About

TouchGap

Read full description

Does your screen sometimes seem to miss a touch, but you cannot show exactly when or where it happens? TouchGap is a visual diagnostic tool that draws the touch events delivered to the app by your iPhone or iPad. It goes beyond drawing lines by showing time between events, samples per second, cancellations, and recurring locations so you can examine touch continuity. Five guided test modes • Trace Test: Follow a guide to review the input path across different screen areas. • Hold Test: Keep a finger down and watch whether contact remains continuous. • Multi Test: Move one, two, or three fingers together to check multitouch input. • Ghost Watch: Leave the screen untouched and record unexpected input delivered to the app. • Tap Test: Review recognition of single, double, and triple taps. See the path. Measure the timing. • A different colored trail and live contact point for each finger • Red dotted segments when the interval between received events exceeds your selected threshold • Samples per second, maximum event interval, suspected gap count, and cancellation count • A result summary marked Stable, Caution, or Retest • Diagnostic records with device model, OS version, and test time • Save a result image or share a PDF report Repeat the same test before and after removing a case or charger, or before and after a repair, to compare results under different conditions. No ads are shown on the active test screen, keeping the touch area clear. Important limitation TouchGap does not confirm or guarantee a hardware diagnosis. Every value and visual is based only on events that iOS delivers to TouchGap. Slow movement, system load, display refresh-rate changes, system gestures, and accessories can also affect event timing. Compare several repeated tests under the same conditions. If the issue continues, contact Apple or an authorized service provider for a hardware assessment.

Before you buy a used phone, before you sell one, before the return window closes on a new one — run Screen Test. Eight quick checks, one plain-English report, and a certificate you can actually show someone. No hunting through Settings, no cryptic diagnostic codes. Just tap through eight tests, answer honestly, and get a score out of 8 you can trust — or send. WHAT SCREEN TEST CHECKS Display • Dead Pixel — solid color fields expose stuck or dead pixels • Color Accuracy — RGB and white ramps reveal banding or tint • Uniformity — a flat grey field shows backlight bleed • Contrast — a fine checkerboard judges true black depth Touch • Touch — drag across the whole panel to find dead zones • Multi-Touch — press with several fingers to see how many actually register Geometry & Motion • Grid & Lines — a fine grid reveals distortion and bent lines • Response Time — a moving object exposes ghosting and blur HOW IT WORKS Start the guided run and Screen Test walks you through all eight, one at a time — with a short explanation of what you're looking for before each one. Answer "Looked fine" or "Something was wrong" and move on. The whole thing takes about two minutes. Screen brightness is raised automatically while a test is running and put back afterward, because a dim panel can hide the exact problems you're trying to catch. YOUR REPORT At the end you get a score, a plain-language verdict, and — if anything's off — a clear note on what to say if you're the one selling. Run it again later and Screen Test tells you what changed since your last check, so a new scratch or a new dead pixel doesn't slip past you.
