## Description

**Screen Orientation Control** lets you lock or rotate your Android device’s display instantly from notification controls. Choose from portrait, landscape, reverse, sensor-based, lying-down, and other specialized rotation modes, with 14 settings available in total.

Automatically apply different orientations to specific apps, such as video players, reading apps, and games. The app uses a transparent overlay and foreground service, requiring “Display over other apps” permission. Optional app usage access enables per-app switching. A persistent notification may be required, and battery optimization or other overlay apps can affect reliability.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for being simple and effective, offering true control over screen orientation beyond basic portrait/landscape. Per-app rules and reliable performance across many apps are common positives, especially for apps that resist rotation. The main recurring drawbacks are compatibility gaps (Origin App) and cases where rotation does not apply to all apps, or only affects the UI. Overall, it meets a clear need for finer orientation control with some compatibility caveats.

### Pros

- Simple and easy to use / lightweight
- Provides full control of screen orientation beyond the standard portrait/landscape options
- Supports per-app orientation rules
- Reliable performance across many apps and helps with apps that resist rotation (e.g., Facebook)
- Generally well-received as a useful tool for tablet users and other scenarios requiring flexible orientation

### Cons

- Inconsistent app compatibility: some apps (e.g., Origin App) do not respond to the orientation control
- Not all apps respond to orientation changes; some ignore rotation or only rotate the UI
