Ratings and reviews

App is great! Very configurable, maybe not the most immediately intuitive. Also a bit strange that unlocking all the features requires another app to be installed. But it's all worth it for the functionality and the fact that no data is collected. I wish you would develop a Google TV app that can just flip orientation easily, globally. Like for a projector that doesn't support this natively. Would totally buy that for a higher price even. Thanks!

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.

Again, there's nothing I use more and something like this could have been a feature in phone settings, but here you are! My day is easier, my apps don't randomly rotate even if my phone's auto is off and the UI is clean and straight to the point. I would have happily paid 20$ for this, as my phone should have already had it! Developer, you have solved such a serious problem I feel like you should be famous for it 🫶
