Description
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

3 ★ Doesn't automatically come up on the notification bar, something the pro version promised! Doesn't work on either of the 4 devices I purchased it on, pretty disappointed and would love to have it fixed ASAP as these will be in the retail environment in less than a week!
5 ★ ...that power button lock? 😁 For Netflix with a baby, I used the lock delay without any overlay icon (somehow my son hit the overlay unlock and I couldn't believe it). The extended delay gave me plenty of time to launch his favorite show, then after the notification says locked, done!
5 ★ 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+
5 ★ 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.
4 ★ 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
5 ★ My 2 yr old daughter watches YouTube and videos on my tablet and phone but always finds a way to go to another app or turns of the screen. With this app no More daughter issues and she finally watch a whole video without interruption.
4 ★ 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.
1 ★ No button comes up on this page to open. Just a button to refund. Can't find app on device to open . You are wasting. My time. Refunded.
5 ★ 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!!!
3 ★ 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).
5 ★ 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
3 ★ I bought the paid version so I could disable home and back buttons, but it doesn't work.
4 ★ 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!!!
5 ★ 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!
5 ★ Really like this app, very useful for cleaning the screen while reading a book etc and showing someone a pic without them accidentally pressing something or going through my other photos or worrying about them seeing incoming sms' in the notification bar
