| 2024-11-12 |  | | I would rate higher, but I have not been able to figure out how to use the blocker on specific apps. I would like to be able to have my camera access blocked, but still allow certain apps to use the camera. |
| 2024-10-31 |  | | great app! I've used this app for couple years now! 3 Days ago' i scanned for viruses on my android 14' and this camera block app was the culprit.. I no longer use the app? give me 2 days I'll be using it again. |
| 2024-10-29 |  | | It appears this only blocks the selfie camera but then that block is defeated by using the phone's back button - you are able to take a picture after clicking the back button even though the icon shows blocked. *Edit - still only the selfie camera is blocked. *Edit - in selfie camera when it's showing blocked on its screen, all you have to do is hit the back button and it will defeat the block and selfie camera works. *Edit - why only the selfie camera is blocked? The rear camera works always |
| 2024-10-06 |  | | A fine app it is. Unfortunately, it doesn t work on older devices such as 5.0-Lollipop etc no more. Thanks. |
| 2024-09-30 |  | | camera block is an amazing app, it shows you who's accessing your camera and protects your data & stops your picture being taken by other apps, it's a bit of peace of mind |
| 2024-09-26 |  | | you've fixed most those annoying issues. Why does the back button unblock the camera? I think it should do nothing and just close the dialog box. For some reason the app warns about the camera even when it's disabled in that specific app. I even get warnings on home screen. |
| 2024-09-22 |  | | This app was a real lifesaver. It really works and saved my phone from a battery that would always drain too fast. Now my phone works great ! |
| 2024-06-28 |  | | The app succeeds in blocking the camera, but why does it's permissions require camera access while there are other apps that block the camera and don't have camera access in their permissions, i know it's possible to not give permission to the camera, but why does it exist in the first place? Edit:my test was on an android older than 14, since v14 and camera access is a must, i advice not to upgrade to android 14 |
| 2024-06-09 |  | | Doesn't do what it used to. It had a widget that would automatically open your phone for 10 min, or whatever you set it to. It doesn't do any of that anymore. Now it's just continually triggers spam commercials. They got rid of the widget, it only triggers commercials. There are other options out now, especially since they did away with the best feature. I had the paid version for a while, but it functioned completely differently, the free version was a better app. Not anymore. |
| 2024-02-02 |  | | Get the pro version when able. For starters the free version is awesome. The only one I've seen so far that tells you exactly how many other apps are trying to access your camera at any given moment. Eye-opening information. One click to turn it on or off for easy use of the camera |
