How accurate are Bark alerts?
While no system is perfect, Bark's algorithm has been fine-tuned over 8 years — and is consistently getting better every day.
The power of Bark alerts
Bark stands out from other products by alerting parents and guardians to not only serious issues but also potentially life-threatening situations. Parents and guardians have shared testimonials about how Bark alerted them to texts containing expressions of suicidal thoughts or instances of their children communicating with sexual predators, enabling them to intervene in time.
