## Privacy and Security ##
- This app requires Internet access solely to send anonymous crash reports (via Firebase Crashlytics) so I can fix bugs and improve app stability. The app does not collect, track, or transmit any personal data or usage analytics.
- 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
- [internet access] This is for crashlytics. See Privacy and Security above

## 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 the Privacy and Security section, screen information read by the app stays strictly on your device and is never recorded or sent out. Internet access is used exclusively to transmit anonymous crash logs to help fix bugs and crashes. Feel free to contact the developer if you have any concerns regarding this.

Ratings and reviews

It works good but you can't even adjust it so you can bring down the top panel (brightness, wifi, Bluetooth, etc) you have to try and pull it down several times, resulting in nothing. So you're just there constantly swiping and usually it doesn't drop down. Can't use the top panel in landscape, only portrait. Wish there were no edge at all, tbh.

Does not work at all and seems like a half baked incomplete WIP. No instructions or explanations of the yellow and green bars, other than they should prevent touch. Ok, then what's the difference between the two? Also has extremely limited options that only let you adjust the sides and not the bottom. Yet another Android failure trying to fix an android failure.

It does exactly what it says. unfortunately I have to stop the process and re enable to accessibility setting sporadically. I'm pretty sure it the OS doing this though hence the full 5 start raring.

What’s new

- Fix quick setting notification not working for older devices
- Fix settings not responding to changes
- Fix more crashes
