## Description

Touch Lock is a user-friendly app designed to disable your mobile touch screen during activities like watching videos or listening to music. It prevents accidental touches by locking the screen, which is especially useful when enjoying streaming content or playlists without interruption. The app features a simple three-step activation from the notification panel, allowing quick toggling of the touch lock.

Ideal for parents, Touch Lock serves as a child lock screen to avoid unintended screen interactions when toddlers watch videos or use apps. In addition to blocking touches, this feature helps save battery life by locking the screen during music playback. Users can easily activate or deactivate the touch lock from notifications, enhancing convenience and control. The app requires system overlay permissions to function properly and offers reliable protection against unwanted screen touches.

## Review summary

Users appreciate the app for effectively preventing accidental screen touches, especially useful for toddlers and media viewing. It is simple and serves a focused purpose well. However, common issues include repeated rating prompts, inability to lock navigation buttons leading to accidental exits, frequent app crashes, and unreliable auto-start after phone reboots. The UI can be confusing and may require some initial adjustment. Overall, it is valued but has some stability and usability shortcomings.

### Pros

- Effectively prevents accidental taps on the screen, especially useful when handing the phone to toddlers or for watching videos without interruptions.
- Provides convenient lock features for the touch screen, allowing uninterrupted media playback and eBook reading.
- Simple and effective app with a specific function that many users find valuable.
- Notification center shortcut and lock button in the pull-down menu allow for quick access.
- Helps reduce issues like accidental calls or screen interactions due to unintentional touches.

### Cons

- App sometimes prompts for rating repeatedly after unlocking shortcut is used, which can be annoying.
- Does not lock the navigation buttons or soft keys (home, back), allowing accidental presses to exit locked apps.
- Crashes or closes itself frequently, requiring users to relaunch the app multiple times.
- Auto start or auto boot does not work reliably; app needs manual activation after phone reboot.
- User interface can be confusing with duplicate lock icons in the notification area and some text overlap issues, making it difficult to use initially.
