User reviews

User reviews summary

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.

Pros

Rotates screen for comfortable reading.
Only extension found for some specific needs like reading manga sideways.
Simple options and enabling process when understood.

Cons

Does not work on certain devices like Mac Air or Linux Chrome 42.0.
Rotation causes partial display of page or inability to scroll properly.
Requires a page refresh to apply rotation which resets the content.

Most mentioned

Issues with compatibility on Mac devices.
Partial page visibility and scrolling issues after rotation.
Confusion about activation leading to a perception that it doesn't work.

Recent reviews

Needs an option to make the rotation apply to 1 tab only, and I don't like having to refresh the page to apply the rotation. I will update my rating if/when these issues are fixed (please notify me in that case).
