Review summary

Users appreciate that the app effectively blocks camera and microphone access on many apps, offers easy setup, and works well on multiple devices without heating issues. However, complaints focus on intrusive ads without a paid removal option, inconsistent blocking performance where the camera sometimes remains accessible despite the block, power consumption concerns, and occasional app instability after reboot. Some UI and feature improvements have been noted, but overall consistent functionality remains a challenge for several users.

Pros

Effectively blocks camera and microphone access on many apps, providing user control over privacy.
Easy to set up and use with a relatively unobtrusive user interface.
Does not overheat the phone compared to similar apps.
Recognizes newly added apps quickly and functions well on various devices and Android versions.
Developers are responsive and updates have improved functionality for some users.

Cons

Contains many ads with no paid option to remove them, which annoys users.
App sometimes fails to remain active after reboot or stops working daily, requiring manual fixes.
Delays or inconsistencies in blocking camera access; camera can sometimes be accessed despite the app indicating it is blocked.
Some users experience power drain due to the app.
Issues with flashlight functionality being disabled when camera is blocked.

2024-11-08	*****	The app does exactly... nothing. But asks for dangerous permissions and displays ads. No thanks.

2024-11-04	S *****	Does pretty much what it says, easy ui, relatively unobtrusive ads and quick to recognize newly added apps. I've been using it for 3 or 4 months with no problems. Thanks to the devs, no more duct tape residue on my phone, now if they could make an app to replace my tinfoil doo rag....

2024-11-02	Fr*****	Camera & Mic Block works on S10+/A11. One star off as no paid option to turn off ads.

2024-10-29	Et*****	Great performance, doesn’t overheat my phone like similar apps do and keeps my information safe from spy's. Get it now, it's fantastic.

2024-09-16	Je*****	It shows some promise. I really appreciated the standing notification and the switch access from there. But on my TCL 50 XE with Android 14, it kept stopping to work every day! (Update) Note: auto-start control is in phone's Settings: Smart Manager. Ta-da!!! Fixed! 😀 Let's see how it behaves now!!! The other camera block apps either don't work at all or demand payment before even a sample trial.

2024-08-15	St*****	Not straight forward. Why does the activation selection screen state "Click here to block/unblock Camera and Mic" instead of "Click here to block Camera and Mic" OR "Click here to unblock Camera and Mic"? Also, the button colors should be GREEN and RED, not BLUE and RED. The friggin "click here" line is already changing when a selection is made, so why not make the guard's activation or deactivation obvious? It makes one consider if this is a deliberate and why? Hmmm.
