Ratings and reviews

I'm not sure why manual functionality (like this) isn't standard (even governable with gestures). My phone has ”auto” and ”portrait-locked” orientations. Sometimes (when I'm reading a curiously formatted web page), I like to be able to keep it in ”landscape” without it freaking out when I pick up my phone; this application solves that.

Best rotation app out there. The only way to improve it is by adding a sensor based (inverse) portrait mode. Same for landscape. The one other app I found that had this functionality flipped too quickly.

Thank God! Finally an app that let's me change the screen orientation! My phones sensors don't seem to be workn and all the other things I tried in past didn't work. Just make sure you add that quick setting and things work great!
