Bark for Professionals

Found Bark a few months ago and it seemed to go to be true, leads for my business close by or even virtually. I bought a pack of credits without my worry because of their guarantee to replace if you don’t hear back from anyone the first time. 

I have now gone through every credit I purchased without a single email or text back from the 20 people I have reached out to multiple times through emails, texts, and calls. I have emailed internally through Bark as well as externally typing email addresses in and sending directly from my gmail. I’ve been curious if Bark emails go to spam so they might not be seen. I find it hard to believe that there wasn’t a reply from at least 1 person. 

The app and site work well, but don’t be fooled. Most likely a very well put together scam.

I’m speaking for those DJs who use Bark! The staff is absolutely wonderful. The issue is the credit policy for Leads. Not only are Leads not Guaranteed, there’s zero Guarantee that you will be able to contact the customer after your Purchase of a Lead! The policy states Bark will not give your lead credit back if you reach out to the customer and never receive a response. Even when customer service reaches out to experience the same results, you still by policy will not receive your refunded credits. Even further, several leads say verified however aren’t. Considering Bark isn’t based on US soil, they get away with this terrible service. On Thumbtack, I have an amazing experience! I’d like to give them a -1 rating. Until that credit return policy is fair, I would suggest all to stop doing business with Bark ASAP SCAMMERS FOR SURE

Can’t really use it if I can’t use my web account on this app…

I’ve booked more gigs using Bark than any other method (cold calls, word of mouth, ads, etc)

I have a really good experience with Bark. It’s easy. The leads are perfect; and the user interface of the App is great. It just makes sense.  Well-run service!

Trying to paste in my email template and it won't work. Can't edit. Infuriating want to smash my phone. Fix this

Do not trust Bark with your personal information as they will email it to random people. 

Bark began emailing me people’s detailed requests for therapists/psychotherapists, including their personal medical history. I don’t remember signing up for this app at all, and certainly am not part of that profession. I’m concerned how many people are trusting this service with their personal information considering it is randomly being distributed to folks not even in the psychotherapy field.

I get more gigs from Fb .. leads are all fake ..I also feel bark is responsible for the fake leads just to keep your hopes high !!

The app needs major improvements. Too many fake leads and the leads are costly with no response from “clients” far too many times. I paid $150 and Bark doesn’t want to help with verifying leads or provide refunds where needed.  Most of the time I don’t even get notifications of new leads, I have to be checking and analyzing them because 9 times out of 10 they’re fake! The people behind this app won’t do anything about it.  Just look at all the bad reviews.  It’s insane they can keep ripping people off like this.  They will never refund $ only credits IF you demand it.

There is evidence that the leads on this app are either fake or found without the customers consent. Like they make lead posts on behave of other people probably from other sites. Either way this business is a scam and won’t offer refunds.
