## Review summary

Privacy Curtain is a well-regarded app that offers flexible screen coverage options for privacy with a smooth, ad-free experience. Users appreciate its range of patterns, touch-reactive resizing, and dedicated support. However, common issues include the curtain blocking touch interaction on covered areas, limited curtain size adjustments on certain edges, occasional battery drain, and requests for better lock controls and additional customization. Overall, users find it effective for privacy but hope for these enhancements in future updates.

### Pros

- App effectively creates a privacy screen with various shadow patterns and opacity levels to cover parts or all of the screen.
- User-friendly interface and smooth performance with options to resize and move the curtain overlay as needed.
- No ads, which improves the user experience.
- The app works well in full screen mode on multiple devices.
- Dedicated development with regular improvements and useful features for privacy protection.

### Cons

- The curtain overlay intercepts touch controls, preventing interaction with hidden content and making usability less convenient.
- Users find it difficult to adjust the curtain size on all edges, especially the top, left, and right, limiting customization.
- Battery drain issues reported, causing excessive power consumption when the app is active, especially overnight.
- The lock/activation controls could be improved to avoid easy exit from the app, reducing privacy effectiveness.
- Some users desire more texture/wallpaper options and improved visual customization.
