It’s the most helpful tool

“Bark is like the Swiss Army knife of my parenting tool box. I find a new benefit of having it constantly. It’s the most helpful tool I have in keeping my teenagers safe and helping me stay in the know with their crazy world of technology.”

It saved our family

I just want to get on here and say PLEASE get Bark online monitoring. Yesterday it saved our family. Out of respect for our son’s privacy I won’t go into details. But I will say this: (1) we are a family who talks about EVERYTHING on the daily, I literally run a non-profit about kids and mental health… (2) he is an AMAZING, thoughtful, kind, sweet person and (3) he almost got into a situation that would have haunted him for the rest of his life. You need the open communication AND Bark to battle modern childhood.

I love the peace of mind it gives me

We have been a Bark family for over a year and absolutely LOVE it! I previously searched and tried other apps to monitor my children’s online activity and then stumbled upon Bark. We are an iPhone family, and I love the peace of mind it gives me knowing that if there is anything disturbing, risqué, dangerous, etc. that my kids send or receive or watch, that I will get notified.
