Bark for Chromebooks

Bark Technologies, Inc.

About this app

Bark uses advanced algorithms to detect and proactively alert parents to issues your family faces online, such as bullying, predators, sexual content, and more. You can stay on top of your child's location using our real-time map or location check-in features. We also monitor social media and also block access to specific web sites and harmful categories while only alerting you to potential problems. Bark's approach saves parents valuable time and helps build trust between families.

Using our check-in feature, you can simply press a button to send your current location to your parent. This offers you peace of mind that your child has made it safely to their destination.

To do this, the Bark app will need access to photos/videos, contacts, the list of installed apps on the device, and browsing history. We use Accessibility to monitor your child's third-party message data.

Additionally, we use a VPN service to monitor your child's internet traffic for harmful content even when the app is not in use. Bark collects read and write call log data to enable contact monitoring even when the app is not in use

Ratings and reviews

This app will alert your parents for the tiniest things or things that aren't even inappropriate. my friend sent a video of them skating to me and it marked it as violence. i couldnt use an app i downloaded at all because of bark. And not because it wasnt allowed by my parents, but because bark caused it not to work. This product is also incompatible with Google family link, meaning if you have it it will be impossible for you to go to the app store. fix your product, devs. awful.

The app does not function as intended. my device has been flagging it as malware and the app has made it so that my phone is constantly buffering and cannot connect to the wifi. Please fix your app.

accidentally deleted my review, responding to developer, yep, completely true, vpn makes it so my phone can't function, I don't receive messages or well... anything, I've gotten in trouble for things I didn't say or do on multiple occasions, because jokes were flagged without previous context, bypassing is easy as hell, and it disconnects after a couple days automatically without me doing anything
