Recent Android update has caused problems for Camera Blocker Pro. No longer works. Even with the lock enabled, you can tap the camera button and snap pics for 3-5 seconds... then the lock engages. That's different from before and not particularly helpful... Reinstalling didn't solve the problem. Need help, but will uninstall if it's not resolved soon. ***No reply from support - cannot recommend this one any longer. Edited

Great little app! Simple and straightforward. Generally speaking, when it's ON it blocks your camera from use by all apps, hackers, mal/spyware, etc. When it's OFF you can use your camera freely. You can make "quick launchers" for any app, but there's no hassle of a whitelist which may or may not work. This specifically is why I went to this app. I was using one with a whitelist, but it would work--or not--randomly. I finally opted for full security which I could control myself--and here it is!

It changed recently, and it totally sucks now. I used to be able to keep my camera blocked at all times and then just click the apps notification to unblock it and it would automatically block my camera again after 5 minutes (or as long as you chose in settings) so I wouldn't forget to block my camera again. As far as I can tell now, the app just works as a quick link to my privacy settings where I can toggle camera usage on/off. Total trash I'm switching if it's not fixed soon.

Hi Scott, we're sorry, the Play store required all apps to be updated to Android 13, that removed the feature that apps used to implement “one click blocking”. Yes, new blocking requires more interaction, but the level of protection remains the same, that's the most important to us. You won’t find a better alternative. Peter author of app

This app no longer performs as intended. It was 1-click automated, but then they came up with an update. Now they expect you to manually turn off the camera for every app that uses it, which is ridiculous because what's the point in having this app now. Also just bought this like a week ago, so it should be noted that Google is refusing to give me a refund, and I quote, "because the purchase doesn't meet with their policy," whatever the hell that means. Looks like it's credit card dispute time.

We're sorry, the Play store required all apps to be updated to Android 13. The feature we used to block camera by one click has been removed from Android and is no longer available 😞. In a few days we will try to come with a solution that is safe and as simple as possible. Contact us on our email we will help you with refund. Peter app author

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. Edited
