????? Give more details!! About what it does. People don't even know if it works or makes my screen go crazy intentionally. It doesn't ask any permissions, so I don't think it can create fake touches. An app which can create fake touches will be an ultimate hacking tool ;)

Does what it says. Just got a Nexus 7 with a wonky touchscreen. Found this app and confirmed the defect. Displaying the first pattern I got fantom touches all over the screen, then the poor machine froze for a few seconds and then the app crashed. To test the app I tried it on my trusted Note 8 - and it worked perfectly, all patterns and touch smooth as butter.
★★★★★
Certainly not fake I took a screenshot of a faulty pattern, opened it, zoomed 100% - ghost touches (they even cause unzooming almost instantly)

Wtf!? Okay I have had issues with multitouch on my nexus and I have always had "show touches" enabled. Not once have I ever seen it do what this asp is doing. I find it odd that these "ghost touches" only appear in your app.
★★☆☆☆
Fake I have had 3 nexus7s and the first 2 had touch screen issues and the 3rd doesn't. So on my 3rd nexus 7 I can do everything perfect all the time and I never have any issues. I know what touchscreen issues are like having 2 that had them. This app is the only time my 3rd n7 ever shows fake touches. Even on my first two with touchscreen issues I never had my screen freak out with all these fake touches till I used this app. This app is nonsense and should be pulled from the Play Store. Flagged
