Scam charges I returned the phones as requested by bark company to terminate services. The service was very glitchy and insufficient and over priced. After returning phones that were in good shape no scratches no damage nothing....bark emailed stating ill be charged 59.00 for repairs. There was no details regarding their fake allegations just a statement that I'll be charged. I immediately reached out to customer service they wanted details from me to understand why I felt I shouldn't be charged but could not come up with an itemized list of they fake alleged damages yo the phones. They did not respond to me after that but proceeded to try an charge my bank. SCAM ALERT!

Impossible to Cancel - Misleading Billing Practices I purchased a device with Bark parental control software pre-installed, but soon realized the extremely intrusive monitoring was not suitable for my needs as an adult user with Autism. When I attempted to cancel service through their website and app, I encountered constant runaround and deception from Bark representatives. No matter how many times I clicked "cancel account", Bark would claim there was a "technical issue" preventing cancellation and that I needed to contact support for help. When contacting support via email and phone, I was given circular explanations that made no sense and seemed intentionally confusing. Even after explicitly stating I wished to cancel service multiple times, Bark continued to bill my credit card monthly fees. When I disputed the charges, they tried claiming the recurring payments were somehow not under their control despite being the service provider. I filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau detailing Bark's misleading cancellation practices and inability to process a standard request to stop services. Other online reviews show I am one of many dealing with similar deceit from Bark when trying to end the account relationship. Unless major changes are made to simplify and properly respect cancellation requests from users, I cannot recommend Bark's parental control software due to their unethical business operations focused on stringing customers along rather than honoring basic consumer rights. Proceed with extreme caution or select an alternative provider.

I purchased and installed Bark parental… I purchased and installed Bark parental controls for my pre-teen and have had nothing but issues with it. Half the time the app fails to monitor and report in with zero tampering by my child. Their iOS monitoring is a joke as it requires the computer monitoring the device to be connected to the same wireless network for any of the features to work. Children can too easily circumvent monitoring by making minor changes to phone settings outside of Bark. I canceled my annual subscription after only 3 months and they said the service wouldn't re-bill on the 1 year anniversary, but made ZERO offers to give a prorated refund. This app and it's company are a waste of time and money and do NOT keep my child any safer than leaving the phone wide open. It gives the parents a FALSE sense of security at best. If you truly want to keep your children safe, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SERVICE

Bark Parental Control App review Bark Parental Control App review Bark DOES NOT work consistently with Apple products. It seemed that time that Apple had an update, Bark stopped working and we’d have to spend HOURS on email (you can’t call Bark - you have to set up an appointment to talk - days in advance!) and also with Apple. Don’t ever give your credit card to Bark. They renewed our subscription, even though we continued to have problems with it working. We asked for a refund within 3 weeks but they somehow talked us into trying to get it to work again. It temporarily (never went for more than a few weeks with all devices backing up to it,) so we asked to cancel a few months later. They refused stating that their terms if service are to offer NO REFUNDS. If you have $99 to burn and hours and hours of time to devote throughout the year to getting Bark to work again, then go for it. If not, find another monitoring software!

This phone sucked and my child hated… This phone sucked and my child hated it. He used it for maybe a few weeks and then I asked if he wanted me to return it and he said yes. It was literally is perfect condition and always has its case on it. I get sent photos of it all scratched up front and back the funny part is the imei is on the back of the phone where they showed the photos.. not smart because that wasn't the imei of my phone. I demanded a refund, I doubt I get one. But I want others to know not to bother with this bs or their bs "customer service"
