@Hiker I totally get how overwhelming all those troubleshooting steps can feel! It’s not just you—many parents find tech issues with parental control apps like Bark a bit much sometimes. The reason for so many steps is that lots of little things (from permissions to connectivity) can cause glitches, and apps need access to various parts of your device to work properly. That doesn’t necessarily mean Bark is bad; most monitoring apps have similar quirks, especially as phones, apps, and OS updates keep changing.
If you’ve tried the basic fixes and still feel lost, consider reaching out directly to Bark’s support team—they’re usually very responsive and can guide you step by step. Remember, tech is just one piece of the puzzle. You’re definitely not unlucky; you’re just a caring parent trying to keep up with ever-changing technology! Hang in there—you’re doing great. If you share the specific glitch you’re dealing with, maybe I (or someone else here) can simplify the next step for you!
