DATA FARM APP - will not allow delete

Tricked into downloading, they got you now. Clicked on website and it asked for information to contact for quotes then set up an account without asking and you cannot delete it without engaging their app and giving them more information. As many predatory apps are constructed …easy in. NO WAY OUT. SCAM

Kev wilson - Let’s be Frank!!

Absolutely fantastic entertainer!! Booked for a Tiki themed 60th birthday party. Kev was highly professional from start to finish. He entertained a crowd of over 100 guests in my garden, with a huge audience participation and had all the ladies up dancing. Fist set of swing hits as requested then a mixed bag which had everyone singing along.
Thank you so much Kev, you helped make memories for all our family to enjoy for years. Can not recommend highly enough ❤️❤️

HBB Property Services

Martin contacted me after I put a request up. He arrived exactly on time to have a look at what needed doing. I was pleasantly surprised that he doesn’t charge to come out and give a quote. We agreed on a price, he went off to get the bits required and came back and finished the job. He left the place clean and tidy and I would have no hesitation in using his services again.

Useless

App won’t even load when I try and open it.

UPDATE: developer suggested I reinstall the app and get the latest version. I reinstalled the app. Still doesn’t work. If I could give fewer than one star I would.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We'll make sure to pass this feedback along to our development team for further investigation.

Scammers

I’ve been scammed by one of the contractors from Bark. The company only did half of my gutters,but charged me full price. I received a call that I need urgent work carried out on my roof, they were supposed to come and do it the next day, they did come, take the payment, and left without doing anything. This was confirmed by another profesional when I had suspicions about the business and the time they spent cleaning the gutters. When I reported this to Bark, they stated they can not help as it was a cash payment, they didn’t investigate and accepted that contractors are scamming customers, they haven’t removed the contractor from the website to prevent this from happening to others .They received evidence of this including CCTV. I am £750 out of pocket, with no work to show for this. The company has also now blocked my phone number, after asking for invoices and receipts for the work they supposedly carried out. I can not imagine that in these days, websites such as Bark would allow this scam to happen, I can only imagine how many people this has happened to who are unable to check if the work has been done. I work hard to provide for my family, not to have a large chunk of money taken for a scam.

Great app

Very helpful app, very unique indeed

Don't download

I download this app within 48 hours. I was notified that someone else had signed into my account. I contacted the customer service team because I was unable to update my password - there is no option to do this within the app settings , despite customer service email stating there is. I was sent a link by customer service services to reset my password. The minute I clicked on that link I received a load of spam within my Outlook calendar that I am unable to delete !

Full of scams!

My experience using Bark to find professionals for my project has been incredibly frustrating.

Within hours of submitting my request, I was bombarded with more than 20 calls, emails, and text messages from people claiming to be architects, engineers, or design professionals. Many had little to no verifiable credentials, no professional websites, no license information, and no clear way to validate who they actually were.

Instead of connecting me with qualified professionals, it felt like my contact information was simply distributed to anyone willing to pay for leads. I spent more time screening questionable contacts than actually moving my project forward.

For anyone looking to hire an architect, engineer, or other licensed professional, I strongly recommend independently verifying licenses, checking references, reviewing previous work, and confirming insurance before sending money to anyone.

Based on my experience, Bark generated a flood of unsolicited contacts but very little confidence that the people reaching out were legitimate, qualified professionals. I would not use this service again for a project requiring licensed expertise.

GREEDY AND DANGEROUS

This app sells your information to whoever replies to your request there is no cool down between how many people can just attain your contact information, then if youve already filled your request and reject people whove already paid for your info they will be aggressive because YOU charged them and scammed them into believe if they paid you for my information id hire them. You over saturate the replies to requests, you should be ashamed! Why should i be punished for your shameless business practices ?! Met an amazing tutor but ill never speak positively on behalf of this website app/ ALSO YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THEIR APP TO DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT EVEN IF YOU CREATED IT SOLEY ON A COMPUTER SCAMMY AF PROBABLY MALWARE
