User Reviews for Screen Orientation Control APP
Just installed and it seems to work, although I haven’t tried it with lots of apps. It allows you to select 5 controls (from a selection of eleven) to have in a control bar (also available on a widget). Of course, I would like to have 6: one for each orientation, one for full sensor mode and one to follow device default orientation. Alternatively, the portrait and reverse portrait functions could be combined into a single toggle portrait control and the same for the two landscape functions, allowing me my 6 functions in 4 buttons. The 5 other options available in the app are ‘sensor port'[rait] (i.e. will switch automatically between just the two portrait orientations), ‘sensor land'[scape], ‘lie left’, ‘lie right’ and ‘headstand’. I think the last three are to control orientation when the phone is lying flat. If you think the control bar looks ugly, you can adjust background and icon colour for both the active control and the inactive controls. This affects both the in-app control bar and the widget. There are ads but, as far as I can see, they are only in-app and once it is configured, the widget should suffice. I would like options for the app to activate automatically when headphones or charger are plugged in, as that is when I am most likely to want the reverse portrait mode. Also, as my homescreen does not do well in landscape, an option to leave the homescreen alone might be useful. If these are implemented, if I get my 6th function on the bar and if the app remains stable, then it would get 5 stars from me.

FINALLY one of these rotation control apps that works! I have tried and uninstalled 9 different apps to control the auto rotation because I HATE that function. Specialty when it would rotate on a slight nudge. In particular was my recipe app. NO MORE! It works the way it should. If, like me, you can’t stand apps that override your rotation settings, then this is A MUST HAVE APP! I am a happy camper now!
good app for screen rotation
very effective..does the job for my infinix tab x
I am a newbie to this APP so far so good. Keep up the good work.
An excellent app. Does what it says, with no advertising, no fees, no bugs, no strange permissions requested. If only all apps were remotely as well designed as this one. Many thanks to the developer.
Such a great app! Allows me to play one particular game – Evony – that’s a PITA unless it’s rotated when you’re trying to find targets objects on the map. The game itself won’t rotate automatically without this app. Occasionally, I have to ‘stop’ ‘start’ this app to get Evony rotating again, but it only takes a few seconds. Ads are only visible on the app’s own window not intrusive. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to play Evony.
I have been using this app since a long time. 5 star forever!
It works once, and then once turning it off / selecting unspecified, it doesn’t seem to work again until I restart my phone. Tried stop/starting, tried force stops, nothing works until a restart. It’s handy for allowing a reverse portrait on a device that doesn’t support it natively, and seems to be the only app to do it, but it constantly needing a restart is super annoying.
App does what it’s supposed to. But it’s always running in the background unless you force stop. This causes my Pixel 8 to lock on portrait when looking at photos/videos – landscape won’t work. Also severely impacts check capture feature on mobile deposit apps. Another thing to consider is when using this app, biometric (fingerprint reader) authentication won’t work. No fault of the app – it’s doing what you asked it to.
Excellent. Really works. Allows individual setting for each app. This functionality should be included in Android.
Nice app i like it the only issue i got is that it didnt want to install on my nvidia shield tv i dont know why i really want this app for my android tv i hope they fix this soon.
Stops working
Its a good app but it would’ve been nice if it added additional control center buttons for screen rotation
It sucks that it doesn’t work like it does on my phone on my Xiaomi Pad 6. But I think it’s OS side problem and not the app.
seems to be ok now but it always does at the start. fingers crossed
Anyway to make the app work on android tv?
Great app you got here
it help so much and free
Excellent app but it doesn’t work on the home screen please fix that
A must have.
