About this app

Touch Lock will disable screen touch and hide buttons, while any video player is running. When you or your child watch videos, it locks touchscreen and disables touch for navigational buttons, so you stay locked inside the video streaming service.

Child lock for videos - block screen touch and lock keys while your toddler can now safely watch any video player without interruption.

Listen free music with screen off - cover the screen and it will really turn off, so that you can put your phone in pocket and listen to a music playlist without interruptions and also save battery from screen usage.

FEATURES:
✓ Locks all touch while you watch videos in any video player or video stream service.

✓ Baby lock - run some fun baby video or toddler app to your kid and lock the phone with the invisible touch lock

✓ Unlock screen with fingerprint or pattern

EVEN MORE:

Ratings and reviews

I was really excited about this app but it has a long way to go. It only worked about 30% of the time- it would say the screen was locked but most definitely was not, or I'd hit the icon to lock the screen and the app it was overlying would shut down or a number of other things. When they asked me to pay I decided to uninstall, not going to pay for something that doesn't even work properly.

This is an excellent application and worth every penny, costing less than a luke warm cup of coffee for the fully featured app. For me, it paid for itself on first use. Besides Youtube, I use it to listen to news shows and Udemy classes while doing chores, shopping, working out, etc., If you want to multitask and listen to videos while doing other things, this is the app for you. The shake lock is super convenient, and the pocket feature, which automatically turns off the screen to save battery, while still playing the audio, is awesome. Pull the phone from your pocket and voila the display lights up. It sounds like there was a bug with a PREVIOUS update, but it appears the issue was totally resolved.

This app is really great - I'm definitely glad I found it. No issues so far and I love the auto feature. I feel bad for the developer getting all sorts of bad reviews for: 1. Ads - developers have expenses/need to be compensated for their time just like you do when you work. These ads are not very intrusive at all, and removing them is only $3. 2. Functionality - If you are on some older device that the manufacturer doesn't provide updates for, I wouldn't be surprised if you have issues.
