Comments on Horizon Camera for Android

★★★★★ Lương · Nov 29, 2025
This is a very good app, but unfortunately it doesn't support stabilization on phones that have built in optical image stabilization
★★★★☆ Chris P · Oct 12, 2025
As a retired computer programmer I appreciate what the developer is trying to do with this application, it has a lot of potential. I like how it keeps the image level, but it does not stay level when using the camera as a dash cam. When turning your vehicle left or right, it actually tilts the image like an airplane does when turning. Also, it appears to lose functionality that is built into the camera like EIS and selected focus area. But, if you want a simple application give it a try!
★★★★☆ Brix Ranzel Urciana · Apr 1, 2026
Not good for my a06 5g because yeah, it was getting confused where to horizon lock, so the videi appears messy and swinging, but it happens even if I lightly spin it, not too harsh, and seeing this is trying to make it look like it used something bad, I even used the settings to adjust it from confusion or delay, but it still did not work, I rate it 4 stars because of confusion or delay
★★☆☆☆ Brian C · Feb 17, 2026
It doesn't show the full 16:9 video when the phone is vertical orientation, really makes no difference from recording with the normal app, it just crops it, but it should show the entire video.
★★☆☆☆ Sandeep · Mar 12, 2026
Crops in on the frame to achieve horizontal recording. Not that great!
★★☆☆☆ Dii · Jul 25, 2025
I used this in 2019, it was good and truly recorded my vertical front camera with stability. Updates : No matter I set the settings to Vertical, it keeps recording horizontally. Pls fix it, also the stabilization doesn't work, it makes the video flicker aggressively 😭

Horizon lets you capture horizontal videos and photos no matter how you hold your device. Hold it upright, sideways or even keep rotating it while capturing, your captured moment will always stay horizontal! Shoot with the back or front camera and share your creations!

Ever felt you had to rotate your device while recording a video? Do you often end up with vertical videos or videos in wrong orientation? Enter Horizon!

Horizon works like magic! It auto-levels you photos & videos while recording, using your device’s gyroscope. The resulting orientation is corrected so that it always stays parallel to the ground. Horizon makes your phone act as a 1-axis gimbal rig.

With Horizon you can help bring an end to the Vertical Videos Syndrome. Yes, you can now record horizontal videos, while holding your device in portrait mode!

▶ Video resolutions include VGA, HD and Full HD depending on the device
▶ Save to your SD card
▶ Start/stop video recording using the hardware camera button, or volume buttons.
▶ Take photos while recording.
▶ Three video quality options to help you manage storage space: High, Medium, Low
▶ Three leveling modes include: Flex, the frame is always adjusted for maximum viewport; Rotate, the frame stays fixed; and Locked, the auto-leveling is disabled
▶ Other apps can launch Horizon to record a video for them.

Horizon is free and lets you capture videos and photos with the Horizon logo embedded in the video. Via In-app purchase you can unlock additional functionality such as priority customer support, removal of the Horizon logo, ad removal and access to future features.
-------------------------
Requirements:

- Android 4.3 +
- Accelerometer or Gyroscope

Troubleshooting:

CyanogenMod users: please make sure that Privacy Guard allows Horizon to use the microphone, or else video recording will be unsuccessful.
