After reading the reviews, I’d say that one of the strongest points of the Bark Phone is its focus on parental safety and features, such as monitoring your kids remotely. Your smartphone’s built-in parentals give you permission control, screen time options, filters for various sites, and tracking their phone on a real-time map. Bark will even send text notifications if anything of concern or offensive populates on their device or when it comes across bullying behavior. Parents can even get text messages that were deleted in the system through the same dashboard. Built using the hardware for a Samsung Galaxy A series phone, a child will already feel familiar using a Bark Phone because it’s also just, well a cell phone. For children who are just getting used to having their own cell phone, the combination of having it on actual Android hardware coupled with parental controls on the Bark Phone may just do the trick.
