★★★★★ Dave Null · May 5, 2022
Works great! The microphone is activated during calls and deactivated afterward. Thanks!
★☆☆☆☆ Ryk Brown · Dec 25, 2020
The app does not work at all. I turned the mic off then recorded a video and the video had sound.
★☆☆☆☆ Naithan Wade Yao · Mar 11, 2022
Fix this up my mic did not turn on and when I try to record my voice I can't hear it even its off fix this
★☆☆☆☆ Rxyvin · Sep 28, 2020
Boring. What do people not understand about muting the mic aka background noises and not the audio?
★☆☆☆☆ Team Clarkin · Apr 18, 2020
Did not disable the mic when in video mode (Moto G2 Play), which is what I need it to do. I'll keep looking...
★☆☆☆☆ Stephanie Blue · May 16, 2021
Thus, blocker claims to automatically enable mike when making calls or videos. My existing microphone blocker must be manually disabled to make a video, (a hassle), so I looked forward to this one doing it automatically. Alas, it would not ☹️
