EDIT 11/26/23. Agree with Scott, used to be perfect, every update in the last month has been going downhill, not going to repeat Scott's review as he nailed it. EDIT 11/28/23- Going to put back up to 4 stars for developers' concerns and fast response. App. works good, just not as nice as it used to be. No matter who's fault this may be. Thank you for responding to those who have been complaining.

With surveillance cameras and in-home listening devices (marketed as convenience tech) now ubiquitous, it is comforting to know that I can at least control my phone's camera with this app. I am confident that it is working because other apps complain no access to the camera while Camera Block Pro is active.

Seems to work fine. Obviously have tried to load the camera with the blocking app active and sure enough the camera doesn't work with the phone informing me that the "Security policy prevents use of camera". In today's world where you should be covering your webcams and taking safety precautions this seems like a must have app.

I don't regret purchasing this application & U won't either. I've found that I like the fact that when I get a surprise video chat from one of those fake profiles on that unnamed social platform that is now a haven for fake profiles; it doesn't show me to them! They'll video call me out of the blue & all I see is a black screen for Them so fawk those dirt bag scammers anyway. I also use the FREE version of the microphone blocker on another device , an AO3, & can recommend it as well. THANKu!

I've been using this for several years. Very easy to use. Always good to see the messages popup when an app tries to take pictures without permission.What's lacking and I wished would be finally added is a log of which apps are requesting to use the camera and when.

Best camera blocker. Does not drain battery. I have used this app for many years. It keeps my phone safe from Spyware. I accidentally loaded software that was advertised as security software. It messed up the camera block to use as spyware. I notified the makers of this app. their fix is amazing! Even strong camera protection. And of course I removed the Spyware app.

Guys the last couple of updates has a bug. I cannot stop the pop up to enable or disable the app from appearing randomly literally every five minutes, no matter what I'm doing on my phone. It's annoying the hell out of me.

It's an easy 5 stars for me, however after the last upgrade to the latest version a pop keeps on showing on the launcher that I need to either close the app, allow camera access for 10mins, or unblock camera. Switched it off from settings, however still the pop keeps on showing and it's annoying! Fix it please 🥺

Great app to secure the camera from being used until I need it. It would be nice if the whole app didn't have to open, just maybe unlock/lock based on selecting it as a quick option. This would save a c couple steps in taking a photo with the camera. I hope you guys can do this. I'll update my review to five stars once new features are implemented. Thanks!

This app helps prevent the multitude of hackers of mobile devices from seeing your current surroundings. I like the ease of allowing pictures when I want to use the camera. Update: app no longer works since upgrading to Android 12. Update to Android 13 and it works again.
