## Description

**Rotation Control** is a handy Chrome extension that gives you complete control over your device's screen orientation directly from the notification area. With this tool, you can quickly switch between various rotation modes such as Auto Rotation, Portrait, Landscape, and their reversed or sensor-based variants.

One standout feature is the **Guard** mode, which prevents other applications from altering your chosen screen orientation, ensuring your display stays just the way you want it. Please note, depending on your device, not all rotation modes may be available. When installing new applications, remember to disable Guard mode temporarily to avoid conflicts.

Rotation Control is perfect for users seeking convenient and reliable orientation management without the hassle of navigating through multiple settings menus.

## Review summary

Users praise Rotation Control as a reliable, free, and easy-to-use rotation tool that many find among the best options, with several reviews noting it works as described and is ad-free. However, recurrent issues across reviews include inconsistent functionality (crashes and non-working scenarios), orientation bugs (random or incorrect portrait/landscape switching), and limitations such as only rotating individual apps rather than the entire screen. Compatibility problems on certain devices/Android versions, plus conflicts with system overlays/permissions, are also common pain points. Overall, it’s solid for some but unreliable on others.
