## Security note ##
- App does not request internet access. So not possible to receive any data in and/or transmit and data out
- App does not request disk/storage access. So not possible to write and store any data

## App permission ##
- [request delete packages] meant for prompting a dialog to request uninstalling edge touch app when user have both this and donation version installed. This app will not function properly if both of them are installed
- [run foreground service] meant for querying installed applications to allow user select which application/s (when runs in foreground) to enable/disable edge blocking

## Runtime permission ##

Accessibility Service:
Edge Touch blocking functionality depends on accessibility setting. The accessibility setting is used to render views on the screen edges to block unwanted touches. The setting is also used to read the current foreground application package name, system ui and keyboard. This is to allow Edge Touch to remove the rendered view when avoiding them is configured. Edge Touch does not control, read and modify any screen content. Edge Touch does not collect any personal and sensitive data.

These permissions are dangerous as they allow developers to read everything rendered on the screen. Fear not, as mentioned in Security note section, if the app do reads information rendered on the screen, it has no possible way to record and/or sending them out. Feel free to contact developer if you have any concern on this.

Ratings and reviews

Please add ability to preserve edge settings in the Landscape-Left and Landscape-Right modes. So that whether I'm watching fullscreen landscape video on the left or right side, always the exact same part of the screen is blocked. Also please add ability to disable "Clicks to disable blocking". I have multiple ghost touches in the blocked area, so I need to set count to 10000 to prevent ghost touches from disabling blocking.

The app is a total game changer for the usability of my expensive bezel-less phone, so I'm more than happy to pay you a coffee! However, when donating, a copy of the app gets installed and if i remove it the coffee gets refunded. So i removed the old copy but i had to re-configure my settings, exclude from battery saver etc for the coffee version. Took me just a couple of minutes so it's a minor annoyance - just some feedback to help you keep the coffee coming :)

Works well but avoiding selected apps doesn't work at all. Please fix it. Even if I choose an app to avoid collision the edge is still blocked while running the app.

What’s new

- Add setting to disable blocking touch
- Add setting to disable "Click to Disable"
- Support separated settings to share right/top in portrait and landscape
- Support separated settings for left and right landscape

Buy me a coffee? Tee-hee
