## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's ability to force screen orientation across apps without ads and extra cost, which is handy for gaming and unique use cases. However, several mention delayed orientation change, lack of per-app settings, and problems with certain apps not displaying or functioning properly after rotation. There are also complaints about the overlay method used to force rotation and compatibility issues on devices like Android TV.

### Pros

- Allows forcing apps to display in landscape or portrait mode regardless of app settings
- No ads and free to use, providing control without in-app purchases
- Useful for specific use cases like gaming or using phone while charging in landscape
- Works well on older or less capable devices
- Helps in scenarios where physical orientation needs to be forced, such as using phone upside down

### Cons

- Delayed response when switching to landscape orientation on some devices
- Lack of per-app orientation settings to customize behavior
- Some apps become unworkable or controls are misplaced after rotation
- App uses overlay to force rotation which some users find ineffective or cumbersome
- Issues with compatibility, notably on Android TV or specific devices, sometimes not passing permissions
