Horrible concept
You buy leads so that people window shopping can ghost you. They should have to put a. Deposit down to at least guarantee they are actually serious.
Terrible for Tradesmen
I just saw a negative review from a tradesman saying how poor the leads are but what resonated even more is how bad the company are at resolving any issues you may have with money wasted on spurious or let’s be honest eat….fake leads. I recently bought some credits on an offer to get double but it went through as normal, charging me the full amount. This company is very dishonest.

Fair to poor for music
Don’t get your hopes up if you’re looking for gigs. As a musician I was excited to start using Bark. After number of months it’s clear that it’s used by venue and party people for price discovery, with little intention of hiring anyone on this platform. I have responded to countless posts looking for bands. The majority of the time I am ghosted. A few times I’m notified that my services aren’t needed but only after I follow up a number of times.

Now not working
Ridiculous that the potential customers have to reach out to you and the app doesn’t even recognise my login and just circles round saying user already exists really disappointed by something that wasn’t broken
Great
Great platform , honest customers and real jobs
Do not waste you money on this app
It’s not far off of being a scam. The leads are nearly impossible to convert and when you do the rates are incredibly low. Don’t waste your time and money.
Leads gone
Several times the leads are gone before I quote however I still have to “Quote” the money only to discover they are already gone no refund because I quoted a viscous money making circle
Does not work
The app does not work. I have a bark account and I can’t log in. The only thing it prompts me to do is create a new account.
Expensive and useless leads
Super useless leads
This has saved my business
Bark has been wonderful for my business. I’ve been able to obtain many great clients this way. The key is to be selective on the leads and to reach out to the right people who are serious… There is a lot of great leads on here and people looking for help. You also need to make sure to follow up a few times because people get busy and forget… I’m really happy with Bark. I think a person needs to make sure that this isn’t their only resource they’re using… But it can work for you and add to your business. You just need to be selective on leads.

Waste of money
Lots of time wasters and suspicious adverts
waste of money
Absolute waste of money. I paid for credits, contacted multiple leads, and almost nobody ever answered or returned my calls. I received no real business from it.
In my experience, Bark is not worth the money at all. I would strongly advise contractors to stay away and think twice before wasting their money on credits.

Spend time and money with bark
Very expensive for the amount of work you get
You pay for a lead regardless of the work you get, many don’t even reply or want work done for cheap. Would be better if you could reach out for free and just pay for the jobs you actually get. I’d be happy to pay more for a successful lead but on this you pay even if the customer doesn’t reply
Rip off
I wouldn't recommend Bark based on my experience. I spent a significant amount of money purchasing leads and didn't win a single job from them.
Some of the leads seriously made me question their quality and whether they were genuine. On one occasion, I contacted a supposed potential customer regarding a new boiler enquiry, only to be met with an aggressive response from the person insisting they had never made an enquiry for a new boiler in the first place.
After spending a lot of money with absolutely nothing to show for it, I feel completely ripped off. I certainly won't be spending any more money on Bark.

Great platform!
I’ve had success with this platform. If you take the time to build your profile, build rapport with people and provide value to them it can definitely lead to them working with you. Would recommend for anyone that works for themselves.
Rubbish Updates
The recent forced prompt to update the apt to the new version with no bugs is worse than ever! Now stuck in a constant loop of click here for an update which takes you to a button that says ‘click here for a bug free update’ - a bit of a joke really!!
The worst app
The credits are extremely expensive, and I didn't get a response from most people. Of the few who did reply, they had already found someone for the job (I still don't understand how they allow the listing to remain up if the person has already found someone).
Rip off
The cost of credits when it’s simply throwing your hat in the ring is ridiculously expensive
