## Review summary

Reviewers praise CalX for privacy protection and strong performance when functioning, calling it a top privacy tool. However, repeated concerns focus on security gaps (unlocking before confirming with =), login access problems (forgot PIN/password and recovery), and reliability issues (loading freezes, call interference). Users also note the existence of app-blocking features and request improvements to expand that capability.

### Pros

- Strong privacy protection with vault-like functionality when it works, protecting photos/videos as intended.
- Overall positive sentiment and high regard, with reviewers calling it one of the best apps and noting they loved it.
- App-blocking capability mentioned by users (a feature that blocks other apps).

### Cons

- Unlocks too early and can reveal photos if someone misinterprets it as a normal calculator; users want to require pressing the = sign before unlocking.
- Password/PIN recovery issues can lock users out (forgotten PIN or password) and make recovery difficult.
- Reliability problems such as loading freezes or occasional interference with calls during use.
