The necessity of overlay permissions raises privacy concerns, and the free version may mislead users about blocking status. However, responsive customer support and compatibility with newer Android versions add to its appeal for some. ### Pros - Effectively blocks the camera for specified periods, providing user control over camera access. - Simple and easy-to-use interface suitable for those wanting to control camera privacy. - Affordable premium option compared to other camera blocker apps. - Customer support is responsive and helpful according to some users. - Works well on multiple devices and newer Android versions like Android 11 and 14 for some users. ### Cons - Frequent and intrusive popup messages stating "The camera is blocked" disrupting other apps and user experience. - App instability and crashes, especially after purchasing the premium version or on newer devices like Galaxy S23. - Inconsistent camera blocking; camera sometimes unblocks despite activation of the pro version. - The app requires overlay permissions which some users find intrusive and risky for privacy and security. - The free version only temporarily blocks the camera and provides misleading status notifications, confusing users about the actual blocking status. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Camera Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.camerablocker.camerablocker) — 1,283 users - [Camera Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.frenzycoders.camerablocker) — 499,406 users, 3.09 / 5 - [Camera Blocker - Block Camera](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bigqsys.camerablocker) — 56,985 users, 3.31 / 5 - [Camera Blocker: Guard, AntiSpy](https://chrome-stats.com/d/camerablocker.antispycamera.camgaurd) — 9,156 users, 4.43 / 5 - [Camera Blocker Pro - Anti spy](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bettertomorrowapps.camerablock) — 22,148 users, 4.03 / 5 - [Camera Blocker: Anti Spy Guard](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bettertomorrowapps.camerablockfree) — 1,125,526 users, 4.40 / 5 - [Camera Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/technoinfo.soft.camerablocker) — 13,155 users, 4.00 / 5 - [Camera Block - Secure Camera](https://chrome-stats.com/d/roxanne.create.camera.block) — 7,251 users, 3.45 / 5 - [Camera Block: Privacy Guard](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.infinovalabs.camerablocker) — 6,291 users, 3.22 / 5 - [Camera Block Pro: PrivacyGuard](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.infinovalabs.camerablocker.pro) — 93 users - [Camera Lock](https://chrome-stats.com/d/leo_r_com.camera_lock) — 160 users, 4.38 / 5 - [Ca blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.lavardegames.camerablocker) — 1,155 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.manyera.camerablocker)
