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 if you like[2].

Ratings and reviews

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. 👍

I've tried many solutions to the Auto-Rotate challenge and keep coming back to AA-R as the simple and easy solution that just works. After using the F-Droid version for some time I am purchasing this version to support development. Thanks for your efforts.

If it's as good as the F-Droid version this is great. It sometimes drops a set app, but I guess it's when that app has a major update and breaks the link.
