Sussy

BARQ wrote a statement defending babyfurs on X. I thought it would be more like the Nextdoor app but for furries … instead it just comes off as more of a dating/hookup app because you can display your sexuality and kinks and filter by gender and sexuality when looking for other furries near you. Babyfurs and other questionable kinks can exist there but the. other groups that maybe hold to conservative political views get targeted… I feel like one is much worse than the other but that’s just my opinion cause I no longer want anything to do with this app.

Account banned for helping someone set up theirs

Very disappointing experience with BARQ. I had an existing account and simply helped my girlfriend set up her own account. Her accounts were immediately banned after setup, and somehow my account ended up banned as well.

I spent several days going back and forth with support trying to get my account restored. I was eventually told that my account cannot be unbanned until all three of her banned accounts are gone, and they asked whether I have access to the email addresses associated with them. I don’t.

I understand having systems in place to prevent abuse, but legitimate users shouldn’t lose their accounts because they helped someone else with setup and then be given a resolution they can’t reasonably complete.

After this experience, I’ve deleted BARQ and won’t be using it anymore.

Privacy

I don’t often write reviews, however, I e been with this app since day 1, Howlr before it, as others have mentioned, it’s a buggy mess, DMs are so unreliable literally everyone just recommends using telegram, been like that since launch.

The app also enables bad individuals who scam and lie, and won’t do anything to their accounts, even if that person you trusted into your home takes photos and posts them on the app without permission, they will not remove the image despite you being the owner.

I’ve literally had images removed with ease on twitter / X even from Hollywood actors who used my content without permission.

But these guys, nope, so, went over their heads and reported all this to Apple themselves.

I honestly hope your app fails.

Bro what’s going on

It’s been 3 days and I still haven’t gotten approved, I told my friend about it and he got in as soon as he made his. I got no idea what’s going on, I have everything that they asked to put and more. Like dawg do it job better

Good concept, Bad execution

A lot of quality-of-life improvements are still needed. Message notifications are practically nonexistent, and the app overall feels underdeveloped, with bugs that can be frustrating to users.

I really love the concept, though, and I hope to increase my rating in the future as the app improves. It has the potential to be a great way to build a strong community.
