About this app

Auto Auto-Rotate is an extremely simple app that stores Android's auto-rotate setting per app.

Do you usually disable auto-rotate and enabled it only for some apps? Like your gallery, or your video app? Do you tend to forget to turn it off afterwards? Does it bother you?

Then Auto Auto-Rotate is the perfect app for you!

Auto Auto-Rotate is open source and released under the GPLv3 license[1]. Check out the code[2] if you like.

▸ REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS to make sure it keeps running in the background.

Ratings and reviews

After every 4-5 days Auto rotate function stops working. App is running in background. Only by toggling the switch Off & then On (Enable switch inside the app) function is restored. Using Usage Access method. I use it only on VLC player. Kindly fix this issue ! Vivo Y31 Pro, Android 16.

Got this for free on sale. It works as stated. Very convenient. I don't like to rotate my screen for anything other than horizontal games and photos. Since games automatically change rotation, I'm just using it for my gallery app to rotate vids and photos quickly. Only thing is the annoying notification banner thingy that stays up when the apps in use. Luckily, you can just turn off notifications for the app through your phone's app settings. 👍

Works just as intended! And it doesn't show ads or ask for in app purchases!! I saw the open-source version on F-Froid, but my phone won't let 3rd party apps give full system control.. so I bought it here.. And I'd rather pay a little money for a good app! You deserve it!
