This app is great! I used to face a lot of problems while watching YouTube videos, accidentally pausing or skipping because of unintended touches. But with this app, I’ve finally sorted out that issue. It works perfectly, blocking unwanted touches and letting me watch videos without interruptions. Highly recommended if you’ve had similar problems!

I've absolutely loved this app for 3+ years, still use it but a major ease of access issue. I used to be able to touch the integrated touch blocker button from my top down menu on android to block the screen. Now I have to scroll to the bottom of my notifications ti tap that to block my screen.

App is great except for some reason with the app installed, doesn't even have to be running, it messes with my volume. Tried to toggle all switches on and off in settings, Didn't work. With this app installed it will only let me mute or turn to max volume. Won't let me adjust with physical buttons or adjust with on screen slider, when I do it instantly moves either all the way up or all the way down. Must be a glitch with the software an/or my android v#. Wondering if anyone else has this issue?
