Bark provides families with all the tools they need to raise kids in the digital age. Our comprehensive service lets you monitor content, manage screen time, and filter websites so you can get peace of mind while your child is online. CONTENT MONITORING Bark monitors your child’s texts, email, YouTube, and 30+ apps and social media platforms for issues like cyberbullying, adult content, sexual predators, profanity, suicidal ideation, threats of violence, and more. Parents receive alerts only when something potentially problematic occurs online. You won’t have full access to everything on your child’s phone — just the things you might need to know about. SCREEN TIME MANAGEMENT Families can set healthy time limits and create schedules for when their children’s devices can connect to the internet (through both cell service and Wi-Fi). WEB FILTERING Our web filter lets you select which websites your child can access on their devices. You can allow or block specific sites — or even whole categories like streaming services, online gaming, sexual content, and more. BARK TESTIMONIALS • "My wife and I LOVE Bark. We've had some tough but productive conversations with our 13-year-old son. It's proving to be extremely valuable." — Josh L. • “It’s just another set of protections we as parents give our kids for the digital environment (or as my 10-year-old calls it, a “cell phone seat belt”). My oldest is a 9th grader, and while I trust her, I’ve come to realize through the alerts that some of her friends aren’t truly her friends. It’s led to some amazing conversations about choosing friends wisely and recognizing toxic people. While she wasn’t for Bark at first, she’s since said she’s grateful that I saw those messages because it reaffirmed what she was feeling but didn’t know how to verbalize without sounding sensitive.” — Bark Parent • "Bark notified me that my young daughter had unknowingly revealed her phone number to strangers on Twitter. The fact that Bark notified me was impressive and led to an informative discussion with her the same day." — Jon B. • “Since Bark alerted us to the suicidal language used in the Google doc that was being used in a chat document with a friend, we have seen both a pediatrician and a licensed counselor. We are hopeful for a positive outcome. Thanks to Bark for letting us peek into our child’s mind!” — Bark Parent • “This app is a lifesaver! It has allowed us to catch so many “red flags” in the content my kids have accessed on their devices and in their interactions with friends and other people online that I wouldn’t have ever known about otherwise. The big difference between Bark and other “Parental Control” software is that Bark allows your kids to have so much more privacy. It doesn’t show you everything they do, but sends an instant alert regarding any activity that might be concerning. Highly recommended!” — Bark Parent With Bark, you can help keep your kids safe both online and in real life. Try it out for seven days absolutely free!

This is impossible to use if you’re over 40 and you have teenage daughters the program is a great idea. However, the interface makes it so incredibly difficult that every day there is a problem with it whether it filters out things that are necessary or it makes life incredibly difficult. this program as the primarily interface does not work unless you’re a high-level computer programmer. Current school normal operations use a Google logon for the schools required programs. The inability to separate school life from personal life is the main complaint that means that children are required to either use a personal or a school sign in to access various programs and based on the variety of the different sign ins required it makes it absolutely impossible to use this app to monitor anything

I know this app is supposed to be helpful for kids (i have a son myself), but as a parent myself i feel like this app is just telling your kids “Say goodbye to privacy” without saying it.

The schedules used to work and now they're not turning her phone off when they're supposed to. Needs an update

Complicated app with too many options hidden everywhere. Nothing is intuitive and you will lose your time each time you need to adjust something. Support is made by lame AI , so be ready to waste your time with that bot as well

This app is clearly not made to function correctly with IOS devices. It was also extremely frustrating that there is no live support but only chat and email support. I tried unsuccessfully for two weeks to set this up on my kids Apple devices…

We had bought a new iPhone 16e for my kiddo, did everything for set up, will analyze for maybe a day or so over WiFi then stops. Troubleshot everything suggested by Bark, still the same problem. This is disappointing because it feels like what was said the app does it actually does not perform how described, super frustrating..

We found this app is not easy. We can’t see our kids texts on their phones, you have to go and add a website when they try to look it up. We want control but it should be when we see necessary on a site and not a have to approve it first. We want to see texts by logging in our phones and see what they are texting. Y’all make a hype about this but it’s horrible.

We love my son’s Bark phone. It allows him to enjoy all the upsides of having a phone, and it only notifies me if there’s an issue, so his privacy is preserved. I’m happy we found this a couple of years ago and we plan to continue using it for many years to come.

This app seems like it could be great so I tried it. After a couple hours I was finally able to get through all the steps but soon realized that it does not provide real time monitoring however the steps I took to set up my daughters phone gave them access to my phone, my computer, and my daughters phone. It won’t allow me to install on my child’s phone without first installing on my computer then plugging her phone into the computer for a 1 hr process to obtain all of her information and since has not monitored her phone. This seems sketchy, especially since there isn’t any way to contact the company to troubleshoot. Be cautious, it seems like a great app to obtain personal info in the guise of keeping your child safe.
