FAQs
You can add Bark to any LigTel plan for $13/month. But we also offer a bundled option—our Connected Family Plan. It includes Bark plus additional features designed to keep your whole household connected and protected.
After you sign up and schedule your install with LigTel:
- You’ll receive an email from Bark with setup instructions.
- Bark will guide you through downloading the app, creating your parent account, and linking your child’s devices.
You can review this Quick Setup Guide for an overview of the steps, but please note—you won’t be able to complete setup until your Bark service is activated through LigTel.
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.
Using a web blocking app can benefit your kid in a number of ways! You can use it to block content that harms their mental health, give them back time to enjoy screen-free activities, help them avoid misinformation, and much more.
Simply log into the Bark parent app/dashboard and decide what apps and websites you want to allow and when — we make it easy with rules for school time, bedtime, and free time.
If you’d like to start keeping track of your child’s visits to and from a location, simply add the address to your child’s profile in your Bark app. Give the address a name to explain what it is, (for example, “Sarah’s house” or “Soccer practice”), and then when your kid starts to move, you’ll receive an alert!
Bark’s phone monitoring app for parents not only provides comprehensive coverage for all the top apps and devices, but also takes the crucial extra step of helping families navigate the issues raised by alerts.
Here’s a complete list of absolutely everything Bark monitors on every device.
