No new signups

Don’t download. Data scam. This app allowed me to put in my email and go through the paces just to give me a message saying they aren’t taking new signups. Feels like data stealing to me. Why take my email and info if you aren’t taking new signups. Just to sell it? Stay away.

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.

This is a diet app for elementary students

Kurbo was marketed as a “health and wellness program” for families. No. This is a diet app with 15 minute weekly coaching sessions. The app platform is only for food tracking, the online platform is only for rescheduling appointments with the coach. The account can only be canceled by calling. When you call, there is not a representative who can accept your call and you are instructed to wait for them to contact you. As far as the program goes: Kurbo is entirely based on assigning foods as red, yellow, and green light foods. Children as young as eight do not have the discernment to separate “stoplight foods” with foods that should be enjoyed in moderation rather than stopped altogether. This program is not education-based behavior change, it is fee-based shame. It’s a really too bad, because there is a real need for families to have access to nutritional education, behavior strategies, and encouraging resources of opportunities of physical activity. Studies have shown that food journaling does lead to healthier food choices, but this is a diet. Each tracked food must be categorized into: green means go, yellow means slow, and STOP. While WW does an amazing job of hiring positive and encouraging coaches, 15 minutes a week does not over value the seven hours a week children will spent tracking and judging each food choice they have made. One in four people who are put on a diet in childhood develop disordered eating. It’s just not worth the risk.

Nice

Good for kids, small and big, but can you make it you can make the amount of activity the exact amount of it instead of just counting by 10s
