Is it possible to make it so they can only tap certain buttons and do to certain screens within a radius of an address or location? I tried looking at the thinkable documentation, but didn’t see anything there.

Yes, it’s possible. You can get the lat/Lon position using the location sensor. From there, you would need to use a formula to calculate the distance to another set lat/Lon position. This is typically done using the Haversine formula which you can search the forums for.
