### 1/5 — Not user friendly at all!

*2024-07-01, version 3.0.0*

There is no way to request cancellation- there is a chat bit, but no response when you have a question. VERY FRUSTRATING!

### 5/5 — Great app but can’t send videos out the app to friends

*2022-05-08, version 3.0.0*

Still need more work

### 2/5 — Saved images

*2021-12-04, version 3.0.0*

Won’t let me use my stored photos. 😡

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-08-29, version 3.0.0*

They won’t let me use my own saved photo even though I had to provide access to my photos. Why?  Also they want a lot of personal information. Like bark box, not worth the time or money.

### 1/5 — Works ok, sometimes

*2021-05-28, version 3.0.0*

And sometimes it will not work. 
Also very clunky. 
Should be able to drag and drop as bow tie ends up on dogs ear.

### 1/5 — Cute....but not really

*2021-04-03, version 3.0.0*

1.Filters always appear left of center on face. I could only get the avocados to work. 2.Not enough filters: it only offers several Christmas, 1 New Year, 1 Happy Birthday. Where is Easter, Halloween, etc? It’s like the developers made the app during Christmas then gave up without working out the kinks. MOST IMPORTANTLY: WHY IS THE APP STORE STILL OFFERING THIS SUB-PAR APP ???

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2021-01-25, version 3.0.0*

Great app! Use it to take cute pics and videos if my dog

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-01-15, version 3.0.0*

I tried to scan my dogs face.... nothing and that after stealing all of my information horrible app do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Not very good 🙁

*2021-01-12, version 3.0.0*

I was looking for a nice dog filter app to take pics of my pup but you need to have your dog looking at the camera the 𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀 time and the little props (hats, glasses,)  move and don’t match up to the dogs face.
I don’t recognize this app 😕

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2020-12-13, version 2.9.0*

EVERYTHING ABOUT BARK BOX IS EXCELLENT !!!
