Barkio: Dog Monitor & Pet Cam for Negative User Reviews

✓ Good so farWorks how it is supposed to so far..FckMingYangVersion: 6.2.2

✓ Top 5Gerry good service.Tamilini.TVersion: 6.2.2

✓ Waste of money!Brought this app because it was the only one I could find on windows computer and iPhone and man it sucked, there is 0 notifications on sound or movement, it just makes a horrible noise and do not recommend paying for the upgrade! What a waste of money this app was. Thankfully I don’t need it full time and continue using the OG app as I don’t need two viewing screens now..SiobumVersion: 2.1.2

✓ OkOk.Sevdam2831Version: 6.1.2

✓ Not very good.I’m shocked at how many good reviews there are for this app. We had to use this app because our blink camera broke, we let it go past the trial on accident completely forgetting about it, paid $60? I think for a yearly premium membership and this is just absolutely the worst pet camera I’ve ever had to use. It has nice features and it could be amazing. But half the time I’m getting notifications for the camera not being able to monitor in the background, the camera won’t load more than half the time, the activity log won’t load either so I can’t even see things if I’m not actively watching the camera when it actually decides to load which is barely ever. I’m just annoyed because we kinda have to use it since we paid for the premium and they wouldn’t let us refund it through Apple. I usually don’t leave reviews but this app is just so bad..KatiesalataVersion: 6.1.2

✓ Good, but not too good.For now it’s a 2 Star rating. I bought the Premium to see what my dog is doing. But I get errors all the time, watching the saved Videos of 7sec only if they open, having a steady camera screen is also a problem it mostly shuts off after a few seconds. The Dogstation is plugged in and has a 1 GB wifi in the house so it shouldn’t be a problem. When I have full LTE it’s still not working properly so I am sure it’s not a connection problem caused by internet. Please check if you have server problems or anything..LownatorVersion: 4.2.4

✓ Barkio appThis app has helped manage my pups separation anxiety so well. I haven’t used the see or talk to him feature much but the video monitoring and notifications are amazing. Only thing that’s a little frustrating is the sensitivity to noise. I will leave my pup with a bone or long lasting chew whenever I leave, and the app always picks up the noises of him playing or chewing and send me a notification to say he’s being noisy. This adds up and I end up with 10 notifications that can concern me when it turns out he’s just happily playing. Overall, the app is one of the best out there..MaddieosuVersion: 6.2.2

✓ Works!Free version is a little weak for features but all in all solid app!.Scot44!Version: 6.2.0

✓ Audio playback not workingI’ve been loving this app but lately audio playback isn’t working - it says to wait as the sound isn’t available yet, but this is for all sounds regardless of how long ago they occurred. Hopefully you can get that fixed soon? I can still listen live. Would also be cool to add a feature that only alerts you for extended periods of noise..DaveL95Version: 6.2.2

✓ Mostly great but has glitchesI really love how many features this app has. I’m able to record commands, talk to my dog, put on alerts for sounds and motion, and more. The thing is that not all the features work all the time - I find that most of the video clips recorded when motion is detected literally never load! Also it took ages to get motion detection to work.Al McMullinVersion: 3.4.1

✓ DecentOne of the better pet monitoring apps out there, definitely appreciate the ability to play back any noises that happen when I’m away. The amount of time you get on the monitor without premium is definitely a downside though. You are able to extend it quite a bit doing things like sharing and stuff though. Tbh I’m writing this review just so I can keep monitoring my kitten.MSB652Version: 6.1.2

✓ Bad when you don’t payI tried this app without paying, it was bad because you can only monitor your pet a certain amount of times before it tells you you run out of time for the day. It was very disappointing. Now I have payed it is VERY good I love it so much!!!.96386396261926939626Version: 5.1.0

✓ Try for free hoaxI like the app but I’m so annoyed after being offered a try for free option if I signed up for a subscription. I decided minutes after purchasing that I didn’t need premium and was unable to cancel the subscription. The try for free banner is false advertising for a free trial and now I’m out over £30. Still waiting for hear from support to see if they can fix this mess..J262022Version: 5.0.0

✓ Wish there was a mute settingThis is very convenient and useful except it doesn’t respect my phone’s mute and is pretty loud so I can’t check on my dog when I’m at work unless I want all my coworkers to hear my dog barking. Also can’t use the app if I have music playing on my phone. But it’s already come in handy because when I randomly checked the feed over lunch I found my dog had escaped his crate 😅 Also discovered a little late there’s a sound sensitivity setting on the desktop dog station, that will help me figure out if my dog is actually causing a fuss rather than it picking up on the quiet music I put on for him. (Which is probably why it didn’t give me a notification for the racket of him escaping).Duskwitch6Version: 6.0.0

✓ App works when it wants toUPDATE: I deleted the app and installed "Dog Monitor" it does everything Barkio claims it does but actually follows through with their promises. If you delete Barkio be sure to also cancel your subscription. I have emailed the company in regards to my issue and I got an email back saying they would look into why I am having issues and I never got another response. ISSUES 1. The app will work and just hours later it will stop working giving me messages saying that it searching for an available station. 2. I have my iPad set up to never let the screen turn off or lock and the app seems to never want to communicate with my phone. 3. Sometimes I will connect the app before I leave home and I will get walk to my car and it looses connection. I will be deleting the app and investing in one that is more reliable..Cali626v504Version: 3.1.0

✓ Glitchy when replaying audio (app crashes)Just trying this out to see if it meets our needs and generally fairly impressed when the premium functionality is active. Unfortunately have experienced a few problems with audio clips not uploading properly which makes the app crash. Have raised with the customer support team and they are looking into it. Won’t be subscribing until I know the issue is resolved..Wendycb73Version: 6.2.2
