## Review summary

Camera Locker is praised for its simple design and privacy features, particularly on Android versions below 13. Users value its effectiveness compared to other apps. However, it faces significant compatibility issues on newer Android versions, delayed camera detection, occasional false positives, and lacks convenient features like startup auto-run and quick toggle. Multiple users also mention the abundance of ads and absence of a paid ad-free version as drawbacks.

### Pros

- Simple to use with a clean interface
- Works well on Android versions below 13, including Android 11 and 14
- Effective at enhancing privacy by locking the camera
- Received positive feedback from users looking for privacy-focused apps
- App is appreciated by users who tried many similar apps without success

### Cons

- App has issues with Android 13 and above, making it obsolete on latest versions
- Sometimes the app takes time to detect camera usage allowing pictures to be taken before locking
- False detection of front camera usage reported by users
- Lacks features such as run on startup option and quick access icons
- Excessive ads and no mention of a paid version to remove them
