Kurbo Health Coaching
© 2019 Weight Watchers
From Weight Watchers comes Kurbo -- A dieting curriculum for older children that attempts to help build healthy eating habits. It uses a red/yellow/green traffic signal system to show children what foods are good, OK or bad. The app mixes coaching videos with a food database. The idea is that before you eat a meal, you put your food items into a list. The app tracks the number of calories you consume. While the database is impressive (just about every imaginable food is included) the app interface could use polish. Screen orientations change on the iOS version so the transition to the coaching videos aren't always smooth. The app includes a sorting game to teach you to spot the good foods. While the app is free, the coaching component is not and prompts to subscribe are easy to stumble upon. Costs range from $70 for a week to $600 for a year.
