️Version: 3.1.5
Kurbo really works!!I myself tried Kurbo and I lost all of the weight I wanted to! I’m now healthier and make the right decisions! This is great for kids that can’t use adult diets, it’s so easy. All your doing is being more cautious about food and then BOOM you lose weight. Not only is it great for kids to lose weight it teaches them more. What exercises they can do or encouraging stories! Your create habits of being conscious around portions of food and what you are eating!! I’m proud to say that Kurbo is the best thing that I did for myself!!.Addy's Review🌸Version: 3.1.5
Room for improvementI think that they need to make a few changes. They should make lean proteins green- for example a serving of grilled chicken should earn them a green point, but it’s currently yellow. It’s really only setup so that fruits and vegetables are considered good. They should also make the counseling free or at least more affordable. The app currently isn’t designed to recognize when they aren’t eating enough. For example, you can put in that the child only had celery and water and the app doesn’t flag this. Other apps have the ability to recognize when you aren’t eating enough and send a notification..Annoyed1827489Version: 3.0.1
Good app but shouldn’t be advertised towards children.I’m a college student and personally love this app because I can track what I’m eating without adding a calorie count to it. Last year I tried calorie counting and it restarted my eating disorder, but this color-themed system reminds me to not eat unhealthy snacks 24/7 at school. I personally like this app but I do want to stress that weight loss and diet-type apps are not for kids!!! growing children should not be counting their foods. Let them grow! Don’t instill a diet lifestyle in your children. I went on diets as a child and it turned into an eating disorder. Please be safe when using this app!.Enzobenzo7Version: 3.0.1

Healthy Habits for... yes, Children!I understand some people are upset about this App, but if health and mindfulness were really that easy we wouldn’t have statistics reading: “It is estimated that 26% of Canadian children and youth ages 2 to 17 are considered overweight or obese.” - people 26%!!! “In the United States, the percentage of children and adolescents affected by obesity has more than tripled since the 1970’s.” Here we are in the age of fast food, oversized portions and abundant convenience, children should be taught how to navigate the pitfalls; and why shouldn’t it be via a thoughtful and engaging app? Would you pull your children out of class each time the teacher addressed “Canada’s Food Guide?” The fact that the app has been produced by a tried and true brand like WeightWatchers is a huge bonus! I feel confident in the brand. Let’s review, what does weight watchers teach? Don’t eat this ever? That item is off limits! - no. They teach accessibility, moderation and mindfulness. WW thank you..MapleLeafMumVersion: 3.0.1
Great For Teaching About Balanced Eating!This isn’t a diet app. It’s an app for teaching what foods should be eaten plentifully (Fruits, vegetables), in moderation (Breads, Pasta, et cetera), and what foods aren’t the healthiest choice (Butter, ice cream, popsicles, et cetera). This literally has nothing to do with dieting. It has to do with teaching kids, and teens how food should be regulated for health. Yes, fruits and vegetables are the healthiest, and should be eaten plentiful. You shouldn’t be eating a loaf of bread as a meal, but a couple of slices are fine, hence why it’s a moderation thing. Ice cream is a treat, and should be treated as such. That’s literally all this app is teaching..MrslovettrulesVersion: 3.0.1
Great AppTo everyone saying this app encourages eating disorders and fat shaming, you have to understand that obesity and bad eating habits are impacting kids more than ever. Making an app that encourages healthy eating and sustainable goals through healthy lifestyle choices is NOT fat shaming. For many over weight kids, this app will help them regain confidence and health, and in some cases, could even save their lives..Anonymous person1234567890Version: 3.0.1

Kurbo by WW (Weight Watchers) Negative Reviews
Please do not use thisPlease 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)..RmummaVersion: 3.0.7
Harmful and must be bannedWe have decades of evidence suggesting that dieting behavior is the most powerful predictor of developing at eating disorders / disordered eating behavior. Dieting behavior also predicts higher weight and health concerns that have been linked to weight instability/ weight cycling. This app encourages kids as young as 8 to engage in harmful behaviors that are more likely than not to lead to ill health-mental and physical- for a lifetime.
The food: Why is skinless chicken a “yellow” food? What about whole grain bread? Almonds?! What, exactly, do you then propose a child eat?!
The “motivation”: If a child selects the option to engage in this diet to “make their parents happy,” it should RED FLAG them. Maybe even connect them to a hotline to report the psychological abuse they’re enduring. ANYTHING BUT allowing them to continue the diet.
The lies: WW has written boldfaced lies in its FAQ page. The app is not safe. It directly contradicts position statements from the American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical and research groups about the harms of child dieting. Parents, please listen to us, the MDs and PhDs who have spent decades rigorously studying this issue. Do not use this app, and please do not allow your children and teens with tech access to use it on their own..ErinVTVersion: 3.0.1
This is NOT for HEALTHThis app promotes negative body image, fatphobia, and disordered eating + eating disorders in youth. Parents: let you children know that you love them, spend time with them, hug and cuddle them, provide them with a wide variety of foods to eat (including fruits, veggies, grains, proteins, starches, sugars, whole foods, processed foods, etc.), and encourage them to listen to the hunger and fullness cues their bodies send them. Remind your kids that food will always be available to them but that they can eat something when they’re craving it and that their body is healthy for sending signals of what it needs (hunger/fullness cues and cravings). Restricting your child’s food intake leads the body to respond as if it’s in famine, which will lead to binge eating, feelings of insecurity and body insecurity, and weight GAIN. If your fear is that your child will gain weight by being unrestricted, 1st: examine your personal fatphobia and discriminatory mentality; 2nd: read Health at Every Size by Dr. Linda Bacon; 3rd: your fatphobia aside, do NOT allow your child to download this app, because restriction literally causes more weight gain, which is what you didn’t want in the first place..Aspenbliss1Version: 3.0.2
NOT Recommended by Registered DietitiansThis app from WW is a DIET- it is NOT nutrition education. I don’t care how you package it- it’s not teaching kids nutrition information; it even tells them that 1% milk is a “yellow light food”. Kids, on average, do not drink enough milk and most do not get the recommended amount of calcium. Now they are going to encourage kids to not drink it?! This app teaches kids about earning foods based on the exercise they’ve done, tracking everything they eat, and encourages them to lose weight with before and after photos. This goes directly against recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations to NOT push weight loss for children. Again- this is NOT an educational tools for kids to learn about nutrition. This is a DIET focused on weight loss. The research is overwhelming that putting kids on diets leads to disordered eating and full blown eating disorders. It also sets them up for weight cycling (which has detrimental health consequences) and subjects them to weight stigma (which again has health consequences). This app is not acceptable for children and parents should not allow their children to use this!.ZepFan77Version: 3.0.4
This app worries meThe first thing you see on this app is a little drawing of a street light and it pretty much says “eat more veggies, less meat and bread, and STOP to think before having treats like cookies and whatnot. This isn’t appropriate for children in my opinion. Kids shouldn’t have to think about things like that. I downloaded this app to see what it’s about, and there’s potential for something that could be a good tool for children to have access to info about nutrition. But a simple message of “STOP and think before you eat that cookie” does more harm than good. The real goal should be awareness, education and moderation.
I struggled with an eating disorder as a teen and it all started with simply starting to watch what I would eat and my goal was to eat healthier. I counted calories on weight watching apps and worked out as much as I could. And it just kept getting more intense and took my mind away from things that I should’ve been focused on at that age. I eventually got very sick and depressed and I still struggle to this day.
There has to be a better way to teach children about healthy eating..Salem rainicornVersion: 3.0.3
Shame on weight watchersI grew up with my parents costantlt trying new diets. At every holdiay the adulta at the table would discuss what they were avoiding, portion control and points. So when my lifelong desire to loose weight bloomed into anorexia nervosa, I just thought I was just doing what every adult in my family was compelled to do. My grandparents tries weight watchers when i was 5 or 6 and my parents followed when I was 12 and are still doing it. So my anorexia
was ww-esque. I didn’t skip meals but rather shaved off little bits from here and there and copied my parents “portion control” strategies. Same thing when I relapsed 4 years later. I am recovering and living at home with my ww parents this summer has been a minefield. They comment on everything they eat. They comment on what the other and even my sister and I eat. They talk to strangers about what they eat. Ww is just one company in this multi-million dollar industry but they are directly responsible for my eating disorder and my parents’. I want my childhood back. I can’t imagine the dammage explicitly encouraging a child to do this would do. Shame shame shame..DaughterofdietersVersion: 3.0.1
Horrible messageI first perceived myself as “fat” in 5th grade and was then exposed to the whole good vs bad food notion by my parents in their attempts to help me feel better about myself by loosing weight, in 5th grade. I developed and have been struggling with anorexia since eighth grade and I am now a junior in college. This app is disgusting and dangerous to young children like I once was, the first few pounds you lose feels good , but next thing you know you’ve lost 30lbs without even realizing it, your menstrual cycle disappears (or heck some of the young girls may not even have theirs yet) you can’t go out to eat with your family, your heart rate is so low your body can’t fall asleep because fear of not being able to wake up, and your quality of life doesn’t feel worth it. It’s important to teach children about balance and listening to their bodies, but this app telling them red foods should be restricted is such a dangerous mentality. Sure not everybody who diets develops an eating disorder , but anorexia has the highest mortality rate among mental illnesses for those who fall victim..Melllisssaa07Version: 3.0.1
This App WILL cause disordered eatingAs an adult who was put on a very similar program at the age of ten, and developed severe disordered eating as a result, I was curious to find out if the issues I had as a child had been changed. Sadly they haven’t and this app just exemplifies the problems with these kinds of diets. This app will cause some children to end up with eating disorders. There are ways for children to learn and develop healthy eating habits but this app is NOT one of them. The red foods make absolutely no sense and the majority of dietitians are baffled as to why some foods are considered red foods. There’s no explanation in the app as to how they choose categories for foods. How is that supposed to teach children to make informed choices? All it does is teach them if Kurbo says it’s bad than it must be bad. I implore you, if you have children, do NOT use this app with them. Seek help from a professional dietitian(something not a single one of their “coaches” are) and have them help you navigate your child’s weight issues in a way that is not going to mess them up for life..Stcrt2484Version: 3.0.1
Sad. Dangerous. Please please just listenIf you are focused on the obesity problem and you think this is the solution, please take a moment to educate yourself. First I’d like to say that I’m jealous of you- you are blessed to not have had to deal with disordered eating or seen it in a loved one. If you had, you would understand why this app is not the solution. This is not how you teach children to have a healthy relationship with food. Good/bad food (red light/green light same difference) can lead to all sorts of disordered behaviors: not just anorexia (!!) but also binge eating, etc (of course eating disorders are all unique). Not to mention, the targeted age group is already EXTREMELY vulnerable to mental health problems & especially eating disorders and disordered eating. Did you know that out of all mental illnesses, eating disorders have the highest mortality rate? Now you do. Please please please please get rid of this app so we can teach our children to take care of themselves physically & mentally in ways that do not lead to life-threatening illness..DjjdjdjsVersion: 3.0.3
This app made me not eatI keep seeing people talking about what this app does to people and not how. Kurbo has a dietary tracking system based in reds and greens. Each week you get a limited number of reds that you can consume. At first this app started out at about 40 reds a week and then continually began to decrease getting down to 14 reds a week. Keep in mind reds can be anything from bread to peanut butter. I was obsessed with getting to only 14 reds a week so much so I would only eat some carrots and cucumbers for lunch and then have a small dinner. Luckily, I stopped before it got too bad because my mom found out about me throwing away my lunch at school. I was only 13 and I can definitely see how this app can cause eating disorders and fat phobia. And to the person that said that the community associated with this app is bad and the app is great should think about other people’s perspectives before saying that it’s perfectly safe when in reality it isn’t..E17-11love3452lifeVersion: 3.1.5
Do not download this app 🛑This app is unethical. Decades of research shows that dieting predicts weight GAIN and EATING DISORDERS. CHILDREN are born eating intuitively and should NOT be taught track everything they eat. Their bodies are growing and changing and even the American Pediatric Association now recognizes discussing weight and diets with children is actually HARMFUL and advises against it. Weight Watchers is attempting to make millions by roping the next generation of people to buy into the MYTHS of diet culture. Do not use this app. Instead educate yourself on RESEARCH and teach your family to find joyful ways of moving their body and learn to listen to and feed their bodies in ways that feels good. Teach them to love and accept the natural shape of their bodies and that what matters most IS NOT their weight. I think the worst part of this app is that it tells children they can “make your parents happy” by eating less. This is like handing an adolescent an instruction guide on how to develop a life long eating disorder and it is deplorable and unethical..Lisafighting171717171717171818Version: 3.0.2
Predatory garbageCan you imagine being 8 years old and turning down a piece of birthday cake at a party so you don’t over-do it on your “yellow foods?” Can you imagine not having a second helping of avocado and going to bed hungry, all in an effort to “make your parents happy?” Can you imagine saving your “red foods” only to end up binging, causing you to spiral into a sea of doubt, guilt, and self-loathing? Can you imagine following this plan for months, losing the weight, and then gaining it all back plus 20 or 30lbs? Can you imagine the burden of such failure?
After 20+ years, I finally understand that I wasn’t a failure and that there was never anything wrong with me. Not only did I just gain more weight, I also developed Binge Eating Disorder, and now I have to meet with a therapist weekly to try to undo the damage. WW didn’t help me make better choices; it just made me fear my own appetite and value the way I looked over my own health.
Being a kid is hard, especially in the age of Instagram and the Kardashians. All this does is perpetuate the fat=unhealthy cultural garbage we’ve been fed since birth.
First you came for our moms, and then you came for their kids. We will not let you harm our children. How can kids become who they’re meant to be when they’re focused on being the smallest versions of themselves..KKeeps85Version: 3.0.1
Teach Your Children Intuitive Eating skills, not Restrictive ObsessionsRestrictive eating nearly always leads to a binge cycle. This app not only promotes these unhealthy eating behaviors, it’s teaching young children how to fall into disordered eating by applying moralistic values (red vs green) to foods.
My brother nearly died of anorexia when we were teens. I struggled with disordered binge/restrictive cycles as a result of observing his battle. This app follows scarily similar patterns to both my brother’s and my disordered eating past. It wasn’t until I worked through intuitive eating with a nutritionist and discovered the health at every size community that I began to appreciate what my body is capable of naturally regulating and providing for itself with food and by exercising.
Don’t send your kids down the path of disordered eating for the rest of their lives; guide them towards intuitive eating practices so they learn to tap into their bodies wants and needs simply by listening to it..LurgeenVersion: 3.0.1
NOT RECOMMENDEDAmerican Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and many health care professionals from pediatricians, registered dietitians, nutritionists, and eating disorder specialist have all spoken about why this app could lead to disordered eating behavior. Children should not have to be preoccupied with thinking about the way their body looks, obsessing over food, and feeling “good” or “bad” because they ate something the app told them not to. The app doesn’t have your best interest in mind. It is not accounting for food availability, income, or medical dietary needs/restrictions. Do not let it dictate what is “good or bad”. If you decide to use this app, you (the adult) use it as a tool for guidance on what you can add rather than take away. Acknowledge the “reds” and that they are okay. Consider ways you can add “green” without moralizing a food or restricting it. There is a fine line between kid-friendly nutrition education and promoting disordered eating behaviors, I believe this app crosses it..NayChan92Version: 3.0.1
Do not recommend!!Personally I would not recommend using this app whether you are a parent who is encouraging your child to be a certain weight, or you are kid/teen who thinks they need to be a certain weight. First of all, childhood is one of the most crucial times in a persons life for growth. Yes, at this age you WILL gain weight and that is 100% normal. It is mentally and physically damaging for kids to be worried about their looks at this young of an age. Society has always told us “the skinnier the better/healthier” or “skinny equals beauty”. Let me tell you right now… your size does NOT determine your value and beauty. Two different size individuals could workout the same and eat the same, but how their body processes nutrients and exercise could be totally different. Downloading this app only creates more self confidence issues within young adults, which they will carry into adulthood..Allison0015Version: 3.4.1
IrresponsibleChildren are born intuitive eaters. We steal that gift from them when we tell them which foods are good or green and bad or red. Foods such as avocado are nutrient rich and provide healthy fats and should not be limited or avoided if someone enjoys them. There is something called habituation and the more a child is exposed to a food- like cupcakes- the less they are going to want them. If you tell them a cupcake is bad or a red food, psychologically and biologically, the child is going to want that food even more, binge on that food when it’s available, and then feel guilty for eating it. This app is setting kids up for a lifetime of disordered eating behaviors, as well as increasing their risk of developing full blown eating disorders. Kids are more likely to develop an eating disorder than diabetes. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and should be celebrated, not controlled. This app is irresponsible, dangerous and needs to be pulled..A. C. 81Version: 3.0.7
Can’t believe this is actually a thing.Let me start by saying that I’m all for healthy eating and people being aware of what is going into their bodies, however, this is not the most ideal way of doing it. This app is just an eating disorder/body dysmorphia waiting to happen and it’s especially worrying that it’s marketed towards children, who are extremely impressionable.
This type of obsession is the reason people have body image issues when they grow up, why I have them for example. Like I said, I fully support healthy eating, but that should be up to the parents to encourage, not an app that assigns traffic light colors to different foods, instilling the idea that if you eat x type of food, that you’ll gain weight and be “ugly”.
Being exposed to different diets as I was growing up did so much more harm than good and this app is definitely not a step in the right direction!.JacquesV93Version: 3.0.2
Dangerous and harmfulAs an eating disorder mental health professional, this is a very very dangerous and harmful indoctrination into diet culture. No child should be counting calories, moralizing food, or feeling like they need an “after” version of their current body. There is soooo much science that shows the extensive damage of both dieting at a young age and under nourishing a body, especially around puberty. WW puts profits and creating life long members who are terrified of food and body ahead of children’s health. Please don’t do this to your kids. Check out Ellyn Satter’s work on normal eating for kids and parents out there - please heal your own relationship with food and body. Don’t pass the trauma down to the next generation. The damage, once done, is shockingly harmful and difficult to undo. A lifetime of denied pleasure and body comparing and checking leads to destructive patterns in love and health..LaerkinVersion: 3.0.1
Tracking Food/Calories and Promoting Weight Loss is NOT the Solution!This app is horrifying. The fact that WW would promote such an UNHEALTHY mindset toward foods to CHILDREN is ridiculous. My earliest memories of my eating disorder was punishing myself over eating cake as a 5 year old!! Why?? Diet culture. The foods in different traffic lights are RIDICULOUS and this takes out so many factors like actual ACCESS to fruits and vegetables. Want to solve a problem? Start there WW. Not with a terrible app causing unhealthy mindsets toward foods. And at the time of this review writing one of the featured high star reviews states that anorexia and not eating is not the only eating disorder. You’re correct. And binging and purging (bulimia) is directly correlated to FOOD RESTRICTION. Which is what this apps traffic light system will encourage you to do. To run like hell from whole food groups. Instead, run like hell from this app..AEA88Version: 3.0.2
DamagingThe idea that you should even teach children that some foods are “bad” and some things are “good” is completely wrong and is not supported by any dietitian or nutritionist worth their salt or any medical professional that works with children. This is absolutely promoting diet culture, fat shaming, and is grossly negligent. Children develop at all different rates and all different sizes and shouldn’t be spending those developing years being taught that food they choose to eat and how they nourish their body is wrong. As someone who grew up completely self-conscious about her body size and who had a mother that constantly dieted, if I had had access to an app like this I would’ve 100% developed a diagnosable eating disorder. This is a horrible app and should be pulled immediately. It is irresponsible, damaging, and dangerous to the health of children and families..TJM4111Version: 3.0.1
NoI got this app to see if my child would like and it would work. So she Frye’s for about a week and we talked about it, but after that we decide we didn’t like it. It honestly made her feel bad when she” ate to many red foods,” it also doesn’t do anything to enforce when they eat to much. They just tell you and warn you, make you feel bad, but don’t do anything to cut back on to much food. They keep cutting your”reds” but just don’t give a solution when you go over. I gave them a 2 because yes three send kids in the right direction, but they just give them a nudge down the road and hope they do the rest on there own. A lot of people and websites recommend this app, well I don’t, IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!!.Starbucks1234554321Version: 3.0.3
DisgustingThis app is ridiculously tone deaf and couldn’t miss the mark further if it tried. WW has been ignoring what has been obvious for decades: DIETING DOESN’T WORK!!! Intentional weight loss is not sustainable in the long term and fat does NOT equal unhealthy. I had a WW enthusiast mother who taught me to diet and I was a believer in the program for decades, even achieving “Lifetime” membership in 2012...but now I see how much money and time and brainpower I wasted. I am so grateful I found Intuitive Eating (a book written by Tribole and Resch) and started practicing before I taught my children that their body signals can’t be trusted. Children don’t need diets, they need grown ups who model healthy relationships with food and their bodies and don’t equate their weight with their worth. Dieting is the CAUSE of the obesity epidemic, not the solution for it!!!.ChsyogaVersion: 3.0.3
So harmfulTargeting a already fragile age group of pre-teens to young adults with an app that reinforces internalized fat phobia is inherently wrong and this app is encouraging disordered eating.
Attaching moral value to food will teach a child or teenager that eating “bad” or “red light” is wrong. This will simply lead to chronic cycles of dieting and eating disorders, both of which can lead to lifelong health issues that cannot be reversed no matter how many green light foods they eat. Parents should never encourage their child to use an app like this. If you’re worried about your child’s health see a healthcare professional that doesn’t encourage dieting of any sort. Or do your research to find out what healthy eating really is (there’s a place for EVERY food). Yes this is easy and accessible but it WILL do more harm than good in the long run. Period..Pambam143Version: 3.0.1
Are you kidding me???This is BEYOND harmful. Children and teenagers do not need to be taught to “control” their eating. Study after study by scientists, medical professionals, and registered dietitians have proven that dieting, calorie counting, and teaching children to pursue weight loss leads to eating disorders. As a 27 year old woman who has struggled with disordered eating for almost 20 years and is still working through an eating disorder, this is absolutely horrifying. Children need to be taught to trust their hunger and fullness cues. When they are told to lose weight and are used as “before and after” pictures, it continues to correlate that they will not be loved or good enough until they lose that weight. Childhood is a time for growing and learning to love and trust your body. Shame on weight watchers for praying on young, impressionable minds..YLroxmysoxVersion: 3.0.1
Do young people need diets? Hint: noIf you are a young person wondering how to eat healthy, STAY AWAY from anything trying to sell you a restrictive diet, including this app. Especially before your twenties, your body is growing- it needs you to eat nutritious food, not suppress your instinct to eat. If you’re worried about the food we eat, ask your lawmakers why fresh, flavorful, nutrient-rich foods are more accessible to the rich or why your school lunches aren’t better. Ask why adults are encouraged to work so hard that they don’t have time to cook for our families. Ask why so much food goes to waste in “delevoped” nations while so many people go hungry. There are a lot of challenges to face in our relationship to food. This app is not going help you face any of them..Austinrunner2015Version: 3.0.1
Pediatric dietitian says noAs a pediatric registered dietitian, I am horrified at this app’s attempt to “help” children lose weight. This goes directly against the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and the National Eating Disorders of America recommendations on how to approach childhood nutrition.
Children think in black and white. When a child is out on an eating plan with the goal of weight loss, the message they get is “I will love you when... you lose weight/you look like me/ you do what I couldn’t...”
There are many many eating disorder stories that begin with “my mom took me to Weight Watchers when I was ___.”
This app out an unqualified health coach in direct contact with your child, making such ludicrous suggestions as cooking your eggs in applesauce rather than butter.
Children need to be allowed to approach food in a curious and adventurous way, not by logging every food consumed with consequences waiting for them.
If you are concerned about your child’s health, please find a pediatric registered dietitian who can assist you in guiding your family toward balance, both in nutrition and in food enjoyment..LindsayJayneVersion: 3.0.1
Studies show diets or restriction with food don’t workI downloaded the app and used it. I documented all I ate and was open minded about the process. However, I was significantly disappointed. As a Mindful Eating, real foods based Registered Dietitian this app saddened me. I ate well balanced meals and was given many “red” for foods that are perfectly healthy. As a healthcare professional, I was able to understand the use of a red dot system, however a child or a parent who isn’t educated may not. I’d highly suggest that parents reach out to a pediatric Registered Dietitian to help the family learn how to listen to their bodies and make food choices not out of fear. I understand the purpose of this app but it’s not meeting the mark and may cause long term damage..LadielexVersion: 3.0.3
Shame on Weight WatchersTargeting kids (as young as 8!) to diet and lose weight is disgusting. Weight watchers should be ashamed of themselves. Dieting and restriction leads to binging and eating disorders, especially in kids. How about we say f* diet culture and just let our kids just live their lives? You realize that it’s actually HEALTHY for kids to gain weight, as these are their growth years. If they don’t, it’s concerning. We were not all made to look the same and have the same body. Let’s build our kids up and not make them feel bad for not looking like what society expects. This is a disgrace. Let’s not pass our disordered eating onto our kids. This app should be removed and people at WW should be fired for even considering this was a good idea..Sjb4Version: 3.0.1
Don’t let your kids use this app!As a registered dietitian, I urge you not to use this app. Not only does the American Academy of Pediatrics discourage weight talk with kids, but kids are GROWING during this stage of life. The idea of making BMI-percentile loss a goal is unethical. In addition, I can’t begin to tell you how messed up it is that “make my parents happy” is an option for your goals. What?!
Beyond that, this traffic light system is incredibly flawed. Peanut butter, cashews, chia seeds, applesauce, and more than 2/5 of an avocado all show up as red. Are you kidding me?!
Parents— I know you want to protect your kids from all the pain of living in a larger body in diet culture, but as an eating disorder dietitian I can tell you that THIS APP IS NOT YOUR ANSWER!!!.Eating Disorder DietitianVersion: 3.0.1
DISGUSTINGDo you realize that this is an app to encourage CHILDREN to diet. It says things like peanut butter and cheese are “red foods”. Are you kidding me? Is this where our world is heading?

PLEASE DON’T DO THIS TO YOUR KIDS!.AbbeyTateHaasVersion: 3.0.0
Do not use this app for kids- pediatric dietitians do not recommendThis app is NOT supported by the AAP or the national eating disorder associations (NEDA). Since 2007 the AAP recommends decreased screen time and has also pointed huge research flaws in the traffic light system that this app uses. Also, with the rise of eating disorder statistics the AAP in 2016 made a statement to NOT talk about weight, weight loss, or food tracking with kids. This app promotes disordered eating by giving kids a red food “budget,” therefore it is limiting these foods. Also, the foods listed in the red, yellow and green categories do not seem to abide by national dietary recommendations for growing kids. This app promotes restriction in growing bodies, and does not take into consideration food access, socioeconomic status, culture or family dynamics. Please DO NOT use this app or prescribe this app to anyone.
Instead please:
1. Love, accept and celebrate your child for who they are. Promote positive body image.
2. Focus on modifiable health behaviors that are accessible to your family
-joyful movement
-adding variety to the diet
-increasing water intake
3. Aim to increase family mealtimes
4. Remove any bullying/harassment threats if needed
4. Follow up with needed medical appointments.LahcpVersion: 3.0.2

In my honest opinion if you’d like your kid to learn about healthy eating your better off to Employ the “stop light “ tools in your home with a chart and some stickers. Not only is it cheaper then the 130$ a month, it allows you to assign rewards, choose what is and isn’t a red light food, and can be an interactive way to teach kids about healthy eating.
