Rotation Control

Perfect, Free, and Adware Free! It requires no permissions and uses Zero data! Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. At first I thought since it was old it might not work, but once I went through its settings it works perfectly. You need to enable notifications for it, the Display On Top access, and enable it in the Accessibility section of your phone. Could've saved me a few bucks that I paid for a different app if I'd tried that first. The only thing it doesn't have is a 'blacklist' for apps to not to use it.

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!

I whish it had quick settings tiles, instead of an interactive notification. If the reason for using a notification is to prevent the system from killing the app in the background, we could just disable all battery optimisation rules for this app, or there could be a small, empty permanent notification (which can easily be hidden on most ROMs), while the controls should still be located as quick setting tiles. Other then that, amazing powerful app, many features (more then I need even)! <3

Good app, unfortunately, it seems to break some Google UI lately. As an instance, I couldn't proceed on deleting mails in GMail as I couldn't click on the OK button in the confirmation popup. Same goes for Google Account's MFA, I couldn't click on OK unless I removed appear on top permissions for this very application. It used to work seemlessly though, but Android and Google apps updates ruined it. For reference, I have a Samsung Galaxy A14 running Android 14 and OneUI 6.1. Happy debugging !

This app is truly useful as I have a tablet and interestingly, some games do not automatically play in landscape mode: so annoying for a disabled person like me. This app fixed the problem instantly and the various options available make it perfect for gaming. However, yes unfortunately there's a however, it either crashes or turn itself off after a few minutes playing a game. Having to stop the game every time and restart Rotation Control and the game as well every three minutes is tedious, please fix this issue and I'll give you 5 stars. My system is Android 10.

Used to work great (and still does on my old Samsung Tab) but with my new phone, it doesn't hold your selection. I have it set, and the phone just does whatever it wants, as others have said. Don't know why this one can't hold position as it was a good app for a long time. If they could fix it, it would be again, but sadly I'll probably have found another one that works for me by then.

I downloaded this specifically to play Temple Run 2 in landscape mode and OMG! I had no idea this was even possible. The results are amazing. It's likely that Temple Run already had a Tablet friendly mode that I never knew about because I never played on a tablet. Anyway, it's showing features on the maps that I've never seen and it's SO.....BEAUTIFUL. Sometimes technology bugs me and sometimes, like this one, it amazes me. This is the coolest app I've found this year so far. Great job devs!

Great app. Does exactly what I need it to do on the F(x)Tec Pro 1 which is to force apps in to landscape when I have the keyboard open. It even works for Instagram & Tiktok (much to my daughter's delight). The only gripe I have is the configuration menu in the notification drawer is too intrusive. It would be better if it was called up by a button on the status bar instead. I don't need it to always be present when checking my notifications.

This review is especially for those who are using the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. You've got to follow instructions for this app, as it works perfectly. Once it's set up and you select your desired rotation, make sure that the shield is also highlighted this means that the action you selected is protected and can't be interfered with by another app. So if yours does not rotate make sure this is selected as well as your forced rotation choice.

Absolutely perfect. I don't understand why manual control isn't the android default, but whatever, that's fixed now that I've found this. Also, the interface - a little bar of mode icons to choose from when you drag down the settings menu - is very clean and convenient. Excellent work! (Also, doesn't need root, which was pleasantly surprising)

This one works! And it is yet free! (Like in 'free beer'.) And it is slim. And it asks for no special permission. And, if someone is able to make an application to have so plenty features and yet to be so tiny, then it is a sign of a good, smart programming, so, I am interested for all other works of the author(s) - being them paid or not. Thanks, for the beauty.

Absolute GODSEND of an app. For some reason, my phone can't be rotated upside down (such that the charging port is up rather than down). And my phone screen got cracked in such a way that the bottom quarter of the screen is unintelligible, and so using this app i can make it so the upper quarter of the screen is the unintelligible part instead. Very useful for wanting to read since you read from the bottom

This app is a life-saver. A design fluke of the Galaxy S6 resulted in the heat of the fast-charging module burning out the accelerometer in my phone, and I've been using this for years as a wonderful help to rotate the screen. I use it in my tablet sometimes to to force apps to rotate (not every app is designed to work in both orientations, so not every one will work right if forced to rotate)

This was the only rotation app I've ever used, prior to the update it worked flawlessly. Unfortunately since the update it no longer works. I get an error that does not want to go away. It says this app needs read or write system settings. Even if I give it that access, it just stays on that screen and does nothing. I guess I must look for an alternative now and uninstall the app since it no longer works. How sad I really liked it...

I'm sorry. I loved this app, when it worked years ago. Now it requires strange permissions, and yet the apps/system still do what they want with the screen. Have to click manually on the notification each time, even with the "guard" on, to rorate the screen correctly. I award 4 stars, because though it doesn't work for me at all, it has NO stupid ads like the other similar apps. Thanks for trying!

This app does what it says it does, nothing else it delivers the experience you ask in an intuitive way. It has become a default install for every Android device I own. This product is a must have for Tablets, especially if you operate them, with a Gamepad (I use an Xbox One S wireless, though Joycons and PS4 controllers work) as it let's you keep every experience forced landscape. I give this 5 stars for perfectly delivering the advertised experience and use. (Edited errors)

Used to be great but for many months now has been having trouble rotating upside down which was the reason I downloaded it. It would also be great if there was a choice to deactivate rotation when the screen locks, to avoid getting locked out of your phone if you forgot it rotated on one side and having to format and lose your data.

I use this app to rotate the screen on my phone 180 degrees because from the factory, the charge port is on the bottom and the headphone port is on top, which makes no sense. How am I supposed to use a phone stand while charging with the port on the bottom and no wireless charging support? And who thought it was a good idea to put the headphone jack on the top? This has been a standard for decades: the headphone jack goes on the bottom so it hangs down and creates a natural U shape.

Pretty awesome app, lets me play some landscape games in portrait mode (with the help of reachability cursor). Would like some options to customize the persistent notification banner, though (icons, colors, etc). Also a way to exit the app easily if you just wanted to use it for one thing and now no longer want the banner at the top.

Update... Does NOT automatically work in sensor mode to reverse portrait if Picture In Picture mode is active (with paramount+, at least). It does work in forced reverse portrait under the same condition. Will happily return to 5 star when it does. Fixes Youtube Music's landscape mode. Perfection! Warns that it's for old version but still works with no issues (so far).
