Ratings and reviews

This app deserves a much better rating. I've tried a handful of screen rotation apps & I chose this one because it's the best one I've found. No complaints. Well, if you download the theming engine, there's a bit of a learning curve. It's kind of confusing at first but, that is the most negative thing I have to say. Figuring out the theming engine just takes a minute. That's how all theming engines are, though. If you want total control of your screen rotation, this is the app you want.

Didn't figure it's even possible to turn the screen upside down without rooting! This app is quite well written, and can allow it on the fly when the headphone jack is attached, for example. A possible improvement, don't know if it's possible, would be if it could honor the phones default notification to lock and unlock auto rotate.

Great app, but why is the permission to write over other apps not optional when floating head is disabled. Also, it will be nice if there was a brief description of what the various permissions are needed for.
