Why do I need to enable apps from Unknown Sources?
To install apps that are not present in the Google Play store, Android requires you to enable the Unknown Sources / Unknown Apps setting. Not all apps available for Android are present in the Play Store.
Why does the Bark for Kids app say .APK at the end?
An Android Package Kit (APK for short) is the file format used by the Android operating system for distribution and installation of mobile apps. Just like Windows systems use an .exe file for installing software, the .apk file does the same for installing Android apps. This is essentially our Bark for Kids app in its original Android format, available at your convenience!
How do I set up Android monitoring?
Install the Bark for Kids app on a child's Android phone or tablet by navigating to bark.us/android on the child's device. For detailed instructions, follow our guide below!
