Ugh. (Teen’s perspective)
This blocks apps and sites that my parents are fine with, even when the settings are “fine-tuned”.
My internet becomes extremely slow, messages don’t send properly, and games that used to work don’t function. It also flags things that have no need to be flagged - they’re fine.
It also destroys trust between me and my parents, knowing that they’re scrutinizing and taking away my privacy.
It’s a great idea, I guess, but it doesn’t work well with reality and with teens just wanting ONE thing to be their own.

too controlling
turned my mom into a dictator
Bark.
Bark, this has ruined my life and probably my relationship with my mom. I don’t like having apps like this because it makes me uncomfortable and pushes some boundaries. My mom has nothing blocked and everything was mostly blocked, I lose WiFi randomly even when it’s not past the bedtime. I hate this app a lot and it messes with my coping. I can’t do this anymore with this app.

Why I personally don’t like bark :/
So I’m bout to turn 13 right? And my parents installed bark on the phone. So like, I know parents gotta protect their children, which I’m all up for. But I don’t like the fact they check all of my messages whenever they want. It sucks cuz I could be taking about something that my wouldn’t understand but my friends do. And one minor thing
