Bark Kids for Positive User Reviews

✓ Not the end of the world(This is coming from a teen boys perspective) So my mother put this on my phone because I was doing things that a 13 year old should never be doing on the internet which is why it didn’t come as a surprise to me when she put this on my phone. I really couldn’t deny that I needed this sooooo yea. I understand why you would need this as a parent. As a teen tho it’s quite annoying. One time I was talking in a group chat and we were talking about how we were all gonna block someone’s contact who wasn’t even in the chat and it was reported to my mom as bullying and she ended up using this app to find out all the drama that was going on because it was all counted as bullying and violence. However even after all this I still get the point of the app and it works very good (maybe a little too good) but it’s not the worst thing that’s ever happened to me and I understand why this was put onto my phone. All the reviews before me are very hateful and honestly don’t complain about your parents being concerned about ur well being. Does it invade a quarter of ur privacy, yes. Can it be annoying, yes. But it’s all to keep u safe and honestly people that complain that the world is ending because of this need to get a life and stop being so hateful. It doesn’t make u cool by hating things or using profanity all the dang time. Most people are just mad because it exposes them for what they actually do and say..Just a random teen lolVersion: 3.5

✓ THIS IS A GREAT APP CONCEPTYes you need privacy as a kid, bring it up with your parents like a grown up if you want to be treated like one. Your parents are protecting you from the worst of society and you don’t even understand yet because as the saying goes you don’t know what you don’t know. Your parents love the crap out of you and they want to make sure that their naive little babies don’t die. When you get your own phone with your own bill that you pay for you will have privacy..HxaldhjwkckelahcVersion: 3.4

✓ It’s not bad butI’m a child and it’s not even that bad, just really undesirable to have on your phone. So far I haven’t had any bad experiences and stuff but I would rather just not have it in my phone..The one piece israelVersion: 3.7.0

✓ It’s fineAs a teen with this app on my device, I really don’t care that much. I actually appreciate it on my phone because it’s extremely easy to turn off with out my parents noticing. The only down side is that when you are turning off the app, you have to physiologically trick your parents a bit which is do-able..Retard09Version: 4.0.0

✓ Not my Favorite but it’s goodAs a preteen in my opinion my parents got this to protect me. I understand that completely but I do have a slight problem with it because it affects my pandora and Pinterest and also sometimes affects the games I have on my phone. That’s one of the only reasons I removed one star also I wish that not everything that involves drama would be reported as bullying but overal it is a good app to have if you do have a younger child I do believe that it’s not really suiting for older kids. A good idea for a feature it could have is maybe a alert feature where parents can just send alerts to the child/children about things and it would just make a little chime and let them now but where it appears on the whole screen for a minute and as much as I’m trying to make this a Positive review it makes me feel like my parents don’t trust me. I have problems with thinking people hate me and/or I did something wrong sometimes and this dosent really help. ( I noticed that the comments/ feedback for almost every review is the same)._lemonade_Version: 3.6.4

✓ A lot of upset teensThe reason this app has low reviews is because of the teens mad about it. I scanned a ton of reviews to see if any of them really complained about app functionality. I have Bark because my daughter is in a split household. My ex doesn’t inform me of anything concerning and trying to talk to my daughter was hard because the ex always ran blockage. So I got my kid, who is 10 and is still young, a phone so we can talk. Bark makes it where I don’t look like a bad parent in the eyes of the legal system by giving her unrestricted access to the internet. When she becomes a teenager this will change, but until then I think this app serves its purposes that it needs to serve. To keep an eye on my kid in her younger years. My only complaint is that Bark wasn’t truly designed for a split household. But I am sure they will eventually address that better..LighteswordVersion: 3.6.1

✓ Does what it’s supposed to, but doesn’t mean it’s for you16 year old perspective. Long story short, it created distrust and a rift between me and my parents because of the unnecessary restrictions. Which led to me being sneaky and getting away with things anyways and eventually deleting the app because it was doing nothing but preventing me from using my phone for what phones are supposed to be used for. Being communication, education, music, all of that was blocked because it blocked the internet. Now if you have a healthy child-parent relationship this app might work just fine, but be careful of unnecessary restrictions and potential for destruction of your child’s trust. If you don’t properly handle the issue of privacy, which all people, no matter their condition or age deserve, it could result in your child being sneaky and losing trust and respect in their parent. If you read this far thank you and I hope this helped you, have a wonderful day..PeachT4lifeVersion: 3.5.1

✓ Teen POVMy parents found this app to help with a personal situation involving inappropriate ads constantly showing up on my phone, and it was almost unavoidable with the pictures and words and everything that a younger teen shouldn’t be exposed to at that age. Many other incidents encouraged my parents to download this, and I’m very glad they did. The only problem is that bark is a little too sensitive without the right settings, and for a while I practically couldn’t do anything on my phone. I had it like this for 2 years, and I feel like even after I begged them to change it just a little bit for a long time, they still didnt, and again I’m happy they waited. It made me super careful about searching online. Now that I’m older it’s become just a tiny bit harder, but now that bark is practically non existent and only alerts my parents for super bad stuff now (after a good amount of research to figure it out, making the only reason I only put 4 stars is because of the complexity of the settings). I feel like the settings should start off strong but gradually become more relaxed as a child matures. This app really helped me it my case, and I encourage parents to not look at the 1 star reviews by (cough cough) irresponsible kids (cough), but go by their gut, because even though a child can be right in some cases, a parent knows more about the safety of their child than the child themselves in some cases..Bigfan_uslessstufVersion: 3.3

✓ More parents should be reviewing this appI appreciate this whole set up. Kids now days do NOT understand that their parents are there to keep them safe. This app helps the parents do EXACTLY that. My view is that parents don’t HAVE to let their kids have cell phones but they choose to anyway and therefore anything that is said or done on said phone is at the discretion of the parent- regardless of what the child/children say. The complaints on this app’s reviews are just entitled kids who want to complain and aren’t appreciative of what their parents are doing for them… except they are complaining in the wrong direction. This world is a very dangerous place and there are so many ways to reach young unsuspecting teens. The app isn’t cheap and at first I was a little taken aback by the price but for everything the app does- I’ll pay for it to keep my girls safe and if other parents are paying for the same thing- they have the same sentiment I do. I have a background in law enforcement so I know that there are predators out there. I will be more relaxed knowing my kids are on their own with their friends and they have their phones with them and I can still know where the heck they are at and what is going on. Great app. Keep up the GREAT work and thank you for creating an awesome app! Just wanted you to know that your work is NOT going unnoticed..HHALL630Version: 3.2.8

✓ BarkLike other teens I have done things that a 13-year-old is not supposed to do and obviously parents found out I got in trouble and got Bark on my phone honestly I hate it it’s so annoying but it’s stopped me from doing all the immature things that I did when I wasn’t supposed to be doing it because I’m too afraid of getting in more trouble so yeah it stopped me from getting in a lot of trouble and I looked back and realized all of that stuff I did is stupid and immature and now having this on my phone yeah it’s annoying but I feel like honestly some comfort in my life knowing that my parents are watching my every move if your parents are watching everything you do that’s going to stop you from doing the stuff you usually did even though all the stuff I did before wasn’t that bad it’s still bad and I’m comforted knowing that I stop doing that my parents and our relationship benefited from this I feel so much closer to my parents now, yeah I still listen to music that gets me in trouble and yeah I still talk to my friends and call them stupid and that’s apparently bullying on BARK I mean that’s what friends do but I am very comforted knowing that my parents relationship is much better from this app than it was before. So in a weird way thanks BARK..GhjghydVersion: 3.5

✓ Another Teen’s PerspectiveAlright! I can definitely see how this can help parents, especially if they have a teen who needs a lil more supervision. I’ve had some issues before and my parents hadn’t known about this app, but I’ve grown and gotten through that (it’s been years). Now I agree that this app can be important, but the sensitivity of these notifications are awful. My mom got a notification about a message I sent to her about getting a knife to cut the ham we had for a dinner. It sends her notifications about messages that are “medically concerning” when my friends tell why they weren’t at school. This is probably one of the only problems I have with Bark though. In all reality it’s allowed for my mom to give me more trust while I’m on my phone and in turn given me more respect for my mom since she isn’t always searching my phone. Bark is a great resource for parents and I think they have a great mission. To all the other teens saying it’s awful, it’s probably the best option for you and your parents. Be thankful for what you have and please, stay safe!.Emily R CollinsVersion: 3.7.0
