• (2025-07-06) Harper Evans: This sucks
• (2025-06-04) C Lew: this app sucks veiny dihh
• (2025-03-26) Zachary Student: buns
• (2025-03-04) Kadence Edwards: This app is a scam. It will steal your data and passwords.
• (2025-02-05) Mistress Mangle: I had to give one star because less is not an option. What utter garbage! What good is a monitoring app if it cannot be hidden? There is NO WAY to hide, rename, or otherwise make this stupid extension less obvious. Any parent knows that if you tell your kids you are watching, they will just learn to hide stuff better. Hopefully the device works better. I mean, if you are dealing with toddlers, this might be useful. Two thumbs down!
• (2025-01-25) George Crouch: This extension is flawed with multiple severe security vulnerabilities. Read more at: https://www.barkscam.com/
• (2025-01-23) Rae: GUYS, PLEASE BEWARE! Bark can access your passwords, email address, and IP address (if under certain settings). It has very weak security and if hacked into, you could lose ALL YOUR DATA to HACKERS and SCAMMERS. PLEASE BE AWARE DO NOT USE BARK
• (2024-11-23) William Jefferies: This is complete and utter bull. I would give this zero stars if it would let me.
• (2024-10-23) Richard Axford: Wouldn't this be restricting their access to websites where they play their games or listen to music or watch videos
• (2024-09-23) Bahige Saad: Horrible Extension, it blew up my phone when I was trying to uninstall it.
• (2024-09-22) Ella Marini: Horrible. Please don't consider letting your kids use it. Strips kids of all their privacy, and makes them feel like they have to tiptoe around you and the restrictions you've set. App has good intentions, but a horrible, horrible impact on the kids, who will likely grow up to be secretive, untrusting adults.
• (2024-05-18) Luci Abbott: - The reviews on the site are fake. If you right click a profile picture and select "view in new tab", the image will unblur. Sometimes it will say "stock image" /in the URL/. And when it doesn't, you can right click again and reverse image search, which will lead you /to stock photo websites/. And if you copy + paste the reviews into Google and hit go, the reviews (which are mock FaceBook posts) won't show up, only /the bark website/. Because they aren't real posts. They don't exist on FB. - This app warns parents about /everything/. My mom keeps telling me that I don't know how Bark works and that it doesn't tell her everything I do, but it flags me going to Deviant Art, talking about Lemon Demon, saying "oh my God"(---or OMG!), saying "never gonna give you up", using the word "hot" or talking about /anything/ LGBTQ+ related. - Parental controls only teach kids to not trust anyone and how to do things in secret. - Kids have different views from their parents and that is okay. They shouldn't be punished for that.
• (2024-02-25) Wyatt Huynh: Dont Download this!!! I take perfect care of my pc and make sure to keep everything cleaned up so it doesnt run like garbage but it just keeps lagging.my google will randomly close and i cant do anything about it (┬┬﹏┬┬)
• (2024-02-03) Robert Larson: peice of trash
• (2024-01-11) Zander Smith: put on and did absolutely nothing.
• (2023-12-17) john parr: This is the worst extension to ever exist. It destroys your relationship with your parents completely. If your parents install this for you, please talk to them about it. It is a complete invasion of privacy and should not exist at all. If your parents get this for you, the are truly just terrible parents and don't have any trust for you. This is so messed up honestly. My parents are even looking through my computer here and there and checking discord WHERE I KEEP ALL MY PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS. They check everything. I've lost all of my friends because of this app and i can't get them back because of 1. bark and 2. being an introvert. This app is destroying me and my relationship with my parents. Google, if you see this, please take this off the chrome extension store and off google play. This app completely violates your privacy. I understand we aren't legal adults and don't have rights yet and that our parents can technically do this to us as our parent, but still. This app is so messed up. You can't curse, cant talk about anything related to mental health, violence, anything like that. I try talking to my friends about issues in my life and my depression and it gets flagged. My mom comes along and doesnt like it. Cuts off all cords with that friend. It just makes your mental health so much worse. Parents, if youre seeing this, please, just please, dont get this for your child. The only way they will learn is through experience. You cant train them for whats out there if they dont have access too it. I understand you dont want them on p_fsdfsdf_0_sfgsdfg_r_asdfsdg_n and stuff like that but theyre just kids they wont be on that stuff. Stop doing this to them. It will destroy your relationship with them and it is a terrible choice. Please dont do this to your kid. -A 6th grader with depression and messed up parents
• (2023-12-02) Looking4Magic: I hate this. My bond with my parents is going lower by each step because of this stupid thing. I can't have any privacy, and this app puts you in a position where you are worried about hackers and other things like that. I feel uncomfortable asking my friends to text me when they have problems, because their personal lives can be read by my parents. They keep telling me they don't look at the alerts, and yet I can feel our relationship severing. This app is a complete joke, and I can't wait to get away from my overly-invasive parents, and this overly-invasive app. This is ruining my childhood.

• (2023-08-05) Flash crashz (AMOGUS EHHEHE): super bad to be honest
• (2023-08-05) private: super bad to be honest
• (2023-07-05) pink cookies: this does not monitor really anything maybe bc norton family blocked it
• (2023-06-23) Spider1i1y: I know I'm gonna sound like every other teenager on this app, but this sucks. I had this on my phone and after a week it was lagging. I kept restarting it, fixing my internet, it was just bark itself. It's basically a whole virus that takes over your device. Bark doesn't just monitor "sexual" material like p**n it also monitors what is considered "cyber bullying." Why should bark tell my mom that I told my bsf "Loser" or anything like that. The cyber bullying images that are shown on the Barks' website are just stupid. I have friends vent to me and I don't need some virus to notify my mother about it so she can read it too. They're my friends, not my mothers. I feel bad when I have to tell my friends that they can't vent to me because some app is going to send it to my nosy mother. This app made me lose all trust with my parents.

• (2023-05-04) Zaire Williams (Glitch): An invasion of privacy, I am also extremally disappointed that my mom had to put this on here. this just shows their child that their parents don't trust them with google or any other website or app. I had found this extension because I had seen it, because I was trying to get some Roblox web extensions. The only thing this shows kids is that their parents don't trust them. this doesn't teach kids any lesson, or tell them to be safer, (okay just a little bit.) it shows them that their parents doesn't care about their privacy and if younger kids can comprehend this, then that means that they will think that they don't have to care for others privacy. This can also ruin relationships with kids and parents. 0/10 app, would NEVER recommend to anybody.

• (2023-04-27) Cs: Bark is a virus. Straight as that. While is provides somewhat of an insider to what a child may be doing online its methods are to have unwanted access to accounts and devices. The safety features flaunted by Bark is all just a trojan horse for personal information, records, and much more to be put at risk from attackers or be maliciously extracted by those who authored Bark. Another issue to Bark is its flagging feature which flags common phrases that could be used in multiple contexts. This extension is invasive and does not do what it is advertised to do. It does not keep children safe. It does not guarantee a safer environment. All it is is a company nobody even in the tech world has heard of that is trying to market towards exploitable customers, parents/school administrators. Under no circumstances should this ever be used by businesses or even government entities/agencies.

• (2023-04-25) Felix Sundwall: This may sound petty, but, I had full axes to everything on my chrome book, and I had full privacy, but now I can't even talk to my Bf because of it! on top of that I can't use my phone for the same damn reason. my computer is very slow now and takes forever to load; I wish that this app never existed. If I could, I'd give this a one star review. and to all parents, please just trust your child, if you think they are going to do something stupid, then let them! they need to make mistakes to grow up, but they also need there freedom and privacy. this app has made me grow distant from my mother and puts me in a state of Anxiety all the time fearing that she is going to fined something on my phone that she deems "inappropriate" so parents, please don't do this to your child, it's only going to make things worse....trust me...

• (2023-03-14) Connor: You may think that this is a petty review from a teenager who thinks they know everything, and you might be right. However, you could also be wrong. I barely had this app for a day, and my phone already doesn't work. It broke my whole phone down to where I couldn't even talk to my friends or text anyone without having to wait about 1 to 3 hours before having my message either being or not delivered. I also couldn't use the majority of my apps because they were stuck loading forever. It got so bad to where I am having to go to my computer to do things I should be able to do on my phone. Before I got bark, my phone was very responsive and fast, however after it was significantly slow. Their website claims that their app "only slows down internet speeds in minor ways". This is not true whatsoever. I should also add that setting up bark is an over-excessive pain. Their customer service was also unresponsive. They should not charge the amount that they do for a shabby app.

• (2023-03-04) Sofia Rolong: Ok so, my parents put Bark on my Chromebook and it really just made grow apart from my parents. I understand that this is just trying to keep me safe, but it will flag the stupidest little things ever! Also I can't go on any websites now like Amazon. It's so dumb! Now I'm just afraid to talk to my friends because my parents can see every little thing that is flagged. Also if I'm on a group chat with one person that I don't have saved in my contacts it flags it, I might have just not saved them, this app/extension is also making my Chromebook work way slower. This gives me ZERO PRIVACY with my parents, like some things I just DON'T want to share with them. I don't feel ok with my parents looking at everything I search/watch/post. It also can see what you search in incognito mode. I'm not so sure I'm right about this but... I don't think it matters what device you're on, as long as you linked the account you're using right then, it can flag what you see. Thank you for reading this, have a great day/night.

• (2023-01-12) Awesomdood: To be honest, this app isn't as horrible as people in the reviews say. I've never experienced any kind of hack or glitch that was caused by this, and i've had this for about 6-7 years tops. I do believe that this app isn't the best, though. It's good when you write down the idea on a sheet of paper, but the app is not a very good program in general.The app is trigger happy, and most people feel like they don't have privacy from using it on personal devices. I do want to say, I've never felt any disruption in my privacy, since this was never used on any of my personal devices. I do think that some problems with this app could be fixed easily, though, but I'm not absolutely sure they can work or be coded easily. But one big thing about this app that I despise... THE REVIEWS. I do think that a couple of 1 star reviews are actually reliable, but any other reviews don't feel helpful in any kind of way. Some of these reviews are kids whining about "ME PARENTS WATCH AND ME NO LIKE THAT' or "APP GAVE ME VIRUS DON'T DOWNLOAD," but to be honest, those reviews are getting annoying, since I have gotten no kind of virus out of using this program, and I haven't made my parents breathe down my neck just to see what I'm looking up. (I'm not a saint, btw.) If people did get a virus, It might have not been bark that's been the source of the virus. I've also seen people complain about "SCHOOL DOWNLOAD THIS AND ME NO LIKE" I mean, the school devices are still school property... They don't want you to look up anything that's suggestive. Overall, I think this app is survivable, but could use some changes.
