Description

This is a simple auto rotate widget.

This application is included with my other toggles in my Premium Widget pack available for purchase in one convenient download!

**If you are having problems seeing the widget, please try recreating the widget or reinstalling. Necessary code updates may require this action, sorry!

This is designed to match my other widgets. This refreshes on a regular interval and when the screen is turned on (unlike other widgets) to stay up to date.

Please check out my other applications!

This is a widget. Long press on the home screen -> Add Widget -> Auto Rotate Widget.

Does what it says! 10/10 The widget is very helpful and I have not got any problems so far. I do think that the widget affects camera mode so that may be a problem but that is bot confirmed. But still, great widget that makes my life just that extra bit better and easier!

Excellent! It does exactly what it was mint to do & that's to turn off screen rotation. Excellent! It does exactly what it was mint to do & that's to turn off screen rotation & it does it & does it well. Just add the widget to your screen & when you want to turn off screen rotation then you just touch the icon & its off & you touch it to turn it back on again. It could not be any easier then this. It I'd so much better then having to go to settings, then display & changing the setting. With this widget it is so much easier.

Hello world? The widget usually works fine, but a strange thing started happening. The widget disappeared, and in its place a faint "hello world" appeared. The problem was intermittent; after the widget went into hiding a second time, I removed it from my home screen and re-added the widget. We'll see if the mysterious behavior comes back...

Didn't work After 2 attempts to install, the app never showed up on my homescreen or in my app drawer. Found a different app that installed correctly & quickly; also works very effectively.

Works but suggestion Heyho tested this with my nexus 5 Widget works fine with Android 4.4.2 But if the developer is open for a suggestion that'll be great Could you make it that under the notification pull down thing when you go to the quick settings that an option there is created? That would be very awesome

Doesn't ever show up after installed Biggest blunder... Never makes itself visible on Android desktop

Fixed my problem. Galaxy J5 stopped rotating. Rotate option vanished from menu. This app solved the problem. Also it uses none of the usual spyware options. Great.

December 28, 2016

Shame Had this on a couple of older phones, tried to re install on the newest one and although downloaded, it never appeared anywhere mysteriously on the phone. Will reluctantly use a different one. Shame.

Doesn't work properly on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 When I turn autorotate off, it flips to horizontal mode. It will not lock in vertical but automatically flips to horizontal.

Luc OnTheMove March 27, 2015

It doesn't work. It installs, but right there on the Play store page, there is no Open button. Then I can't find it in the widget list or even the app list. On Settings > Apps, it's there, but again, there is no Open or Launch button, only Uninstall. App Tyrant is an app that can run, backup or uninstall apps, but it can't run this one. Weird!

Shreya Goel April 12, 2014

It's amazing that this requires no special permissions... Commendable! It could be made more attractive in design. Also if you turn rotation on off directly from settings then the widget doesn't refresh which is slightly irritating. But it does it's job!

Eric DiValerio February 24, 2014

Does what it says, very simply! It looks nice and does what it was made to do. It's convenient and free. Also, there are no unnecessary permissions! Good job, and thanks! Edit: I've had it nearly a month now. I've experienced no glitches attributable to this :)

Glenda Jones March 28, 2015

Doesn't work Doesn't work with Moto G. Only the second one I've tried but neither of them worked. It shows in the settings menu that it IS switching auto rotate on and off, but doesn't actually do it. Auto rotate doesn't work at all until app is uninstalled.

Ahmed Saeed December 10, 2012

Sujjestion Its awsome widget for auto rotation. There should be widget too which can change keyboard styles for typing like switching to qwerty or keypad style or compact qwerty.. that will be highly appreciable.

David Chiang April 11, 2013

Problem Works on my htc one s but not on my nexus 7. Great widget just needs to work on tablet. Thanks

HollowWolf76 April 14, 2014

Cool Thank you! This app really helped me since my auto rotate on my tablet turns off alot and I can't turn it back on this app helps my problem

Buddy Morgan April 11, 2013

Works great Super easy to use, much more simple than turning rotate on and off in the settings. Great for when your laying down! Keeps texts, browser, etc from flipping to landscape.

Josh Tiffany January 31, 2015

Perfect This is exactly what I was looking for!! It's just a simple widget, the size of an app, that toggles the auto-rotate that's hidden away in the settings. 4 clicks to now 1 click for toggling auto-rotate!!

Joiless O August 11, 2015

It works... mostly. Unfortunately it locks the rotation to portrait-mode only. So it works fine, except that what I needed was to disable my device's hyper-sensitive need to switch to portrait.

Herb Moore April 27, 2013

Great widget! My Android phone instantly became much less annoying! THANKS!! :]

Sunny Wu November 19, 2014

Love this. I've switched phones in the past and reinstalled my phone a few times. Always go back to this app because the design looks great and does what it is suppose to do. Awesome widget.

August 28, 2016

Pretty and straightforward What you want in an app: Does its job without stealing your information with NSA-level permissions; pretty or inventive ways to show its status; and stability. The toggle widget fits all three requirements.

DC&W Finland March 23, 2016

Excellent Apps m8 I am very happy with the widgets you create, you should make them paid! Quality always cost! Thank you for your good work

Barbara Kelman June 5, 2014

Works great on my tablet! Just got a new tablet and sometimes I just don't want it to rotate. This does the job very simply; thanks.

Rusty Hindman December 12, 2013

didn't work have ASUS tablet appeared in widgets but screen will not rotate moved to home screen same thing

Jim Crowley January 1, 2014

Okay Works great on my Moto X, always locks my Nexus 10 in landscape. I guess it depends on your device.

Lolwutfordawin November 18, 2014

Perfect Does what it should completely without annoying ads! Very happy :)

Andre Boutin July 31, 2013

Worked well until 4.3 update Recently upgraded to Android 4.3, won't work anymore. Please fix!

Benjamin Tiessen October 19, 2014

Does exactly as advertised very well Most useful android app for laying in bed and watching videos or taking pictures.

liam thomas May 17, 2014

Does its job There is nothing bad to say and it works

Anand Rajamani January 14, 2013

Widget appears. But doesn't work. This is a sad app. I really didn't expect this.

Peter Stephenson February 16, 2014

Simple and reliable Shows the current state (locked/unlock), simple toggle, no unnecessary menus, perfect

Nicole Dallal May 7, 2014

Sigh. I wish there were more of these.

Gary McCarter April 15, 2017

Downloaded it, twice. Can't find it anywhere on the phone. Update, tried a third time. You have to do the long press on blank spot on the home screen then choose the widget file to find it

douglas jasie March 25, 2016

Auto rotate screen Downloaded it where is it? Waste of time!!

Todd Berkebile December 29, 2013

It just works Simple, direct, easy, no gimmicks or strings attached. Exactly what I wanted!

Alan Kvasnik August 12, 2016

Attempted on lg k7 last week, didn't work, got a zmax 2 and it didn't show up as visible...wished it could've gone somewhere But it's not
