Frequently Asked Questions
What does Bark do?
Bark can monitor your child's texts, email, YouTube, and 30+ apps and social media platforms for issues like cyberbullying, adult content, sexual predators, profanity, suicidal ideation, threats of violence, and more. Parents receive text or email alerts only when something potentially problematic occurs online. You won't have full access to everything on your child's phone - just the things you might need to know about. This saves you countless hours of scrolling through every online interaction your child has while allowing you to build trust and maintain an open line of communication with your child. Families can set time limits and create schedules of when their children's devices can connect to the internet (through both cell service and Wi-Fi). Bark's web filter lets you select which websites are appropriate for your child to access on their devices. You can block specific sites or even whole categories like streaming services, online gaming, sexual content, and more.
How much does Bark cost?
Pioneer Internet will offer Bark Premium at a cost of $12/month, which provides content monitoring, screen time management, app and website blocking, and location sharing. Only one Bark account will be needed per family. All of your wireless devices such as phones and tablets can be covered under the same Bark account.
How does Bark work?
Content Monitoring Bark uses advanced machine learning and statistical analysis techniques to recognize potential problems. Simple keyword searches are not enough to detect the majority of issues, which is why our parental control app uses contextual analysis and natural language processing to determine when something serious might be happening. For example, Bark knows the difference between a kid saying "This homework makes me wanna kill myself," versus "Nobody cares about me! I wanna kill myself." Our algorithm also keeps up with the latest in teen slang. Screen Time Management and Website Blocking Families can manage not only when their kids can access the internet on their devices, but also which sites and apps they can visit. You can create custom profiles for each child in your house, create screen time schedules, and manage access to a wide variety of websites - including video streaming, gaming, adult content, and more.
