Are there any apps or programs for kids that need to lose weight?

My daughter is 8 and is obese. She has been going to the doctor every 6 months for check-ins due to her weight. The doctor’s only suggestion was to “cut chocolate milk” — although she hasn’t drank chocolate or whole milk in years. She plays sports. I can control what she eats when she’s with me, but she snatches snacks from people at school and helps herself to seconds of snacks at her after-school program. I’d like for her to try to track what she eats in the hopes that she’ll see that sneaking snacks is a problem for reaching her goal. I know the Lose-It app is for 18+. Any advice on an app that allows tracking for kids?

Edit: thanks for the advice. I’ll get her an appointment with a new pediatrician, and ask for a childhood obesity / childhood dietician referral in my area.
