It s a very good app Plus points are it s very light weight kb does it s job nicely But I want to report 1 issue The notification message is not correct It s say click to disable when it s actually disabled and says click to enable when it s already enabled This causes confusion I think the messages are mixed up If you fix this I ll give 5 stars Otherwise awesome app                 Sharath Poojary

Excellent tool to have when walking jogging Can still listen to podcasts YouTube music etc Thx                     Liam Ream

Works great Love the shake to lock unlock Lots of user settings to personalise app Tried loads of other locks but this is by far the best My baby daughter can t stop videos or touch screen to cause problems so this is the perfect app Recommended                     Siriwan Naylor

Doesn t work well on android 8 but used to work well on old versions It doesn t block hitting notifications or home button so not as useful if I want it in my pocket             J Mizell

Works as intended but would have like the status bar to retract and not displayed fullscreen app like kodi is being used                 Hiep Nguyen

Best screen lock out there unless its in your pocket                     Billy Torture

doesnt work at all uninstalling     nat wee

amazing usefull app                     Jay

Works great for my applications                     A Google user

best app ever                     Faayaan Gacking Point

Didn t keep it locked at all     Madeline Roberts

Waste of space     Martin Gregson

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             Doesn t block recent used apps key Kori Swallow

It s a step in the right direction but pushing the power button off and on disables the screen lock That defeats the purpose of this app for me Fix that and I ll happily buy the full version and become your most enthusiastic promoter Ps Bonus points for an optional way to disengage Maybe look at the Mx player kids lock for inspiration Touch effects would send me over the moon             Good start but not great yet Tyson LeForgey

This touch blocker works great I use it when I let my toddler watch videos since he s always pointing at things on the screen It does work with Netflix you just need to activate it during buffering The only thing I would fix is the triple tap disable feature my toddler actually manages to disable the app with this feature on even though he certainly doesn t triple tap apparently him just touching the screen three times even slowly disables the touch blocker with this on                     Great for my toddler Rod Van Beek

Galaxy S7 EDGE Back button to re enable touch doesn t work Recent apps key not blocked Would pay for a user rhythm based unlock Use this most for YouTube while phone in pocket via Bluetooth but clicking Bluetooth device button while locked doesn t pause the video as it does when unlocked sound mutes though so you think it is paused Can this be done                 Good app with some issues tim carrington

It s greats to be able to disable the touch function on the phone when I hand over the to my son When I initially came across the I had my doubts with the old android gingerbread type GUI But I am glad I tried it It works well I have not had any issues It s also very configurable to how the touch function can be reactivated Recommend it                     Just Works Sachin Shenoy

With this app you can handle your tablet as if it were a real book or a solid insensitive surface Nothing improves ergonomy and interaction design more than this extremely simple yet powerful idea Try it yourself                     e Readers best companion Giulio Mecacci

i have a tablet with a cracked screen but use a bluetooth keypad mouse for functionality works fine When this app is on it also negates input on my keypad and mouse make it so the screen ONLY gets disabled and i will gladly buy full version             needs work Jay Y

Netflix didn t pause when I shake the tablet and it didn t pause Other than that it worked but defeated the purpose of having the app Update you gotta catch it as its loading the show then it worked I read that a bit too late I have a bad habit of skim reading things lol             Would be great if nevada Frost

To start it swipe down where you would stay your wifi or clear your notifications Press enable touch input The screen that you where on will pop back up To turn it off triple touch the screen fast These two lines of instruction would have been helpful to know I have s baby and we watch sesame Street etc and this saves him from browsing all over the place while he does his baby thing and grabs everything Ready to use the default setting should do it for the standard user Love it                 Keeps honest fingers honest Jon Venegas

It would be good if Touch Blocker could also block screen rotation when it is activated and turn it on again when disabled I like to keep my Auto rotate on generally but don t want it on when Touch Blocker is active                     Great app Almost Peter Roccella

Wanted this purely so I could give it to my one and a half year old to watch videos when he was playing up Videos were constantly pausing as he was always accidentally touching the screen This solves the problem perfectly                     Great John O'Boyle

I just have one request if there s a way to block jst the home buttons and leave the rest touchable that would complete every aspect needed for every situation                     Definitely an awesome and very useful app I ve always needed Alejandro Redimido

I don t know how many times my child has gone from a YouTube video to changing my phones time zone but this app had solved it Great app does exactly what it says                     Great for kids Denise Loukus

3 stars because when screen goes to sleep or turned off screen lock is dusabled So if child picks up phone and is able to turn on screen it is not locked nor can screen be locked by voice command             Clint Coleman

Exactly what I want I tried a couple other apps before this one and they don t even come close to what this app does                     Thank you Tanya Encalada

I use this app for showing my toddler movies when doing things he doesn t like medicine diaper changes etc It s a life saver I just wish the notification bar enabling worked with Amazon video                 Great for Toddlers Great with apps except Amazon Video Ashley Terhune

Almost works soft on screen buttons still appear but at least they do not work Unfortunately also stops my external Bluetooth keyboard from working making the app useless for me             David Daniel

It does not cover blocking of the menu button on the bottom left side Which makes the application pointless         Broken on galexy s5 colin8696908

Water Camera uses Volume Key to trigger shutter When Argus Touch Blocker and Water Camera are both active the Volume Key works as a Volume Key and Water Camera cannot operate     Breaks Water Camera john scheermeijer

I often listen to the sound only of the videos while doing simple works and while carrying the phone in the pocket It is very inconvenient that youtube and netflix video viewers don t allow to put the phone in the pocket while playing they would stop on screen lock and other actions This app is the solution It is not overly easy one but it is a reasonable usable workaround I wish Youtube and Netflix allowed listen only mode Maybe they do this intentionally to limit the streaming load on their servers For youtube until now I used PV star viewer which allows screen lock but it has few missing features it doesn t open youtube links forgets current position etc The instructions how to use the app are very poor almost nonexistent I recommend the author to clearly place them where it is easy to find them in the app and in the app description on google play and write clear instructions It is a guessing work I installed the paid key tried and uninstalled because i couldn t figure out how to use the app with netflix so I switched to UnTouch Baby Touch Blocker which is free             It might work but it is not easy to figure out how to use it Max Rempel

Used to be a favorite app New phone u0026 new app version u003d no longer works It s a shame     Zachary M

Useless The home back and recent buttons are unaffected by the touch blocking     Just like all the rest Henry Reavis

My daughter uses my phone for Youtube and it has been a god send for stopping her exiting the video accidentally only downside is if she pushes the task manager button that button still works 5 star app if a workaround or fix can be implemented                 Locks everything except Task Manager Ben Morgan

The app is good But the icon for recently used apps does not lock also my home button does not lock My toddler knows to touch the button to get to my home screen Hopefully this issue will be resolved then i will gladly keep using this app and spreading the word to other parents Thank you                 Felicia Rosas

It would be even better if there could be an update including an option to float an opaque on screen button somewhere on the screen to toggle lock on off But even without that option locking the screen by shaking the device and unlocking by triple tapping does the job better than nothing Free version user here by the way using the application to be able to hold the tablet like a book in order to read                     Does what it says Panos Sakkas

Does the job very well The only thing is that there is no way to block the soft buttons May be it is not technically feasible                     Great app Amit Gautam

I use it with the kindle app when reading in bed as it prevents accidental page turns I use the volume buttons to turn the page but especially when rolling on my other side I tend to grip the phone too tightly and flip a bunch of pages by touch Unless using this app                     Awesome Pepijn van der Kroef

Very happy with app I am able to stream YouTube music in my pocket with worrying it will go to the home screen Try it                     Review Toby Richards
