About Touch Blocker

Touch Blocker is a simple but useful app that makes holding and using your device easier. There are two basic functions - it can create dead zones where touches do not register and also filter the screen when reading in low light. For those who have kids, the first tool is indispensable.

Both functions can be controlled via device shake, notification or widget. You can create your own custom zones or use predefined ones.

This is a stable Beta release. You can follow its progress at the XDA thread here: http://goo.gl/Tilmj

Please be sure to write with suggestions - we are looking forward to engaging the community and building a useful and nifty application that many will enjoy!

VERY VERY USEFUL ... especially for ones who has some screen touch problems .. u can disable a tiny bit of the screen ,, so u can disable the trouble part ... and ur screen becomes new and no need to change it !!

I finally found an app that only blocks parts of the screen, awesome! But it cannot block the notification bar on the top which is the area I wanted blocked :-(

Pretty much useless

Very useful for underwater pictures to avoid crazy screen usage and use the volume buttons as a shutter. If you use android lollipop make sure the app has enough permissions.

Can't take constructive criticism, told someone they should be shot because of a 1 star rating.

this is the most usefull apps for reading using a tablet with super this bezel or big phone with 6 inch screen. but to bad the area its block just not big enough. i already purchased but refund because of it doesnt support tablet with high dpi. please make it compatible with tablet screen.

Touch is not disabled at all on my HTC one m8. Tried everything.

M70%
by M####:

Visible lines shown in the touch disabled area (s) interfere with watching a movie or reading a book. Pretty lame to go out of your way to add a feature that renders your app unuseable.

Very good idea

I bought the app. Totally not worth it. I wrote to the author and there has been no reply so poor support. Also, it also says in the description of the basic app: "You can create your own custom zones or use predefined ones." that is not precisely true. You can not create you own custom zones to block but you can turn on and off sections of the pre-defined zones. So that is pretty lame. Its a waste of time and money.

I like it very much. The only reason i wont give five stars is because I wish the filters could be made thinner. I would like to filter out a controlbar in Snote on galaxy note 8. Now it filters abit too much. Maybe im a little too picky. Otherwise this is the best app ive found so far for blocking touch input.

I have tried a couple apps, this one is like the others, doesn't block the buttons.

hi... when I touch the active zone and drag my finger in the block zone it still register my touch in the block zone... can you make so that when I touch and drag my finger from the active zone to the block zone and it will not register the touch when my finger reach in the block zone? thanks...

Why are the lines visible when activated? Even in paid version. Would love to change rating higher. Tasker integration would also be great.

Y70%
by Y####:

I get it. Its a device to make people purchase the key. You give them a free app (which is basically useless) and then when they figure out it is useless, they go buy the key. Why don't you just make this a paid app instead of the bait and switch?

I haven't yet needed a palm rejector, but I'm glad I have one. I love the simplicity of the screen filter, too. I've tried a lot of them and now this I my fav.

My phone has a spot on the touch screen that gets activated without user input (a phantom touch zone) and this app is perfect for disabling that spot and making the phone usable again. Este aplicación me ha salvado porque hay una zona en la pantalla donde se registra pulso sin que yo lo toque y puedo deshabilitar esta zona. Eso me hace que el móvil me sirva cuando antes era casi imposible usarlo.
