Description
Bark Kids is the free child companion app for both Bark and Bark Jr. To use it, you’ll need to have an established Bark account and install Bark Kids on your child’s device. Here are the features this app enables:
SCREEN TIME MANAGEMENT
Families can set healthy time limits and create schedules for when their children’s devices can connect to the internet (through both cell service and Wi-Fi).
WEB FILTERING
Our web filter lets you select which websites your child can access on their devices. You can allow or block specific sites — or even whole categories like streaming services, online gaming, sexual content, and more.
CHECK-INS
Check-Ins are an easy way for families to get peace of mind when their kids are out and about. Rather than sending a "Did you get there?" or "Where are you?" text, you can rely on a GPS-based location confirmation from your children to verify that they've safely arrived at their destinations. It can even give you step-by-step directions via Google Maps so you can meet them where they are if necessary.
PERSONAL ACCOUNT CONNECTIONS
The Bark Kids app allows kids to connect their own accounts to Bark’s monitoring service (not available with Bark Jr). By allowing them to connect directly to our monitoring service, they get more privacy without having to share their usernames or passwords.
WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
- "My wife and I LOVE Bark. We've had some tough but productive conversations with our 13-year-old son. It's proving to be extremely valuable." — Josh L.
- “It’s just another set of protections we as parents give our kids for the digital environment (or as my 10-year-old calls it, a “cell phone seat belt”). My oldest is a 9th grader, and while I trust her, I’ve come to realize through the alerts that some of her friends aren’t truly her friends. It’s led to some amazing conversations about choosing friends wisely and recognizing toxic people. While she wasn’t for Bark at first, she’s since said she’s grateful that I saw those messages because it reaffirmed what she was feeling but didn’t know how to verbalize without sounding sensitive.” — Bark Parent
- "Bark notified me that my young daughter had unknowingly revealed her phone number to strangers on Twitter. The fact that Bark notified me was impressive and led to an informative discussion with her the same day." — Jon B.
- “Since Bark alerted us to the suicidal language used in the Google doc that was being used in a chat document with a friend, we have seen both a pediatrician and a licensed counselor. We are hopeful for a positive outcome. Thanks to Bark for letting us peek into our child’s mind!” — Bark Parent
- “This app is a lifesaver! It has allowed us to catch so many “red flags” in the content my kids have accessed on their devices and in their interactions with friends and other people online that I wouldn’t have ever known about otherwise. The big difference between Bark and other “Parental Control” software is that Bark allows your kids to have so much more privacy. It doesn’t show you everything they do, but sends an instant alert regarding any activity that might be concerning. Highly recommended!” — Bark Parent
With Bark, you can help keep your kids safe both online and in real life. Try it out for seven days absolutely free!

From a teens pov
I like to have my privacy and this app totally invades it. Im a 14 year old girl who has friends and texts them, I don’t like that they have full control over it. I have stuff on my phone that’s just for me, I vent to myself, I tell all my secrets and problems to my best friends. There’s a reason I don’t tell my parents. There is a much better approach to parents controlling what their kids do and it’s not Bark. This app shouldn’t be a thing. If parents really have to use this app that means their parents don’t trust them. Teach your child how you can earn their trust and give them the privacy they need. As a teenager in todays world it’s much different then when parents were our age and in my opinion something needs to be done about this privacy stuff. It’s basically an app you pay for bc you don’t trust your child. Make them earn your trust don’t resort to having an app that looks at every single thin in their phone bc it can get into the wrong peoples hands. Parenting is not the same as it used to be and parents need to realize that. It messed up my phone, I can’t play game pigeon with anyone, I can’t send pictures, Pinterest isn’t even working, I can’t look up anything, it’s too restrictive and all around a bad app. It makes me feel like I’m a child again. If my parents want me to be more responsible and mature on phone then treat me like a mature person and not have this stupid app on my phone that makes me feel restricted and like I’m on a leash.
Just a random teen lol,
Not the end of the world
(This is coming from a teen boys perspective) So my mother put this on my phone because I was doing things that a 13 year old should never be doing on the internet which is why it didn’t come as a surprise to me when she put this on my phone. I really couldn’t deny that I needed this sooooo yea. I understand why you would need this as a parent. As a teen tho it’s quite annoying. One time I was talking in a group chat and we were talking about how we were all gonna block someone’s contact who wasn’t even in the chat and it was reported to my mom as bullying and she ended up using this app to find out all the drama that was going on because it was all counted as bullying and violence. However even after all this I still get the point of the app and it works very good (maybe a little too good) but it’s not the worst thing that’s ever happened to me and I understand why this was put onto my phone. All the reviews before me are very hateful and honestly don’t complain about your parents being concerned about ur well being. Does it invade a quarter of ur privacy, yes. Can it be annoying, yes. But it’s all to keep u safe and honestly people that complain that the world is ending because of this need to get a life and stop being so hateful. It doesn’t make u cool by hating things or using profanity all the dang time. Most people are just mad because it exposes them for what they actually do and say.

Teen POV
My parents found this app to help with a personal situation involving inappropriate ads constantly showing up on my phone, and it was almost unavoidable with the pictures and words and everything that a younger teen shouldn’t be exposed to at that age. Many other incidents encouraged my parents to download this, and I’m very glad they did. The only problem is that bark is a little too sensitive without the right settings, and for a while I practically couldn’t do anything on my phone. I had it like this for 2 years, and I feel like even after I begged them to change it just a little bit for a long time, they still didnt, and again I’m happy they waited. It made me super careful about searching online. Now that I’m older it’s become just a tiny bit harder, but now that bark is practically non existent and only alerts my parents for super bad stuff now (after a good amount of research to figure it out, making the only reason I only put 4 stars is because of the complexity of the settings). I feel like the settings should start off strong but gradually become more relaxed as a child matures. This app really helped me it my case, and I encourage parents to not look at the 1 star reviews by (cough cough) irresponsible kids (cough), but go by their gut, because even though a child can be right in some cases, a parent knows more about the safety of their child than the child themselves in some cases.
HHALL630,
More parents should be reviewing this app
I appreciate this whole set up. Kids now days do NOT understand that their parents are there to keep them safe. This app helps the parents do EXACTLY that. My view is that parents don’t HAVE to let their kids have cell phones but they choose to anyway and therefore anything that is said or done on said phone is at the discretion of the parent- regardless of what the child/children say. The complaints on this app’s reviews are just entitled kids who want to complain and aren’t appreciative of what their parents are doing for them… except they are complaining in the wrong direction.
This world is a very dangerous place and there are so many ways to reach young unsuspecting teens. The app isn’t cheap and at first I was a little taken aback by the price but for everything the app does- I’ll pay for it to keep my girls safe and if other parents are paying for the same thing- they have the same sentiment I do.
I have a background in law enforcement so I know that there are predators out there. I will be more relaxed knowing my kids are on their own with their friends and they have their phones with them and I can still know where the heck they are at and what is going on.
Great app. Keep up the GREAT work and thank you for creating an awesome app! Just wanted you to know that your work is NOT going unnoticed.

Not the best
This is coming from a teens prospective. I am the type of teen who wants a little privacy. I get it that parents want to make sure there kids are doing good things but let them do stuff they want. They might not do stuff you support but before you yell at them ask them why they do it. They might not honestly understand that it’s bad. Teens are figuring things out and questioning many things around this age. I have done something that I will never forget. I was learning. I didn’t know what anything meant. That’s why kids should ask there parents what it means. But if there parents are controlling they might be scared or scared that they might get in trouble. I get it. I hate getting trouble. Bark just goes to far into teens privacy. Teens can’t do what they like because parents don’t like what there doing. Just because parents don’t like it doesn’t mean you have to watch everything they do. That not really ok. Teens needs privacy. I still understand that parents want to protect there teens but you need to let them have space and teens are learning. It’s usually a phase. When parents add this to there teens phone that really show the teen that they don’t trust them anymore. That might really hurt the teen. When you download this on a teens phone your being kind of controlling. That’s not right at all. I just wanted to say that this app goes a little to far. That’s all I have to say. But thank for trying to protect the kids of the world
potato gall,
I had this on my phone for 3 years.
So, I get it. Parents are concerned they don't do it because they want to ruin our lives. Wether they think they may be over stepping boundaries or not they want to keep us safe. But it doesn't do that. It didn't do a great job of blocking ads, controlling media, other inappropriate content controls. Instead my parents were spammed all day long with "reports" things on any social platform that me or my friends had said. I felt violated and untrustworthy at first seeing as I was 13 and had never done anything wrong on my phone, not even cursing to friends ladies and gents. And I understand if your child needs to be soooo monitored because they do a bunch of crap, and at that point why let them have a phone at all? You don't need to break more aspects of your relationship with them over an app. But if your child was like me just a normal kid who just got a phone and texts friends funny memes you'll quickly understand how ANNOYING this app is. Every innocent thing I said was captured and sent to my parents. I'll never understand why we kept it so long but we now have a different app that works muchhh better for us. Plus PARENTS kids aren't stupid we find ways to get around things no matter how hard you try wether that's screen time passcodes and turning off vpn certain apps that aren't monitored or even burner phones, super strict parents raise sneaky kids.
shawty valid,
ruins everything
even my therapist knows about this app that my parents forced me to download. i feel like i’m on a leash. if they get alerts from anything even my friends say that i don’t , it alerts them. it’s come to the point where it’s july and i haven’t hung out with ANYBODY all summer because i’m distancing myself from my friends since i don’t want my parents to argue with me about what they say. i feel so alone and my parents do not care. i’m begging you not to get this for your child. i understand wanting safety but this will make your kid feel anything but comfort. also, prents can set curfew limits on their child phone so it literally stops working. i didn’t know it was bark causing this so i spent hours on the phone with at&t trying to figure out the problem. HOURS. and when my parents told me it was bark they just laughed it off like it was funny that i felt so much stress. on top of that, i spent two weeks away from my family and traveled to a part of the country with a different time zone. i was two hours behind my family that stayed home. however, this app does not adjust to time zones so i had to stop using my phone at like 8pm. i’m a teenager, why should i have such little freedom when i already cant do or say anything on this phone that’ll alert my parents? when i tried talking to my parents about readjusting my curfew while i was out of town my dad literally just laughed at me. i felt and still feel so powerless over MY life.
Da doooooooode,
Good for monitoring, but sometimes weird
I understand that this app is for monitoring unsafe behavior, and it’s really good at that. Saved me multiple times from 🌽(if you know you know) However, it has a few flaws that can make it problematic. First off, and probably the worst, there is a bug where it permanence turns off your internet connection if you don’t check in for 2-4 weeks. I understand it wants to help parents know where your child is, but there is no way to undo the damage, forcing you to delete and redownload. For me it is not a huge problem, but it recommends to parents to turn off deleting apps, so in that case it causes irreversible damage. Second off, there should be warning filters. When I was 11 and I got this app installed on my phone, (this was during 2018 don’t make fun of me) I would get fortnite videos recommended a lot. Although my parents were completely fine about them, bark still sent a warning for ‘gun violence’. I think that there should be better filtering for parents and children alike. Third and last, it SHREDS my iPhone data. I have a plan of about 160GB of data on my phone, and bark uses almost half of it. I don’t know if this is a fixable problem, but if it is, I don’t like having to spend double on my phone bills over parental controls :( There are a few minor inconveniences about this app but those were the main problems. It would be great if you could get them fixed :)
licca b,
Teenage point of view
Like all the other kids I have done somthing a-13-year old boy shouldn’t have done and I have learned from that. It’s super sensitive and I feel like I have no privacy also bc it sends the 8 of the messages. It is a great app on teaching your kids on what not to do but it makes the kids feel like the parents don’t trust them and ruins some trust. It’s just to sensitive and feel like you can’t talk to anyone. They should have a system where it slowly easys up so you don’t feel like a 4 year old or a point system that lets your parents know how you have been doing. Feel like I can’t do anything it makes me feel like I can’t do anything bad bc I’m going to get yelled at feel like a can’t learn or mature but I understand y and have Nothing againts my parents just the app needs fixed a little bit but I dislike the app but it has made me realize a lot of things ab being mature and it has stoped me from doing immature things and I agree with all the other kids on the opinions and other suggestions and I’m sure all the kids know how it feels to have this but trust me you will understand y and you’ll be thankful it’s not the end of the world I have nothing to hide but I like privacy and this app it very sensitive and yku don’t rlly get much privacy it’s annoying but rlly good and bad in ways
ghjghyd,
Bark
Like other teens I have done things that a 13-year-old is not supposed to do and obviously parents found out I got in trouble and got Bark on my phone honestly I hate it it’s so annoying but it’s stopped me from doing all the immature things that I did when I wasn’t supposed to be doing it because I’m too afraid of getting in more trouble so yeah it stopped me from getting in a lot of trouble and I looked back and realized all of that stuff I did is stupid and immature and now having this on my phone yeah it’s annoying but I feel like honestly some comfort in my life knowing that my parents are watching my every move if your parents are watching everything you do that’s going to stop you from doing the stuff you usually did even though all the stuff I did before wasn’t that bad it’s still bad and I’m comforted knowing that I stop doing that my parents and our relationship benefited from this I feel so much closer to my parents now, yeah I still listen to music that gets me in trouble and yeah I still talk to my friends and call them stupid and that’s apparently bullying on BARK I mean that’s what friends do but I am very comforted knowing that my parents relationship is much better from this app than it was before. So in a weird way thanks BARK.
