What Parents Are Saying
Bark actually notified us of serious suicidal thoughts and our son just completed a two week stint in the hospital where he received treatment and was diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Thanks to the app we were notified. We are very appreciative.
— Bark Dad
Bark [is] the best $9 I spend every month. My daughter was cyberbullied a few months ago and it’s easier to monitor any concerns without totally invading her privacy. I only get notifications if there are items of concern (sex, depression, bullying, profanity, etc.) Totally worth it!
— Bark Mom
Brilliant & simple way to help keep my kids safer online.
— Bark Dad
What I appreciate the most is the ability to monitor without snooping. This allows my children to maintain a sense of independence and privacy, while allowing me the opportunity to involve myself only when necessary to provide guidance. It helps me grow future responsible, productive adults.
