BARQ‪!‬ 17+

Great app!

I downloaded this app immediately after finding out about it! The first thought I had was “A dating/meeting app specifically for the furry community?? Sign me up!” So far, I have connected and met in person with approximately 7 people that are now good friends of mine and I also met my current partner through this app as well! Can’t promise the results will be the same for everyone but I will say that everyone I have matched and messaged with has been kind, open and easy to communicate with, I would highly recommend giving this app a try if you want to expand your social circle or are looking for something more!

Lets people trash on trans

Still banned to this day. Love it. I was attacked on a dating part of it for straight meetups. Cisgender doesnt matter cause i identify as a female made that clear. I even tried to grt my point across i was told i spammed when i was responding to the transphobia put on me. It is sad that im banned for defending myself from 3 individuals that claimed i wasnt straight and should leave the group. Sorry but it didn’t say cisgenders only in that group cause if it did then i wouldve left it alone. Until the issue is resolved i aint ganna contact yall in email for the wrong doing that the platform welcomed. I wont support it and will always open my mouth in my livestreams about the toxic environment you welcome into your platform. It is sad that me alone got banned but i heard that those three have been free to do whatever they please as if they did no wrong about attacking me in my own post where i was responding back but apparently answering back to the hate is considered spam. So i will support Ferzu since they dont tolerate transphobic slander on their platform like this one.

Developer Response ,

Hi there,

You did not get banned for that, but banned for spam even after a warning not to do so.
You can however appeal this decision by sending a email to appeals@barq.app.

We allow everyone on the platform, but expect users to not spam on our platform, if something is wrong, report it.

Does its job

Like anything, there is good and bad when it comes to barq. The bottom line is this: It is a great way to meet furries. As someone new to the fandom with no connections- I was able to meet and hangout with local furries. Barq did its job.

But it has its issues. There is something to be said about how almost EVERYONE wants to move to discord or tele as soon as possible after becoming mutuals. Not a great sign for your app when everyone wants to get off of it as quickly as possible.

You can add shortcuts to your other social media (Twitter, instagram, Etc.) onto your barq account but you can’t remove them. If you change your twitter handle the shortcut will be stuck there broken. Or if you just want to remove it for any reason, you can’t. I’ve seen this on many accounts including my own. You also can’t send images in chat.

I’m giving five starts only because the developers are continually working on improving the app and I believe it has the potential to be great.
