This app uses accessibility service.
This is used to detect when an app is launched or closed and allows you to change the rotation actions for each app.
This information is not stored or shared.


【For OPPO users】
This app needs to run a service in the background to detect which app has started.
OPPO devices require special settings to operate app services in the background due to their unique specifications. (If you do not do this, services running in the background will be forcibly terminated, and the app will not operate properly.)
Please drag this app a little down from the recent apps history and lock it.
If you do not know how to set, please search for "OPPO task lock".

Ratings and reviews

This app works great, it lets you lock it in any position you'd like (including upsidown, I think whatever bug the other guy encountered was fixed) you can set it to rotate automatically (just from landscape to portrait and vise versa), and you can put it in "unspecified" which just uses the same settings your phone uses; effectively turning the app off. It keeps vibrating every time it rotates though and that's a little distracting.

So near yet so far. I got the trial version to rotate the home screen on a new TCL-20S, a function which for some reason TCL has disabled. The app does the job, but in a maddening way: icons don't rotate in place, but change size and spacing; it zooms the wallpaper to a small middle section; it sounds a notification, twice, every time I unlock. Don't feel like paying $3.49 for these idiosyncrasies.

The one thing I really wanted from this app was to allow automatic rotating 180 degrees and on two different phones (LG G6 and Samsung S21 Ultra) it doesn't allow this. There is a "portrait sensor" setting, which suggests it should work, but it simply doesn't. It can rotate 180 degrees manually so if you only need to do it occasionally it's OK. Too bad as otherwise it seems to have a refined interface and decent features.
