It used to work great. Now it just seems to interfere with apps nonsensically and causes more headaches than necessary. There are times when my screen rotates to landscape mode for no reason and then the next page goes back to portrait. Really a shame. It used to be so helpful

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.

It's almost perfect, even allowing me to manually fix orientation problems when Android loses its mind. I would love a new mode that would allow normal rotation except always force landscape and portrait to one way each, which would allow me to use my phone normally but be able to turn my phone upside down and actually see the screen upside down.
