Excellent Concept

So this app really does work and it’s worth the payment, however, it only works for most apps. There are some apps that it simply will not allow it to be blocked. I can’t name any, but I know that they are there and I’ve used them several times because even though my camera is blocked, if I pull up that app and say oh I need to take a picture or a photo the camera is readily available. That is not what I need. Also, when you have the schedule on and the Lens Cap on and you can simply Bas click on the Lens Cap app and submit you where it says away comes up if we could just push one, and then it works without having to go into the app and change the settings just so that we can use the camera quickly for one or two minutes, like - it gets repetitive and old very quickly.

Otherwise, an A+ app.

Not what I needed

Technically I guess it works -- it blocks me from opening the Camera app. But it doesn't turn off the camera in video calls, which is what I need. So for me it's useless.

The BEST WAY TO STOP INTRUSIVE POSSIBLY

The Very Best App !!!!
