The app lacks a clear on/off toggle or notification indicator, making it difficult to know when it's active.
Interference with phone call audio or microphone during calls, causing users not to be heard or hear others.
Difficulty uninstalling or deactivating the app, with some users reporting the app remains active or controls device functions even after removal attempts.
Permission requests, including audio recording permission, raise privacy concerns among users.

Recent reviews

This app used to be great and worked well at blocking the camera and microphone to the point where the app got so annoying when I received calls, but that means it's doing its job. This was a while back when no ads were bombarding you every time you click anything on the app. The app also glitches to the point where I had to uninstall just to get the unblock button to work again.

It does work, but I give it 3 stars. I tested it multiple times and it certainly does block the camera & microphone, but there are a few reasons for my rating. I think it lacks an on/off toggle widget for the home screen, a notification bar indicator and a toggle button in the notification drop down menu so it can be controlled as easy as turning wifi on/off. It's impossible to know if it's activated or not. Also, im unsure if it's capable of blocking the microphone of bluetooth devices...?
