Recently, WW (the rebranded Weight Watchers) has launched the WW Kurbo app, which was designed to help overweight/obese children aged 8-17 years to lose weight with or without parental assistance if they are older than 13 years. A recent publication in this journal, authored by Cueto et al [1], is the first scientific study evaluating the impact of the Kurbo app on engagement and weight status among overweight children and adolescents. All the study data from children were provided by the Kurbo app and were obtained retrospectively. The analysis and conclusions, which should be considered with limitations, were done with users enrolled in coaching sessions, and the weight was self-reported. The impact on weight reduction was observed for those with more coaching sessions, which confirms that childhood obesity requires professional support. This app is available only upon payment. There is no information, so far, about its impact on obese children when they and their families downloaded the app for free and started to monitor the children’s food intake according to the traffic light diet.
