App Overview

Google Earth is a digital mapping and exploration platform that allows users to view and interact with 3D models of the Earth and its features, including landmarks, cities, terrain, and more. It is popular among kids and teenagers, but it is not specifically designed for children.

Google Earth is generally considered safe for kids to use, as it does not have any explicit or inappropriate content. However, it is important for kids to understand that the app is not a real-time tracking tool, and that the information and images displayed in the app may not be current or accurate. It is also important for kids to understand online safety and to be aware of the potential risks of sharing personal information or interacting with strangers online.

Using Bark to Manage Screen Time

Now that you’ve learned a little about Google Earth, you can decide when and if your child can use it. Bark lets you set time limits and block it, if needed. This could look like “no Google Earth after bedtime” or “only 20 minutes of it a day.”

The best part? Bark lets you do this with literally any app you let them install, putting you in the driver’s seat when it comes to online safety. You can also block websites and apps, create custom screen time schedules, and get location alerts when your kid is out and about.
