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
It’s a scam!!!
90% of the clients are fake and won’t respond. Waste of money. Better to invest that money into marketing
Good
Good service
Time wasters
To many fake jobs & time wasters
“Serious Concerns About the Authenticity of Bark Leads”
I created an account on Bark because I was interested in using the platform to find customers for my services. However, before purchasing any credits, I decided to carefully examine how the platform actually works.
After monitoring the platform for a while, I have reached the conclusion that I simply do not have enough confidence in what is being presented to me to spend any money on it.
The app consistently shows me around 178 “matching leads”, yet when I check the map and try to see the actual jobs available in my area, I can only see around 15. So my question is very simple: where are the rest of the 178 leads?
Furthermore, I have noticed that many of the same requests appear day after day. From the perspective of a business being asked to purchase credits simply to access contact details, this raises some serious questions.
Bark does not guarantee me a customer or even a job. Essentially, I am being asked to pay for access to someone’s contact details, after which I still have to contact that person and find out whether they still need the service, whether they have already found someone else, whether they are still interested, and whether they will even respond to me.
So what exactly am I paying for?
Based on what I have observed, I have even started to question whether all of these leads genuinely represent real people who have actually requested these services. I am not claiming that Bark creates fake leads, but what I am seeing on the platform gives me reason to have this concern, and I would like a clear explanation from you.
I would like to know how you verify that each lead comes from a real person, how you verify that the request is still active, and why the number of “matching leads” displayed is so different from what I can actually see on the map.
This is precisely why I have not purchased any credits, and I do not intend to purchase any until Bark can provide a transparent explanation and give me confidence that the leads you are charging businesses to access genuinely come from real people who are actively looking for those services.

Scam not worth giving your details ad business and clients
They sell normal queries from normal people or made up as leads for expensive credits not sure how come no one reported them to ASIC - if someone from authority reading it could be worth investigating this business- thanks
