Ratings and reviews

Thanks. I shouldn't need this, but each new Android version is worse than the previous one at detecting the orientation of the phone. I would just lock it into portrait, but there are times I want landscape, and locking it per app works. Now if I can just find an app that fixes the horizontal-vs-vertical detection of swipes I'll be all set.

Was tired of missing reverse portrait on my unrooted pixel⁷ after 5+ yrs of not running custom roms on my phones. Figured it was worth a shot and googled, found this, installed. Works great after 20s of intuitive setup 👍. Even has a notification pane quick settings toggle baked into the free version. Everything I wanted on my first try. Awesome. Take my ad revenue, clicked on some of the ads in the app too. Now I can use my pixel⁷ while charging -without- a 90° cable. Huzzah.

Complicated interface. Got it set up and working the way I want finally but have no idea which settings I changed to do that. Only want it turned on some of the time and want to turn it off the rest of the time. Don’t want to uninstall as I do not want to stumble through set up again. Can’t find any website with instructions? How to turn the app off, not pause? How to save settings in case I need to setup again? Edit: Thanks for the reply and instruction.
