## Description

**Disable Touch Screen** is a free Android touch-lock app that blocks accidental taps while watching YouTube, Netflix, web videos, or listening to music. Lock the screen with one tap so playback continues without interruptions, unwanted pauses, skipped scenes, or accidental ad clicks.

It is also useful as a kids video lock, pocket and bag protector, or screen-cleaning tool. Give your phone or tablet to children without worrying about them closing the video, and unlock the screen securely with a pattern password. The app is lightweight, simple to use, and designed for uninterrupted entertainment.

## Review summary

The app promises to lock touch input to prevent accidental taps, which many users find useful for kids or preventing accidental actions. However, a large number of reviews point to reliability issues (touch blocking failing, rotation issues, incomplete locking of navigation), pervasive ads and frustrating pricing for removing them. Overall sentiment is mixed: some users report it works in certain scenarios, while others experience crashes, ad loops, and bypasses that undermine usefulness.

### Pros

- Locks the touch screen to prevent accidental touches.
- Helpful for keeping the screen locked when used by children (e.g., during story time).
- When it functions, it can effectively prevent touches and unintended actions.

### Cons

- Many users report the app does not work reliably or at all (fails to block gestures, stops working after rotation).
- Ads are pervasive and intrusive, and paying to remove them does not always fix the issue.
- The app can get stuck in loops or display ads, making it unusable.
- Not all hardware buttons or navigation gestures are disabled (e.g., top bar, home/back keys can still be pressed).
- High or questionable pricing to remove ads or unlock full functionality.
