They don’t care about anything…. -

I purchased and installed Bark parental… I purchased and installed Bark parental controls for my pre-teen and have had nothing but issues with it. Half the time the app fails to monitor and report in with zero tampering by my child. Their iOS monitoring is a joke as it requires the computer monitoring the device to be connected to the same wireless network for any of the features to work. Children can too easily circumvent monitoring by making minor changes to phone settings outside of Bark. I canceled my annual subscription after only 3 months and they said the service wouldn't re-bill on the 1 year anniversary, but made ZERO offers to give a prorated refund. This app and it's company are a waste of time and money and do NOT keep my child any safer than leaving the phone wide open. It gives the parents a FALSE sense of security at best. If you truly want to keep your children safe, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SERVICE

Bark Parental Control App review Bark Parental Control App review Bark DOES NOT work consistently with Apple products. It seemed that time that Apple had an update, Bark stopped working and we’d have to spend HOURS on email (you can’t call Bark - you have to set up an appointment to talk - days in advance!) and also with Apple. Don’t ever give your credit card to Bark. They renewed our subscription, even though we continued to have problems with it working. We asked for a refund within 3 weeks but they somehow talked us into trying to get it to work again. It temporarily (never went for more than a few weeks with all devices backing up to it,) so we asked to cancel a few months later. They refused stating that their terms if service are to offer NO REFUNDS. If you have $99 to burn and hours and hours of time to devote throughout the year to getting Bark to work again, then go for it. If not, find another monitoring software!

Scam charges I returned the phones as requested by bark company to terminate services. The service was very glitchy and insufficient and over priced. After returning phones that were in good shape no scratches no damage nothing....bark emailed stating ill be charged 59.00 for repairs. There was no details regarding their fake allegations just a statement that I'll be charged. I immediately reached out to customer service they wanted details from me to understand why I felt I shouldn't be charged but could not come up with an itemized list of they fake alleged damages yo the phones. They did not respond to me after that but proceeded to try an charge my bank. SCAM ALERT!

Bark.us I recently came across Bark.us, a platform that claims to help parents monitor their children's online activities to ensure their safety. While the concept behind Bark.us is promising, I can't help but feel that they are missing out on a significant opportunity to assist agencies in keeping kids in residential care safe. As someone who works closely with such agencies, I find their current offerings falling short in addressing the unique challenges faced by these establishments. Bark.us primarily targets parents who want to monitor their children's online interactions, which is undoubtedly important. However, there is a glaring gap when it comes to helping agencies responsible for the care of children in group homes, foster care, or other residential settings. These agencies have a critical need for tools that can help them ensure the safety and well-being of the children under their watch, especially in today's digital age. The missed opportunity lies in the fact that Bark.us could have extended its services to cater to the specific needs of these agencies. Children in residential care are often vulnerable and can be at a higher risk of exposure to online dangers, just like any other child. In fact, the risks might even be amplified due to their circumstances. The agencies responsible for these children need robust tools that can effectively monitor online activities, detect signs of cyberbullying, harassment, or grooming, and intervene to prevent potential harm. Bark.us could have explored features such as: Customizable Alerts for Agencies: Agencies could receive alerts tailored to their unique concerns, enabling them to quickly respond to any potentially harmful situations. Comprehensive Reporting for Accountability: Detailed reports could assist agencies in keeping track of online interactions and demonstrating their efforts to ensure child safety to regulatory bodies. Collaborative Monitoring: A system that allows both agency staff and assigned caregivers to stay informed about a child's online presence would foster a holistic approach to child protection. Integration with Reporting Channels: Direct integration with appropriate authorities or helpline services could streamline the process of reporting any suspicious or dangerous activities. Training and Resources: Offer guidance and resources to agency staff on identifying online risks and implementing best practices for digital safety in a residential care setting. It's disappointing to see that Bark.us has not ventured into this realm. By targeting agencies responsible for children's residential care, Bark.us could have positioned itself as a comprehensive solution for child safety in various contexts. This missed opportunity not only affects the potential growth of Bark.us but also raises concerns about the platform's commitment to the broader goal of child protection. In conclusion, while Bark.us has a valuable concept for monitoring children's online activities, they are missing out on a lucrative opportunity to extend their services to agencies in charge of kids in residential care. The potential to make a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable children is significant, and I hope Bark.us reevaluates their offerings to include these underserved areas of child safety.
