About Screen Lock/Disable Touch Pro

Buy the author of Screen Lock / Disable Touch a beer -- or simply support his work by purchasing this app.

You need to get the free app itself here: http://touchblocker.argotronic.com or select Screen Lock / Disable Touch below.

Wait -- you came here first and don't yet know what Touch Blocker is? Then let me briefly tell you (because it's free and even without donating here to unlock all options in my opinion rather useful).

Touch Blocker prevents unintentional touch interaction with the touch screen of your device by blocking touch input. Disable touch input while watching Youtube and you don't have to worry about skipping scenes by accidentally touching the screen. Also useful if you hand your phone to someone (e.g. to show them a picture) and don't want them to mess with the device.

The 'app' you are just reading the descripton of does not have a launcher icon. It's only purpose is to unlock the following features of the of the free version:

- lock the volume keys when the touch input is disabled
- hide the notification bar
- add a configurable delay before the touch input is is disabled
- a password can be set that is required to unlock the device
- a widget to quickly easily disable touch input
- an option to go FULLSCREEN (hide navigation and notification bar) -- up until Android 4.3 *ROOT* was required to use this though

In case you want to use this app with Netflix then here is a tutorial that shows you how to do it: http://youtu.be/w4wixMgltLc

You should allow someone to either use the triple tap OR power button to unblock screen. I would give this app 5 stars, but when my daughter touches the power button while watching netflix it pauses netflix and i have to triple tap, unlock the screen, exit netflix, re enter netflix, start the movie again and quickly enable the touch blocker!! Too much effort for that. Please think of making this issue better. Like i said, would be 5 starts if not for that issue.

My biggest complaint about using phones is having a picture, email, or whatever accidentally disappear when I (or someone else) accidentally touches the screen. This annoyance was multiplied when I got a Samsung Edge - even more places to trigger an unwanted action. Then I discovered this app. I don't know what it can do besides let me select how to activate and deactivate it, but one try at showing my wife a picture without losing its display and I updated to the pro version. $2.00 is such a small price to pay for such control. I'm going on a trip tomorrow and am looking forward to having my boarding pass available when I take my phone out of my pocket. That ability alone is worth many times more than I paid for the app. I don't watch movies on my phone so I can't comment on how that works. I just know that it works and I never knew it existed until today. Thanks!!!

This app has a few flaws. I will get to that. Firstly, the unlocked version actually works with netflix. Here is what needs improving : 1. You dont need so many permissions. Reduce the permission requests. 2. You need to allow the screen to dim once the delay lock is completed. Might helo save some battery during listening session on youtube? 3. The screen off on lock function doesnt work on s7 edge 4. The overlay icon is SO SMALL. A person with bad eyesight and big fingers will not be able to use this func

I would love to love this app but it doesn't block the button to swap between 'recent used apps'! This key is located right where little fingers hold on to the phone! Defeats the purpose of locking the screen if that button can be selected which backs the tiny human viewer out of the video. Every other feature seems great and works as described. Please fix it so the recent apps key is blocked too!! (Samsung S5 user)

My 15 month old loves to watch nursery rhyme videos on YouTube but always presses the home/menu button this is the only app that lets her watch the video without it being stopped by accident yes power button is the only button that stops it but needs to so u can unlock the fone again after u wana stop watching etc... glad i spent the $ cheap convenient and everyone's happy

I love this app. I use it for every video I watch on my Android devices. Since almost no video app allows background playback, it's inevitable to accidentally hit a button and get thrown out of the video and have to resume... etc etc. This app fixes that problem and it's awesome. Great job dev I use this app daily it's a godsend!!

This would be a five star app but the inability to disable the app switcher button on my phone (Note 4) makes it useless. Value of the app will depend on your device.

Tried pro version... it works. Cons: 1. No way to block power button or menu button (samsung s5). 2. Not so many options to unblock. Triple tap might already be used for zooming (accesibility).

Have this on my son's tablet and iI love it! Can change the amount of touches before it unlocks.. and there's a back up lock. 3 is just not enough he unlocks it instantly almost. Waste of money.. make this app like the tablet app and then 5 stars!

It stated it would work for my phone so I purchased the pro version because of my daughter and it doesn't do anything after installation. The only option it gives me is into uninstall. I don't even,get the option to lock the screen I have installed and uninstalled multiple times and still the same thing. No option to lock screen.

Great App!!! The only button that´s not locked its the "recent apps" button on my Galaxy Note 4 (the one on the left of the Home Button). I would give 5 stars if you fix it!!! Thanks!!!

Is there a way to stop the options button ? When my daughter holds her tablet she taps the options button and your lock doesn't seem to work for it if she hits it multiple times it brings up options on her tablet

It used to be green/red icon when it was free. After i purchase the pro version, it changed to a boring black n white notification icon. DEVELOPERS: Pls add the option to change between the old green/red icon and the current icon. I would gladly change my rating to 5 stars thereafter.

I highly recommend this app and the developer is super helpful in helping me so the app allows me to use my Sony X2 underwater (water registers as taps on the screen, resulting in zooming and stopping filming when I don't want it to) Brilliant all round.

The pro version with the overlay button is the only way to make watching Netflix on a tablet bearable. Without this app I hit the back button about 15 times an hour and is so disruptive to normal viewing. With the overlay button, I hit play and hit lock, and I am happy. 2 things: Possible to lock the app button too? And, it would be super amazing if the overlay button could disappear after locking and reappear if tapped 3 or 4 times. Thx, A+

Ugh....why cant this be a simpler app? Paid to support it and it just wont work with my Galaxy Note 3. Bought it to lock my phone while my toddler watches movies but no mayyer if Netflix, Google Play or YouTube, he can still stop the movie.

I previously reviewed this app, or rather its free version, two years ago. It worked well then on another phone, but I felt there were room for improvement & didn't continue to use it. I'm pleasantly surprised that the developer has since worked on & enhanced it, and the latest version works just fine with my Ultimate Dynamic Navbar + live wallpaper + Gravity Screen Pro. Glad to buy you the beer & hope many others will do likewise! Cheers!
