Review summary

EdgeBlock is praised for effectively preventing accidental touches on edge screens, especially on bezel-less or curved devices, improving user experience significantly. Users value its customization and the developer's support. However, common issues include problems with multitouch inputs where edge blocking interferes with game controls and other gestures. Some experience temporary full-screen touch blocks or inadequate precision in blocking configurations. The auto-start feature is reported as unreliable by several users. Overall, it is a useful tool with room for improvement in multitouch handling and configuration flexibility.

2024-11-16	E.*****	Thanks for your response. Enabling the EdgeBlock service results in Palma getting warmer. Disabling the service or uninstalling the app makes the device work normally. Reinstalling and reenabling the service causes it to warm up again. Not much, but it's noticeable. Also, the battery discharges pretty quickly then (1% every 6 minutes, even if the device is locked and not used). EDIT: Never mind, I've switched to Tasker instead.

2024-10-29	Ca*****	When an edge is touched, nothing else on screen can be touched. This is actually common in reviews Ive seen, similar edge blocking apps get the same complaint. Ive been tracking ghost touches with developer options and can confirm p1 is on the edge and p2+ are where I am actually touching. The problem would be fixed if pointers could be "swapped" but I doubt google will let you. System screen calibration is restricted on many newer phones, often with half built drivers, and edge-to-edge screens.

2024-09-08	Æt*****	For devices with curved edge screens like my old 1+8Pro it's probably the best solution for preventing accidental navigation errors. After I configured the perfect settings, my stress disappeared. On YouTube the slightest accidental touches kept interrupting what I was watching & load unwanted videos. & Thanks to the developers help, the auto boot up glitch was solved. It wasn't EdgeBlock's fault, it's was caused by One Plus. Thanks again Aaron. EdgeBlock Pro & DevCheck Pro are 5 star apps.

2023-12-27	Ko*****	The overlays can really block touches on the edges but are still selectable by touch which somehow negates/disables other additional secondary touches on the screen. I want the overlays to be like, disabling all touch responses on the edges, not only blocking them because it could be annoying for the overlays to still be selectable which makes additional secondary touches impossible. Please update this app to fix this issue, i already paid for the Pro version & i use this for gaming. Thanks!👍

2023-08-21	Ca*****	Goes to the actual edges of the screen, not just the display area. I use it to block only the tiniest strip right at the bottom in portrait mode where the very edges of my palms used to close out my keyboard mid-search. The problem is gone and no functions are impaired. Absolute godsend.

2022-08-08	Da*****	Used with the pixel 6 Pro, but not very helpful. A lot of apps still use swiping in from the left side to open the menu drawer. Having this app enabled basically disables that. I can't get any of those menu drawers to open by swiping in from the left side of the screen.

2022-06-06	Sa*****	After a little further testing three of the edges work exactly how I need them to work. But one edge does not. The edge at the top of the phone regardless of orientation does not allow you to touch it and touch something else within the same app. So this is The edge that would have the front facing camera. Basically the edge that would be the top of your phone.

2022-05-27	Pr*****	I wanted an app that would shrink my screen so that it would have the same effect as bezels because the lack of bezels makes it impossible to touch things at the edges of the screen. Instead this app leaves the screen the same size but makes the edges inactive which makes the problem worse. It would prevent accidental screen touches from activating whatever was touched but that's not what I want.

2022-04-17	An*****	This doesn't provide the option to block only part of the length of the screen. For example, you cannot block only the right side of the upper edge of the screen. The app will block the entire length of the screen by default. And it is possible to block only partially because I had an app the could do that years ago. But it apparently no longer exists.
