Overall a pretty good security app. I noticed however that it does use internet in the background and I'm not sure why that is, as it should be local on my device, hopefully not uploading any data (although I don't think it was). Another thing is while I was testing, I noticed that it notifies me when the camera is being used 100% of the time, but not much when the microphone is being used, which I hope can be fixed in future updates. Other than these two things, it's an amazing app.

Edit: i understood how it worls, right now you have 3 notifications type "mainstatus" "camerastatus" and "mic status"... if you just add an option to always triger camerastatus and micstatus (and the main as well) that would be amazing because we could then manage the notifications on android directly... we could for instance keep the main notifocation to avoid android kill + HIDE ITS ICON while we customise the 2 others as pleased. Thanks. Also please add support for system app like phone app

So far okay. I think it would be much more useful if the taskbar icon *were not* present when all is safe, and only appears when activity is detected. That will grab the user's eye as opposed to just getting used to it and "manually" checking.

All it did was list everything with camera or mic permissions but half the time it listed apps that didn't even have those permissions. It would drain my fully charged phone every night. If you weren't using your phone, you'd have no way of knowing when the camera or mic were in use because there was no notification other than a colored drop down window.

[ OnePlus 5T - Stock OOS ] Successfully notifies me when camera/mic is in use. Would be useful to light notification light when camera is in use as the notification can be a tad disruptive. Also an option to customize notification font and text message would be neat! The potential this app had is worth the money.

Crashes when camera launches. Galaxy Note 8 with root access. If I run the app and then launch the camera, your app immediately crashes. It seems to be device related as the app works fine on a friend's Moto G.

About this app

CameraMicAlert communicates with the core camera and mic interface built into Android to detect if the camera or mic is in use by malware or software. CameraMicAlert then alerts you by updating an ongoing notification that is present in the notification menu.

CameraMicAlert also provides a list of all the times the camera and/or Mic was activated and a list of suspected apps this can be viewed by clicking the activity log button displayed in the app

CameraMicAlert keeps all this information on your device and doesn't share it with any external service.
