App summary

Touch Lock will disable screen touch and hide buttons, while any video player is running. When you or your child watch videos, it locks touchscreen and disables touch for navigational buttons, so you stay locked inside the video streaming service.

Child lock for videos - you as a parent can block screen touch and lock keys and then your toddler can safely watch any video player without interruption.

Listen to music with screen off - cover the screen and it will really turn off, so that you can put your phone in pocket and listen to a music playlist without interruptions.

FEATURES:
✓ Locks all touch while you watch videos in any video player or video stream service.
✓ Listen to music while locked, and screen will turn off when it is covered. ("Turn Screen Off in Pocket" setting is disabled by default, so enable it from Touch Lock settings)
✓ Baby lock - run some fun baby video or toddler app to your kid and lock the phone with the invisible touch lock
✓ Automatically shows a floating lock icon over video player, so that you can easily lock touch input
✓ Unlock screen with fingerprint or pattern (not available in "Light" lock mode)

Buy Premium version - a single purchase for a lifetime license and get:
✓ Unlimited duration of Touch Lock
✓ Shake phone to lock touch and unlock
✓ Hide unlock button entirely

The issue doesn't happen when use light lock. thanks for your support. [earlier comment] In the latest update of November 2024. The app is not working properly with YouTube. When we enable touchlock, the youtube gets closed

Works well most of the time yet still allows touches intermittently. I use it with ride-sharing so riders have something to watch during the ride. I check it regularly and some days it works perfectly and others I check and the screen is on something else and the lock is not working. I have to restart the whole tablet and start over to get it to work again.

The app worked better when it was free. Once I paid for it, it would no longer allow the videos to play when active. It literally freezes the screen even during video playback. That was my reasoning for wanting the app. DO NOT BUY, CONTINUE TO USE THE FREE SERVICE. 8/8 update- Developer, thank you for reaching out to resolve the issue. However, I uninstalled it due to frustration during a road trip with a 1 year old. Best,
