Ratings and reviews

A must-have if you use your device in landscape mode! Modern Android lacks any way to lock the screen in landscape. Turning off auto-rotate just forces portrait. If you often use your device in landscape, this is a major pain. To add insult to injury, many apps force portrait even with auto-rotate turned on. This app fixes all of that! You can lock the screen to any orientation and even override app preferences. A simple, flawlessly executed app that makes life better for landscape users!

Worked well for a while. In recent months, the screen will rotate to follow the ohysical orientation of the phone. I check to make sure it is on, and it is. Very annoying. I just updated as of 6/13/24, but I've been using another program (app as the fad oriented would say) recently, as this one wouldn't function properly. I'll try again presently, and update the review if the problem is resolved.

So far this does exactly what it says it will do. I have a Samsung Note 9, with a stick on pop-up grip thing on the back. I just got a wireless charging dock that only works when the phone is EXACTLY centered on it, so I had to move the pop grip thing to the very bottom of the phone. This is fine, except when it hangs in the car cradle, it otherwise hangs upside down. Rotating the display 180 degrees now lets it hang in the proper orientation, AND use the pop grip, AND use my wireless charger!! Winning! Why Samsung wouldn't just have this as part of their OS like other Android devices is a mystery, but fortunately this works great!
