Evaluation comments:
“I like that this phone system will grow with the child. It has every protection on it that is possible.”
“The phone looks like any other phone so the child will not be embarrassed by it. It has the Bark system built into it with all the safety measures already installed.”
“The phone can get various apps, all on the approval of the parents. The Bark app needs to be installed on the parent’s phone. The parent approves any contacts that are on the child’s phone, any apps etc. They can enable app approval at any time. For example, if the child gets the phone at age 10, the parents can allow Facebook when they are 13. The child can check in with the parents through the Bark app throughout the day.”
“I like that the Bark’s monitoring tools scan the child’s texts, emails, social media, and apps for any digital dangers and will send alerts to the parents. Also like that the parent can program what times the child may access the phone such as after school, specific hours and having it inaccessible during the night and other occasions. It can be changed at any time.”
“I like that this phone can grow with the child as they mature. The phone looks like any other smart phone and can have developmentally appropriate apps and games such as PBS kids so the parents can feel secure that their child is not seeing anything inappropriate or scary online.”
“I like that the parents must approve all the contacts before the child can text or call them.”
“I am impressed with all it has to offer.”
