    Bark sucks. Take my word for it. If you have a bark phone, it's too late. You can't uninstall bark off. I heard from a news article that this app was used to track over 1k people! I have the 4gb plan and it's use 80%, then I used 10%,and the plan got throttled. I got photos working. I can't tap the build version because, well ,ou know. Change that. My mom allowed my phone and even unblocked EVERYTHING. Even settings restrictions, yet build version says action not allowed. GIVE US DEV OR BARK=🗑

    Terrible app. I do nothing wrong, and it sends alerts to my parents for "sexual content." Like, when did I do any of that? And don't even get me started on the terrible "safety" features. I CAN'T EVEN ACCESS SETTINGS without getting a pop-up for a code. Only reason this app remains on my phone is because it roots itself like a malware, making it impossible to remove. To any parent reading, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS ON YOUR CHILD'S PHONE. It'll jack up your data bill by a lot, given it steals it all.
