| 2024-12-08 |  | | Bark sucks. It sucks. Take my word for it. If you have a bark phone, it's too late. You can't uninstall bark off. It tracks you. I heard from a news article that this app was used to track over 1k people! I have the 4gb plan and it's use 80%, then I used 1p%, AND IT THROTTLED THE PLAN. I can't even use GOOGLE PHOTOS. I'm trying tk get memories from 4 years ago and my mom allowed photos, yet it's still blocked! I don't think this is awesome safety for kids, it's the exact opposite. |
| 2024-08-28 |  | | Bark is terrible. Bark looks at everything in my phone.My texts, gallery,history, and even my location. My phone literally alerts me that this is dangerous for my phone numerous times. So it's not just me saying that it's dangerous. Bark, you'll probably read this. Please just kick us [me and my simbling] out of us paying the company for this. And it got my parent addicted to it, and I'm worried about them. Please 🙏. |
| 2024-08-19 |  | | This app is eating all my data. I was given the 4gb plan, and bark has used 80% with this app alone in 14 days, and I used 10% of it. It has been going through all my emails from school, all my apps, and flags even the most minor things. |
| 2024-08-05 |  | | I have this thing on my phone and I absolutely hate it but it does its job. All these other kids talk about "privacy" and how they have none bc of this app but it's only because they do stuff they know they shouldn't do. This app let's your parents see everything you do and it's Fair, they are your parents and they deserve to know what you're doing on ur phone. They can block and unblock your phone if your on too long and while it's annoying it's justified. So any kids who say bad stuff are dumb |
| 2024-07-26 |  | | It's OK, but when u install apps or games, ur games or apps are blocked until ur parent or guardian sees it and approves it's It's annoying that I have to ask a lot . 2 •1.8 reviews I understand those kids it invades ur privacy with friends and chats and then parents ask about stuff, another thing no media if u have "that kinds of parents " I can't even have Google soo yeah 2 breaks trust , 3 TIMERS REALLY I don't think it's really necessary like and sometimes it says u have no more time pls fix |
| 2024-06-30 |  | | This app is making things worse for kids. First of all, the app sends notifications to my parents whenever there is even a swear word, and it monitors EVERYTHING. That's not even a lie. It feels like I'm being stalked by someone I trusted my whole life. Now I don't want to talk to my mom. The app allows parents to completely invade a child's privacy by seeing texts, photos, search history, and more. This app just removes privacy from everything, now I don't even want to use my phone anymore. |
| 2024-06-22 |  | | Bark sucks! From constant errors, to no freedom, I have a bark phone so I can't delete this. This isn't "awesome safety for kids" this sucks... |
| 2024-06-04 |  | | This app is absolutely @$s I get no privacy to talk to friends not only that but it Tracks u |
| 2024-01-21 |  | | This app is absolutely trash it tracks everything I do and I can't just joke around with my friends and my mom can block everything and gives me absolutely no freedom and when my friend texts me something that's about his private life my parents can see what I text so they know now. And it stalks me everywhere I go and gives me no privacy. |
| 2024-01-19 |  | | I love how this app keeps me protected from any form of danger in virtual and ransom activities, but this app could use some improvement. I have to rely on my parents for everything, from installing apps to getting new contacts. I can't even call anyone without getting hung up on. Long story short, I appreciate the safety measures, but I hate how it invades my privacy and I can't installing apps. |
