I was looking for a tool that could rotate each individual app as a please and this one does it great job dev.🏆

Best app of its kind out there. Other apps always have some quirks. The only situation when it works funny is with YouTube app, when switching to the popup picture-in-picture and back.

I would be cautious about using this app. I used it only 2-3 times over the period of a few months, always for a short time and force closed the app after I was finished. After I used it today my phone now randomly switches apps into a sideway display while minimizing the app to a smaller ratio. Orientation Control was off and force closed. I uninstalled it now and rebooted the phone; I hope I won't have any issues anymore.

Not happy with forced updates. It wasn't broke, so why am I forced to update it? This app literally stops working and the only way to continue is to update. It's so inconvenient. I'm going to look for something else.

No rotation mode with 3/4 orientations. (no upside down). Ie the way my android phone worked until some update fugged it up.

A recent update has removed much of the functionality which made this app great. I therefore reduce my 5-star initial assessment to 2, Commensurate with widget size reduction. The klugey work around suggested is that, klugey; Where I had the performative, easy ability to change my orientation of screen in a moment, I now have to launch the app and do the same, depending on the context this is worse, and can result in losses that would otherwise be avoided. I would still recommend with proviso
