Spyware stole my kids data -

They don’t care about anything…. -

Purchased the Bark phone with app Purchased the Bark phone with app. Got it yesterday and after spending 5 hours attempting to set it up and get her apps working I give up. Something like this should not be so complex for an adult with the full access to the app. There is no way to call anyone to walk through the steps and all the answers online refer to mostly just the app not the actual phone. Its ridiculous. It conflicts with google mail for kids to set up a phone as well. Day 2 and im sending it back I already wasted way too much time and energy on figuring this out.

bark phones glitchy; customer service is awful I have bark phones for my two kids. The controls do not work consistently. So far, glitches have resulted in their phones telling them that they’re out of time when they shouldn’t be. This morning my son woke up and his phone said he was out of time already because he had used texting for nine hours over the night. I know that’s not true because my parental controls won’t let him use texting overnight and even if they did, he has a time limit of three hours on all apps. So, literally, using his phone for nine hours is impossible with the settings I have in place. Customer service really sucks. You can’t talk to anybody without scheduling a meeting well in advance. They try their best to handle everything via text and email. It’s awful. By the time they reach out to contact me, it’s while I’m at work and I don’t have my son‘s phone with me etc. For $50 a month per Phone. I expect better service and better performance. I definitely will be looking into alternatives. Really disappointed because I really was hoping Bark worked. On paper, they really seemed like the best option for us.

Terrible Time The phone never worked the way advertised, couldn’t get anyone to fix it for months. Returned it and was still charged $125 and $59 repair fee. The phone that I sent back was in good condition, there was nothing wrong with it. The pictures they sent looked like the phone had been sanded with sandpaper. We did not do that. I didn’t realize I was leasing a phone. It was advertised as “free” when I signed up. It took over a mo for them to agree to refund my $125 but they are keeping the $59. What’s odd to me is they charged my acct $59 on 7/14 so they did receive the phone so why am I having to beg for a refund a mo later on a charge that should never have happened in the first place? This company is highly questionable.
