    There are lots of starter phones out there that all basically offer the same thing - limit the applications your kid can use and tell you where they are. Bark has that of course but this one also does monitoring of stuff like their text and photos which is great. Thats a plus cause I don't have time to check my sons device every day. And I'd like him to have some freedom and accountability so he can learn to make good choices and manage his time well with some extra guide rails. Since the Bark phone is a real phone I let him explore the real world but still know what he's up to and help him create healthy boundaries and limits for his use.Got a case for it as well because...you know kids. But since its just a Samsung A14 there are lots of options out there - even an Otter Box if I have to thought thats a bit pricey.The only bummer is in group chats with friends he's the "green kid". Of course thats true with all of the kid phones out there - thanks Apple! Hopefully one day Apple will be more compatible with the rest of the world.Also should note, it doesn't come with a wall wort/brick/butt. Its got a USB-C to USB-C cable which is compatible with most USB charging bricks and laptops. I have a dozen of these stupid things lying around from years of Apple purchases so it wasn't a big deal. But might need to pick one up if you need one. I've personally had good luck with the Anker series of chargers.

    I recently purchased the Bark Phone for my child, and I couldn’t be more impressed. This phone truly lives up to its promise of being the safest phone for kids. The parental controls are robust and easy to use, allowing me to monitor my child’s activities without invading their privacy. I love the comprehensive content filtering and real-time alerts for potential issues like cyberbullying and inappropriate content.

    The design is sleek and kid-friendly, yet durable enough to withstand everyday use. The battery life is excellent, and the phone runs smoothly without any hiccups. My child enjoys the phone’s features, and I appreciate the built-in safety measures that give me peace of mind.

    The customer service from Bark has been outstanding, promptly addressing any questions I had during setup. This phone is a game-changer for parents who want to stay connected with their kids while ensuring their safety. Highly recommended!

    I purchased this phone because of the glowing reviews and seemingly simple set up. My experience with this phone (and the associated service line) has been nothing but a disaster. While the “set up” videos are easy to understand, the actual set up is cumbersome, complicated and complicated - not worth the trouble. I had two separate friends (both of whom work in IT) try their luck with the phone set up and both were completely stumped. What’s more frustrating is Bark doesn't have an IT support phone number you can simply call to get advice there and then, you have to email back and forth. Not great. Save your money.

    We just received and set up our 13-year-old's Bark Phone. Set up is super easy - just follow along with the guide and it only took a few minutes! We love that we can control so many features with this phone - like allowing or blocking access to the Google Play Store, the web browser, and even with certain contacts during different times and more. We feel so much more confident as parents giving this phone to our kiddo and knowing we have safe guards in place while they learn how to use technology. I wish we would have had this option with our older teens - what a game changer!

    Navigating the online world with kids is no joke, but the Bark Phone has made it so much easier! This Christmas, I surprised my 12-year-old with what he thought was the latest iPhone. His excitement was through the roof, but little did he know that this sleek device isn't just about the looks – it's a powerhouse designed to keep our kids safer online. I love that it looks just like a smart phone while giving me peace of mind.

    It scans his texts, emails, social media, and apps for any potential digital dangers. Setting it up was easy, and the alerts I get are detailed enough to keep me informed without feeling like I'm prying. It's like having a digital ally in the parenting game. This phone is a must-have for all parents considering giving their pre-teen or teen a phone. Highly recommend!

    I've had this phone for a week, and it's still not set up. They try to do Customer Service through e-mail only so it takes days to try what they say and them tell them it doesn't work. I finally got them to send me a link for a phone call. I'd ask immediately for a phone call and hopefully they can help set it up. We are very tech savvy, and this phone has major set up issues.

    My son is thrilled to have a phone and I’m excited to know he is completely safe on it with Bark! The setup was easy, just had to run a quick Android update and set up my parental controls and he was off enjoying his new phone! The app is also super easy to use. Would definitely recommend this phone for kiddos!

    After spending hours researching the best first phone for my 12 year old i decided to order the Bark phone. It has all of the Bark features I know and love already (been a Bark customer for years, we had Bark set up on our family tablet) baked into it. Plus, set up was so easy! I was able to contact Bark support for some help along the way. Once I completed set up I felt confident handing my tween this phone.
