## Description

**Edge Touch** prevents accidental screen-edge touches on curved, bezel-less, or handheld devices. Block the top, bottom, left, or right edge in portrait and landscape modes, with controls for thickness, length, position, color, gradients, visibility, and activation behavior.

Use app-specific or system UI exclusions, keyboard-aware resizing, quick settings, boot startup, and lightweight edge blocking for games such as PUBG and Mobile Legends. The app has no ads, tracking, in-app purchases, storage access, or battery-draining background behavior. Accessibility Service access is required to display blocking overlays and detect the current foreground app; the developer states that screen content and personal data are not collected or transmitted.

## Review summary

Edge Touch is praised for its effective prevention of accidental edge touches on modern bezel-less phones, providing a simple, ad-free solution. Users appreciate its comprehensive coverage including navigation bars and responsive development. However, recurring issues include interference from required Accessibility permissions, occasional app stoppages needing manual restart, limited customization of dead zones, and occasional freezing or gesture conflicts, particularly in landscape mode or during gaming. Despite these, it remains a valuable tool for managing sensitive screen edges on Android devices.

### Pros

- Effectively prevents accidental touches on screen edges, especially helpful for devices with thin or no bezels.
- The app is simple, straightforward, and easy to use with no ads, contributing to a good user experience.
- Covers all corners including navigation and notification bars, unlike some alternatives.
- Developer is responsive to user feedback and updates the app promptly.
- Useful for gaming to avoid unintended inputs from screen edges.

### Cons

- Requires Accessibility permission, which can interfere with other app notifications or functionality.
- App sometimes stops working after a period and needs to be force stopped and re-enabled.
- Issues with adjusting or lowering the dead zone size below 1%, limiting customization.
- Some issues with edge protection interfering with system gestures like pull down of control/notification panels, especially in landscape mode.
- App sometimes freezes or causes touch controls to lock during use, particularly in games.
