If u give less than 5 stars obviously UR a consumer not THE FRENZY CODERS FAM.... Only legit BLOCKER ENDORSED BY UNCLE EASY EDWARD SNOWDEN.. Why. Let an issue pop up reach out to them and an individual app account rep handles it for u AND LEGITIMATELY REMEMBERS U
Only rating it now, cuz I am prompted to right away before I even get to try it out... Its a neat idea I'm sure everyone can get onboard with. However, if its not as honest as much as we're supposed to trust these with, then one star if this ends up actually being a secuity breach. Hopefully, that won't be the case, and there are services out there with like-minded people at the helm. Not using Google everything is something to be thankful for, because their definition of privacy has gone all out of wack.
Works just as advertised. Press a button to block the camera. When you want to use the camera, press the button again to turn it off. There's really nothing complicated about it. You can even have the app turn off for a set amount of time then restart again on its own. The first time you use it, it asks for camera permissions (which to me is a very reasonable request for a camera blocker app) , then later it will ask you to rate it once. You can choose not to rate it if you don't want to, just say no thanks and that's it. The ratings really help the developers of the app though, but there's no requirement to rate it. I've been using the free version and it's been working with no issues or restrictions whatsoever, and so far it's blocked the camera every time it's tried to run.
I had a problem at first but Frenzy coders worked with me in a timely & professional manner (you guy's are to be commended) & their solution worked without a hitch. A great app for security & peace of mind, well worth getting the full version as well, check out another app of theirs also, "microphone blocker". Thanks slot guy's, I'll certainly be checking out all of your apps from now on. Excellent customer service. ☺👍🌠
Not bad I suppose, though there is no real proof that it works. I still cover the cameras on my phone with electrical tape (both front and rear) just to be on the safe side. I've had three of my phone's hacked by corrupt staff at phone stores and malls. It's getting more common now. There is now no longer any such thing as confidentiality or privacy!
When needing to use the double tap camera app with phome locked. Needed it in a road traffic incident. Missed the moment. Nice idea of an app but a hinderance
So far I like it but I'm not quite sure how it's helping me. One thing I dislike is when they ask you to review an app after you've downloaded it one or two days I wish they would give you more time before they start asking for reviews
**App does exactly what it says**... if you use Knox you need to install there to if you want to block that camera... using Knox is like 2 PHONE'S in one... casual and secure.. To the person who rated 1 star clearly knows nothing about technology and is likely to be one of those people who doesn't read app permissions , I bet he would download a wallpaper app that collects your GPS text messages and phone calls without knowing. Nothing is wrong with that but don't diss high quality app that is free with a few ads and ask you to rate it when it is free. Your comment is ridiculous grow a brain and read a little before disrespecting someone's hard work what helps make you safer. If you like the app support good Developers like this... buy it! Awesome job developer!!
I bought this app perhaps 3 times since June 2017. For various reasons lately I've been charging email accounts frequently. Apparently I'll have to purchase once again.
Find it really complicated to use. It's also annoying and most features require payment to work. A bad app at the free level. Not encouraged to pay for upgrade with such difficult basic features. Looking for a better replacement.
Camera Blocker works well, but it renders my video recorder useless on my Sony xz premium. Keeps saying its in use elsewhere even with cam block off
So far working as in description. Now locking camera completely isn't always the best integration. It needs to have ether tasker integration or automatic unlocking After opening specific app. Turn camera access in specific app permissions is an another solution instead using this app. I'm talking about face unlocking.
I am very pleased with this app. I feel like I am in control of when I want MY camera to be seeing what I want it to see & NOT something or someone else deciding to use MY camera for whatever they deem fit.
Worked exactly how it was designed to. Downloaded 3rd party app to verify background shutter access. Clearly worked. Currently a free user, that being said for free it works well. Turning on and off to take pictures is a small price to pay for privacy. Upgrading I see makes this easier. Would be nice to see which programs are accessing the shutter and when for personal preference, instead of using a 3rd party app. Thank you.
Excellent app notifies of new apps with camera permissions and easily allows you to enable/disable camera via notifications. Even allows limited time frame for specific apps that are launched from the notification area.
Thanks for replying back. I am giving you 5 stars because i found your microphone block app as well but still would request you to please integrate microphone & camera in one app. Thanks
What a pity that there is no whitelist for apps. On my OnePlus 3t it is not possible to start the native camera app by double pressing the power button as this app blocks all camera apps :(
I really like this app and the functionality of the menus and widget. I bought the pro version for all the features like temp enable camera for specific apps via a click on the notification bar. Super convienent.
I would like to see more access to more apps available for unblocked use of the camera. Unpaid version, you can only have the camera unblocked for one apps usage. The cool part is that you can set how long the camera/app is unblocked for.
I couldnt tell you how it works because the only apps it ever has blocked is my own. It downloads nice and is easy to use. Thats all i know.
I need to use it a little longer, i want to disable/uninstall apps i use the least, it does block camera use so 5 when i get annoying apps off. Thank You!
It definitely works, and I've tried other similar apps that don't block every app from the camera. Easy to use with the option of unblocking app of your choice with one tap .
Not had much spam email since I got this.
